Get ready to get your foot tapping to a constant rhythm and perhaps even a little head nod too. I’m sitting here listening to this song on repeat and loving the gentleness of it but yet it seems uplifting, for which I may owe credit to the beat! Genius!

“Get Me Away From Here, I’m Dying” - Belle & Sebastian

A beauty from Belle & Sebastian. Enjoy!
MUSIC VIDEO: “Cookie Jar” - Gym Class Heroes ft. The-Dream
This is by no means new material, but I had to post it after going back and rewatching it. This is the video that made me fall in love with Travis McCoy (rapper from Gym Class Heroes). Dude just seems crazy fun and looks different every time you see him -whether it’s a new hairdo, a new tat, glasses, or something else…he just lives in the moment it seems. This video though…too funny. This was back a little before the black rimmed glasses look became a big hit in the hip hop scene and I remember telling myself…brother can pull those off! Next thing you know everybody was wearing them. Also noticed some good guest appearances in this video when I went back and watched it again tonight. Like Murs…where’d he come from??? Love it.
“Home” - Edward Sharpe and the Magentic Zeros

Rarely do I ever reblog posts, but I’m liking this song! Thanks Abby!
I especially love the whistling at the beginning

XV comes out with a new smooth rap track called Nevermind. Enjoy! (And sorry for being MIA, I’ve been out of town.)

Kidz in the Hall leak a track off of their EP Professional League Tour, out December 8th. This song, recorded on tour, samples Grizzly Bear’s hit song “Two Weeks.”

Consequence’s song “Whatever U Want” is remixed by the G.O.O.D. Music team (or a large chunk of it, anyway). On the remix: Kanye West, Common, John Legend, Kid Cudi, and Big Sean.

“Humdrum Town” - Theophilus London

Today marks the release of the full track, “Humdrum Town,” by Theophilus London. A preview of this track was on This Charming Mixtape, but here is the whole thing. I couldn’t have been more excited to get this whole track. Theophilus is going over “NASA” by Futurecop! in this song.
As seen in lyrics of the day in the past:
I ain’t doing this for the check or fame, This right here to relieve my pain, Revival of ears that hear the same
MUSIC VIDEO: “I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman” - K-Os ft. Saukrates
One of my favorite K-Os songs comes out with a video! And I love it! I think I had a smile on my face the whole time…the Western style got me laughing and I found myself thinking the whole time, man these guys just look like fun. Oh and I love the gas pump in the rear part of the car. Classic. K-Os may wish he knew Natalie Portman, but I wish I knew him!
New K-Os Album, Yes!, in stores as of yesterday!
I’ve seen this place before but it’s never been so fun
First 10 minutes of documentary about Lil Wayne called “The Carter.”
Once again, I need to see this. Current thought: Half the time, Weezy’s manager seems about as cracked out as he is.
MUSIC VIDEO: “No Man’s Land” - Bobby Ray
Good video to a song that was already sunset approved.
I try to hold on, on to everything, sweet memories, but that was yesterday

I’m on the pursuit of happiness and I know everything that shines aint always gonna be gold. I’ll be fine once I get it. I’ll be good. - Kid Cudi, “Pursuit of Happiness”
Not to give yall too much insight into my soul, but these were some words it felt great to hear today. Thanks, Cud.
“Dedicated” - Rakim

Oh dear Lord…homeboy samples No Doubt in this one. How could I resist posting this? My sister Emma and I (major credit to my sister, actually…she would definitely win this fight) were major No Doubt fans! In other news, Rakim’s new album, The Seventh Seal, comes out today!

The second single from Vampire Weekend off their upcoming album “Contra.” This one’s called “Cousins.” I must admit, I don’t like it as much as I like “Horchata,” but I can still dig it. It’s a lot faster and sounds more along the lines of their song “A-Punk” off their last album.
