Ghostpoet – The Sound of Strangers EP **FREE DOWNLOAD** by Brownswood

Baby, I’m Yours, by Breakbot is beautifully composed of approximately 2,000 individual images, each painstakingly painted with watercolors one right after another by Irina Dakava.

This isn’t an EP or a video, but it’s incredibly beautiful, so you should hear it, and after you do, go get James Blake’s CMYK EP, it sounds nothing like this (doesn’t it kinda sound like Bon Iver?) which is scary because this dude is only 21 years old and he’s already able to flip two completely different styles convincingly, look out world.

Pill and Motion Family shouldn’t go anywhere without the other, like Siamese twins. Pill’s bleek street tales and MoFam’s gritty visuals go together like Abercrombie and white girls.

Hippies playing perfect pop music. I mean PERFECT.

Patience. It’s Friday.

Where my sandles at?

Twenty ten just sounds better than two thousand and nine; with its built-in abbreviation and alliteration, it’s easily the baddest nickname since ’99. It even looks cooler on paper; the zeros separated symmetrically by 1 look just like midi code and if you remove the 2 you’ve got the beginnings of a great cartoon face — see the eyes (zeros) and nose (1) in 010…?

Besides, 2011 is gonna suck on account of the impending apocalypse. Most folks’ll prolly spend every spare second collectin bottled water, duc tape & SPAM so whatta you say we treat these next 361 like they’re our last and dance like there’s no one looking?

Here’s ten twenty ten mixtapes to get ya started. Go.
