In The Mix
Wow, I didn’t realize it had been over two months since I last made one of these. How sad! But here you have it…my top 10 songs I’ve been listening to lately. This edition ranges from classic rock, to classical, to hip-hop, and everywhere in between. So, let’s start it off. Let me know what you think -
1) Muse - Undisclosed Desires: One of the lead singles off of Muse’s latest studio album, The Resistance, the moody beat matches the lyrics perfectly.
2) Tiësto - Knock You Out (ft. Emily Haines: Slated to be the third single off of the Dutch DJ’s new album, Kaleidoscope it features Haines’ ethereal vocals combined with Tiësto’s signature trance style. Arguably the best track off the album, due out in retail on October 6th.
3) David Guetta - Memories (ft. Kid Cudi): This incredible track is a classic Guetta track, with vocals by Kid Cudi overlaid on a melancholy, resonating beat.
4) Space Cowboy - Falling Down (Remix ft. LMFAO and The Paradiso Girls): A reworked version of Space Cowboy’s lead single off his debut album, featuring genre-blending LMFAO and European pop sensation, Paradiso Girls.
5) Pitbull - Across the World (ft. B.O.B): One of the standout tracks off of Pitbull’s latest album, featuring a show-stealing guest performance by Atlanta musician B.O.B.
6) Mr Hudson - Straight No Chaser: Slated to be the 3rd single off of Kanye’s protege’s 1st solo effort, with brilliant lyrics reminiscent of Kid Cudi. Well worth a listen.
7) The Bloody Beetroots - Awesome (ft. The Cool Kids): One of the more bizarre collaborations in recent memory, this is a great combination of house music and hip-hop.
8) Britney Spears - Touch 3 Skies: Really just a mashup (albeit an incredible one), this collaboration by The White Panda combines the latest Britney Spears single, 3, with Kanye West’s classic hit Touch the Sky. The beat is perfectly timed with the lyrics, and in this case it’s a good thing.
9)N*E*R*D - Soldier (ft. Santigold): Pharrell and company have been performing this song live for months, but the studio version has just surfaced and is rumored to be on their upcoming album, Instant Gratification, which is looking at an early 2010 release date.
10) Crookers - Embrace the Martian (ft Kid Cudi): Released a while back on Crookers’ What Up Y’all EP, this track helped fuel Kid Cudi’s rise to mainstream recognition, particularly internationally. An outstanding fusion of electro and hip-hop.
Alright, that’s it for this time! So what do you think? Let me know in the comments and be looking out for my next Top 10 list, coming in a few weeks.
Curren$y is widely considered as one of the highest-regarded up and coming artists in the hip-hop world, and Perfect Time is one of the standout tracks off of the New Orleans prodigy’s latest album, Jet Files - out now via Amalgam Digital. This album is serving as a prelude to his first major label release, The Grand Scheme of Things, which is slated for an early 2010 release.
The winds of change are already blowing through, but the cool breeze of fall? Not so much. It needs to hurry up and get here, though.
This is something interesting. I made a little collage in Photoshop of my most listened-to artists in the past month…I’m going to make this a project and expand the amount of images in it as the year goes on.

I just got wind of this brilliant collaboration between the power duo N.A.S.A, Kanye West, Lykke Li, and the genre-bending Santigold. Replete with synthesizers and a booming bassline, this track definitely has some Top 40 potential. Off their upcoming album, The Spirit of Apollo.
this is the first time when I really WANT a Mac
