Mali Music - No Fun Alone (Audio)

The 30-second commercial is a lot to wait through, I know. I know.

Listen to this anyway.
It's got a little taste of Xxplosive that cools this track out like sour cream, but the message is about as raw and clear as it gets.

Let them eat cake!

It starts out amazing, but at 1:50 drops out of slow motion to really close the deal on the hilarity.

Atmosphere - Camera Thief (Official Video)

I could listen to that 'wa wa wa' sound looping (starts at 0:23) for days. I love them for releasing the instrumentals of the whole album.

I haven't seen many Atmosphere videos, so I can't say how it ranks, but the slow motion makes me think of silly things. You'll see about that tomorrow.

Cool Calm Pete - Wishes and Luck

Laid-back raps from 2005. Has an MF DOOM feel with the some of the references, but much easier on the ears. Nice piano loop going throughout the whole track.

Chromeo - Fall Back to You

Amazing things about this song:
  • The 'Clap' 
  • The 'Clap Clap' 
  • The pause after the line 'I can't stand to be in a relationship when it stops' 
  • The sax solo from 2:51 to 3:05
  • The vocoder from 3:07 to 3:40
  • The outro includes the word 'attenuate' 
  • The funkiness throughout the whole song!

The Roots -- ...and then you shoot your cousin ( Full 2014)

I was gonna say listen to 'Never' which starts at about 1:25, but you should be able to listen to a little Nina Simone for a minute beforehand... Plus maybe you'll just listen to the whole album this way.
