Wednesday?? I know, I'm sorry. I've been in London the last few days, mainly to see City and Colour (more of that is to come later), so this is the first chance I've had to catch up. But never fear, it is definitely worth the wait.
Skrillex - Slats Slats Slats
Straight in there, this is how to start off this week's post: some electro-dub dance from DJ Skrillex. I've literally had this tune on repeat all week. I love the rhythms, the contrast of dub and trance horns, the way it bounces around all of the place. It's just so perfect for summer, just imagine this with some cider and sun. See?
Lower Than Atlantis - Motorway of Life
And whilst the tempo's high, Lower Than Atlantis. It's rare for a band in this genre to sound this good live, trust me I've seen of them, and with another track from their new album it only makes me want to see them more. It's nothing boundary stretching, but sometimes it's good to sit in the familiar.
Tom Vek - A Chore
Yeah Tom Vek is back, pretty much from out of the blue. It's a great comeback single coupled with a cool video. Just enjoy, the man is back.
Frank Ocean - Swim
If you know Odd Future, then you'll probably know of Tyler, Hodgy Beats and Earl, but here's the latest talent to emerge from the gang, Frank Ocean. Have a listen. Yes he really is in Odd Future, I know. It doesn't really make sense, this is so not OF, but it really shows the diversity and talent this group has in there, which will only continue their destruction and dominance of the music industry.

Music Monday 36.
I'm cramming this into my lunch break, along with cooking a bacon sandwich, so apologies if it appears a little rushed.
James Blake - The Wilhelm Scream
I read earlier this week that not winning and coming runner up in the Sound of 2011 competition may have been the best thing to happen to Mr Blake. Everyone now knows of the artist that has been lingering in the shadows for sometime now, yet there is not the pressure to please. At least in a commercial sense. Now I'm not saying his music doesn't please, far from it, he can now make music he wants to make, and not to sell records. And thank God. Now we get to hear just plain and simple songs such as this one from the man, only great stuff to come.
Travis Barker - Carry It
Yep, everyone's favourite, occasionally one-armed drummer, Travis Barker is bringing out a solo album. And as an entire album of drumming, no matter how good, might become a tad boring Travis has got a load of mates from the worlds of rock and hip-hop to join him. Good move. This is the first track featuring RZA, Raekwon and Tom Morello, quite the mix. This track appears to be some lazy western guitars riffs, heavy drums with a couple of rappers over the top. Interesting.
Patrick Stump - Accapella
I'm excited to hear the solo album from Mr Stump, more so than I have been to hear from the other members' post-FOB projects. An incredible and pretty unique voice, great producing skills and what appears to be a hard-working ethic. This mash-up of: Empire State Of Mind - Jay-Z & Alicia Keys, Love The Way You Lie - Eminem Featuring Rihanna, Need You Now - Lady Antebellum, Nothin' On You - B.o.B Featuring Bruno Mars
and Fuck You - Cee Lo Green is pretty cool.
Lower Than Atlantis - Beech Like The Tree
Bit of a weirdly named song, but nevertheless I like it. It's a step up form their emo roots and there's definitely a massive Anberlin influence in there, and despite the fact that's it's pretty much built on the chorus and not a lot else, it's pretty cool.
