Jammies

This is Santi's new single "Disperate Youth". Now THIS is the Santigold that I love. Her first single I was not a big fan of, but this right here is that jam. The countdown to her new album Master of My Make Believe is on, and I can hardly wait. Enjoy.

BONUS: Here is Santi and the making of her album cover. Sidenote: How hot does she look in that gold get up? Get it guuuurrrl


This song I stumbled upon while working at the radio station. I was making my rounds around the stations and I heard this pumping out the speakers at 96X. At first I thought it might be a new Weezer song, alas it was not. It was Jeff the Brotherhood and the song "Bummer". The song definitely gives me a Weezer feeling with a little bit of Grunge too, I would definitely be bumping this when the weather gets warmer (what am I talking the weather is already warm) Anyways I think I'm going to check out their album Champion.

Yay!

Finally my beloved Santigold has come out with a new song "Big Mouth" which means that her sophmore album Master of My Make Believe will actually be coming out this year JOY!

And just for kicks check out my post about going to the Santigold concert in '09

Spring/Summer Time Essentials

On days like these you feel like doing something. Even if its just driving around with your windows down bumping some tunage. I would like to possibly contribute to your spring and summertime soundtrack with some of my favorites for the sunshine season. Im going to start off with Top Ranking Mixtape by Diplo and Santigold. This came out last year and it has a lot of Santi remixes most with a reggae/dub twist. The whole mixtape thumps. It was for a time available for free but that link is now dead, but you can buy it here, its hot fiyah.

Sunday Gold: Musical 3!

So I just wanted to dump off some more videos from the Santigold show last sunday. Mostly for me so I can see them without having to break out the camera. These vids are not long, or great in quality, but they're mine so they're awesome. Up first a lil lil lil bit of "Lights Out"
And then...somebody made it rain and the intro to "Get it Up"


And that's about it for the videos, a nice to relive that show, it was a good one, the next show im looking forward too is Kid Cudi/ Asher Roth (without the asher roth part) just found out that 88 Keys will be opening niiiiice.

Sunday Gold: Electric Bugaloo

Alright so here we go, Im finally getting around to tell you about the Sanitgold show on sunday. As I have previously posted on my way into work early sunday morning I heard about on the radio and I immediately flipped out and checked my bank account to make sure I had enough fundz which I did. Got off of work and purchased the tickets. Enough of that let's get to the show. Up first in the line up was this chick Amanda Blank, she's from Philly and her musical style reminds me of Peaches, I enjoyed much, she was bad a$$. Up next was Trouble Andrew whom I have heard because of the cameo on Santi's song "I'm A Lady" turns out this is actually fiance. He has been snowboarding for a while and turned to music. I REALLY liked his set, on twitter I think I said something along the lines of "Santigold update #2 trouble andrew was dope like stoner skater snowboarder thug music i dug." So yeah, I enjoyed it so much I brought the album after the show was over and me likey, my brother bought a Trouble Andrew shirt too, so I guess he likey as well. I love this dudes swagger.





Alright so after what seemed like an extrrrreeemely long wait Santigold finally came out, here's the video of her coming out and my screaming like a teeny bopper, have your barf bag next to you, its shaky.
So she performed every single song from her debut record and some including songs from a mixtape which I didnt know about and a Cure cover. Turns out she had the stomach flu!!! And she still came on stage and put on an absolutely amazing show. The best part of the night however was my brother going on stage and dancing with her during "Creator", ohhh that made his life!! In this vid watch the kid in the green shirt that's my brova Tyrone aka Kid Nyva aka Popjaye
So overall it was an excellent show from top to bottom. Even Santigold was surprised how cool and diverse the crowd, I guess cause it's the 'south' but this is a special area and she needs to come here again!




And. I'm. Done.

Sunday Gold

So I promised to post about the Santigold show that I went to on sunday, but like the bonehead I am I forgot my camera with fuzzy pictures and shaky videos at home. I dont feel right writing about the show without the pics so as soon as I get home from work I'm going to put my camera in my bag so I wont forget it, and will do the full write up tomorrow. But to wet you pallet a bit I would just say it was AMAZING, smack yo gums on that till tomorrow.
Note: I know the tag says SanTOgold, and she now goes by SanTIgold, but the tag is pre-existing and I dont feel like going back and changing them just yet so yeah.

The day got brighter, no Gold.

So sunday is not my favorite day of the week, cause I have to go to work and sunday is a day of rest. Jesus does not approve. However; on my way into work today whilst listening to the radio I heard this lovely lady will be in town performing tonight.

Needless to say I got excited. Got into work immediately checked my account and I have just enough money plus some to buy 2 tickets to the show tonight. So what I have to be at work at 2 am THIS IS FREAKING SANTIGOLD!!! So on tuesday ill tell you how it went im so excited.

The "Cool" List

So I was over at NME magazine's website aka the hipster's music bible and they have their Top 50 Cool list for 2008. 95% of the people they mentioned I didnt even know who they were, I guess im not a hipster DAMMIT! Anyways Santogold was #17 and M.I.A. was #8 and that's pretty much who I only cared about. Lil Wayne was #13 because he wants to be a hipster and Alice Glass from Crystal Castles was #1. Dont know who she is? thats okay cause I barely know who she is too. I only heard of Crystal Castles cause they had a song on the NIne Inch Nails "Lights in the sky" EP of people whom they were touring with, the song is pretty cool though. You can check out the full list here http://www.nme.com/blog/index.php?blog=10&title=nme_cool_list_2010&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
