Now that the new season has started, GoT mania is at a fevered pitch. Just in case you needed a little bit more of the Stark family in your life, BBC Radio 1 has created the “Game of Moans.” This 5min spoof piece features Sansa & Matt Edmondson (not a character from Season 4) just complaining about first world problems. It never gets any more elaborate or complicated than that, but it’s amusing as hell nonetheless. Plus, I bet your GoT-obsessed friends probably haven’t consumed this piece of media yet, so get the scoop on them. And also, anyone who can rhyme being annoyed with people who don’t know how to use their/there/they’re get infinite props from me. So Matt, please find your props in NYC if/when you make it over to Gotham 😀

Metal Returns With Mashed Up Sounds & Amazing Vocals!
I wanted to show up with something different over the next week. Music you may not have run into, stuff you used to listen to, or other things generally not in your way. I think I’ve found a trio of videos that you’ll enjoy, and totally wouldn’t have found otherwise. Metal & high school angst have come a long way since I played my Korn cd over and over in high school and I wanted to illustrate how. Above, Issues reminds us that it is actually possible to combine screamo and Simple Plan-style vocals in a competent offering that I really wish I had in high school.
The Externalities of Puff Daddy.
The Grid 10 gets all the props for picking up this thread from prominent sport, hip hop & excellence forum The Coli. The review of all the terrible things that have occurred are hilarious and damning at the same time. Whether it’s Tupac, Biggie, Ciroc, Mase or the other tragedies associated with Diddy, this wraps it up nicely. Head on over to The Grid 10 for more news, jokes and music.
1996-2Pac allegedly killed by Southside Crips as revenge for a beating that was revenge for a Death Row chain being snatched for a Sean Combs bounty
1997-Notorious B.I.G. killed in Los Angeles as revenge for murders of Pac and Jake Robles
2002– MTV Making Da Band. The list of tragedies probably deserve its own thread *see Chopper Suit.
2004-Co-Creates a Rap The Vote campaign to get c00ns to support John Kerry the weakest democratic candidate since Walter Mondale. Loses to George W. Bush. Months later Katrina happens.
2007-Partners with Ciroc, causing single mothers to neglect their children and Black men to skip child support payments in an endless chase to cop his high-priced Kool Aid”
Dada Life + Metal = Born To Rage (Haters Incoming)
Just in case you thought Dada Life was getting predictable, they decided to hang out with Sebastian Bach who is doing the vocals for the re-work of their single Born To Rage. To jog your memory, this was the song that had 39 nationalized versions were released world-wide. This mammoth effort is now getting a new metallic coat of paint, with Bach doing good work. The video is out and I wonder if they got Bach to sing 39 different languages. Because global metal + Dada Life? That sounds like a movement I can get behind. Enjoy & grab the original on Beatport here.
Mobb Deep Announce New Tour! Russia, Germany, France Holland & Denmark Watch Out!
Mobb Deep, rulers of the Queensbridge projects have returned. Their style of rap, coming out of Queens projects is different to to the style of rappers coming out of projects in Brooklyn and the Bronx. Their venerable The Infamous turned 20 this week, and to celebrate, they’re going on a European tour that makes me annoyed I live on this side of the pond. Again. Get at it and kudos to FACT for dropping the news and enjoy the hell out of it you crazy euro hip hoppers.
Punk Words by Neil Hiborn “How to Get Beat by the Cops”
This guy has burned off more talent being a white-hot fire of wordplay, passion & outrage. The astonishing reminder that cops used to just bust heads for listening to music and/or being an ethnic or sexual minority is delivered with a fury that you don’t hear much anymore.
It’s like they have a fetish for killing dinosaurs and very colorful birds”
The words & emotion flow like a fire hose, reminding me of my earliest GA shows and my fear of being caught outside CBGBs without too many friends. In case he seems familiar, he did a love poem as well that went viral a little while back. Super talented and I will always say “Fuck Yea Punk Rock.”
RIP Godfather of House, Frankie Knuckles.
If you don’t know by now, Frankie Knuckles has died. I’ll update this page as details come, but it was reported around 10:45 PM EST last night. I really can’t say anything other than, the Godfather of House is dead. The man who got the job to spin The Warehouse in Chicago, ground zero for house music, is no longer with us. Dead at 59, far, far too soon. I’m just going to post The Origins of House from Mixmag & his Boiler Room set, which occurred a few months ago.

The link above contains Michael Jackson singing & beatboxing the multiple layers & harmony of Beat It. Because, when you hear it in your mind the way he did, you can create it the way he does. Explaining the lines and really understanding where each sound needs to go is something I always welcome. Not much to say besides hit that up & enjoy your weekend.
The Origins Of House By Mixmag & The Bloody Beatroots
I love the Bloody Beatroots. Like, I really do, and he took some time make this with Mixmag. The story of House music in 8 minutes, featuring the people who made it happen. Gorgeously cut and edited, I’m super glad Mixmag is doing this. Can’t wait to see what they tackle next.
Techno Institution Green Velvet Releases New Track!
Someone owes someone some money in your party group. Green Velvet released a new track as part of their new compilation that’s dropping. Shake It, a collaboration with Harvard Bass is pure techno goodness, driving 4:36 of old school relentless synthy bass pounding into your nostalgic faces. I can’t say I’ve ever heard of Harvard Bass, but if you’ve gotten Green Velvet’s attention, then good on you my friend. (via EDMTunes)
