Any hip hop artist that samples Yann Tiersen is a-ok in my book. This track is brought to us by American hip hop artist Wale, off of his debut album Attention Deficit.
I’m won’t lie, the first time I heard this next track I was a little disappointed. You see, stellastarr* is one of my all-time favorite bands, so you might say that makes me extra critical. But after further listens, I couldn’t and haven’t stopped listening to this track. This is definitely a track to turn up loud and belt out while your driving. This track is off of their 3rd album, Civilized.
This next track really doesn’t need an introduction. All you need to know is that it is Sigur Rós and off their fourth album Takk… Quite honestly, this is one of my favorite songs and having this song stuck in my head is a gift.
With the help of my good friend (and fellow blogger: http://35mm-beats-fabric-letters.blogspot.com/) Brendan, we’ll be bringing you the best songs of 2009 throughout the month of December. Take the jump to http://35mm-beats-fabric-letters.blogspot.com/ and you’ll see what we chose for today.
I’ll be back later today with what’s stuck in my for this week, so stay tuned.
this first gem comes to us from N.A.S.A. (norther america/south america), a hip hop indie music duo consisting of Squeak E. Clean and DJ Zegon, off their debut album The Spirit of Apollo.
We Were Promised Jetpacks are an indie rock band based in Glasgow, Scotland, comprised of Adam Thompson (vocals, guitar), Michael Palmer (guitar), Sean Smith (bass), and Darren Lackie (drums). this particular track can be found on their debut album The Four Walls.
granted you haven’t been living under a rock this last year, the french indie, alternative rock group Phoenix needs no introduction. Lisztomania was the first single and one of many unforgettable tracks from their 4th album, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. here i have the acoustic version of Lisztomania for your listening pleasure.
as i sit here contemplating something clever to write, i realize i have absolutely no idea what i’m doing. inspired by my good friend brendan’s dive into the virtual world (35mmBeats), i’ve decided to add my own bit of taste to the world wide web. here you’ll get a taste of what feeds my fancy—mostly music, but sometimes movies, reading, fashion, poodles, etc. you don’t have to read this and you definitely don’t have to agree, but there’s a reason they’re concrete opinions.
