Have I seriously not talked about Saving Connie on this blog? This is a YouTube channel by a producer/DJ/mashup artist/music influencer who does a variety of music-related things on his channel. One of them is called "Connie TV" and is a series of videos that are like a mashup DJ set of popular hip-hop infused with R&B/pop/indie music with well-curated video footage that mixes music videos and footage from the music's creators alongside some ~ good content ~, providing a sort of just-voicy-enough aesthetic that feels trend-chasing but also original at the same time. I'm not sure there's a vibier way to spend an hour or two than one of these compilations.

Neil Cicierega dropped a "Bustin"-like yesterday and imo it's the song of the summer

sorry for the thumbnail!!!

part of what makes Hot Chip great is that when you look at them you're like "yeah that could be a guy I know". You get the sense that any member of Hot Chip could, instead of making great indie dance music, contribute to a popular open-source project or be really good at quoting Futurama episodes

Listened a few times last night, then again tonight... I'm ready to declare this new Geese song something special

(a Eurovision fan, seeing a successful major label artist for the first time) oh, she could definitely be on Eurovision

awfully bold of Aesop Rock to make a bodega-themed album from a city with maybe the worst bodega culture in all of America’s major cities (Portland)

workshopping a karaoke bit where I sing the lyrics to TMBG's "Pet Name" over Fiona Apple's "Criminal" instrumental but the lyrical structure needs a complete rework :(
