After last night’s shocking finale, Dexter has solidified itself as the best show on television.  I can’t remember a time when a T.V. show threw such a twist at me that it literally made me nauseous.  I couldn’t sleep last night, and I was a mess all day at work today.  The episode was beyond heartbreaking, it was emotionally draining. ***SPOILERS: DON’T READ IF YOU HAVE YET TO WATCH SEASON 4*** We’re now just about 24 hours after the show’s conclusion, and the only thing I can think about is Dexter’s infant son sitting in his mother’s blood in the … Continue reading →

Here is a group that has been around for a long time, but I recently just started listening to them this past summer.  Most of  the music that Nightmares on Wax makes is super chill electro with kind of a jazzy feel to it that will probably go straight on to Chuck’s sleep playlist. You will notice that this first song is the song that Pretty Light’s sampled for his song, “Finally Moving“.  They sound almost exactly the same, with the Pretty Light’s version being a lot more upbeat.  The question is whose version is better?

Let me introduce The Chuckness to a new artist based out of Fort Collins, CO called Pretty Lights.  This guy tours all over the country and I have had the chance to see him twice out here in Boulder.  Pretty Lights has a very unique sound and a couple of tracks that are straight fire.  You can get all 3 of Pretty Light’s cds for free on his website, PrettyLightsMusic.com.  So go check his website and download the music…I mean who can argue with free music.

I found this song the other day on NahRight and almost skipped over it because I always thought Jim Jones was just a one-hit wonder.  This does not seem like the case anymore as this song sounds like an old school Run DMC beat with an epic sample laced on top.  Rev Run puts down a good verse and I hope to see more material like this from Jim Jones on his upcoming mixtape Ghost of Rich Porter.

Mike Posner decided to remix the theme song of Fraggle Rock and post it online last night.  A pretty ridiculous concept, but the song is dope.  No vocals from the Duke University student, just a straight electronica remix.

If there were chains that did this shit Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts would be toast.  I’d pay an extra dollar for a little cream animal on top of my coffee anyday.  Cream pandas, cream donkeys, cream cats, cream dragons…it’s going global.  [Caught it over at Elitaste] Tweet
