HIPSTER RUNOFF

[MP3]
Yacht Psychic City

Analysis: I feel 40% 'more willing' to listen to Yacht since they signed with DFA. I think this song is possibly better/worse than I think it is, and might be the type of song that 'defines a summer' in an accidental way because it was relatively inoffensive, seemed kinda fun, and it lends itself to placement on multiple mixCDs/playlists.

Yacht's brand is 'about to be very strong' since they will be grandfathered into 'fun music that is dancey that P4k honors as being authentic.' Sort of wish I had been into them 2 years ago, and accidentally went to one of their shows on a school night, had fun, and totally 'got' them even though most people didn't. They seem pretty 'artist-y.'

Memory Tapes Last One Awake (Friend Version)
Analysis: I think that Memory Tapes is the next 'conceptual-ish' band to 'really look out for' in terms of blowing up a hype bubble. I think that if they put together 30-45 minutes of 'solid music' in an LP, they will probably become one of the most 'listenable' products of 2k10-2k15. Sort of like AnCo pre-MPP, back when you could just 'chill' and listen to them. FEel like I would 'actually' describe them as 'a band that would open for AnCo, except they are actually good.' MemCassy is more 'electro' and possibly has 'more pop sensibilities' than most modern 'conceptual bullshit music.'

Lil Wayne Kobe Bryant

Analysis: This is a song by Lil Wayne about NBA player, Kobe Bryant, who will begin his pursuit of his first NBA championship without the help of Shaq "OMG he has a sillie Twitter" O'Neal. In the song, Lil Wayne honors Kobe by talking about 'how great' he is. I am not sure how I feel about Kobe Bryant. He has always been a bad teammate, and he also 'forced himself' upon some white girl in Colorado. He seems like 'a huge fraud', but not sure if he is actually 'lying' because I don't think he really has a 'true self.'

I don't know how I feel about the current generation of NBA stars. I feel like it is 'kinda forced.' I feel angry that I have to 'suck LeBron James's dick' even though he has never won an NBA championship.

Songs:

The Microphones - The Pull
The Microphones are way better than Mount Eerie. This song is deep.

Ryan Adams - This House Is Not For Sale
This is a song about the movie BEETLE JUICE starring Michael Keaton. You might know him as the first Batman (star of Multiplicity). Or maybe you saw WHITE NOISE.

Lisa Lisa (ft. Full Force)- I Wonder If I Take You Home
This is a ballad which fueled the Women's Movement in the 1980s. It also represents the direction of music 2007. Kobe Bryant may or may not have listened to this song before he scored 81 points against the Raptors last season.

Sufjan Stevens - Sister Winter
Sufjan wrote the deepest Christmas song since the Peanuts Christmas music. Many fathers have driven away from their homes during the holiday season, leaving behind their wife and kids, listening to a song with this much substance. Congrats to Sufjan for writing the Best Christmas Song of the past 49 years.
