Classixx opened for Holy Ghost! at the Troubadour the other night, but I was too busy getting drunk at the restaurant next door to catch their act in time. Now that I’m listening to the full album, I have to admit I’m bummed I missed them because “Hanging Gardens” is really good. Just what you want from a band on the impressive DFA roster. And just in time for summer…
The Hood Internet - “Doin’ It Good” (Kanye West X Daft Punk)
Doin it right from RAM and the Good Life mashed up. A little bit busy sounding as there is a lot going on in this song but it is so ill. The Hood Internet proves again they are the premiere mash up artists around right now. Check them out this Saturday at the Echoplex. Holler.
THIS IS EVERYTHING.
Daft Punk + Soul Train
“Royals” by Lorde
So good.
I highly recommend reading Pitchfork’s feature on Daft Punk.
Solange is the coolest.

The next buzzed about music sensation? Meet Lorde, a 16 year old singer and songwriter from New Zealand who has been getting a lot of attention recently for her smooth beats and Grimes-meets-Ellie Goulding production. Still in high school, Ella Yelich O’Connor, who writes all her songs herself, is already a sensation in her country having sold out her first shows in minutes. She’s now getting some big international record deals. We can’t wait to see where she goes!
Yup. She’s awesome. I’m a big fan of her song “Royals.” Go listen!
