Random Jamdom

Soon , I will have a proper job....then I will by records...then you will get proper record reviews. Till that day arrives here are a few songs that make my ever-growing ears happy.

I found this song while stumbling around the myspace-verse looking for some new/unappreciated artists. The song is from yet another Canadian artist, this one goes by Astral Black. There isn't much info out there about Astral Black and there hasn't been any activity at his myspace for a month, so who knows if the dude is even still around. Either way the song features Royce 5'9 and it rules. They use that mid-word-alliteration* style in the verses and I find that style to be awesome.

Dead Already by Astral Black

*I thought there was a word for alliteration in the middle of words, but it would appear (with minimal research) that it has more to do with repetition every syllable....depending, of course, on who you ask.

The other song I wanted to post I heard this very day over at Side One: Track One, and I fell in love instantly. It's by MGMT and I'll post the song here to save a little bandwith but you should really click through and check out the write up over there. Here's a hint: electro-pop heaven.

Time to Pretend by MGMT (buy links at myspace)
