o, yeah...I think this is going to be a returning feature here on my blog. I mentioned before that I love finding new music to listen to and it often comes from leaving my radio or television on long enough I can find something. Now, I'm not saying this is completely new music, it's just new to me, and I enjoy it.

The first song is by Cypress Hill:
What the hell? Cypress Hill? Insane in the Membrane? Tequila Sunrise? Whhaaaa? This blew my mind. The collaboration between Cypress Hill, Marc Anthony, and Pitbull is such an odd compilation but it works! Astounding! Plus, I love the Crosby, Stills & Nash sample from 'Judy Blue Eyes.' I couldn't find the music video that would allow me to embed, but here is the music...I recommend actually watching the music video too. It's pretty cool.


Flobots:
"I can ride my bike with no handlebars," evolves with their newest album. I enjoy their style and having Rise Against front man Tim MicIlrath has some nice screaming parts too. After hearing this song I'm going to be following Rise Against and Flobots more closely. They're both awesome. "White Flag Warrior"


Vampire Weekend:
I had never actually listened to Vampire Weekend until I saw them on MTVU. It's hard to judge them solely based on one song that I've heard, and really this is the only one, but they maintain a loyal fanbase who I hear speak fondly of their music. I was surprised when I realized how many people listened to them, but I'm beginning to understand why. PS The cameos by Jake Gyllenhaal and RZA are amazing. Wasn't expecting that.


B.o.B:
I think in my last music blog I gave a video of this guy and he's just coming out now but he's pretty good. Nothing to jump and shout about but he has quality material. This is another example. The line "Nu-nu-nuh-nothin on you" gets stuck and loops in my head.


Chiddy Bang:
I solely like this song because of MGMT's "Kids." This song takes what "Kids" did and flips it on its head creating something new and entertaining. I haven't listened to any more of Chiddy Bang, so it is what it is. Check out fratmusic.com for more songs like this. Props for Asif and Shemal for finding the past two vids for me.


Laura Marling:
I could listen to this woman's voice for a very long time. Entrancing. "Devil's Spoke" Good tune. Loves it.


Mumford & Sons:
Finally, at least for this blog, is Mumford & Sons with "Little Lion Man." This song is good because it pretty much says what a lot of people think. It's some good stuff with super guitar playing and rhythm. Yeah!
