What I'm Listening To - 10.10.07

"Handle Me" by Robyn.




She is one crazy lady. if you dare to, you will remember her from her pop smashes 'Do You Know (What It Takes)' and 'Show Me Love.' Now that she's no longer a US pop label machine, running her own music label just for her music, sure she's still producing pop, but it's much more refined and ...just orgasmic. check out her entire album, Robyn, which debuts in the US on December 4th, though it's been out for two years in Sweden.

"Get Back" by Britney Spears

from her as-yet-unreleased album, Blackout. ok. everyone has his or her own opinion about britbrit. sure, she's a crazy-fucked addict that needs help. i've been there. i've been down the road of insanity called addiction and alcoholism. but, seriously, she has to reach rock-fucking bottom (again?) before she wants to get help. so...let her do it. fuck her.

anyway, about the song. this is one of a handful of tracks from the Demo leak that I really love. I WILL be buying her CD. Yup. This, Kala and Good Girl Gone Bad will sum up my 2007 Purchases. just download the track. love it, loathe it. whatever. do it.

1. "Someone Great" by LCD Soundsystem

My second favorite song from my second favorite album of 2007 thus far. I'll let the video speak for itself

What I'm Listening To - 9.16.07

1. "Drop It Like It's Hot (Timbaland Remix)" by Snoop Dogg.

just continue on my little string of anti-Pharrell propaganda, here's a better mix of Drop It Like It's Hot, found on one of the beloved-by-me blogs, attorney st. I mean, I do enjoy the original. I just kinda love the drum groove to this one with the piercing synths. c'mon. gotta love it.

not much else to say. did i mention Pharrell is tired? or that timbo is better?

or maybe that Shock Value sucks?

or maybe that ...i dunno.

2. "The Pulse" by Digitalism.

why not. just a random, very nice electronic bit from the...well, one of the best electronic acts of 2007. I just love arpeggiators, and decayed dog-barking synths. woof.

digitalism sure knows how to stir up a frenzy better than most of their contemporaries. the swell and magnitude thereof are just striking. i found myself wading through this track the first time I heard it, as it was SO much to process.

that should give you enough reason to listen, right? also, check out their album,idealism

1. "Candy Shop" by Madonna

Full, HQ rip, from her as-yet unreleased next album. Much better than The Beat Goes On. Take a listen :D

edit: I much preferred the Dub of this song, sadly. The production track is thin, sounds like Pharrell imitated Timbaland horribly, her voice is cloying, and the lyrics are in-between. maybe madonna found a genre she can't own?




2. A Modern Midnight Conversation by The Chemical Brothers.


Funky Town sample? check. Awesome running bassline? check. Usual AMAZING Chemical Brothers production? check. European woman singing 'Listen to your heart/don't run away'? Check. this song is too catchy. from the first time i heard it, it's been in my head at least once a day. a decent album, too.
