Music Monday 56.

Kanye West - Mama's Boyfriend



Remember when Kanye decided to get up on a table at Facebook's HQ and sing? Well that song was Mama's Boyfriend and never actually made it on to MBDTF. Which is all well, because listening to the finished version, it never would have worked. I really harks back to some old-school, College Dropout type stuff, where Kanye's songs are much more autobiographical. You really do never know where Kanye is going next, I love it.

Givers - Up Up Up



Well what a delightful piece of indie pop we have here in our ears. I'm not going to sit here and sit their clear influencers or sound-alikes, it's so negative that new bands are instantly compared to others. It's nice to just enjoy something new and fresh. And sounds don't get much fresher than this.

Diplo & Skrillex - Amplifire




Ok I'll ignore that this track probably has one of the best titles of all-time (a bit Kanye of me there). But I won't ignore the huge DJ Shadow sample at the start and then the ridiculous dub bass beats that follow. I've got a lot of time for these two producers and this shows why.


Going to leave it there this week, I'm not going to post songs for the sake of it, always quality over quantity. Check out all of last week's posts, some cool stuff in there.
