Monday Music: College "A Real Hero" feat. Electric Youth

I watched the movie, Drive last night with my sister at home, and what grabbed me the most was the music. The film is a perfect silhouette of effortless music supervision. It was highly electro and sounded acidic like the 80s. "A Real Hero," by College (feat. Electric Youth) gathered my attention the most. It's not new or anything, it's just what I happen to be jammin' to right now. Take a listen below. The Drive soundtrack is available now on iTunes.

Weekend Sounds: Phony Ppl

Last night I attended Columbia U's Spring Jam and partied like I was back in college again, but I was sobered up with the sounds of a Brooklyn based, jazz R&B/hip-hop band, Phony Ppl. The chords that give you goosebumps.Yep.The very essence of cool.Yep. Got you thinkin' real hip-hop ain't dead. Yep. Take a listen to this 8 piece band below and grab their album, Phonyland for 5 bucks via bandcamp. If you love real music, you will dig this!

Video of the Day: The Lumineers' "Ho Hey"

This video and this track really puts a smile on my face. Maybe because I'm a musician and I get really into stuff imaginatively. Anyways, folkloric  "follow the leader" music always makes me happy.

Song of the Day- Bastille's "Overjoyed" Gets a Yeasayer Remix

Bastille (Dan Smith) is an up and coming artist in London, and apparently he's made enough noise to capture Yeasayer's attention.
