Perfect Remixes

Introducing THE HOOD INTERNET. This group brilliantly mixes indie rock with popular rap songs. Some examples of indie bands used are: Passion Pit, Matt and Kim, Phoenix, Grizzly Bear, Modest Mouse, Beirut, Lykke Li, Radiohead and Miike Snow. These songs are remixed with the mainstream rap of today, like Lil' Wayne and Drake. My personal favorite is titled, "Back That Sleepyhead Up" which is Passion Pit vs Juvenile. It is absolutely genius.

You can download their mixtapes and singles on their website.

New Flaming Lips Video

This is the strangest VIDEO I've ever seen. Watch at your own risk. It consists of a bunch of naked people running around.

The song is "Watching the Planets" from their recently released album Embryonic.

Free Ben Howard Download

Ben Howard's myspace has a banner with a link to a free download of a new song! Check it out while you can!

Vampire Weekend cannot disappoint!

Check out the newly released video: "Cousins" by Vampire Weekend.

Judging by the two new songs, "Horchata" and "Cousins", their new album, Contra, is going to live up to my expectations!

Local Natives is my new favorite band. Their debut album, "Gorilla Manor" is expected to release early November. I've already pre-ordered mine.

Song to listen to: Airplanes
