Wale - Attention Deficit

Beautiful Bliss - Wale Ft Melanie Fiona & J Cole

This song just feels good for a Saturday. Enjoy.

Beautiful Bliss Lyrics

[Wale]
When you feel like this
When you spill out hits
When you fly as a bitch
And you ride with this
And you aint bothered a it now baby

Fresh out the airport
Fresh out the tan with the clippers
Like sean lippet thinking hmm
Im trying to get it like sean get it
If lord giveth a mill and a milf like skibbit
Its slight blemishes and life system
But im giving it foundation when I write lyric
That anvil night hard mine is bright knickers
Maybe not quite the star but my hearts in it
When brett hart meet bret farve
A sharp shooter well exceeding any figure four
You see my figure more or less stick some more
On your vest then my larynx and lungs and this voice I project
My project is like what pros inject
And niggas so fly I should be droved in jets
Its ironic they call me a fresh breath no joke
You see dem boys sign me to the scope right

[J.Cole]
i fall whole to the real they wanna know just how it feel
who woulda thought a lil nigga from the ville could get a deal
and tell dem niggas at the top we want yo spot we are for real
and yet we heard you got it locked but like dem socks we on your heels
so you best be on your toes nigga
especially on your flows nigga
cause man they keep on checking for me especially all your hoes nigga
catch me on your doorstep you see me let me in
all I wanna do is eat im like the freaky lesbian
now all I wanna do ball on tv knee E S P N
they heard im bout to blow so all my enemies say lets be friends
and all these rappers know just know where im bout to go so catch me then
where all the girls that we knew scream fuck you
go let me in im definiately in a class of my own
and dinner with hov hoping that he pass the baton
he just pass the patron
and he aint giving dog is earned if you just live in dog you learn
I let you niggas see the light im like the prison yard I yearn
For that living large but mama I aint done yet
Sit back and watch your son rise
Kick back until yo son set
Forever I aint run yet and I never will
Nas told me lifes a bitch
Pac said fuck the world and I aint come yet
You up yet?
My punchlines like gut checks im raw dog
Im rough sex im on deck im up next
Im godbless im success so fuck stress
You can get the fuck from around me
And if you listening know you wondering
Where the fuck they found me
Im from the ville boy

[Wale]
Another day up in my ES
Wish it was an LS
But elastic is my wallet fuck it
I don’t be stressed like relaxed muscles
Your feedback aint flexing
And you can keep it running like a muffler
When we not in summer
They like A list actors they not no stunners
Too much practice now for me to malfunction
So any beat that function I breathe on and puncture
Leave it like a female Dijon a puncture
Waiting showing you her beauty if shes naked
Its like a view of paintin or a lakehead
This shits how beautiful my day is
Peep me how im raising up the capital for Nathan
Capital im raising like im through punctuating
Or shift keys or it I placement cause
Shift the keys get your capital raised up

The Strokes- Reptilia

this song is great. it’s a rollicking good time jolly-o. i don’t know why i broke out with the accent. whatever. i don’t need a reason! but, as i was saying, this is good times, rock out, let’s do some heroin tonight type music. i can dig it. enjoy.

He seemed impressed by the way you came in.
“Tell us a story
I know you’re not boring”

I was afraid that you would not insist.
“You sound so sleepy
just take this, now leave me”

I said please don’t slow me down
If I’m going too fast
You’re in a strange part of our town…

Yeah, the night’s not over
You’re not trying hard enough,
Our lives are changing lanes
You ran me off the road,
The wait is over
I’m now taking over,
You’re no longer laughing
I’m not drowning fast enough.

Now every time that I look at myself
“I thought I told you
this world is not for you”

The room is on fire as she’s fixing her hair
“you sound so angry
just calm down, you found me”

I said please don’t slow me down
If I’m going too fast
You’re in a strange part of our town…

Yeah, the night’s not over
You’re not trying hard enough,
Our lives are changing lanes
You ran me off the road,
The wait is over
I’m now taking over,
You’re no longer laughing
I’m not drowning fast enough.

