A day late as I didn't get back from a weekend of surfing until yesterday afternoon and it was fair to say every inch of my body had been destroyed by the waves.
Kanye West Ft Bon Iver - Lost In The World
The first pairing of these two was on Monster, although it could be fair to say that Bon Iver got slightly lost beneath the orgy of artists on that track. However now it's just the two of them. It's brave, for the both of them. Although it works. Kanye of course, decided to use Bon Iver's only auto-tuned track, Woods and added his own influence to the track. Give it a chance.
Alexisonfire - Dog's Blood
After completely rinsing their back catalogue and newest album, Young Cardinals, over the past few months it is nice to have something new from the Canadians. This is the title track from their forthcoming EP, and I like it, a lot. There's only live versions at the moment, so a recorded version will need to be given a chance too. From the first few listens it sounds like they're going back a stage to their slightly more post-hardcore roots, but using continuing brilliance of Dallas' voice to full effect. Very, very nice.
Kid Cudi Ft Cage - Maniac
Hopefully this video stays up. This is my favourite track that I have heard from MOTM2. You get Cudi's familiar stoned, yet articulate ramblings over a lovely, steady beat, accompanied by a female voice.
Kings Of Leon - Pyro
Another gorgeous track from the new album. And yes the style is going backwards, only a good thing.

Music Monday 22.
Kings of Leon - The Immortals
It looks like The Immortals will "the slow song" off of new album Come Around Sundown, and yet another sign that they might be sneaking back to the old stuff with their new found fanbase. It's a lovely track, not the best or most beautiful that they have produced, but still a nice listen.
Ray Davies & Mumford & Sons - Days/This Time Tomorrow
This is lovely combination of Mumford & Sons with Ray Davies, aka The Kinks' frontman. The Mumford boys are offering this controbution to Davies' new solo album, and the combination is simply wonderful. It's nice to hear something a bit new from M&S after listening to Sigh No More a million and one times. Also check out their trip to India and the EP they released with Laura Marling and the Dharohar Project, it's weird but very wonderful, with an excellent documentary of the trip on Youtube.
Chiddy Bang - The Good Life
Chiddy Bang's new album The Preview leaked this week, and although there's some great new tracks on it, see above. But there's a good few tracks off of The Swelly Express, on what is a relatively short album. The new tracks are good, but really don't live upto the genius of Truth or Opposite of Kids.
Kanye's Corner
Kanye West ft. Jay-Z, RZA, Pusha T, Swizz Beatz & Cyhi The Prynce - So Appalled
Kanye West ft Kid Cudi, Pusha T, John Legend, Lloyd Banks & Ryan Leslie - Christian Dior Denim Flow
No-one quite knows if Kanye has finished with his GOOD Friday phase of giving away a free track every Friday, each one with more artists on it than before, but as I said before, I don't think anyone is complaining. Head to Kanye's website to download them all for free. Let's just hope he lets all these rappers have some time to produce their own stuff, especially Kid Cudi.

Music Tuesday 19
Tardiness due to Bestival. Apologies. But I'm not that sorry, I had a bloody brilliant time. But to make it up to you there's a big mixed bag of music for your pretty ears.
Kanye West ft. Kid Cudi, Common, Pusha T, Big Sean and Charlie Wilson - Good Friday
Followers of the blog will know that a combination of Kanye and Cudi was always going to be up on here. A group bigger than a basketball team have gone into this track, causing it to push the boundary of too many voices, but of course Kanye makes it work. Kanye seems to be churning out a hit on a weekly basis at the moment and sure as hell no one is complaining. Bring on the album.
Kings Of Leon - Radioactive
The mere fact that it appears to be impossible to find an embeddable video for the new single says much about the position that KOL find themselves in today. After the hugely successful Only By The Night album, the band have found themselves very much in the mainstream and progressing away from the old sound of the first three albums. Not that I didn't like OBTN, it just seems a shame to stray away from their original, great sound. Radioactive instantly strikes as a mix of new and old KOL, likely to alienate new "fans", but it's a good song showing the ability to provide a big chorus with solid riffs and rhythms.
We Are The Ocean - Lucky Ones
As WATO prepare to release their debut album in a deluxe edition with the much loved EP and 4 new tracks (of which this is one) it feels as though they are clearly pushing for the mainstream with this track. Not that I hate it, but I'm certainly not a massive fan. The "woahs" and lack of Dan's screams make it much more accessible for new fans and gives it the sing-along factor. Another new track Playing With My Heart, feels much closer to home, yet you can tell the band is progressing and maturing, so there still is hope for old WATO fans.
Jakwob - Here With Me
Jakwob is mainly known for his remixes, particularly of Ellie Goulding, however this track produced on his lonesome, really is something special. The song combines dub beats, the wobbles of the bass, subtle vocals and simple synth beats perfect for the lull in the club. Apart from adding it's an equally gorgeous video, there's not much to add about this track. It's just a bit perfect.
Benjamin Francis Leftwich - Atlas Hands
Apologies for the lack of visuals for this song but I couldn't not post this song. I caught the end of the track and instantly had to scribble down his name. A beautiful voice, cute lyrics and simple strums combine to create a simply gorgeous track. Just enjoy.
