New Mixtape: Mansions On The Moon – Paradise Falls

New mixtape project produced by DJ Benzi and Diplo for Pharrell & Shae (N*E*R*D)’s new group, Mansions On The Moon. This is hot, check it out if you haven’t already since it dropped last week and read the official plug below:

“Mansions on the Moon’s mixtape, ‘Paradise Falls’, is now finally available for free download. The Echo Park trio formed a little over a year ago and they have since collaborated with N*E*R*D, Diplo, Benzi & Willy Joy and Xaphoon Jones (Chiddy Bang).

Their debut mixtape ‘Paradise Falls’, presented by Diplo and DJ Benzi illustrates the wide range of Mansions on the Moon’s capabilities. The fusion of Mansions’ electro indie pop into a trip-hop flavored mixtape shows this band has huge things on the horizon. Keep an eye out for their debut original album and tour dates in the early part of 2011.”

New Music: Amy Winehouse – It’s My Party (feat. Quincy Jones)

Amy Winehouse has still got it even after everything she’s gone through but I kind of hate this song (originally recorded by Leslie Gore back in the day). I think this new track, produced by Mark Ronson, is from some Quincy Jones (tribute?) compilation that I’ve started to hear rumblings about. There’s a record sampling the Sanford and Son TV show theme featuring T.I. or something (??) also floating around.

The Hipster Blogosphere Jumps on Yet Another Bandwagon: Odd Future [NSFW Artwork]

From LA Weekly:

“As recently as July, Odd Future wasn’t sure what the future held. They had sent their music out to some hip-hop blogs, but it wasn’t getting much love. Their sound was too weird, too slow, too fucked up. Odd Future thought they probably would have to go back to school after summer. Then a writer for U.K. music magazine The Wire stumbled across them. He wrote a feature for the magazine’s September issue and pimped Odd Future to everyone he knew.

Fader blogged about them at the end of August: “If the rappers in Odd Future were indicative of California’s social climate, the West Coast would be currently experiencing a miniature apocalypse, complete with grocery store looting and armed survivalist militias, plus tons of drugs and skateboarding.” Other bloggers started getting onboard, and buzz started to spread. Then MTV name-checked Odd Future in their list of 10 most anticipated albums. Even Snoop didn’t make that cut.”

Not that these guys are that terrible but sometimes I just have to shake my head. One of the Top 10 Most Anticipated Albums??! GTFOH!!!! Check out all the hype for yourself with this track, “Sandwitches” by Mssrs. (Wolf) Haley & (Hodgy) Beats from their Soundcloud page, which has a whopping 53 plays and counting. That’s anticipated alright….
