Santogold June 27, 2008

Filed under: electronic, indie — admin @ 3:15 pm

I posted about Santogold last fall, and her long awaited full length album is finally here.  After an extra two months of cold, rainy weather in Seattle, summer has also finally been DELIVERED.  It’s 80 degrees outside and the sky is a perfect blue.  I was driving around today, with my sunroof open, windows down, the new Santogold blasting and I felt like king of the world on a rail of cocaine. 

The songs range from electronic to a more acoustic arrangement.  My Superman and Starstruck make me remeniscsent of Siouxsie Sioux. Lights Out is syrupy sweet indie goodness.  Unstoppable, You’ll Find A Way and Creator give M.I.A. a run for her money.  

This album is good medicine, a quench to my musical cottonmouth. I’m eating it up. Drop everything you’re doing right now, and devour.

Here are some tracks that haven’t already been posted to rapology before:

Lights Out
Starstruck
My Superman
Unstoppable


Beirut October 4, 2007

I am having a love affair with Beirut.  This is no ordinary love affair.  Every word, every note, every breath rips my heart out in pleasure and pain. 

Pulse quickens.  Tears vein my cheeks.  A culmination of all emotion stirred.

When’s the last time music made you feel something?  I mean really feel something?

I’m sure indie writers the world over have already disected Beirut’s new album, The Flying Club Cup. I’ll spare you an attempt and just share with you instead, my ineffable musical affliction.
