Kutiman Mixes YouTube <—–Click that. It’s amazing. It’s the brand new project from Kutiman and, to date, it’s one of the greatest things that exists on the internet. I know it’s a bold statement, and I stand by it… one of the greatest things. He takes random YouTube clibs of people playing different instruments, or people doing [...] Read More…

This song is the first track of their debut album, Droppin’ Science Fiction. But the album is just good, it’s not great. Lateef used to be one of my favorite [...] Read More…
First track is a mash up of Mobb Deep’s “Shook One’s Pt II” vocals blended together Bob Marley’s “I Shot The Sheriff” by Jon Moskowitz & Swindle. They also layered a beat on top of the Bob Marley classic which gives the mash-up more of a hip hop feel. These guys actually made a whole album of Bob [...] Read More…
First song is The Kooks covering MGMT’s “Kids” from the album Oracular Spectacular. “Kids” is my favorite track from the MGMT album and I’m really excited to see MGMT for only my second time on September 20th, with Spoon, opening for Beck at the Hollywood Bowl (little inside scoop here- Beck is getting between a 21-40 piece orchestra [...] Read More…
