Gavin Fridlund & Antia Decastro

So found the hip hop remix of the track I posted earlier today.  You may or may not like the remixed version but this is still pretty sick... the best is when they scratch right before the chorus .

Some newww freaakkin tunes :) "The Marketts" "Dick Dale" "Melanie" "Mungo Jerry"

Just a quick post.  Been gathering the new tunes lately just had to share a couple! hopefully I can start posting more.  Not so much even for you but for me (and by you I mean the 2 people that stumble upon my blog like once a year).

"The Marketts"
Pretty sure Ive posted for these guys a few time (tracks like Balboa Blue... if I didnt you def have to check it out) but here is another jam that has been just jammin for me the past 3 weeks.
- Surfers Stomp -

"Dick Dale"
I dont know If ive posted this one, but give it a listen if you liked the first.  This has made it on to more than 1 cd I've made.
- Lets go Trippin -

"Melanie"
Found this jam about 5 minutes ago on a rollerskate in the waterpark video- it was remixed with a sick hip hop beat, wish I could find a clean quality version of the remix but no luck.  Here is the original, still wayyyy gooood track where has this one been hiding.
- Brand new Key -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coGb7LFbaqk&feature=relmfu

"Mungo Jerry"
So as I would also suggest to you, when you find a track on youtube with an album cover like the track "brand new key" I would suggest clicking on the other suggested videos with the same album cover.  I came across this track, I have heard it quite a few times before but I'm so stoked I found it.

"Zee Avi" "Sophie Madeleine" "Ingrid Michaelson"

So lately I have had a hunch for just girls playing beautiful love jams with beautiful voices. Damnit you mark my words one day even I kenton will find a lover!!! anyway, on that note, here are some jams that shall show you what i mean.

So for the first artist "Zee Avi" i have to give the credit to my friend justin chirstopher nickle for the splended fine. He would listen to her all the time in hawaii and I always loved it, so yeah. This video was debatabley the best 11 minutes of my life. All 4 songs are SICKKKK. the last one me and justin heard for the first time today whilest sitting in my room listening to music (like i said.... we dont really get a lot of girls...). So here it is, "Zee Avi" I think justin said she was from micronesia? i dont know. I guess she recorded on brushfire reccords which alone makes her sick... and one day my future wife. I wont post the songs names it mentions them in little thought bubbles on the corner. The third song i love and would always get justin to play. Wow this video is truely so amazing... wow.

Ok so this next one is a girl i stumbled apon named "Sophie Madeleine". She did a '30 days 30 covers' thing where she covered one song a day for thirty days... super solid on all of them (i have listened to almost all of them... :) she is so cute and sings so well!!!) anyway give here a few tries on any of the cover songs she did... im sure you will know a few. The few that caught me were "Moon river"- how cool is a chic who covered sinatra?? and "A kiss to build a dream on". A kiss to build a dream on... i sang this the entire day at work today... no joke.
"A kiss to build a dream on"

"Moon River"

Ok so this next girl is not a rare gem, she is famous i think ( i dont listen to the radio much so im super out of the loop) but the reason i post this one was because i met a girl at BYU who had her ukulele on her and played this for me and sung it so well and it was awesome... so i snagged her number, and of course, she hits me with the "im with my boyfriend" text... classic. well on the bright side im sure hes probaly a happy dude :) haha. The artist is "Ingrid Michaelson"
"You and I"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvMVCHhwTPs

This last one is random and doesent fit but on the tagent of justin here is another gem he showed me. "Noah and the whale" with "Five years time"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fy_u7Cviyhk

Gotta love me some good happy love jams :)

"Machito"

"Machito"... yeah this guy is awesome. He is kind of an old school cuban, but he has put out some sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet jazz... like probably some of my favorite ever. So I have been listening to the album "Kenya" he did (which is sickk... a must have...) and one of the tracks i think is so cool is "Congo Mulence". First few times wasnt like that big of a fan... but about after three hot dang!! this track is cool. Here it is.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sV3E4oURRTE

The next one is called "Guaglione". Mark lanham said this was on the movie "get smart"? which i dont think it was... but yeah. Sweeeet track... like SOOO GOOD. well... enough said. What i like so much about these tracks... is how it will like go dead for a second or two, then it will come back in with the sweetest transitions... like on the congo one, the first time it drops back in is so sick. So here is "Guaglione" dont watch the video it just detracts from the song, just open it in a different tab. ENJOY!

"Jurassic 5" "Atmosphere" (repeat)

Im sure at some point i have done a Jurassic 5 post, they are one of my favorite hip hop groups ever probably top 3. But anyway i got home tongith and have been listening to a couple of jams. ITs kind of weird my hole life i have never been a fan of "angry" hip hop (even though it snot really "angry") but as you seen with the new G list i kind of like those happier sounds. But anyway lately this not so happy vibe is starting to make a lot more sense to me. To be honest i have to be in the right mood, 9/10 times i like a good happy jam but sometimes... nah. Sometimes it just doesnt fit for how i feel. Anyway try listenign to some of these jams when your in the right mood which i guess isnt the happiest.

So one song is "little man" by "atmosphere". If you scroll down you will see i have already posted it but i figured i would again since i listened to it probably like three times tongight haha. well there it is. If your a follower sorry for the reapeat.

The next one is a j5 song, called "Thin Line". Really good song. First few times thru tho didnt really like it. But dang if there is one song that has lyrics that jump out at me it would be this jam. So yeah give it a shot the lyrics are pretty sweet.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXgoqG7ZU94

Yeah anyway ill just leave it at those two songs.

"Les Baxter"

So i have been going thru another Les Baxter album today. This one is called "Around the world with Les Baxter". prettty solid album (thus far atleast). Ill post one from that album as well as another album by him called "African Jazz". So yeah solid, kind of older but like i mentioned in my last post about him when he was on the "Thievery Corporation" mix tape "DJ kicks" he is strangely applicable to alot of music you hear these days. He has a unique almost disonate sound.
"Venezuela" from "Around the world with Les Baxter"

This album is pretty cool i think what he did was travel around or at least try to "capture" each country in a song. You will see what i mean if you snag the album.
"Rain" on "African Jazz"
Ok im finding a hard time finding this song. Dang youtube!!!! but anyway i foundt he first like minute and a half of it on some weird video. Groove shark it for the rest it gets goooood.
