a post-vacation grab bag


o hai there!

i bailed on reality for a week to go be in a sun-coma, but now i am back and there is music to catch up on. this one's going to be a bit of a grab bag - just whatever's crossed through my ears in the past 4 hours.

producer chi duly played a bit with the ol' time machine, blending early 2000's coldplay and more recent drake to create something that is, hesitantly, greater than the sum of its parts. don't know if i love this yet - i harbour a deep resentment of all things cold and play, but maybe a little production value will redeem them in my heart of hearts. like all good things in life, the album's available for free download here.

holding up thoroughly in the 'don't know how long this one'll last' category is the deans list. my hip-hop game isn't exactly tight these days - too many bearded folk-types gracing my recently added playlist to date - but p'haps this one will help bring me back up to speed. the vocal sample has a way of staying with you. and, oh boy, it's another freebie!

the dean's list - dear professor


finally, mansions on the moon is a production dream team - benzi and diplo combined (a long time ago, i'll admit it) to cobble together the band's 'paradise falls' mixtape, and it flows beautifully. i'd highly reccommend the deadmau5 and junior boys tracks, but this one in particular has been in the back of my head for a week or so now. it won't go away, and i can't say i want it to.

oh, and btdubs, this one's free too. you love me.
