Songs Of The Day ~ The Arcs

Dan Auerbach is most well known as the lead singer for the Black Keys, but in reality, the uber-talented musician has tons of projects on the go.

The latest one is called 'The Arcs' which is an assortment of some of the musicians Dan likes to jam with.

Earlier this month, they released their debut album, 'Yours, Dreamily'.

It's quirky, it's psychedelic and unbelievably cool.

Here are 2 tracks I currently have on repeat.

Enjoy.

Black Keys and Wu-Tang Clan's RZA ~ New Song Collaboration

The Black Keys and RZA have collaborated on a new song for an upcoming Quentin Tarantino movie. It's called "The Man With The Iron Fists" and yes, it's the BEST genre of movie... KUNG-FU! HECK YEAH!!!!!
It's movie trailer time....




That's right, they put the F-U in Kung-Fu. The movie hits theaters in early November.


Now about that new collaboration....
The song is called 'The Baddest Man Alive'.



Enjoy!

*Songs Of The Week*

Good Stuff.

Mike Snow ~ Sylvia - Cause they're so much more than just the song 'Animal'.


Neon Indian ~ Polish Girl  - This is the song that makes all the Polish girls run out on the dance floor and scream. It's their equivalent of 'Brown Eyed Girl'. Jk ;)


 Modest Mouse ~ Float On


The Black Keys ~ Little Black Submarines - Cool.



Kings Of Leon ~ The Face - A tune that Caleb wrote for his (now) wife (and Victorias Secret model), Lily Aldridge. A song about wanting to stick together, tough it out, and "ride out the wave" of their careers together. *Love*


Enjoy!

Favourite Albums Of 2010

It's tough to narrow down my list for the best albums of 2010, but I think I've got it down.

Here goes (don't judge!) in no particular order:

God Willin' & The Creek Don't Rise ~ Ray LaMontagne & The Pariah Dogs (Mind Blowing)

The Black Keys ~ Brothers (Ditto)

Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty ~ Big Boi (I miss OutKast. Seriously)

Body Talk ~ Robyn

Thank Me Later ~ Drake

The Suburbs ~ Arcade Fire

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy ~ Kanye West (I don't care that he's an egomaniac. The guy is brilliant.)

The ArchAndroid (Suites II and III) ~ Janelle Monae (Holy crap she's AWESOME!!! She's like a female version of OutKast.)

Sigh No More ~ Mumford & Sons (These guys can make a BANJO sound sexy! I mean..C'MON!!!)

Plastic Beach ~ Gorillaz

The Lady Killer ~ Cee Lo Green (Fuck you!!! And fuck her too!!!)

I could literally go on and on (LCD Soundsystem, Broken Bells, Eminem, Local Natives, Vampire Weekend, Crystal Castles....etc, etc.)

HONOURABLE MENTION: Universal Mind Control ~ Common (**Ok. So I know it came out in 2008, but I didn't really 'discover it' until 2010. Better late than never!**)

You should definitely check out any or all of these albums, if you haven't already. Please feel free to suggest any albums that I should be getting into.

Alright. Bedtime. Peace out.

P.S: I'm kinda proud of myself that I finally updated my blog. Pathetic, but true...
