Lets Have Some Fun

I would like to dedicate this post to having fun. Since that's the theme/goal, I'm going to try to post only stuff that sounds and feels like it was created with having fun in mind.

But to really bring up something that hinders fun... random back-itch attacks. What the hell is the deal there? I'd say that about once a week i'll get the gnarliest back-itch that is of course in the spot that is unreachable without a pen or stick or something. I need another one of these. Just got hit with one of those. Craze.

But anyway... Jolly Ranchers... you done fucked up. I buy a bag and find that my mouth is craving the lemons more than any other flavor. You shoulda got rid of watermelon. Nobody digs watermelon jolly ranchers. I know many a folk that liked the lemon. Bummed.

Now to have fun.

We'll start with Chub Rock. Love this jam:




Heads Will Roll - Sam Adams

This is some beantown kid remixing the YYY's track and not doing a bad job. Fantastic party jam but the rapping leaves a little to be desired. Whatever, kid's gettin goofy and probably having a good time doing it.



Daisy - Fang Island

Everyone is posting this and I am too. Cause I know I won't get in trouble since there are probably 15 other links from the hm. This is a fun band. Nick played me some of their stuff the other night and I immediately liked it. It's kinda like if Animal Collective grew up listening to pop-punk and had those catchy riffs running through their system.



Pony Pony Run Run is the next Phoenix. There, I said it. Here's their sad music video and then a fun remix of their second single.

Pony Pony Run Run - Walking on a line from SoLab on Vimeo.



To be honest, there are about 3 remixes that I downloaded of this that suck. Sad really. I don't understand the trend that you need to have unnaturals thrown all throughout the song. It creates tension and that's not what I want to hear in dance music. But this one is pretty good. For a mellower vibe, check out the Lifelike extended remix. I like that one alot.

Walking On A Line ((BeatauCue Remix) - Pony Pony Run Run



Got Da Groove (feat. Gucci Mane) - Rusko

This is hilarious. I couldn't believe it the first time I heard it. Rusko comes in with a dubby-grungy beat and Gucci Mane drops another goofy flow. Then there is a chromeo-like chorus that makes it just weird. I love it.



Tell 'Em Rye Rye Said Bang (Mover Shaker Remix) - Sleigh Bells vs. Rye Rye

I loved Bang when it came out so this was a kind of song renewal in my mind. Sleigh Bells are blowing up with their noisy noise pop (Colin likes em). And I don't think I need to say anything about Rye Rye. She and Diplo are tight. The song is the best of both worlds. And is fun. Real fun.



Hope everyone enjoys those. I don't really want to use mediafire anymore since it is a haven for pop-ups and i don't like those. I'm trying fileden. Hopefully that'll be better. Also, I think i can hotlink (so you can download with just a right click on the file name)
