The Dø - Slippery Slope

The Dø - Slippery Slope from thatgo on Vimeo.


Much to my dismay, of all of the songs by The Dø that I listened to this was the only one that I liked. I don't know what it is, but I have a weak spot for these Finnish/Swedish female artists. They all have this slightly eery tone to their voice, and Olivia Bouyssou-Merilahti, lead singer of The Dø, is no exception. Lykke Li and Karin Dreijer Andersson of The Knife and Fever Ray are also in this category. What drew my attention to this song was the video. It's creative and beautiful and strange, although I'm still trying to figure out what it means lol.

Thunderheist




MC Isis and producer Grahm Zilla are the Canadian duo Thunderheist. This song is off their 2009 album titled Thunderheist and it hits hard. I love the electro-hip hop sound and I'm predicting this will be playing in my car this weekend. Isis reminds me somewhat of Rye Rye, but that may be simply because they are both female rappers and there are too few of them around to make complete comparisons.

Mos Def, Notorious B.I.G. and a jazzy mix is so good

Audio Bullys - Keep On Moving



I was introduced to this song by my brother during a five hour car ride to Canada. Although he played other great songs from his impeccable hip-hop collection, this one really stood out. It's so goddamn smooth. Thanks Z!
