Red Hot Chili Peppers
A dreamscape melody that’s beauty is only matched by the Chinese actress it was named after. Released on the B side of the “Scar Tissue” single, Gong Li is one of the only songs I know of with the transcending power to turn a crowded subway into a majestic river boat ride.
Red Hot Chili Peppers- Gong Li
Capital Cities
If you find yourself wondering how this electro-pop paradigm has not made it onto your ipod yet, you are probably not alone. If you find yourself rejoicing since you’ve just found the perfect song to replace “A whole new world” for your on-ice electronica rendition of Disney’s Aladdin, you may be alone, but you're certainly not wrong.
Capital Cities- Love away
Fool's Gold
The idea of contemporary Pop and African beats existing in beautiful harmony
sounds about as likely as raisinets atop kettle chips making a delicious snack.
Obviously things aren’t what they seem. . .
Fool's Gold- Surprise Hotel
Brett Dennen
Released in early 2011, Sydney is an instant classic paying homage to the fading folk era of the 1960s. There is clearly a story behind these words, but what that story conveys isn’t quite so clear. I have my interpretation and I’ll leave you to yours.
Brett Dennen- Sydney (I’ll come running)
Slightly Stoopid
The Corona of
music, Slightly Stoopid radiates sunshine and summer with every note. Signed by
Sublime while still in High School, Slightly Stoopid is now left with the
daunting task of filling the void left behind by their mentor. However, their
uncanny ability to flawlessly weave reggae, blues, hip-hop and rock n’ roll
into one album puts them well on their way to not only filling the void, but
redefining the entire depth of dub.
Slightly Stoopid- Collie Man
Hawaiian Noises by Danny Terlizzi
If Brooklyn, NY
slept with the island of Jamaica on a starry, breezy night, under a palm tree, this would
inevitably be the outcome.
Mos Dub- History Town
Mos Dub- Summertime Running
Flight Facilities
The bitter feeling of unreciprocated 'love-lust' is
something we can all relate to. Just remember there is no sweet without bitter
and those butterflies in your stomach will someday turn into beautiful
caterpillars and fly away . . . Shoot that’s not right. What ever, just keep on
lovin as that saxophone slowly begins to wash over you.
Flight Facilities- Crave You ft.Giselle (Version 2)
Nektar
Over-concerned with the future, this rare work of art got lost in time only to
resurface decades later in order to melt your
mind and send shivers down your spine. Take note of the drastic twists and turns and enjoy the ride.
