Listen To This: I Killed Myself When I Was Young/Something Good This Way Comes

Here are two songs which fit my emotions right now pretty well.  Both are melancholy, but still optimistic.Incidentally, you can find of these tracks on Volume 2 of the Friday Night Lights soundtrack, which is interesting because that show is set in Texas which is where I'm headed. Enjoy these songs, and remember that though we leave people behind, the memories will always remain.

A.A. Bondy- I Killed Myself When I Was Young


Jakob Dylan- Something Good This Way Comes

Listen To This: The Bully Plank

Probably could've posted this a while, but whatever.  This track is by Paper Tiger, who from what I can tell is basically a one-man, non-guitar-using version of Ratatat.  The track itself is a nice instrumental built around a nice piano riff, some soul samples, and various beats.  The hypnotic whole is definitely greater than the sum of its parts on this song.  Enjoy!

Listen To This: Taboo?

SomeWhere Else is a nice new band out of LA comprised of three emcees and a guitarist.  It sounds like a strange combination, but it works really well.  Definitely give this song a listen.

SomeWhere Else- Taboo

Listen To This: V For Vizzy

For those of you haven't listened to XV yet, here's a best of (so far) mixtape to make you a fan.  Enjoy.

XV- V For Vizzy

Listen To This: The Soup/The War

Not a lot going around the web so far today, so here's my two favorite tracks so far from Wale's More About Nothing.  The Soup is just a crazy hot banger (I mean, it samples the Soup Nazi so yeah, it's awesome), and The War is a nice smooth track with Daniel Merriweather killin' it on the hook. Scroll down to yesterday's post to get the whole tape and stay tuned for my biggest post to date later this week or early next.

Wale- The Soup

Listen To This: More About Nothing

Wale dropped the sequel to his Seinfeld inspired "Mixtape About Nothing", and it is niiiice.   His mixtapes have always been awesome, and this one is no exception.

Listen To This: Zeros

(This post clearly was meant for the day I got back, but technical difficulties pushed it back to today.) I just got back from an incredible journey, first through Houston and then through the lakes of Northern Wisconsin.  Throughout these trips, this laid-out, spacey banger by brandUn DeShay served as my soundtrack.  You won't find this song by itself anywhere else, so, yeah. Kind of a big deal.  Enjoy, and look for new stuff comin at you tomorrow.
