Kennedy

For those of you who know Jack Beil, this musician sounds like a sick love child between Jack and Mickey Avalon.  Kennedy (appropriately his first name is Jack) is straight outta Thousand Oaks and has been on the scene since 1999.  Common themes in his music are drinking cheap wine, popping prescription pills, having copious amounts of sex, and karate.

Fun fact:  Jack Kennedy was formerly the guitarist for the Silversun Pickups.  Good on ya for leaving!  Otherwise we wouldn't have tasty licks like K.E.N.N.E.D.Y. and Karate.  Enjoy!

The Hood Internet - USHER vs SANTIGOLD

The Hood Internet is always coming through with some fresh mash-ups. They may not be the only masters of the mash-up game, but they're still killing it for sure. Coming through were their typical Chi-town style ABX and STV SLV are still going strong producing singles and mix-tapes alike. They recently released their sixth full length mix-tape that is sure to entertain with some killer tracks on it, featured below. Also, if you want to check out THI for yourself you can find their complete works on thehoodinternet.com. You can also download the separated track version from their website.

Drake feat. The Weeknd - Crew Love (Love Thy Brother Remix)

This song has been a fav of mine for a minute now. I decided that now I am back in the posting game I need to get this track out there. Especially for those of you who haven't heard it. The Weeknd and Drake brought their Toronto brotherhood together to create this track, which is pretty solid. However, Love Thy Brother took this track to the next level and gave it a more poppy feel that is a lot more fun than the original.




For those of you who don't know who The Weeknd is, get ta know. He's an rapper/r&b singer based out of Toronto. He has been blowing up the underground scene lately with all his music for free at http://the-weeknd.com/. Here's a lil somethin to introduce you.

Punks Jump Up feat Dave1 - Mr. Overtime (Gigamesh Remix)

This track is AWESOME! I have been missing out on some good 80's electrofunk tracks and this is exactly what the dr. ordered. Punks Jump Up has teamed up with Chromeo's Dave1 to produce a great track, which was taken to the next level by Gigamesh. Giga really hits home with the synthed-out funk that helped him make a name for himself with Mike Posner's track cooler than me. He has clearly taken him style to new levels and hopefully we can get a few more summer bangers outta him in the coming months.

Trails and Ways - Nunca

Coming straight outta Oakland is the band Trails and Ways. They were formed back in summer 2011 and are self described as bossanova dream pop. It may be a hard genre to imagine, but just pop this track on for a little musical education. The track has a nice summer feel that is perfect for the upcoming beach filled activities that I have planned for the summer. If you're looking for a lil somethin to take your mind of the daily grind I highly recommend this track.

Ibrahim Ferrer - Ay Candela (Henry Krinkle Refix)

 It's been a long time since I last posted on here. This was mainly due to Czech bureaucracy and..... pure laziness. More importantly, I'm back and with some new beats. I had a great Easter weekend over here in the Czech Rep. It started off by rented a car for the weekend and headed out to some spa towns for some much needed R&R. First stop: Marianske Lazne. A cool little town known for it's shitty tasting water with curative effects.


After Marianske Lazne, we were in our way to Frantiskovy Lazne for some of that water you can actually dip your toes in, but we got a little sidetracked in Cheb. We found a little place off the highway that had go-carts...... So obviously we had to stop. This track was home to the Czceh boarder champion Micheal Schumacher.

After seeing Mike destroy the track at speeds up to 40 mph, we were ready to go. Not even the freezing temperatures and random snow flurries could stop us. The go-carting was amazing, even though I totally let down my mentor Mike by getting lapped. With our hands and faces frozen we decided it was time to finally make our way to Frantiskovy Lazne.

Frantiskovy Lazne is a awesome little spa towns that were Beethoven used to live back in the day. After my visit there I could see why. The city is a well preserved gem that has some amazing architecture, not to mention a putt-putt golf course.


After relaxing in the spa and cutting elementary school kids in the line for the water slide, it was time to head home. Finally, to put the cherry on top we went out for some burgers and beers to end the day. It was a much needed adventure and escape from the city. It also made me remember how good it is to cruise around with friends listening to some tunes, which re-inspired me get back up to date with the blog.  So here are some freshies to start it off.


Madi Diaz – Trust Fall (Jensen Sportag Remix)

Kanye West - Theraflu

This song blew up real quick. If you haven't heard it yet hear it here first! DJ Khaled kind of reminds me of the old school DJ's who just shout shit out like "yea!" or "get 'em up!" or "skeet skeet skeet!"

Everlasting Bass

Bass so hard it will knock the skin off your face.

Metronomy

Before we get into the music you might want to check out David Choe's artwork (as seen above). He's getting a lot of buzz lately after his Facebook stock was valued at $200 million. Apparently he painted one of the hallways in Facebook's old office and instead of being paid in money they offered him stock. I heard this guy on a Howard Stern interview and he is wild. You can hear the interview on YouTube (this link takes you to part 1, there are 6 parts).

On to the music! Metronomy is a band from the other side of the pond. I can't tell if they're being serious in their music videos or if this is just British humo(u)r; either way I think the video below is hilarious. These guys also try their hand in remixes. You can see a list of the songs they've remixed here.

Caged Animals -All The Beautiful Things In The World

This song and video are amazing, Super chilled out. When I listen to this track i float away and don't even know what Im thinking about. Im looking forward to finding more amazing track by these guys. have fun watching these chicks run around naked.
