Newest Music I've Got

Newest CDs I've Gotten:

Ke$ha “Animal” – When my friend told me to get this I was hesitant… mostly because if I hear “Tik Tok” one more time, I’m going to flip my lid. (Although I have to admit it’s inspired some great Facebook fan pages such as “I Wake Up in the Morning and Feel Like Breakfast” …cheap laughs ensue.) But regardless of my feelings toward the one song I figured I’d give it a shot. After listening all the way through I’ve decided that, if taken at face value, it’s pretty decent. Don’t expect any life changing lines or even quotable ones, but like I said… take it for what it is and it’s solid. She’s a total mess but her weak rhymes and electronic beats make for some “easy listening”.

Young Money “We Are Young Money” – I’ll be the first to say I hate Lil Wayne. For some reason the guy just hits me wrong so I didn’t expect much from this. To clarify: I can handle some Wayne, like if he’s featured on a song but I don’t think I could handle his own CD. The song, “Bedrock” is really what pulled me in because I get stoked every time it’s on the radio… luckily for me, the same twelve songs are always in rotation so that happens often. One song on the album I’m ashamed to admit I really like is “She Is Gone”. It’s one of the most misogynistic and violent songs I’ve ever heard but I dig it. I guess I’ll take the feeling of being socially irresponsible while listening, and just turn it down when others walk in.

Santigold “Santigold” – This isn’t new at all but I just recently got into her. One day my roommate was playing a mix CD her friend gave her, which had some Santigold songs on there. The first one was “Creator” which caught my attention from the… interesting opening, so I asked her, “Who is this?” to which she replied, “Santigold” and we kept on listening. A few songs later I asked again, “…Who is this now?” and she replied, “Santigold again.” So after two songs, I figured I should probably just check this girl out because I was definitely feeling it. It’s very dub and electronic at the same time. Out of these three CDs it’s probably the one I’ve listened to most.
