Bigmouth Strikes Again - The Smiths

I wasn't sure what to pick as one of today's songs, so I clicked the shuffle button and let MediaMonkey work its magic. Of course, The Smiths! How could I forget? Although nobody loves Morrissey more than Morrissey, that doesn't negate how classic of a song this is.


And if this song doesn't cut it for you, you're bound to like something off of the The Queen is Dead album.

Funkin' For The Thrill - George Duke

Feelgood music at it's finest, from one of my favorite funk masters (could I fit anymore 'f' words in there?). Have a nice weekend everybody!

Check out the rest of the Follow the Rainbow album if you like this classic joint.

Crunk De Gaulle feat. Busdriver, TTC, & D-Styles - edIT

 

What happens when you pair glitch master edIT with four brilliant rappers and a DJ who's been called the Jimi Hendrix of scratching? This song, and it couldn't have been done any better. Listen, and take your own opinion away from it, but I'll tell you this much - you're in for a ride.



If you like it, you should check out the rest of the Certified Air Raid Material album. You won't be disappointed.

Raw Cuts #4 - Motor City Drum Ensemble

This is by far one of my favorite house albums. I'm not even going to go into subgenres, it's not worth it, but it's definitely house. I like the almost unidentifiable vocal sample along with the keys in the back. Smooth music that should be in your collection if you're a house fan.

Check out the rest of the Raw Cuts Vol. 1 album. You won't be disappointed.

Mr. Scruff - Music Takes Me Up

Shuffle has served me well yet again, here's a classic song by Mr. Scruff. Upbeat drums, catchy vocals, and a jazzy piano riff make for an instant favorite.

If you like it, check out the rest of the Ninja Tuna album!

Princess Toadstool - FLYamSAM

Clearly the shuffle feature on my computer is broken if I'm listening to another piece that Flying Lotus had his hand in (see previous post for details). Or is this a sign?

In this collaboration project, FlyLo teamed up with Samiyam to produce some soulful electronics that I think anybody could kick back to. One thing that stands out to me in this song is the synth - it's reminiscent of an old Nintendo, but has this buzz to it that rings beautifully on a nice set of speakers (or headphones, if that's what you've got on you).


What stands out to you?

P.S. I'd give you a link to an album to check out, but there is none! I heard it was supposed to come out sometime last year, but apparently that never happened.

Massage Situation - Flying Lotus

This is easily one of my favorite songs. The drums, the sample, everything fits together so perfectly to make for a song you can close your eyes to and drift away in. What do you think?
