The Chuckness

My favorite remix of the past 24 hours comes in the form of this No Pets Allowed re-work of “Heartbeat”. Jimbo discovered this last night, and I’m gonna go ahead and beat him to the punch with the post. The original has somewhat of a dubstep-influenced beat, so doing a remix like this doesn’t come off as drastic or unnecessary. Additionally, the womp womp womps aren’t overwhelming or out of control by any means — rather they’re melodic and play off of the original song perfectly. Check it out for yourselves below, and pick up Camp if you’re still missing … Continue reading →

Rebecca and Fiona, I like what you’re doing here. As usual, I’m into the whole “We’re Swedish and we make no-nonsense, captivating electro-pop jams” vibe that your country seems to live by. I’m a full supporter. After performing a little non-creepy Google image search on you two, and ripping through your latest album on Spotify, I think we have the potential to be best friends. Let me know if you feel the same. Love, Chuck [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Download: Rebecca & Fiona – Dance Shout out to Hypem. Tweet

Jimbo initially brought this to my attention the other day, and for good reason. Hilltop Hoods are an Australian hip-hop trio coming out of Adelaide, South Australia. For the first single off of their upcoming sixth studio album, they’ve recruited some help from fellow Aussie babe Sia. Her painfully catchy chorus, along with the top notch production, is what separates “I Love It” from the competition. I mean — I don’t think there’s that much competition in the Australian hip-hop market, but I could be wrong (if I am, hit me with another recommendation). Regardless, this is a jam and … Continue reading →

Lately, at every stop on their tour, Kanye & Jay-Z have been performing “N*ggas In Paris” an obnoxious amount of times. We’re talking 5 times in Miami, 6 times in Boston, and 7 times in Detroit. For no particular reason. Tonight they stopped by the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show to do…one rendition. Semi-hysterical to see models and fashion big-wigs go gorillas to this. Watch The Cradle.

So yeah, this happened yesterday. On Monday 28th November Nokia Lumia 800 with Windows phonehttp://nokia.ly/uBVXxw brought deadmau5 and the world’s most advanced 4D technology together and created an amazing free light show at Millbank Tower, London. Millbank was plunged into darkness with the iconic tower acting as the canvas for a never-before-seen spectacular. Each of the 120 metre high building’s 800 windows were covered with vinyl as 16 powerful projectors, stationed 300 metres away on the other side of the river, beamed 3D images onto the structure. Huge butterflies flew across the London skyline and the tower was twisted, pulsated and … Continue reading →

NPR gets everything! Growing up, I always thought that the station was meant strictly for senile, boring, cardboard-esque old men. Nowadays they’re premiering exclusive album streams of heavily hyped projects (a la Childish Gambino’s Camp). I dig the new branding effort. Anyways, hit The Roots’ new album undun in it’s entirety via this link, and let me know how it is. NPR for the win. Tweet

Love me some behind the scenes footage. If it’s not already sold out in your city, you’re gonna want to jump on tickets as they wrap up their US tour. Tweet

A huge, huge congratulations to the crew over at All Things Go for the announcement of ATG Records today. They’ve been a primo place to go for music of all genres for a bit now, and it’s always refreshing to see fellow music bloggers expanding and moving on to bigger and better things. Their inaugural release comes in the form of Nicky Blitz’s “Alive”, and it’d be tough to pick a better track to open with. The production and vocals (all handled by Mr. Blitz) bring back childhood memories of Saturday soccer and dominating orange slices at halftime. I don’t … Continue reading →

I gotta take a seat for this one. Bon Iver’s music itself sends you to another world, but the addition of trippy visuals makes this an out of body experience. It’s like a visualizer that’s perfectly crafted to fit his music. Just hit the “next track” icon in the menu bar of the YouTube video above to cycle through the songs/videos. Stoners everywhere rejoice. Tweet

Here’s a new cut from The Roots’ upcoming album undun, which is slated to drop a week from today on December 6th. Have they ever disappointed with a commercial release? The answer’s no.
