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.
