I'm wierd, you're wierd. Let's be Mates!! (music friday)

The current is freaking amazing! even you guys who don't live in minnesota can still check it out.
it's a public radio station that plays an eclectic mix of new and old music that will blow your mind. check it out live streaming at www.thecurrent.org
some of the awesome bands i have discovered on the current ->

the decemberists newest album;
The Hazards of Love -- i still havent
listened to Her Majesty --
the title track is amazing!
smooth.




don't be fooled by the name.
i haven't heard a single swear
word in any of their songs.
Here's to The Heartless Bastards


P.O.S. awesome awesome local hip hop artist in the Twin Cities.
first song i was introduced to was... "Savion Glover" off of his album Never Better







and last but certainly not least is my new favorite: Lady Sovereign

she's a cute and funky british hip-hop artist. her beats give a whole new meaning to the general perception of hip hop. they make you feel lose and free to be yourself.
Check out Love me or Hate Me on youtube and my favorite isn't even on itunes yet (the current also gets access to alot of music before it is actually released) it's called Let's Be Mates.
and just to add to her cred she's had recording sessions with the beastie boys, and pharell.
her voice rocks and so do her thoughts about her career: "I'm not your average rapper. I've always felt that I'm different to everyone else and I never approach things the way everyone else does. It's without trying. I don't understand it."
