Dunt dunt dunts

Allow me to start by warning the world that His Streetness Pablo Escalade and Forrest Trump are about to take the hip-hop world by storm - a torrential downpour of hos, cocaine, assault rifles and luxury SUVs is on the horizon.

In case you weren't aware I'm pretty sure Kid Cudi is going to save hip-hop. Here's another dope mix tape, courtesy of Turbo City. And fuck what Pitchfork says (those guys are assholes anyway) if you want low-brow blowjob rap look no further than the Lady GaGa sampling "Poke Her Face."

It should come as no surprise that I'm in love with the new St. Vincent album Actor, cop it before it goes down again at Alternative Take. It's not the most inspired video and certainly not the best track on the album, but here is the video for Actor Out of Work:


Kid 606 is your man for glitch, and thankfully he's come back with a new album full of spazzy break beats and cannibalism. Grab it at nodata.

Let's go ahead and keep it weird with the new Dirty Projectors release Bitte Orca. Watch the video for Stillness is The Move below and then cop it over at Radiobutt


Here's a throwback to last year: If you missed Atlas Sound, the solo project from Bradford Cox (singer from Deerhunter), you fucked up! Fret not - I am here to rectify the situation. The only LP under the moniker, Let The Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Feel is fantastic. It was recently re-uped at Independent World.

Heavy Rotation - Friday The 13th

To start off this week's round up I recommend going over to Michachu's Myspace and checking out the track "Golden Phone", which is one of my favorites on her upcoming debut "Jewellery" (not a typo). She and her band The Shapes will be playing a bunch of sets during SXSW, but not coming through Tucson for WXSW. The album is a lot of fun and can be found over at El Rincon De Kik.

Next up to bat is the third album from Art Brut who are back with the same basic formula. It has definitely been done before but I've still been bumping it a lot this week; it's good for a laugh if nothing else. Check out Art Brut vs. Satan at nodata after you watch the video for "Alcoholics Unanimous."


I know this album is over a year old, but seeing as Vivian Girls just tweeted:
"We just finished tracking the entire 2nd album. Our hands are sore and we are psyched! 6:49 PM Mar 10th from web",
I thought it was a good time to post last year's self-titled debut in case you missed it. Follow the link to Ritmono to check it out.

And since I honestly believe this dude is going to overshadow Kanye within a year or two, check out the new Kid Cudi mixtape "Stoner Charm" from Rappamelo. Then watch the second video for Day N Nite which is way fresher than the first (which Cudi himself apparently hated.)