Sliimy - Magic Game

Sliimy

Perhaps the greatest thing to happen to French electro-pop since…French electro-pro (???), Sliimy (rhymes with Jimmy) has blown up in France and the UK since the release of his debut album Paint Your Face. I didn’t know anything about him until last night when I read an article in an issue of The Advocate that had been sitting on my coffee table for a few months. They made several references to him and Prince (early Prince sound…awesome Prince-like hair…avant garde-ish) which meant I had to check him out.

So far…I’ve liked what I’ve heard but my two favorites as of today are this song and his cover of Womanizer. His CD was released stateside in September so you can pick it up here if you are so interested.

La la la la la la la. Enjoy!

Sliimy - Magic Game

you said i’m gay, but i’m cool 
maybe anorexic, but look at you 
you should taste my cupcake, it’s for you 
cause mr Sliimy can kill you with some food 
do you like to hurt me, yeah that’s cool 
but when i’m crying, it’s not you 
say thanks to the bottles for the tears cause maybe without drink you would never have tears 
congratulations cause now i have a big inspiration guys 

what kind of Magic Game can i play with you lalalala 
i whisper ‘abracadabra’ 
listening time now 
what kind of Magic Game can i play with you lalalala 

shut up ‘abracadabra’ 
hang up and listen 

they said you’re gay you’re harmful 
i know you’re so rejected but look at you 
you’re the only real smile that lights up this game 
game, play the game and cast a spell 
take a bit of kindness, but not too soon 
add a bit of anger and shake up 
you can mix and let’s see if they move 
maybe with this drink you will just find peace 
congratulations cause now i have a big inspiration guys

Fool’s Gold- Surprise Hotel

i need a change of pace. i think this is the perfect way to do it. it’s a happy-fun-good-times song sung in what i think is hebrew. you don’t get that every day. the video slightly disturbing, but the song should put a smile on your face. enjoy.

Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band - Old Time Rock And Roll

bob seger

CLASSIC!

Who doesn’t like this song?

***scans room as several hands are raised***

SHAME ON YOU. Go to the rock hall of fame and repent for your transgressions! This song is pure greatness and Seger’s muttonchops are fantastic to boot! So go ahead press play, bow your head in shame and do your penance. And then, enjoy.

Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band - Old Time Rock And Roll

Just take those old records off the shelf 
I’ll sit and listen to ‘em by myself 
Today’s music aln ‘t got the same soul 
I like that old time rock ‘n’ roll

Don’t try to take me to a disco 
You’ll never even get me out on the floor 
In ten minutes I’ll be late for the door 
I like that old time rock’n’ roll 

Still like that old time rock’n’ roll 
That kind of music just soothes the soul 
I reminisce about the days of old 
With that old time rock ‘n’ roll 

Won’t go to hear them play a tango 
I’d rather hear some blues or funky old soul 
There’s only sure way to get me to go 
Start playing old time rock ‘n’ roll 

Call me a relic, call me what you will 
Say I’m old-fashioned, say I’m over the hill 
Today’ music ain’t got the same soul 
I like that old time rock ‘n’ roll 

Still like that old time rock’n’ roll 
That kind of music just soothes the soul 
I reminisce about the days of old 
With that old time rock ‘n’ roll

The Isley Brothers- Harvest for the World

i thought today would be a good day to post this. it’s apt. things aren’t going that well in many different areas. you can immediatley think about the people of haiti, the philippines, and many in new orleans. there are things to be grateful for, though. celebrate the good things but continue to reach out to those in need. enjoy.

