Anyone who has ridden in my car this past weekend will know that I’m completely obsessed with Freelance Whales. It is like the follow-up Postal Service album we never got — but still unique at the same time. In complete joy I’ve found a hip hop-ized version of the song. I’m loving when indie artists get this treatment and I’m told this was produced by a member of Passion Pit…awesome! High Five!

Hoodie Allen is a rapper sampling some of my favorite songs. His sampling of “I Am Not A Robot” by Marina and the Daimonds was simply superb. Now he has taken to sampling Two Door Cinema Club, one of the most interesting bands of 2010. Looking forward to hearing Hoodie Allen’s full album! High Five!

I can slowly find my musical tastes shifting toward the house genre. And I must say that vampire weekend’s lead vocalist, Ezra Koenig, works beautifully in the house genre. Johan Wedel is a genius for bringing all this magic together. High Five!

This is weird, because I’m not a hip hop kind of guy and yet I’m posting about two in one day! But this is an awesome mashup of a popular hip hop song with classical sounds. Feels like strings from an action movie — gives this song way more epicness. High Five! (No wonder they used it for football)

Everytime I eat cereal, I hear this song in my hear. Thanks a lot Ping Pong Playa. High Five! (I think)
