Pretty Lights Music label churns out some great “glitch hop” music. With such great artists as Supervision, Michal Menert and this track from Break Science which adds hiphop elements above some great beats, I see a great future for the label and the genre. Oh and just as an added bonus, a lot of music they release is free, with optional donations. That’s a label that gets it.
Jack White has a new album out called Blunderbuss, surprisingly its available on Spotify (as opposed to most White Stripes and The Racounteurs that only have very limited availability). Give it a listen, its quite nice.
Hes also touring with 2 backing bands, 1 all girl ensemble for more folk/country songs and an all dude band for more of the rocky hits. I honestly think Jack over did it this time, especially since his fame comes from the 2 man show, it feels like overcompensation and definitely not needed in most cases. For more the girl band portion, I like it more than the guys.
Band of Skulls first single off their sophomore release. Its bitchin’. Get the whole album at your favorite music consumption source, keeping in mind only this song, sadly, available for streaming. What the fuck is up with that, by the way?
If you got put off by her extremely nervous and unrepresentative performance on SNL, give it a second listen to the version above. You can also see many more examples of her brilliant voice and songs all over youtube.
Blue jeans, White shirt
Walked into the room you know you made my eyes burn
It was like James Dean, for sure
You so fresh to death & sick as ca-cancer
You were sorta punk rock, I grew up on hip hop
But you fit me better than my favorite sweater, and I know
That love is mean, and love hurts
But I still remember that day we met in December, oh baby!
I will love you till the end of time
I would wait a million years
Promise you’ll remember that you’re mine
Baby can you see through the tears?
Love you more
Than those bitches before
Say you’ll remember, oh baby, say you’ll remember
I will love you till the end of time
Big dreams, gangster
Said you had to leave to start your life over
I was like: “no please, stay here,”
We don’t need no money we can make it all work
But he headed out on Sunday, said he’d come home Monday
I stayed up waitin’, anticipatin’ and pacin’ but he was
Chasing paper
“Caught up in the game” that was the last I heard
I will love you till the end of time
I would wait a million years
Promise you’ll remember that you’re mine
Baby can you see through the tears?
Love you more
Than those bitches before
Say you’ll remember, oh baby, say you’ll remember
I will love you till the end of time
You went out every night
And baby that’s alright
I told you that no matter what you did I’d be by your side
Cause Ima ride or die
Whether you fail or fly
Well shit, at least you tried.
But when you walked out that door, a piece of me died
I told you I wanted more-but that not what I had in mind
I just want it like before
We were dancin’ all night
Then they took you away- stole you out of my life
You just need to remember….
Will love you till the end of time
I would wait a million years
Promise you’ll remember that your mine
Baby can you see through the tears?
Love you more
Than those bitches before
Say you’ll remember, oh baby, say you’ll remember
I will love you till the end of time
