Four from Three
I've lost the ability to be anything resembling clever, so here's some songs off of three albums I've been listening to a lot:
Planet Asia and F.L.O. - Mikilikihi (div share)
Buy Planet F.L.O.
After I do my final Mixtape Recovery Project post I'm finally going to do one about all the East Bay rappers I got obsessed with when I lived there years ago (Andre Nickatina/E-40/Keak Da Sneak/Rasco, etc). I averted my gaze when the hyphy shit went down because the get dumb-dumb novelty sunglasses thing was cornier than krumping. I'm a sucker for whispering and finger snapping though - "Vans" still sounds white hot to me. Ok, this song smells hyphy but I like it too:
Planet Asia and F.L.O. - Dem Boyz Go (div share)
Hercules & Love Affair - Raise Me Up (div share)
Buy Hercules and Love Affair
H+LAspace
I used to fall firmly in the "hate Antony Hegarty's voice" camp but lately he's all I want to hear.
The Dodos - Winter (div share)
Buy Visiter
There's a chance I'll be sick of this album in about a month and may never listen to it again. But it was recommended to me as good fall music, and it is.
Wasn't sure I'd ever see the other side of September 2008. I'm ten years older on the inside and look about five years older on the outside, yet oddly enough I'm only about two years wiser.

Tidbitz
I'm covering the dance beat now over at Radio Free Chicago. Haha the 'dance beat,' get it?...I'm sorry.
My favorite song of the day is a Scottie B remix of a song by Chuck Brown, the so-called Godfather of Go-Go. I have a soft-spot for DC go-go even though I don't actually love the music, and Scottie B can do no wrong by me. B'more FOREVAH.
Check it over at Blastercase.
This is the first song I every heard by Scottie B and the woo! yeah!s still make me laugh:
Scottie B and King Tutt - Call Me Al remix

Stay Classy.
I got really excited yesterday when I remembered I'd gotten a ticket to see Cut Copy and the Presets in two weeks. I bought it awhile ago and it's sold out now, apparently. It's just like that time I stuck a twenty in my pocket, and then found it drunkenly a month later after fishing those dirty jeans from some dusty corner of my closet floor and was like heeey, free money! Oh, P.S.: I'm kind of a dirtbag.
The Presets - Are You the One? (Van She rmx) (div share)
Treasure Fingers - Come True Tonight (Dub mx) (div share)
