SebastiAn - Embody





I wish I had this guy coming out every time this song was on. Epic music video.

Aretha Franklin - I Say a Little Prayer For You / Zeds Dead - Coffee Break








I run for the bus, dear,
While riding I think of us, dear,
I say a little prayer for you.
At work I just take time
And all through my coffee break-time,
I say a little prayer for you.






and then Zeds Dead comes in -




Holy Shit.

Mario Castro Neves & Samba SA - Candomble


"Candomblé (Portuguese pronunciation: [kɐ̃dõˈblɛ]) is an African-originated or Afro-Brazilian religion, practised chiefly in Brazil by the "povo de santo" (people of saint). It originated in the cities of Salvador, the capital of Bahia and Cachoeira, at the time one of the main commercial crossroads for the distribution of products and slave trade to other parts of Bahia state in Brazil. Although Candomblé is practiced primarily in Brazil, it is also practiced in other countries in the Americas, including Uruguay, Argentina, Venezuela, Colombia, Panama; and in Europe in Germany, Italy, Portugal and Spain. The religion is based in the anima (soul) of Nature, and is also known as Animism. It was developed in Brazil with the knowledge of African Priests that were enslaved and brought to Brazil, together with their mythology, their culture and language, between 1549 and 1888.
The rituals involve the possession of the initiated by Orishas, offerings and sacrifices of the mineral, vegetable and animal kingdom, healing, dancing/trance and percussion. Candomblé draws inspiration from a variety of people of the African Diaspora, but it mainly features aspects of Yoruba orisha veneration."

Deltron 3030 - 3030


One of the most epic groups ever created: Dan The Automator, Del Tha Funkee Homosapien, and Kid Koala. A post-apocalyptic future where the main character raps about his adventures on earth and space might sound like a gimmick... but that's the point.

D'Angelo - Send It On


This is probably one of my favorite songs by the more often than not shirtless/crack smoking and all around fun dude by the name of D'Angelo. While "Untitled" is strictly for fucking (or at least pretending you are) "Send It On" is much more relaxed. It's what you play a few minutes before you get completely naked and film yourself singing one of your own songs.

Jay Electronica - Forever



Short and sweet. Jay Electronica over a Dilla beat. It really doesn't get much better.

Daniel Rossen - Too Little, Too Late

This is probably one of the greatest covers of all time.
Daniel Rossen gives it his treatment.










Michael Showalter - The Apartment

This is a bit irrelevant, since it isn't music, but i'll roll with the fact it's still an audio file. This is Michael Showalter doing a bit based off of a poem he wrote in High School.



TV Girl - If You Want It



Hello, it's me.

Jorge Ben - O Telefone Tocou Novamente

Even though I haven't slightest idea what he's saying (except for what I can gleam from a rough Google translate), this is still one of my favorite songs of all time.
