This week on MuchMusic, Degrassi star-turnt rappa Drake revealed that Lil Wayne is working on a rock album for his follow-up to 2008’s massive Tha Carter III.
Whaaaaaaaaaaa?
Can’t see this one turning out better than 808’s…
Here’s a slight taste at what a Lil Wayne rock album might possibly sound like:
Let It Rock- Kevin Rudolf ft. Lil [...]
Wayne’s World, Planet Rock?
Cover Lover #1
I’m going to try and start this series, get some regularity into the postings on this blog. Just a few random covers that I found good/bad/interesting.
Let Me Love You- Ocotillo (Mario Cover)
White Winter Hymnal- Ruby Isle (Fleet Foxes Cover)
Paper Planes- Pale Young Gentlemen (M.I.A. Cover)
Most importantly is this fabulous cover by Bon Iver.
Your Love- Bon [...]
The Mae Shi
When listening to their newest album, 2008’s HLLLYH, it’s easy to see that the Mae Shi had a great time recording it. Whether it is their cuh-razy harmonies, the use of auto-tune on their glitchy vocals, or the cheesy 16-bit drum kits that complete it all, you can tell they enjoy their job. I highly [...]
Last Day Of Magic
Caught this one in the midst of all of the end-of-the-year-list hooplah. Off of Midnight Boom, this song captures The Kills’ garage-rock feel, with its rough squeals and bleeps.

Bon Iver (pronounced bohn eevair) is an artist I’ve wanted to tell you faithful/fleeting readers about for a long time.
After being hit with a serious sickness, as well as the breakup of a band and a relationship, Iver, whose birth name is Justin Vernon, retreated to his father’s [...]
A Milli and One
This hurr’s an “A Milli” remix.
There are so many out there, but this one is the most impressive: it almost transforms it into easy listening. Mixed and mashed by The Tape’s own Tristan Rodman a.k.a. Swine Forkbeard, “A Milli/Porcelain” is a mashup of Lil Wayne’s 2008 smash hit with Moby’s 2000 club banger.
Earlier this year, [...]
Oh…My…God
A YouTube fiend, I’m always listening to random songs or watching obscure videos I am linked to. This being said, it takes a solid song to make me revisit it again. And again. And again.
Ida Maria’s “Oh My God” is one of those. A stunning, jittery video, “God”’s lyrical force assaults the listener in a [...]
2009 is the new 2004
What’s a better way to ring in the new year than another Black Album mash-up?
This one’s from Minty Fresh Beats, a New York City based DJ. He’s decided to take on the daunting task of mixing some of Radiohead’s greatest hits with Jay-Z’s “Final Album”. It’s not 2004’s Grey Album, produced by the now-legendary DJ [...]
