Lady Sovereign – Pennies

[rating:13/100]

Lady Sovereign   Pennies listenLet’s get this out of the way: I have never been a fan of Lady Sovereign’s music.

That said, however, I still have been able to listen, tolerate, and even enjoy a lot of her stuff. But not “Pennies.” In fact, I had trouble listening to the whole thing through to give it a fair review.

The beats fall flat, the chorus is lame and monotonous (as is the entire song), and the song is devoid of any purpose. I wouldn’t want this blasting at any party (actually, it might work at a bangin’ party, but it would probably annoy the partiers), any arena, in my headphones or from my speakers. In fact, I kind of just wish it would go away.

How many times can she say “How many pennies have you gotten from me?” Well, the answer is a lot of times Continue reading →

The Starters – Girls ‘GO! Hard EP

The Starters   Girls GO! Hard EP mp3

You guys remember the Starts DJs right? Yeah, you remember; they’re some of the freshest cool kids straight out of Chicago. Their debut EP Girls ‘GO Hard features Lykke Li, Kid Sister, Lady Sovereign, and Lady GaGa. I waited until today to post this one because I know a lot of you are looking for some cool party music for your Friday night.

Not only did they just drop a pretty slick EP, but they played with NASA on their Spirit of Apollo Tour on March 7th. That was, without a doubt, an amazing show. These guys know how to put the dancefloor on fire. Read on for the EPs track list, show dates and some downloads: Continue reading →

Lady Sovereign – So Human

Lady Sovereign   So Human listen

So here’s the latest from Lady Sov the net has to offer. “So Human” is the Cure-samplin’, second single off the biggest midget’s upcoming, self released album Jigsaw. There’s always some sort of rigid satisfaction I get when I see talent going out and doing their thing on their — and somehow make it work. And this does work pretty well.

I’m pretty sure the remixes of this are going to be insane. Jigsaw is out April 7th.  Continue reading →

Some Remixes on a Sunday #3

Some Remixes on a Sunday #3 mp3

Continuing this from two Sundays ago.

It’s crazy how many great mixes you can across in a single week. These 10 were my favorite finds of the week. Big thanks to Ohh! Crapp, Fancy Sounds, Sundtrak, HypeM, and probably the biggest shout out goes to the people who send me their mixes!

On the last “Some Remixes on a Sunday” post, I focused a lot on movies. Mostly the films that I wanted to see. Since then, I have seen Frost/Nixon, The Wrestler, The Reader, Defiance, and Happy-Go-Lucky. I’m still DYING to watch Rachel Getting Married. For some reason, something gets in the way of me watching it at the theater whenever I decide to go out and watch it. And the torrent is nowhere to be found, a little less than a month away from the Oscars. It’s driving me nuts! I’m a sucker for contemp dramas — yes, I’m really pissed at the way Revolutionary Road was royally dissed on the Oscar nominations — so if any of your have some sort of Rachel Getting Married hook-up, pass it along,  yeah?

I can’t really talk much, listening to this new Weezy track that’s sort of ridiculous. Weezy doing rock music is definitely not my cup of tea. More about it tomorrow. Till then, here are my favorite mixes of the week! Continue reading →

New Lady Sovereign – I Got You Dancing

New Lady Sovereign   I Got You Dancing listenSeriously? Wow this is so cool. I’ll be honest here, the only Lady Sovereign song I’ve ever listened to was “Love Me or Hate Me” (or something like that), it was pretty forgettable but I do remember that I liked it. But nothing enough to make me want to listen to the rest of her album. I’m pretty sure I didn’t miss much.

Anyway, “I Got You Dancing” is Lady “Biggest Midget In The Game” Sovereign’s new, free, ridiculously danceable single. I also hear that this sophomote album will be released on Sovereign’s barely established record label. Maybe that’s the way you DIY bands should do it — become one-hit wonders, have a flop of a debut album, wait 2-3 years and start your own label. Or go all Radiohead on everyone.

Listen to I Got You Dancing after the jump! Continue reading →
