Not an hour ago, Miss Arulpragasam tweeted this video for all of her eighty-four thousand followers to watch. As you all should know, M.I.A. is wrapping up the Blaqstarr-produced follow-up to 2007’s incredible Kala. Rumor has it that it will be out this summer, so now is about the time to start spreading viral shit around, right? Right. Watch the video, captioned only with “THERES SPACE FOR OL DAT I SEE” below: Continue reading →
The first time is the hardest, or so they say. While this might not apply to activities you can do while shitfaced drunk (sex, riding a bike, driving, delivering a baby), it DEFINITELY applies to writing for an awesome, successful blog. My name is Dan, and I’ve been word-masturbating (writing a blog with 5 readers) for a while, but now I’m about to have word-sex with all of you, and I’m a little nervous. I’m here to let you know that breaking it down is the SHIT, and to bring you the newest developments and most awesome artists in the “breaking it down” umbrella of musical genres. So! Once a week, you’ll get to read my fucking AWESOME words, in one of 3, that’s right 3, fan-tas-tic formats: Continue reading →
Baltimore DJ/producer/rapper put it upon himself to remix Amanda Blank’s ultra catchy first single, “Might Like You Better.” Unfortunately, Blaqstarr’s remix chops the song’s balls right off.
It’s less dance floor friendly, for sure but it works real nice as a throwback, chillout track.

Despite Dan Black being one of the original 9 or 10 artists I told you all to watch in 2009, he has sort of fallen off my radar, to no fault of his own. I’ve been consumed by other new artists as well as new releases by some of my all-time favorites (YYYs, Phoenix, Animal Collective, Grizzly Bear). I did a quick GMail search a few minutes ago and I managed to squeeze out four Dan Black mp3s that I have not heard yet slash didn’t know existed. Color me scatterbrain.
These four new songs, coupled with the songs already in my iPod, Dan Black has proven to be a powerful force in motion, and it doesn’t look like it will stop until his debut album finally drops –supposedly in June. Catch the new tunes after the jump. Continue reading →
Following the Killers’ fresh leak, there’s another M.I.A. track that hit the internet. “S.U.S. (Save Ur Soul)” is M.I.A.’s and Blaqstarr’s theologically fantastic new single. No word on who’s album this joint will appear on. My gut tells me it’s Blaqstarr’s, but who knows Mama-I.A. is rumored to be hitting the studio like crazy. This is, indeed, M.I.A. featuring Blaqstarr and not the other way around.Â
The song also comes with a $10 Music Video!Â
Can’t you just picture her talking about guns and money and third-world democracies all pregnant-y? I actually wish I went to that Diesel event. I can’t believe I missed my chance to see pregnant M.I.A. perform.
Anyway, check out “S.U.S.” after the jump! Continue reading →
