Frankmusik- Complete Me

I have been loving this guy for some time now, and his debut album JUST leaked and it's damn good.

The possibilities for him here in the US are pretty great, he's already pretty big in England, opening up for Pet Shop Boys there this summer.

He has really catchy, electro based songs and is big with the gay crowd, almost like a male Lady GaGa. Perez Hilton is even behind him (ew, gross mental picture.)

We are in talks to bring him to LA as we speak, so show some support on his myspace and let's try and get this dude here.

Never knew this. Passion Pit enlisted PS22 children's choir from Staten Island to provide some BGV's on Manners.



Then the choir payed their respects to Passion Pit by recording a cover of "Seaweed."

Friday Hotness #92

This Calvin Harris/High Contract Remix is a MASSIVE tune and will get you through your Friday.

Calvin Harris- Ready For The Weekend (High Contrast Remix)

The Radio Dept- David

Julien Plenti- Only If You Run

Duck Sauce- Anyway

Dam Funk- Toeachizown

Fast Life Yungstaz- Party Time

There is NO reason I should like this song as much as I do.

Manufactured teen rappers from Decatur, GA rapping about surfing at the beach? The chorus is:

Surf Party
So Gnarley
I’m so wavey
It’s crazy
Surf Party Dude
Alright
It’s Amazing
It’s freaking gnarley dude

My favorite lyric is "I used to be boogie board shorty now I'm the Big Kahuna! " Doesn't sound like this would be my cup of tea, but I fucking love this track. Its FUN, its happy and perfect for summer time. Catch me driving down Sunset Blvd pumping this for sure.

Apparently their other song is called "Swag Surfin'." Could there be a hip-hop influenced Beach Boys revival going on in rural Georgia?
