(a very special) new music: 10.24.08

new music is something i always try to do but fall short of updating, the idea it's me telling you what i've been listening to for the last week or so, and giving you the chance to check out something you might not normally check out. so yeah... I'll just start up new music right now.

Matt and Kim- daylight
i first saw Matt and Kim last week on you "rock the deuce". they hosted the whole damn thing , they seemed like your basic Brooklyn hipster trash, and I'm not trying to say there anything other than that but they had alot of fun in the video for daylight and i had the song stuck in my head for a few days.

3oh!3-starstrukk
i love 30h!3, just fun, techno beats and filthy lyrics, starstrukk in particular has this ridiculously catchy whistling part in the chorus, that combined with their lack of discretion in demeaning women which stating themselves as intellectual new age hipsters makes them a win.

chromeo- Bonafied Lovin' (Tough Guys)
the first song i heard by chromeo was "momma's boy" which is great song, but does not prepare for the energy that's all over fancy footwork, the duo's sophomore effort... as far energy is concerned, it doesn't get much better then bonafied lovin' a song about someone who feels like like their much more mature than whoever their with right now..the only reason i'm even talking about the premise in such a reading rainbow fashion is to bring up the line " Nevermind a SMS, what you need is a sweet caress"...too good

Ludacris- what them girls like (feat. Chris Brown)
ludacris and chris brown FTW, i have not gotten tired of this song yet, it's repetitive not a new concept(it seems ludacris and chris know what them girls like as it were)not a revolutionary but if you like ANY Ludacris it's pretty much all the same..excpet the song he did with Mary j Blige about girls who runaway, that was weird

Ben Folds- Hiroshima(B B B Benny hits his head)
this is song ENTIRELY about Ben Folds tripping on stage at a show in japan, passing out and have to get head x-rays... so it's clearly a relatable concept... maybe not, but it is catchy

Lily Allen- Fuck you very much
for some reason this song comes up at "guess who batman" still though it's a poppy as you expect a Lily Allen song to be... and then some

Forgive Durden- "It's True Love" (ft. Greta Salpeter of The Hush Sound)
this is off of the new Forgive Durden cd which i am eagerly awaiting, this song is great, greta's voice perfectly colpiments forgive durden's Thomas Dutton, it's somber and heavy with orchestra but while you'd expect this to get cluttered or be a contradiction the flow of it is really romantic and gorgeous to the ears

that was new music for the week of 10.24.08, it's not a perfect formula, but take a listen and tell me what you think
