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

What I'm Listening To - 8.28.07

well, now that this blog is taking shape in my mind, i'm starting out with my first 'what i'm listening to.' click on titles to check out the songs.



1. "Model (Sinden Remix)" by To My Boy.



I found this awesome little remix, which quips "this weekend I constructed a model for the answer. it wasn't very easy, but these things never are i suppose!" what is to my boy answering? the question of life's purpose? hm. left me wondering. awesome house/techno beat with great production backing and remix by Sinden, a great British DJ that's worth checking out.

2."No One" by Alicia Keys

New midtempo love song from her forthcoming album, As I Am. Adequate lyrics, great instrumentation as always, but you can tell her voice has aged in the years since her last album. Slurred runs, overexertion, pitchiness. But still, a good track to brighten a day. It's all about that feeling one gets in an ideal relationship. Sure, it's trite, but it's cute. "No one/can get in the way of what i feel for you." Makes me feel lacking in the relationship area. sigh.





from my seemingly endless vault of music comes one of the first techno pieces i ever listened to and became addicted to when i discovered columbia house and signed up as a rebel 10 year old member. included in my first shipment was urbal beats, which i had chosen due to my love for the band the prodigy and their album, the fat of the land. but that's another story. track sixteen just happened to be

"Busy Child" by The Crystal Method
