Browsing in Justin Timerblake

Well I haven’t blogged lately because I haven’t really had the time to click on anything remotely entertaining in the past 2 weeks. With a move from LA to NY, a new job at PageSix.com which went under as of yesterday, a move to The New York Post, and now unpacking all of boxes in my apartment. I am finally able to let my brain take a big huge stinky pop-culture poo. So here we go. My favorite things online for your downloading pleasure….

1) Nelly feat. Fergie - Party People - Party People is Nelly’s new single from his upcoming album Brass Knuckles. It’s a crazy banger produced by Polow Da Don, and featuring the Black Eyed Peas’ Fergie. Hopefully this single makes more of an impact on radio than the lackluster Wadsyaname.

2) Amanda Overmyer - Back in the U.S.S.R. - A hot little number from one of the Top 12 on this seasons American Idol.

3) Madonna - 4 Minutes (Ft. Justin Timberlake & Timbaland) - If you havn’t sean a recent commerical with this song in it, or turned on your FM dial…then shame on you! However, if you have you know exactly what all the hype is about. This may be my favorite find of March.

4) Santana ft. J.Lo & Baby Bash- ‘This Boy’s Fire’ - After the success of the first single ‘Into The Night’ featuring Chad Kroeger, Santana will be releasing ‘This Boy’s Fire’ featuring Jennifer Lopez and Baby Bash as his second single to Pop Radio. The song is sure to be Jennifer Lopez first hit in a long while and maybe will spark more interest in her next releases. The radio-edit of the song is a bit different than the album version- different beginning, and added beats and verses- so check it out! It’s definitely a hit song in the making.

5) Mariah Carey ft. The-Dream - Touch My Body (Remix)
I almost didn’t post this… I am scared of Mariah, as any blogger should be. But I sucked it up and decided it won’t be so bad if I let the world know the latest skankilicious jam freaking its way into my heart.

6) Jesse McCartney “Leavin’” (Bimbo Jones Radio Mix) - Look what Summerland resident has moved out of mommy’s house and is now playing with the big boys. Sans blonde locks and squeeky voice, this may be my favorite of his crap-ass collection.

7, 8, 9, 10 Need no Explanation! REMIXES BABY!

7) Ratatat - Wildcat (E*Vax Remix)
8) Menomena - Weird (Dekoder Remix)
9) Outkast - BOB (Diplo Remix)
10) Cadence Weapon - House Music (Bird Peterson Southbound Remix)

I love love love mashups, especially when DJs take two of my favs and make another fav, its like when beautiful people have beautiful babies! There are tons out there, some a lot better than others, but here are a few that take the cake! So download the following, brought to you by the guys over at Pretty Much Amazing!

 

 

Mixer master Icky lays it smooth with Ms. Alicia Keys, Biggie Smalls, Marvin Gaye, and to top it off our favorite beehive yielding whack-off, Amy Winehouse.

MP3 | Alicia Keys vs Biggie Smalls vs Marvin Gaye vs Amy Winehouse - No Tears Dry On Their Own

The next mashup is one of the best of the year, if not of this century. Parisian DJ Moule proves he deserves the status given to Mark Ronson, and Justice with his star-studded gem.

MP3| CSS vs Velvet Underground vs LCD Soundsystem vs Chemical Brothers - Can’t Stand Dance

Is everyone ready for Alive 2007? It’s out in early December. In honor if Daft Punk’s nonstop sonic high, LA’s own DJ Shyboy mashes the duo up with pop’s biggest star, at the moment, Justin Timberlake. Woo hoo.

MP3| Daft Punk vs Justin Timberlake - What Goes Around The World

To be honest, I haven’t seen or heard a better all-female mashup like the captivating track taken from Wax Audio’s Mashopolis collection.

MP3 | Tori Amos vs Bjork vs PJ Harvey vs Massive Attack - Dissolved By The Water All These Years

This next one gives me goosebumps! Such a perfect ambient cut ready for the creeping winter. Arty Fufkin gorgeously offers this tribute to France’s Air, with chilling vocals from the ever-surprising Lily Allen.

MP3 | Air vs Lily Allen - All I Need’s A Smile

To wrap things up, lets mix the indie rock sounds of PrettyMuchAmazing!’s band of the moment, Bloc Party with the scintillating Fergie. Bloc Party’s most vital track, “Banquet” is a mixer’s dream, it sounds heavenly with just about anything smeared over it, under it, beside it… you get it, right? It is most interesting to hear Fergie’s whiny ‘Fergalicious’ spread over Bloc Party’s undeniably catchy, edgy dance-riffs and slick drums. Courtesy of DJ Schmolli.

MP3 | Bloc Party vs Fergie - Blocalicious
