Hard for me not to think of the Red/Meth joint from Blackout! 2 when I hear that second joint. For those of you in the T.dot, D-sisive will be playing the Horseshoe on Nov. 27 and on Nov. 28 his album, Jonestown.2: Jimmy Go Bye Bye will be available for FREE download.

Video: Bruce Springsteen & “Neil Young” – Whip My Hair (Willow Smith Cover)
Surreal! Except of course, that’s Jimmy Fallon in character as Neil Young. Still amazing and hilarious though.

Music Video: DiRTY RADiO – Head Go Wild
This is not exactly my thing but I dig it a little and it’s Van-City (Vancouver) representing! What made me decide to post it for sure though was that (I think) as a kid I had the exact same boombox shown at the beginning of the video – crazy!
Here’s the official plug too:
“DiRTY RADiO (aka Farshad Edalat) is a Vancouver-based singer/songwriter/producer and multi-instrumentalist.
Known throughout the Vancity music scene for his vocal and percussion abilities, he has been crafting his sound over the past few years all while writing, producing and remixing for other artists including Sherry St. Germain, Chin Injeti, K-OS, and Kay. 2010 saw the release of his first solo album titled Debut, a progressive pop experience, infused with hip-hop, R&B and dance influences. The record was written, recorded, produced in Vancouver’s Greenhouse studios by progressive music production team SEX-ED (which he also co-founded).
He is currently enjoying national exposure with his first radio single “MY HEART” featuring Vancouver-artist/producer Sherry St. Germain. The album Debut is available digitally from off his website at dirtyradio.ca, as well as on iTunes.”
Get a free download of the track with some sort of twitter-based f-ckery.
Hit the jump for better look at the radio from the front cover of his album and then try to tell me that’s not the same radio!
Introducing Opolopo – Voltage Controlled Feelings
I LOVE this! If you f-ck with Dam Funk and the like, you need to get at this immediately! Check the science as broken down by their label, Tokyo Dawn Records…
“Voltage Controlled Feelings is the sonic testimony of more than two decades of serious electro, funk and boogie studies from Swedish synth commander Opolopo!
Blending epic Blade Runner soundscapes and Krautrock sequencer lines into cruising west coast beats and beyond, he proves that science fiction and funk are not only compatible, but have always belonged together. Voltage Controlled Feelings is a newly discovered planet orbiting a distant star, that also pays homage to the synthesizers, drum machines and the artists who influenced Opolopo’s music. Echoes of Prince, Herbie Hancock, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Vangelis, Tangerine Dream and Isao Tomita can be heard throughout the album.
Fellow electronauts include L.A. vocalist Erik Rico, known for his work with Marc Mac and Tupac Shakur [ed note: really??], UK acid jazz hit singer Farah, Toronto-based jazz vocalist Sacha Williamson and Stockholm-based oral transmorpher of sounds and words Amalia ‘Miz Fuze’ Townsend, who will soon also release her debut album via TDR produced by Opolopo.
Supported by respected funkateers such as Dam-Funk, King Britt, Daz-I-Kue and Laurent Garnier, you best put on your finest space suit and dappest boogie shoes to catch the Opolopo starcruiser!”
