Another Common Remix [official this time...]

Like...if the original wasn't already dope enough, these ninjas had the nerve to do it again... Sad thing is, it kinda makes me wonder why Pharrell couldn't have done the whole album with this kind of sound. Ah, well...what are you gonna do? Well, besides click the pic, that is...

Give the [punch] drunkard some...

Socialite Sign-off...

Common x Cee-Lo on Ellen

Performing "Make My Day" off Common's new album. I appreciate the decor, with the palm trees, khakis, and such. Saw him perform this live last year, which was dope, of course. Seems like Common was a little amped, but...otherwise, no harm done.

That's all, bipeds.

Common Remix

Remix of "Universal Mind Control".  Actually...more of a mashup. I'd tell you what the other half of the mashup is...but that'd spoil the fun.  It shouldn't surprise you, though.  Whoever spliced the joints did a bang-up job, in my opinion.  Click the pic.

Oh, the joint was found at Common's new blog. [<~~~peep the official]

That's all, bipeds.

Socialite Sign-off...

Unreleased Common x Dilla.

OK, remember this?

That was the original version for Common's "Be", title track off the '05 album.  And apparently, there's a version produced by Dilla:

Pretty awesome, I'd say.  Want?  Click the pic.

That's all, bipeds.

Common Track List... [NOT a leak...]

01 Universal Mind Control

02 Punch Drunk Love f. Kanye West

03 Make My Day f. Cee-Lo Green

04 Sex 4 Sugar

05 Announcement f. Pharrell

06 Gladiator

07 Changes

08 Inhale

09 What a World

10 Everywhere

I heard "Sex 4 Sugar" and "Gladiator" at the concert, and they're good.  [STILL need to upload the pictures.]  The joint with Kanye only features him on the hook, I believe.  And I can't wait to hear the track with Cee-Lo.

That's all, bipeds.

Let's not get this post deleted...

Know who that is, yes? Good...has an album coming out...a few tracks have leaked...each featuring another artist. Sew...every picture you click after this one...will have a download...got it? I'm not saying any names...

*whew* That was exhausting.

Poll Update ~~> New Poll!!

Whose album are you looking forward to the most?

Q-Tip, The Renaissance		2	40%
Kanye West, 808s & Heartbreak		1	20%
Common, Universal Mind Control		1	20%
T-Pain, Thr33 Ringz		1	20%
Ludacris, Theater of the Mind		0	0%

Hmm...Q-Tip pulled through on that one. And nobody voted for Luda. Ah, well. Speaking of Ludacris...if you haven't seen Max Payne, do so, so you can be as disappointed as I am.

But I digress. New poll. Semi-relevant, as always.

That's all, bipeds.

New Common & Pharrell vid.

Common & Skateboard are back at it, c/o Hype Williams, or "Hype TV" in this joint. [Remember "Hype Warhol" from the "Everybody Nose" remix vid? Yop-yop.]

     In all honesty, the video isn't terribly interesting; yes, it's techy and such, but after that, it doesn't really do anything else.  The video for "Announcement" was better.  I'm also glad Hype saved us from having to see Pharrell in two consecutive Common videos.  No, a robot's head doesn't count.  But the song is dope, so it's tolerable.  It's ever better to see live [which reminds me, pics from the Common x N*E*R*D concert coming soon].

Oh, and peep Pharrell's robo-eyes.  Definitely a nod to HAL 9000.

That's all, bipeds.

Pay what you OWE!! [Exclusives on deck.]

So...because I live a busy life, and because Bouier enjoys fucking with me [ask if you don't believe], there have been a lot of videos shown here that have gone unripped. Well...that will be rectified as of now. That's right, exclusives aplenty; I figure it couldn't hurt our page stats to give you something you won't find anywhere else. Just remember who loves you. Let us begin.

First off, the audio rip of the Junya Watanabe MAN Autumn-Winter 2007-08 show. Upon ripping it, I found it rather catchy, and was determined to find the tracklisting of the mix. Peep:

1．Goose - "Check"
2. Goose - "Everybody"
3．Goose - "Black Gloves"
4．Goose - "British Mode"
5．Vitalic - "Newman"

Goose is a Belgian electro rock collective, and Vitalic is a French electro artist, in case you were wondering. I'd link you to samples of their work, but...I suppose the mix will serve that purpose, no? Here you go.

Oh, peep the officials:

Next, the two new Lupe joints from when he performed at IU, previewing the new cuts for LupEND. Peep here and here. Also, Lupe's freestyle over the "Dear Summer" beat; enjoy.

J*DaVeY:

Bringing their new single "Dollar or More", live on Ellen Degeneres' show. Bone apple teat.

A while ago, Bouier dropped the Dior Homme fashion show vid, for which French electro house group Justice did the soundtrack. Then I brought the audio rip. Then a few days ago, Bouier dropped what I assume will be the radio edit, truncated and with an extra guitar solo. [EDIT: The shorter version is just the last four minutes of the full version.] So I now bring the full version, same as the audio rip from before, except now in CD quality. "Planisphere" is unique because it offers a focused attempt at the classical baroque stylings that Justice usually only provides on the breaks of their other songs. 17 [count 'em] seventeen minutes long, and worth every second. Click the pic above, or click here.

M.I.A.'s demo of "Rain Dance". Here you go.

And as [almost] always, the Beloved Bone-Us Item:

I bring the instrumental for Common's "Announcement", featuring and produced by Pharrell. Click the pic.

*whew* That was a long one. [That's what she said.]

That's all, bipeds.
