Epic Mash: Hov and Coldplay

I loved the Lost Remix with Hov, but Mick Boggie's mash of Hov and Coldplay is kinda ahhh-mazing. I know it's mad old, but I just heard about it today. It's pleasing to my ears and makes my heart flutter with excitement. If you didn't already now from previous posts, I love mash ups. I love when two or more talented artists are intertwined to make epicness or eargasmic music. There are 20 tracks on Viva La Hova that aren't just from Coldplay's Viva La Vida or just one Hov CD. I personally love "Reverse Fix," "Never Changing," "Life of Clocks," and "X-Y-Z." I must say that I don't like the woman's voice that's interrupting some of the great lyrics and tunes.
If you don't have this album download it now. Here's a link for the torrent.

Song of the Day: "Lost" Remix

Sorry for the absence, but it was quality family time. So I thought I'd have to pick a great song for a come back. I picked Coldplay's "Lost" Remix because it's a good song by itself and then Jay-Z added a great verse to it. I love the drums in the background and then the guitar is brilliant. My favorite part of the remix is:

See Biggie, see Pac, see success and its outcome
See Jesus, see Judas
See Caesar, see Brutus, see success is like suicide
Suicide, it's a suicide
If you succeed, prepare to be crucified

And if you haven't gotten their free live cd from their website click on the link and you can get it. It's good stuff. http://coldplay.com/newsdetail.php?id=395

Song of the Day:"Green Eyes"

This song is definitely about me, c'mon. (I have green eyes) Enjoy some good ole Coldplay.

Coldplay News

Damn I wish you could actually read that. But it says that Coldplay will be giving out a free cd to every concert they have and then on May 15 other fans will be able to download it on their website for free. All the tracks are live versions. If you want to read the actual thing and see the artwork go here.

There is Other Music Than Hip-Hop

So I was talking to my brother and he said that this blog is too hip-hoppy and I can definitely see that. So I'm going to take this time to post something that's definitely not hip-hop related. I don't know what it is, but I think hip-hop gets more press than any other genre and that's just not fair. If you guys can tell me where I can find news about other genres that would be great. I want to get back into alternative, folksy, and other music. Give me some new music like DMB (I do know for a fact they will be coming about with a new album sometime so that's good news), Coldplay, Ben Harper, etc...

My lovely roommate did introduce me to this new singer the other day and I do have to say he is pretty darn good.

 His name is Justin Nozuka and he kinda sounds like Jason Mraz at times. Hopefully that doesn't turn you off because you should give him a chance. Watch his video for "After Tonight" on youtube.
