North Carolina Grown...

This is post dedicated to an extremely talented musician from North Carolina named Rudy Currence. He wrote a few songs on Ray J. and Mya's most recent respective albums... He is abcoluetly sick with the vocal arrangements and song structure in general... His evident gospel roots are refreshing because they are not overbearing... He actually has an extremely diverse ear. He's also a showman...Here's a lil' taste of his flavor entitled "Nothin' To Talk About."

Flashguns-Locarno

Okay... SO I have heard several versions of the Flashguns' "Locarno." The Itunes version is lovely. I am enjoying the added synths... It can be heard on their myspace page. I am looking forward to a full-length by these young lads... Cheers.

Chester French Mixtape

The Indie Pop group Chester French Mixtape is out and it is called Jacques Jams, Vol. 1: Endurance - Get Familiar with Chester French. It's not you're typical mixtape. Of course it has the random DJ tags in the songs (Get Familiar is the signature tag for Clinton Sparks), and you have the Hip Hop guest appearances (Pharrell Williams, Pusha T from the Clipse, Bun B, etc.), but there is a certain unique quality that isn't conveyed in every mixtape. The storyline from starting a band to regaining their "endurance" is fantastic and the tracks there were produced by the Star Trak camp have an off-kiltered pop appeal. Not to forget, Our dear friend Janelle Monae is featured in the song "Nerd Girl". This is worthy of your computer's memory space.

"Don't Get Blood on my Prada Shoes"

I woke up this morning and though to myself, "I need some Metal in my life". Before I could even turn on my computer, a long time friend called and introduced me to The Number Twelve Looks Like You. He said listening to their first album (Put On You're Rosy Red Glasses) made him wanted to delve more into the genre. I wikied their info and they encompassed numerous elements into there music that I enjoy such as grindcore, progressive metal, and mathcore. I listened to it and guess what happened, I wanted to listen to more Metal so I made an ITunes playlist with the most recent Unearth ( The March), Lamb of God (Wrath), and Norma Jean (The Anti Mother) albums.

I was skyping with Pacemaker and he sent me some material from a new deathcore group called War From A Harlots Mouth. It was the most properly brutal music I heard of the day. I recommend hearing, "A Grotesque Relationship" off their Falling Upstairs EP and tuning into their new album In Shoals. They have a video out called "Crooks at Your Door". Check it out. The next time I write about music, I may suggest something less frightening to most readers :). Enjoy!
