Kanye is a douche
We all know that Kanye jumped on stage last night at the VMA’s and interupted Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech but no that’s not why he’s a douche. Instead I would like to point to the fact that he said Beyonce’s song Single Ladies was the best video to come out in the last 10 years.
Wait…you mean this song
Cause if you like it then you shoulda put a ring on it
If you like it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don’t be mad once you see that he want it
If you like it then you shoulda put a ring on it
That’s what you think is the best song to come out in the past 10 years? Really?
I have to say I’m a little ashamed that no one jumped on the stage when Green Day beat out the Kings of Leon…that would have made the night.
Health – Die Slow
I’m not sure what’s going on here nor if I even like it. Twas post worthy.

Fred Falke – Two Week’s (Grizzy Bear Remix)
With all of the technology available today it’s easy for any kid in his basement to grab the vocals to a song and lay them over some shitty house beat. That’s why I love it when I hear a work of art like this gem from Fred Falke for the song “Two weeks” by Grizzly Bear.

Falke started out as a bass player around 1995 before starting producing records in the late 90s. His first record, a collaboration with Alan Braxe named Intro, which sampled The Jets 1987 hit Crush On You, was released in 2000 on Vulture Music. The pair would form a very productive partnership up until 2008 when they went separate ways. Falke has also collaborated with France-based German producer, DJ and close friend Kris Menace, as well as having released records on Menace’s label Work It Baby.
Here is another great remix for the song Golden Cage by The Whitest Boy Alive.
