Fleet Foxes

“Grown Ocean”

Conversation I had today:

Me: “So…free beer tonight.”

Mr. Cole Evan Spear: “BAH that’s right!”

Me: “In the words of Incubus, are you in?”

CES: “Wow. Haha.”

Me: “Ya like that? I was pretty pleased with myself.”

CES: “It was a great effort on your part.”

Solid, simultaneously upbeat and sad new track from Death Cab.

Death Cab for Cutie

“Some Boys”

This one has to be my first game-commercial-jam. Needless to say, it earned it.

This is not, however, the first time that Mortal Kombat has met techno with awesome results (reminder: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAwWPadFsOA&feature=related).

Skrillex

“Reptile”

(Mortal Kombat commercial)

Two awesome bits about this jam:

1. The video starts with a seizure warning.
2. Rihanna at 2:43. Wow.

Kanye West

“All of the Lights” (feat. Rihanna and Kid Cudi)

“They should arrest you

Or whoever dressed you”

Had this one stuck in my head all weekend.

Fabolous

“You Be Killin Em”

Older jam but still awesome. Plus, the video is great.

Peter, Bjorn & John

“Young Folks” (feat. Victoria Bergsman)

An interesting pull from a Cold War Kids YouTube playlist courtesy of Mr. Phil Miller.