All babies together, everyone a seed
Half of us are satisfied, half of us in need
Love’s bountiful in us, tarnished by our greed
Oh, When will there be a harvest for the world (yeah, yeah, yeah)

A nation planted, so concerned with gain
As the seasons come and go, greater grows the pain
And far too many, feelin’ the strain
Oh, When will there be a harvest for the world (yeah-yeah, yeah)

Gather every man, gather every woman
Celebrate your lives, give thanks for your children (oh!)
Gather everyone, gather all together
Overlooking none (Overlooking none), hopin’ life gets better for the world (yeah, yeah, oh)

Dress me up for battle, when all I want is peace
Those of us who pay the price, come home with the least
And nation after nation, turning into beast
Oh, When will there be a harvest for the world

Yeah, yeah
When will there be
I wanna know now now
When will there be (harvest for the world)
A harvest (harvest for the world)
When will there be (harvest for the world)
A harvest (harvest for the world)

Jonsi- Boy Lilikoi

jonsi, the lead singer of sigur ros, will release a solo album in a month or so. this is the first single, boy lilikoi. other people who’ve heard it say it’s a departure from the music sigur ros usually  makes, and i would agree. but it isn’t so different as to feel foreign or strange. well, perhaps strange isn’t the right word. :) anyway, this song does have a much lighter and more directly optimistic tone than most of the songs he’s done with the band. i like it, though. i read he’s working with a producer who has done arrangements for other artists i like, so there’s an additional reason to check the album out when it’s released. i look forward to hearing it.

I want to be a lilikoi boy lilikoi
You grind your claws, you howl growl
Unafraid of all colour
You run, you’re free, you climb and dress trees
You reignite
You growl, you howl, you show your teeth
You bite, it’s alright

Say no more, use your eyes
The world goes and flutters by
Use your eyes, you’ll know you are
Use your eyes, the world goes and flutters by
Use your eyes, you’ll know you are

Why me, my boy, you burn so bright
Do you illuminate?
One day you’re out, you give up the fight
You slow down heart-rate

We all grow old, use your life
The world goes and flutters by
Use your life, you’ll know you are
Use your life, the world goes and flutters by
Use your life, you’ll know you are

Electricity wires are down
Rainbow colours fade into brown
I dreamt you were smiling, shifting for good
Courageous boy, now you are gone
And run past the years, no place to go
Your spirit is grand, so life goes on
You are
You are

I want to be a lilikoi-boy ooooh
You grind your claws, you howl, you growl
Unafraid of all colour 

Electricity wires are down
Rainbow colours fade into brown
I dreamt you were smiling, shifting for good
Courageous boy, now you are gone
You run past the years, no place to go
Your spirit is grand, so life goes on
You are …
You are…

The Flaming Lips- Are You a Hypnotist??

i think this song, featured on the album ‘yoshimi battles the pink robots,’ got me interested in the flaming lips. i think i heard it while riding with a friend. i quickly went from, ‘what the hell is this?’ to ‘hmmm…’ and, finally, to ‘i can dig it!’ the song wonderfully exemplifies the quirky, fun magic coyne(s) and co. produce. you know what? i’d like to hear a rapper make a mixtape over the beats from this album. that would be interesting. until then, enjoy the original.

I had forgiven you for tricking me again
But I have been tricked again -
Into forgiving you -
What is this?? Are you some kind of hypnotist??
Waving your powers around -

the sun eclipse behind the cloud…

I thought I recognized your face
Amongst all of those strangers -
But I am the stranger now
Amongst all of the recognized
What is this?? Are you some kind of hypnotist??
Waving your powers around -

the sun eclipse behind the cloud

Lady Gaga - Bad Romance (Album Version)

Gaga

The other night my roommate and I were discussing how this song would be AWESOME to vogue to and…knowing how much Gaga loves the gays…I wouldn’t be surprised if she had added all of the ooh las and rah rahs explicitly for the purpose. So…now that I have that thought in my head, I really want to see some kick ass voguing to Bad Romance. I’m also really excited that DragRace is going to be on soon so hopefully they can have a lip sync on one of the episodes to this.

If anyone can point me to a good vogue video I’d be much appreciative. And if you have no idea what I’m talking about, don’t worry about it. Just enjoy the song : )
