1. Kanye West, “Hell Of A Life” (Stream/mp3) (AR: This is the track from the "Runaway" video for the Phoenix screaming before the cooked turkey. It's also the sickest riff I've heard from the leaked tracks to date... Click here to buy the track)

   i Heard it On: Hip Hop Ruckus



2. Theophilus London, "Flying Overseas" f. Solange Knowles and Devonte Hynes (Video)  (AR: Theophilus' travel-wistful slow-jam is now set on a beach we'd all like to be on, with video effects to transport us there. Still dig this song.)

3. Kanye West, “That’s My Bitch” (Feat. Jay-Z & La Roux) (stream) (AR: Old school hip hop beat for Kanye and Jay-Z collab, with La Roux on the chorus. Gritty niceness on this track.)

   i Heard it On: Stereogum



4. Arcade Fire, "The Suburbs" (Video) (AR: Spike Jonze directs this video which paints a picture of Arcade Fire's anthem to urban sprawl.)

   i Heard it On: Pitchfork



5. Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti, "Round And Round" (Video) (AR: The opening 20 seconds of this video made me almost not post it, but the remaining 5:20 are worth it. Pretty extraordinary sound.)
