Under The Cover

I know relatively few things about British chanteuse Adele, but here's what I do know:  killer voice, pretty face, she plays the bass and she's healthy.  But, she sings like a champ.  Here's what I know about Santigold:  she use to be called Santogold, she's engaged to a snowboarder, her music is fantastic.

So, all of that being said I came across a sweet ass cover of Santigold covering Adele's "Hometown Glory."  Good stuff.

*Update*  Thanks to Travis Hopper and the wonders of social networking I could not go on today without posting this little gem... The Oak Ridge Boys covering The White Stripes "Seven Nation Army."  Genius.

Mash-Up Monday

I have to blame todays mash-up on my wife.  She recently bought Santogold's album the other day ago and she got me hooked.  I was really hesitant to listen to it, but once I did I was smitten.  What I'm not hesitant about is liking Missy Elliot.  She's full of clever, catchy rhymes done to Timbo beats and her songs are always good to get your ass movin'.

Bed-Stuy Where You At?

I finally listened to "Brooklyn Go Hard" by Jay-Z featuring Santogold that will be on the new B.I.G. biopic Notorious. I really don't like Christopher Wallace's mom, she seems to me like she's ready to make a livin' off of her sons death and legacy. But, that's just me. I think it has a lot do with the episode of Behind The Music she was on several years ago. When she spoke about her son it just seemed a little fake to me. But, I digress.

Anyhoo, I checked out the Kanyain't produced track that actually samples Santogold's "Shove It." Loves it, classic Jay rhymes. But, the video for it is pretty cool as well. Just the letters in Brooklyn make it up. Check it here.

Saturday Party

It's Saturday, it's past 5 o'clock and it's time for tunes and drinkin'.  Here are a couple of mashup bangers to turn up as loud as your little stereo can go.  

The mashup of the Wu's "C.R.E.A.M." and Justice is a nice housey mix.  The Missy vs Santogold mash is a fuckin' banger...loves it.
