Slakah the Beatchild – Enjoy Ya Self V2 (Feat. Drake)

drake

a vid for “enjoy ya self v2” off slakah the beatchild’s “soul movement vol 1” LP surfaced in the last couple weeks. the vid itself is cool. but damn, what a dope song. the track goes deep, from the great vocal harmonies and cool drum mix/rhythmic elements to drake, where has this drake been? like it. anyway, somehow we’d slept on this one. while we get on our best rise and shine shit, you should do like the song says (version 2).

Jay Electronica – A Million In The Morning

jay-electronica3

“A Million In the Morning” is new from Jay Electronica! the track is inspired by, and is the theme song, to the original motion picture of the same name, which is about some dudes trying to beat the World Record of going 123 hours without sleep. i could never do that.

Everest – Let Go

everest1

“Let Go” is the new single previewed here from Los Angeles collective Everest. their forthcoming sophomore record, On Approach, will be available everywhere May 11th via Vapor/Atlantic. OR if you are lucky, you still may be able to get your hands on one of the 7″ singles left over from Record Store Day.

Everest have toured with the likes of Neil Young, Wilco, and My Morning Jacket, and hit the road again today with Minus the Bear, concluding with sets at Bonnaroo and KCRW. be sure to catch them! to sum it up, “Let Go” is a great song that has words like HIT and SUMMER JAM written all over it. and if you don’t have this track stuck in your head the rest of the day after just three listens (and can prove it), then you have just earned $1.00, courtesy of b3science. deal?

IN THE MIX (RECORD STORE DAY): Blur, The Rolling Stones…GET INTO IT!!

fat-cat1

big day today folks. Record Store Day is in full swing, and dammit we were patient so now it’s time to indulge. some may call us fat-asses and gluttons when it comes to music. and we might agree. anyway here’s a few, more to come..

Blur – Fool’s Day (Rip)
myspace
don’t be like fur ball, get off your ass and buy the 7″
if you’re like us, then you’ve been waiting for waaaayyy too long for some new Blur. “Fool’s Day” delivers. Damon “Chameleon” Albarn and the boys school us all once again with nothing short of another classic track. there’s no way a new record can’t be in the works… please? do yourself a favor and watch this.

The Rolling Stones – Plundered My Soul
myspace
we all know the Stones got a shit-ton of $$$, but dudes earned it. buy Exile!
fucking love the Stones. I wish there was a rock and roll band from my generation like these guys. 1. who will I want to still watch rock-out when i’m in my sixties? 2. what band will actually have 10 additional “never-before-heard” tracks from one of my favorite albums, a truly epic record, from 40 years prior? time will tell. 2012 still won’t stop the Stones, can you imagine?
