In keeping with celebrating New York today. Here is a video from Saadi & Bajah
“According to Saadi, “Lights Up NYC” deals with the relationship every artist has with the struggle to live and create in NYC. It was inspired Pupa Bajah’s story of coming to New York with the Dry Eye Crew from Sierra Leone. Bajah and Boshra met at an Antibalas show in Brooklyn, immediately went back to Saadi’s studio in the East Village and ”Lights Up NYC” was born.”
I’m only going to watch something if I keep seeing the same name popping up on blogs in my inbox and such. So here it Tyler , The Creator’s video for “Yonkers” . An aptly titled song because via Stereogum @fucktyler: “To People Who Wonder Why I Named It YONKERS; I’m A Fan Of NY, And When i Made The Instrumental, It Reminded Me Of My First Time Out There.”
Yonkers? I never really thought that Yonkers was the ultimate representation of New York. But Lady GaGa is from Yonkers and her new single “Born This Way” was released today via Target . So maybe that tie in was the reason for the midnight release of Tyler, The Creator’s video.
Tyler The Creator showed up on the Lykke Li’s “I Follow You” remix yesterday too. This guy is clearly working all angles.

@Oldschoolbrian I hated going to work. I started my own home business and now make 7k a month working 4 days a week HomeCashFlowSystem .com - posted on 05/02/2012 18:47:48If not, let the Alabama Shakes remind you. They’re selling out shows across the country and their debut album isn’t even out for another couple months. I managed to see these blues-infused soul grabbers play a jam packed show at the Indy in San Francisco last night. Best overpriced scalped ticket I ever bought! Don’t [...]
Continuing work on my best of heard in 2011, next up is M83 “Midnight City”. My complete spotify playlist can be heard here. Separating the fact that this song is used in a Victoria’s Secret commercial. it’s still pretty great. It was produced by Justin Meldal Johnson who also produced my favorite Big Sir remix [...]
