Why I Love You
Kanye & Jay-Z. Two of the best rappers of our time. Crazy shits gonna happen. I bought this gold plated piece of art this summer, and fell in LOVE with it. From now infamous “Niggas in Paris” to some of the less apreciated tracks like “Gotta Have It” Here Jay-Z & Kanye West (feat. Mr. Hudson) with “Why I Love You”

Year of the Tiger
Bought St. Vincent’s album the day it came out. Incredible music. One of my new favorites after Actor, I was glad to see her 3rd album kept her form. It would have been easy to put Cruel on here, but this one is one of my favs, so here is St. Vincent with “Year of the Tiger”

How Come You Never Go There
Feist had a new album come out this year, and since it didn’t have “1234” on it, the world didn’t seem to give a shit. But I bought it, and even though there may not be a standout single, the album itself (Metals) is put together very well, and incredibly easy to listen to. It’s probably one of the best WHOLE albums of 2011. Here’s Feist with “How Come You...

Bounce (feat. N.O.R.E. & Isis)
I first heard of MSTRKRFT (pronounced Master Craft) when they were announced to Lollapaooza 2009. I didn’t find out until later that it is actually a side project of one of the members of DFA 1979. But pretty much MSTRKRFT is the beat-maker and they get a bunch of guests to sing/rap over them. Not to different than Major Lazer except replace Island music with Underground New York sound....

Robot Rock
In my opinion Daft Punk is and will be the greatest electronic artists of all time. Sure they don’t have as much buzz anymore but the pretty much made it mainstream. Electronic music would not be the same today if it wasn’t for them. They are the equivalent of The Clash/Velvet Underground/The Ramones/Sex Pistols to punk music (Note: I mentioned all with a claim to creating punk as not...

Sofi Needs a Ladder
Deadmau5 is one of those artists who has a lot of attention right now, and when I decided to give him a fair turn I was at Target and his new album 4x4=12 had just gone on sale for $7. So i bought it and just dived right in. Everything about him is catchy, it’s not just this song, it’s all of them. In my opinion he is one of the buzz artists who is worthy of all the attention...

Crimewave
I got this song unfortunately AFTER their appearance at Lolla 2009 in the Lolla Sampler. I fell for this song instantly. Crystal Castles actually helped get me more into electronic music and really lead to the creation of a whole genre in my itunes. Probably one of the best electronic acts to come out of this decade, some of the sounds sound almost like you’re in a video game. Also since...

Pon De Floor
Well here we come to our second half of this fine Music Monday. The opening half was mostly indie elctro/indie pop. Here’s where I plan to get into some more hardcore electronic. I first heard of Major Lazer because of looking up Diplo, and I thought hey if Diplo made it why not check it out. I actually like Lazer a lot more the Diplo. I absolutely love the Islnd feel you get in these songs,...

Dystopia (The Earth is On Fire)
I was introduced to YACHT by one of my friends, we were just sitting in the car one day and he put on the song “Ring The Bell” by them, and it just stuck in my head and wouldn’t leave. I had to download it just so I could get the thing out of my system. This year YACHT released a new album, Shangri-La, and while it’s more of the same, I don’t care because...

Girl / Boy
I really love Aphex Twin. He’s so beautifully mad. His music seems to have structure and at the same time none at all. It’s sort of eerily perfect. Especially this song. The orchestration painting this beautiful picture, and the electronic beat behind it making it feel fake and unreal. Sorry I couldn’t find a video without the claymation. but here’s Aphex Twin with...

Intro
I kinda wished I posted this first, the title sorta makes sense for that, but “Brother Sport” had been stuck in my head so I thought ehh let’s open with something cheery. The XX are this semi new band out of Britan, and they pretty much exploded on to the scene last year with thir self titled debut. They were also able to pick up a Mercury Prize for the album. The whole album is...

Dance Yrself Clean
That is not a typo in case any of you were wondering. LCD is one of my favorite bands, so I had to feature them in this music monday. Sadly though James Murphy and co. called it quits last year, but I’m fairly confident that they’ll return in a couple of years to wow us with layers upon layers of complex-ness. Untill then we are left with 3 great albums to listen to. Here is LCD...

But also I touch on Joy Division, The XX and others that are maybe not “Techno” but are electronic. What I want to know now is what do YOU GUYS want to hear.

Holocene Music Video
Yesterday I blogged the song “Holocene” by Bon Iver for my Music Monday, and today I just found the music video that was released 6 days ago. It shows this kid wandering around in the beautiful Icelandic landscape. Thought I’d share it with you guys.
