hey. hazim here...again. I've downloaded a lump of songs this week and checked a few others on the internet. People send me links on forums and message boards recommending joints to me...and I decide whether I like them or not! My opinion matters to me. But I think I'm very fair. Unless I'm listening to a Jonas Brothers track. Then it's all death to Nick, Joe, and the other boy. So this time, we've got Kanye with a heartless bitch, Mudvayne being Nickelback, Telekinesis and marine biology, love is all gossiping, and Miss Britney with a pretty solid track.
SONG: "Do What You Do"ARTIST: Mudvayne
Mudvayne aren't pop. I usually just keep strictly pop, right? Well, because I DID think their album The End of All Things To Come had promise. That maybe they could move beyond their Nickelback sound and go the Against! Me route. But judging from gruff sound of their latest album and this single, apparently not. You can almost imagine Chad Kroeger's dreadlocks when you listen to it. Listen to it HERE
SONG: "Plankton"Michael Benjamin Lerner is still in the process of finishing up his debut album, but he's letting people have a sample of the kind of sound his record would project. Unless you have the Internet Media Grabber, the only place you can listen to "Plankton" is on his MySpace music profile page. I love this track. It's kind of like Coldplay I guess, different than his other songs, but his voice is richer than Chris Martin. And a lot less whiny. This is the song to play Nintendo Wii's Endless Ocean to. Except it's so short (a little over 2 minutes) so you'll have to play it again and again. Listen to it HERE
SONG: "Heartless"His ego may be his downfall yet. But this track, he second single off his upcoming 808 and Heartbreak is low key thrilling. "Love Lockdown" was great, but to minmal and it pushed his off key singing to the fore, whereas on this one, he actualy raps-the thing he's really good at. I never really warmed up to his last album, but this promises a more clever use of techno bleeps and sounds. Listen to it HERE
SONG: "Rumors"Swedish bands rule! The Hives and Love Is All. Off their fantastic super duper album A Hundred Things That Keep Me Up At Night. This song reminds me of what The Ting Tings could be like if they ditched trying for chart positions and just having fun instead. Great beat. And I'm sure the spelling is the British English "Rumours" but as we know, America trumps even in English. Haha...whatever. If The Raveonettes were still going at it full bore and didn't sound tired, they'd record "Rumors". Listen to it HERE
SONG: "Amnesia"Miss Lifestyles of The ich and Famous has had a great comeback so far with a number one hit and three moonmen under her belt in less than three months. This should set the stage for a number one debut for her upcoming album Circus. Except...all the tracks have leaked. Yes. Whether purposely done by her label or an accident, most people who care enough would have probably already heard the whole damn thing. Plus all the bonus tracks. This includes "Amnesia" which has Lady Gaga's influence on it. It's a 50s throwback kind of song, the kind that while not vocally strong (hey, it's Britney) could have been sneaked off Christina Aguilera's Back To Basic's track listing. It's unlike anything else Britney's ever recorded before and most of the things on Circus as well. Except this won't actually BE on that album. Too bad then. Britney reels in her own ditsy persona here, curling words like Fergie and actually sounding like she's having fun. And too bad Circus has to sound like Britney, her third alum's twin in sound and mood. Like she's testing the waters again. Listen to it HERE
