WONGIE HIP HOP SONG OF THE WEEK: travis scott - antidote

travis scott - antidote
with a list of mentors like kanye west and jay z who are more than keen to help this newbie rapper, travis scott is coming into the rap scene with some serious buzz behind him. throw in the fact that his current single 'antidote' is crazy hypnotic (with killer lyrics to boost) and you've got yourself one to watch for the rest of 2015 and beyond. hot damn this song is cool!

VIDEO PREMIERE: miley cyrus and her dead petz - dooo it!

miley cyrus and her dead petz - dooo it!
with a budget of $50,000, miley unleashed her secret music project, miley cyrus and her dead petz (which features collaborations with big sean, ariel pink and sarah barthel of phantogram) immediately after world premiering the song 'dooo it!' on stage at this years mtv vma awards. though this release isn't part of her major label contract (they didn't know about the album until recently), it's definitely an interesting look into the kind of non-conforming musical artist miley cyrus wants to be in the years to come. it's wackadoo but that's not a bad thing!

if you want to hear the rest of the psychedelic album (all 23 tracks!!), you can listen to the whole thing here!

WEEKEND CATCH UP: lana del rey - west coast / shades of cool (audio premiere)

with these two songs, you get a glimpse of the 70's cinematic dreamy soundtrack that will be the upcoming lana del rey album 'ultraviolence' (inspired by 'the clockwork orange' by anthony burgess). it's going to be a musical adventure if you ask me, rendering me totally curious!

CATCH UP FRIDAYS: beach house - wishes

beach house - wishes
it's a halftime show on acid! to be honest, every video should feature actor ray wise lip synching to it from now on. not only does he add a sense of melancholia to the proceedings, but there is something wonderfully captivating about the weirdness of it all! directed by the comedian eric wareheim (of tim & eric), just turn this one into a full page HD version and enjoy!
