Welcome to Weekly Jams! Let's get fresh:
The Knife have dropped a track from their upcoming album
Shaking the Habitual. It's called 'Full of Fire' and the video was made by a feminist porn director. Prepare for tasteful bondage and plays on gender!
If
John Hughes was still alive and making sick movies, he would definitely put
Chad Valley and
Twin Shadow's 'I Owe You This' on a soundtrack. Duckie and Andie would totally get down to this at Cats.
Kilo Kish is a cool musician who is currently putting together a mixtape including
Earl Sweatshirt,
the Internet, Childish Gambino,
A$AP Ferg,
Flatbush Zombies and
SBTRKT. In the meantime, here's her track 'Creepwave':
Cat Power and
Angel Haze sounds like a weird-ass combination (for one, where did they meet?) but their collaboration on this remix of 'Manhattan' works surprisingly well:
Speaking of weird shit you never thought would happen,
Courtney Love recently did a cover of
Jay Z's '99 Problems'. People feel weird about her singing the 'n-word', but other than that it's kind of interesting?
Le1f has a new mixtape! No one is sad about it! It's called
Fly Zone! You can download it
here!
Smoke DZA and
Joey Bada$$'s track 'Gotham Fucking City' has a video. It starts with a quote about death by
Tupac, so that should tell you a little something about the vibe:
Evil Nine and
Danny Brown made a video for 'The Black Brad Pitt', which is just as weird as you would imagine:
Dirty Projectors covered
Usher's 'Climax' for triple j's Like A Version, and it was fun!
The Strokes released a new song called 'One Way Trigger' which kind of sounds like Nintendo 64 background music (also, apparently Julian Casablancas is trying out falsetto):
Speaking of bands you like in 2001,
Paul Banks from
Interpol made a hip hop mixtape and named it
Everybody On My Dick Like They Supposed To Be, which is kind of adorable and a title your dad would come up with. It features
El-P, Talib Kweli, and
Odd Future’s Mike G. Discuss:
Grizzly Bear have a video for 'gun-shy' which you should check out if you're so inclined:
Beach House have released a trailer for their short film, which will see them performing four songs from last year's
Bloom. Because playing music is what musicians do best.
How to Dress Well's track '& It Was U' has been remixed by
Elite Gymnastics, and HERE IT IS! Whaddya reckon?
And lastly, R.I.P to
Leroy “Sugarfoot” Bonner, frontman of influential '70s group
The Ohio Players, who died this week :(
