Symphony of Science – We Are All Connected

Religious people have over 1,000 years of music to call upon, but now, science is coming up with its own anthems.

Thanks, Colin!

Nice (easy) sample. La Roux is the new Madonna.

It’s amazing what you can put together in a basement with a microphone and some pirated audio-editing software!

Well done, Sugar Tongue Slim.

Florence and the Machine & Dizzee Rascal – You’ve Got The Love (Live)

A few days ago, I was chatting with a local music tastemaker, Arianna O’Dell, who was asking me for music recommendations. We got on the subject of British rapper Dizzee Rascal (who I’m hot or cold on, depending on the track). Anyways, right after I recommended a song to her, Dizzee came out and KILLED IT on the track with Florence and the Machine, live, at the 2010 Brit Awards!:

Tim & The Space Cadets – Superhero

This track isn’t my taste, but I’m posting it because:

1) an acquaintance from high school (MTV VMA-award winner Josh Caldwell) of Meydenbauer Entertainment directed and shot the music video,

and

2) the little kids in the video are precious.

The band’s name, Tim & The Space Cadets, is right on–the lead singer seems so emphatically happy when he sings that he looks like a deranged space cadet. I cannot say I’ve seen a weirder lead vocal part (is this Christian rock?). This guy must just be high on life or something; there is no other explanation:

Great video, Josh. I wouldn’t have expected anything less.

You can hire Josh by emailing him at joshblog (at) meyd-ent (dot) com.

Jonsi – Go Do

I’m strongly considering producing a mashup remix of this track, overlaid with Lil’ Wayne rapping every once in a while. You guys think that would top the Hype Machine charts if I did it right?

Thanks, Marco!
