stream: mansions on the moon – lightyears (2012)

15 02 2012

the pharrell produced trio engages in their typical fare of fusing elements of electronic music, pop, r&b and hip-hop to create a new EP, entitled lightyears, which is available now on most digital retailers. but common sense kicks in for some, as the group have put the entire EP up on soundcloud for your streaming pleasure, in case you need a convincing.

ace enders – share with everyone ep (2012)

20 01 2012

i swear, this man’s voice and music will never, ever get the slightest bit old. ace enders (of the early november fame, amongst other projects) has released a new three-song ep via bandcamp for the price of your choosing. the best thing i’m hearing in these stripped down tracks is ace really exorcizing his vocal range, which can in no way be a bad thing. pick a price and pick up the ep below. please make music forever, ace.

video: childish gambino – live in houston, texas (2011)

4 05 2011

these are all my videos. i was drunk and the camera’s new, so pardon anytime my hand covers the mic. it doesn’t mute it or anything and it sounds fine, but i figured i’ll critique myself before one of you unappreciative assholes says something. up top is “my shine” and below the jump you’ll find “rolling in the deep,” “i be on that” and “let me dope you.”

free ep: jett i mastyr – relationshit [instrumentals + samples] (2011)

19 04 2011

not too long ago on valentines day, houston emcee hasHBrown dropped an EP by the name of relationshit, which has since gone on to get a lot of local praise, me included. and for those who aren’t aware of hash’s capabilities, you’ll be glad to know that he’s also a full-time producer, and this ep was one of his finest works to date. here we have the instrumentals + samples release, a staple for any up and coming hip-hop artist who’s too lazy to make beats and wants to write some shit for a mixtape. either way, grab this release, and most especially relationshit if you haven’t already.

tracklist after the jump.

video: mantis – dreamer (2011)

29 03 2011

danny ocean of evesborough films and nick greer/the mantis crew link up for another music video from the dreamer ep. this time, the title track (despite being a notch above 2 minutes) gets a visual that will knock you on your ass and take you back to the glory days of wrestling. what i’d give to see a “hardcore” match like the original tables, ladders and chairs match with the dudley boys, hardy boys and edge & christian. did i just bring back some awesome memories or what?!

mantis’ dreamers EP can be purchased on iTunes now. support that houston ish, yall.

album review: glassjaw – our color green EP (2011)

4 01 2011

well – back to work, right? what’s most surprising is that a 5 song EP from glassjaw managed to have a bigger word count than most reviews i’ve written, which average anywhere from 400 to 500. even more notable, this is my first review for an EP – ever. even in college. it’s all good, though. here’s to the first of many reviews in ’11.

glassjaw’s back, and that’s pretty much the best thing ever.

glassjaw – our color green; the singles (2011)

1 01 2011

EDIT: bringing this back up because it’s true, and you can now buy the EP. happy new year, playas.

well, ok then. i realized that the release of all those 7” singles were leading up to something. however, i could honestly say that i wasn’t expecting an “all in one” release of the aforementioned singles. worship and tribute came out in 02, gentleman. releasing one single every month for the past five and then banding them together as an EP EIGHT YEARS LATER does not fucking count.

this band is so frustrating. sad thing is, i’ll probably buy it. and really? tracks in alphabetical order?! hilarious.

tracklisting:

1. all good junkies go to heaven
2. jesus glue
3. natural born farmer
4. stars
5. you think you’re john fucking lennon

preorder here. drops new years day, unless amazon is in on the joke, too.
