paperboy gangsters

June 29, 2008

you guys remember that game is that what theyre talking about with paper route gangstaz? because i know its probably about money laundering or whatever but what if it was about newspapers and riding bikes diagonally

paper route gangstaz - grind baby (zshare)

this ones pretty good, im really looking forward to their big mixtape probably as much as im looking forward to any other albums this summer (game and david banner, notably). but i feel like i say anything they do is good even if it isnt necessarily just because the internet told me to

good day

June 29, 2008

who doesnt love happy rap. ok and who doesnt like kids yelling.

greg street & nappy roots - good day (zshare)

remember when la la came out the first one, not the one on the album. ok now take out the la-la’s and replace them with “aint nobody gonna die today,” and then lil wayne is nappy roots so thats a downgrade, but they seem happy to be there so we give a couple points back

ive listened to this a bunch of times and i dont really remember the rapping at all but the chorus is nice. oh wait actually i do remember it a little bit, its a kind of gravelly version of riding bikes and sprinklers

look around you

June 26, 2008

i just found out about this sort of old british show called look around you, its an satirical educational show set in the 1980s, its pretty good actually i would say its really good. i have only watched a few parts so far: music 2000 which is a contest to predict the music of the future, one about synthesizers which was ok, and some other ones where people compete for best invention

its a lot of awkward silences and ugly people, they go through a lot of trouble to make it look authentically shitty

i put the video about fast food sensation casserole which doesnt sound too funny but so far its probably my favorite one, they are all pretty good though. its super boring and super clever

a long format post

June 26, 2008

this is kind of two long awatied posts in one, first about the rubies and then about studio. i might have mentioned both bands before.

the rubies are pretty good, they are similar to chromatics but more poppy and less nostalgic. theyre from somewhere in europe which is i guess why theyre not famous in america yet, if in fact they arent. sometimes they sound like feist too which might be my imagination because the rubies girl made the last feist album cover.

the video for i feel electric is over there

i just wanted to explain the rubies first because this song is a remix. im talking a lot about it because it is so good and i wanted to set it up kind of.

then studio is a band i know less about but have listened to equally much, which is a considerable amount. the first time i heard about them boss james was telling me about this really expensive record he wanted to buy and i found it on the internet for considerably cheap if you know what i mean.

theyre really good but hard to listen to and only listen to them, like just focus on the music. you want to plant flowers or draw a picture on your computer or something at the same time, but doing that and being distracted makes you appreciate the music that much more.

or for example i have a cd called mozart for the mind and i have listened to it a lot a lot but every time is because i am writing a paper, but that doesnt mean i dont love it and wasnt one of the best 10 dollars i spent probably.

so dont expect this song to be that great if youre just listening on zshare, go put it on your ipod and walk the dog when you listen to it, or watch people on the train and listen to it thats another good one. ultimately this is my favorite kind of music, not rap or not rap, but watching people on the train music. so for me, this is an exceptional song.

the rubies - room without a key (studio remix) (zshare)

im not trying to be profound or anything but its summer time and walking around and doing stuff is what youre supposed to be doing. it looks like the new studio cd is hard to find but you should order it here and click the link to buy their first cd too

its really good if you have to drive anywhere pretty
