SONG OF THE DAY: Scissor Sisters-”Baby Come Home”
For everyone who needs a lift up this overcast Tuesday afternoon, I present you with Scissor Sisters.
SONG OF THE DAY: Cloud Skatin’ (feat. Danny Brown) – Main Attrakionz
Cloud Skatin (feat. Danny Brown) Main Attrakionz are a duo who’ve been the forerunners in the emerging ambient rap scene, mostly stemming from the bay area, but being accelerated by artists like Clams Casino and A$AP Rocky. Taking strong influence from artists like Lil’ B, Main Attrakionz embrace a consciously lo-fi aesthetic and achieve a [...]
SONG OF THE DAY: OverDoz.-”Pasadena”
Happy Saturday. Check out this sweet video by LA hip-hoppers OverDoz. Bringing back some 90s style group work with funky bass tones, there is a reason artists such as A$AP Rocky have been hyping these guys up. Welcome to Blunnitville.

With RHCP bass player Flea and Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke, we really hope this is the first album of many. The first music video, for the single Ingenue, features Yorke in some sweet shoes dancing on stage to some very [...]
SONG OF THE DAY: Jai Paul-”Jasmine”
Jai Paul’s second release, Jasmine, ranks among the best songs of 2012. The steady pulsing bass combined with soft sensual lyrics make for fresh ear candy and leave you wishing Paul had more than just two tracks. This unofficial video features tastefully edited clips from the 1979 Francis Ford Coppola film, Apocalypse Now.
