Major Lazer, Halo (Beyonce cover)
Been listening to a lot of new music this morning, and this is by far the best thing I’ve heard. Diplo and Switch dropped this decidedly different but definitely awesome cover of the Grammy-winning single from Beyonce the day after the Grammys. It’s got this great reggae-dub feel to it while still immediately recognizable for the pop genius of the original. Good stuff.
Infographic of the Day: “The Complete Works of Taylor Swift: A Symbolic Analysis”
I LIKE THE LYRICS ABOUT BEING A CHEERLEADER AND SHE’S IN THE BLEACHERS!
[buzzfeed.]
As much as I dislike Swift’s “horseys and fairy tales and princes and princesses” thing, I’d shudder to see what would happen if someone did this for say Gaslight Anthem (Jersey references, old song quotes stolen, Cadillacs, random generic girls’ names), Japandroids (Vancouver, summer, drinking, youth) or Hold Steady (Twin Cities reference, biblical reference, drug use).
Agreed. Pretty funny because her motifs are really “girlie,” but there are lots of bands you could boil down the same way. How many songs did Bruce Springsteen write about Mary?
Gorillaz feat. Bobby Womack & Mos Def, Stylo
I ain’t gonna lie. I’m pretty excited about this new album.

Happy (belated now) b-day, sir.
Josh Rouse, I Will Live on Islands
Man, I always forget how good Josh Rouse is. Well, he’s got a new album coming out and is featured in a new Take-Away show. It’s good stuff.
That is me completely caught up on my google reader for the first time in almost two months. Hopefully, more consistent content for a while.
