Mark Ronson – Circuit Breaker
S.o.S. – All My Love (Feat. Rob Acosta and S Dot Tress) info
yep… we know what your thinking – S.o.S?? really? but truth be told, “Save Our Sound” has a good tune back it up. check it..
“his name alone sets the tone for who he is, what he does and the magnitude of his skill set. super-producer xavier “zaytoven” dotson copped his name from the german composer and pianist ludwig van beethoven because of the many similarities the two musicians share. both were born in germany, both mastered the organ and piano at a young age, both boast a genuine interest in music and most notably possessed the same good foresight to align themselves with the key people who could help further their careers. for beethoven it was the dignitaries of vienna, for zaytoven it was gucci mane, king of the streets of east atlanta.”
so tonight’s idol mentor/theme is “songs from jamie foxx movies”, 1) WTF 2) who’s doing the “booty call” soundtrack. that led me to googling the foxx man’s filmography….seriously, 2004, jamie foxx, maybe the all-time best year for anyone ever. not only did dude release films for which he would win an oscar (“ray”), a second oscar nom (“collateral”), and three golden golbe nominations (“ray” (won), “collateral”, “tookie williams story”, in that year jamie was featured on 2 #1 singles (“slow jamz” & “gold digger”)! for real…. holy shit! i can’t recall anyone even coming close to a year or even two/three years like that. maybe cher in the mid to late 80’s? sinatra? not madonna or elvis. yes jamie foxx in the same discussion as/superseding cher, sinatra, elvis, madonna. total mindblower.
newly minted “hottest record in the world” on the zane lowe programme last eve. “xxxo” is the first official single off m.i.a.’s new jam record. shouts to our hood fam @ skoa on the track.
we love the dead weather. the band’s new LP “sea of cowards” (out tomorrow muthafuckas!) boasts banger after banger after banger. this is rock and roll, kids. “blue blood blues” and “the difference between us” are two of our favorite cuts off the record. so stream those suckers, then get into it, then buy “sea of cowards” tomorrow, then $$$$$.
rawse hooks up with fat dude and jeezy man to form arguably the most overweight trio in hip hop history. beat is as clean as alexander mcqueen in a casket. go.
“Somebody New” is the new single previewed from The Amplifetes self-titled LP expected June 24th. GARAGE POP.. ELECTRO… PUNK… it’s true, these Swedes have got something for everyone!!! what else do you need to get your dance ON this friday night?!
