Sex Appeal]]>

 

 

This track is super smooth. It is a little tough to categorize so perhaps I’ll let Miguel’s description speak for itself. He says his music is “fly, funkadelic, intergalactic-hip-hop-meets-sexy-orgasmic crazy, dope shit.”  At least on this song I have to agree. Check out the video too.

Teo is a sophomore at CC. He has a radio show every Tuesday 7-9pm, it’s got all sorts of stuff. Check it out.

The band was very influenced by 60s Radical architecture and design (hence the album art) as well as the realities of the modern and super-modern age.]]>

Synthetica is Metric’s fifth studio album and will be released on June 12 on the band’s own label.  Justin Broadband created the precise and disorienting images for the album artwork.

Wait! you say. Schoolhouse Rock? Learning and fun? Good music that also teaches you your six times table?  I say Yes, yes, and yes.  Travel back in time with me to an era saturday morning cartoons did more than try to sell merchandise.

Utilizing a looping pedal, he creates multiple beats, guitar and base lines, and backup vocals to support whatever he's doing at the time. Check it out if you're into cool things.]]>

The techno beats and subtle pauses layered over the ever-present bass will have you hooked. This particular intro sounds like bricks being sauteed with butter in a hot pan and the entire song is in fact a delicious treat for the ears— enjoy. If you like this check out the original beat by Shlohmo from the 'Vacation' EP.]]>
