“New York” by St. Vincent

Here’s a wonderful live performance of the first single from her new album Masseduction. There’s also a bonus performance of second single “Los Ageless” here. Enjoy!

Solange was supposed to have a brass band from a local university perform with her recently, but it didn’t work out. So, here’s what she would have done for “Don’t Touch My Hair” if everything had worked out. Let’s hope it happens for real!

Snoop Dogg - So Many Pros

I went through and painstakingly turned all the “living” movie posters from Snoop Dogg’s “So Many Pros” music video into gifs because I love this video that much (and it’s hard to take all of them in because the video moves so fast). If you’ve never seen the whole thing I’ve linked to it below. Director is Francois Rousselet.

“Because I’m Me” by The Avalanches

Don’t know how I missed this video, but it’s absolutely amazing. This is seriously one of the feel-good songs of the decade. Hands down.

“Everybody Wants To Love You” by Japanese Breakfast

Shouts to my girl @pinkrobotboogaloo for turning me onto this.

You guys know how I’m obsessed with sampling, right? So much so that I have an entire Spotify playlist dedicated to song samples and the songs sampling them. (Say that three times fast). So imagine how much I appreciated this fantastic compilation of Daft Punk’s samples. Check it out

“Show Me Love (Skrillex Remix)” by Hundred Waters

It’s like, I knew about this song, but kept on forgetting I knew about this song. Anyway, this is wonderful, so enjoy!

“Bounce Back” by Big Sean

I can’t stop listening to this song to save my life. Overall, I Decided, or at least the first half is pretty good.
