Pretty Lights- Spilling Over Every Side

The newest EP from Pretty Lights for 2010, Spilling Over Every Side, is now available for download at their website. Haven't had a chance to get a good listen yet, but this one has 6 fresh tracks, each at least 5 minutes long. What Derek Smith had to say about it:

"I really tried to push my style with this EP and explore several different genres, sometimes within the same song.  The songs are long and there are a lot of parts... I guess, because thats what I want to hear... fresh, intricate, beats that attempt to communicate ideas or tell a story somehow."

Bell and Ross Vintage Collection

The Bell and Ross Vintage collection is based on the utilitarian watches used by pilots during the inception (sick movie) of aviation when instrument panels were only written about in sci-fi books. I particularly think the over-sized numbers are a good touch. Obviously they've given the watch band to a puppy to gnaw on, but hey, the economy is tough right now.

Tokyo Police Club- Wait Up (RAC Remix)

This Tokyo Police Club remix by RAC is a great jam for walking to class in the morning.

SHARKZ

So, I was sea kayaking far off the coast of Malibu a few weekends ago and went by a boat and graciously waved hello. The captain of the vessel then looked at me (soaking wet from just dipping in the water) and said "I hope you don't plan on swimming anymore, they have Great White cages out here." I thought he was trying to scare me, so when I got home I decided to look it up. Turns out two UCLA students were eaten right out of their sea kayak a few years back. Perfect. Regardless, these pictures are pretty sick.

Blast From the Past

Eddie Hazel put the Funk in P-funk. This guitar solo rips. Light one up, close your eyes, and kick it back to 1983 with this gem.



Tom Petty is an American Hero, nuff said. Pump this through the system monday morning before work. Also check out the video effects around the 2 min mark..pure comedy.

The Hood Internet- Trillwave

The Hood Internet are some heavy hitters in the mash-up scene. Their newest mash tape goodness comes in the form of Trillwave, which joins together hip-hop, electronic, and indie sounds to create an endless summer jam. Girl Talk is overrated.
