Blog Wars: The Genius Playlist | Round 1, Battle 4

Earlier this week, Ear Farm and The Culture of Me took on Lil Wayne’s “Dr. Carter” in two surprisingly different Genius Playlists. The Culture of Me’s versatile, somewhat alternative (Cool Kids, Beastie Boys, Jurassic 5, Lupe Fiasco, etc) playlist came on top with 60% of the votes! I’m sorry Ear Farm, but the voters have booted you out!

On this fourth battle, we’re pairing up Arjan Writes and Nialler9. This time I’ve ask my friends to create a genius playlist on the most confusing song of 2008: “Human.” I was really excited to see what these two came up with for the Killers’ jam. What didn’t surprise me was that neither of their playlists disappoint. These two lists are the best we’ve seen yet, and the hardest vote so far.

New Kaiser Chiefs – Never Miss a Beat

New Kaiser Chiefs   Never Miss a Beat listen
The Kaiser Chiefs premiered “Never Miss a Beat” — off their new Off With Their Heads – on BBC’s Radio 1 and I’ve got the radio rip for you. For a year now, the Kaiser Chiefs have been playing “Never Miss a Beat” live, establishing it as a crowd favorite. With this first single, the KCs are definitely trying to shake off that ‘pop’ stigma that has followed/haunted them throughout their career.

Wait! There’s more… it seems that the album/single version of this song will be a bit more Mark Ronson-esque. Apparently, “Never Miss a Beat” will be released as a single, officially, on October 6th (available on CD b/w and 7″ vinyl b/w through B-Unique / Polydor), and the official single will feature backing vocals by Lily Allen and New York Pony Club.

THE OWNAGE IS BREAKING MY PLACENTA!!

I heard someone say that today \\ I thought it was insanely HIGHlarious, but if you think about it, it’s kind of gross — BUT it does accurately sum up what this post is all about though. Remember when I used to make these longass posts back in the day? I always thought it was fun chronicling the world of pretty much amazing music in one (not so)quick, pain-free post.

I get tons of emails from people telling me they read PMA at least twice a day — one personal actually said he would refresh the page ever-so-often to make sure he caught every update. SRSLY (yay an HRO word) guyz, that’s really and all, but totally unnecessary. For one, you can just subscribe to the daily email sent @ like 5am or whatever random time I set it send. Alternately, I can make this 18-in-One* posts (*I highly doubt it’s really going to be 18-in-One, that was just a sales pitch). BUT I do have a lot of remixes and semi-newly leaked stuff I’d like to share. As I write this, I am contemplating zipping every MP3 I will post today (I think it’s going to be a lot of MP3s), but that might take too much effort. If you want to download a large .zip file instead of “Right Click, Save As…”-ing every track you might want to listen to/download, leave me a comment and express your need for zipped technology.

Alright enough intro stuff, lets get down to it. I wanted to talk about M.I.A first. Continue reading →
