MGMT- It's Working

This is my favorite song off of MGMT's sophomore album Congratulations, so I'm glad it's their newest single.

The music video is a nice concept, but what a huge departure away from their earlier stuff like ''Electric Feel".

Lady Toker's Monthly Mix: June 2010

As this is a brand new baby girl music blog, I am always coming up with ideas of things to feature.

Welcome to the first of a monthly playlist created by me!

This will be a collection of the best songs I have collected, and that I have been listening to non-stop all month.
Enjoy!

HIP HOP REMIXES:

Lil' Wayne- Office Musik (Clockwork Edit)

Here is a mash-up of Lil' Wayne's 'Hustler Musik', and the theme song of The Office. I don't watch the show so that fact doesn't add or take away from the song at all for me.

Gucci Mane- Excuse Me(Diplo Remix)

I must say any remix by Diplo, or anything by Diplo is a safe bet to be something I will love. This song was made for the "Diplo Presents" Free Gucci" mixtape. I love the beat obviously, you can help but the love the "poet" that is Gucci himself.
"Please pardon me, please pardon me, I'm sorry I'm so sparkely."

Wale- Freaks (Bird Peterson Remix)

Suchhh a chill remix. Bird Peterson makes some good shit. I don't normally listen to Wale, but a lot of remixes of his songs have been catching my ear. This song is dedicated to the freaks.

DUBSTEP REMIX:

Kid Sister- Pro Nails (Rusko Dubstep Remix)

I love Dubstep and Rusko is some of the kings of the genre. Pair them up with Kid Sister and you got a sick track. I feel like the original beat for this song was just begging to become a real boy, a real dubstepin' boy.

ELECTRO REMIX:

La Roux- Bulletproof (HYPERCRUSH Remix)

I know you hear this song on the radio ALL the time, but you ain't heard it like this before. Hypercrush is a band from LA that does remixes on the side and this one is pretty tight. I like listening to it when I work out.

Benny Benassi feat. Kelis, Aple.de.ap, and Jean-Baptiste- 'Spaceship'

I like Kelis' new sound/look. No more milkshakes.JN64DPVNZ66P

Passion Pit- Dreams (The Cranberries Cover)

Here is a beautiful cover of The Cranberries' song, 'Dreams' by Passion Pit.
It was released on the reissue of their album Manners.
Seriously, who doesn't love Passion Pit!

Kid Cudi- Converse Short Film

Here's a teaser for the up-coming short film on Kid Cudi by Converse.
The YouTube page says:

"We worked with Kid Cudi on this short film, capturing the artist exploring his native Cleveland while providing a look into his artistic journey. "

 Word.

Journey to Plastic Beach

Ahh, it all makes sense now Gorillaz!

Here is a lengthy (15:47) music video that combines the two Plastic Beach music videos, 'Stylo' and 'On Melancholy Hill' into a story.
If you were wondering how the two ideas related and the poltline, this is the answer.

ARTIST OF THE WEEK: Die Antwoord

This is the first installment of a weekly undertaking featuring an up-and-coming artist/ band of hip hop and/ or electro spirit. Welcome.

First up is Die Antwoord.

Die Antwoord hails from South Africa and is part of the musical movement down there called Zef. The group's name means 'The Answer' in Africaans, while Zef is slang for basically 'next level shit'.
Now let me tell you, front man Ninja,  his hype lady Yo-Landi, and beat master DJ Hi-Teck are all about that next level shit.
Their music can best be described as gangsta white trash rave.
Yea, that sums it up nicely.

I came across these guys in the new HARD promo cd. HARD is a series of raves around the US. check out the free download of the cd HERE.
You will get a taste of some other sweetness like Crystal Castles and Rusko.

Being a music video junkie, this jem made me fall in love with them even more.




Here's another video to let you get a taste of what Die Antwoord is all about:





Now, Die Antwoord went ridiculously viral in about April, but many doubted the credibility of the group. I won't go into detail about this because I think its bullshit, but you can read an article about the 'conspiracy' HERE. I think they are fucking sick, next level shit, and if they weren't the real deal would they have a recording contract with Interscope???Their Album, '$O$', will be coming out 'fokkon soon' according to their website, but I'm pretty sure most of it has already leaked on the internet. 
So lastly, I will leave you with my favorite song by Die Antwoord so far! 
Die Antwoord- Jou Ma Se Poes In 'N Fishpaste Jar
By the way, that apparently means "your mother's cunt in a fishpaste jar".

Gorillaz - On Melancholy Hill
