G-Eazy // Marilyn (ft. Dominique LeJeune)

G-Eazy Strikes Again

With a James Dean style swag, G-Eazy has just dropped his latest single,”Marilyn”, and without a doubt it proves how much this artist is coming into his own. The track is light, catchy, but keeps that head nodding groove that G executes so well. His flow is confident and his lyrics are on point, they are heart felt and full of emotion. The ladies will defiantly get down with this little diddy. Well done to G-Eazy and his team (@2mattyb) (@G-Eazy).

Back to the Future Hover Board Replica

No this is not a joke:

Mattel has announced the production of 1:1 scale replicas of the back to the future hover board.

YES, THAT HOVER BOARD!

Seriously, if I had the dough, I would splurge on 5 of these just to hang around my room. Thank you Michael J Fox for an amazing series of movies/Steven Spielberg for fantastic cinematography and ideas like this.

PS thank you HighSnobiety for cluing me into this amazing project.

\\Yes, I am a nerd//

Schoolboy Q ft. A$AP Rocky

$Ear Worm Status$

“Hands on the Wheel”

I heard this track a few months ago and just grazed over it (thanks gorilla vs bear, your website is ugly.) Thanks to my Google Reader, I saw this little diddy sitting in my browser waiting to be played. Once again, this is a head nodding, blunt smoking, beer crackin’ tune. A$AP has been consistenly shelling out these post-modern, innovative, catchy rap tracks, and to be honest, I can’t get enough of them. As Schoolboy Q puts it “for me is just weed and brews.” Enjoy this some what dark anthem to being FUCKED UP. Oh yeah, Q samples kid Cudi (courtesy of country singer Lissie.)

Stay Cray New Orleans,

“Hey Sparrow” by Peaking Lights

Husband/Wife duo Peaking Lights have been around the block for awhile now, I just wish I new about them sooner. Beautifully swollen guitar melodies accompanied by hard hitting, yet poorly mixed percussions and synthetic grammars. Imagine walking in cold air, with brittle leaves snapping under your feet. Yeah. It’s kind of like that. Check out their song “Tiger Eyes” as well.

As Cities Burn Returns!!

So, in case anyone remembers As Cities Burn, they’re comin’ home. After years of inactivity due to breaking up after their last album Hell or High Water they’ve decided to play a local show in their hometown Baton Rouge at the Spanish Moon! On April 14th they’ll be playing with their original lineup including TJ! Check them out in this video and come out to see them!

Harvard

If only this band was still around releasing music.  Harvard’s album “The Inevitable And I” is truly a masterpiece.  Talented musicians and original, creative music to the core.  I suggest everyone check them out.

M83

M83: Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming

Fuck being current. I’ve known of M83 for a while now, but completely forgot to check out his latest album. “Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming” is a pensive, dreamy, yet epic sounding album. To me, its wonderful mixed and each track is increasingly innovation and engaging. Anthony Gonzalez (m83) has truly mastered his craft on this new double album, using samples effectively and musically. It is 74 minute experience that I truly recommend.

FOR FANS OF “PASSION PIT”, “NEON INDIAN”, AND “TORO Y MOI”, and “THE CURE.” THIS IS FOR YOU!

Cheers,

Kimbra

Kimbra..what to say, really? She is an amazing artist, and beautiful to boot.  I suggest everyone watch this video.  You can find some of her official music videos on youtube, and you can find both of her albums online.

If you’d like more of these live videos, they are on youtube and in the suggestions.  Check them out, trust me!

Cheers.
