Motion Sickness - the music blog

Why motion sickness? I don't know. It's not like I literally get "nausea and dizziness induced by motion, as in travel by aircraft, car, or ship". Really, damn it, doesn't life sometimes feel like it moves too quickly where you may have to step outside for a second to unload? Yeah, I hear ya. This is why I listen to music!

MP3 post extravaganza!!!

The image “http://www.explodingdog.com/dumbpict51/huh.gif” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

So I've been slowly working my way into the world of 'yousendit.com'. It's a place that I use to send really large files (up to 1 gig), but I'm not really sure if I should use it to share music on my blog. I don't know too much about 'cookies' and all that internet jazz, but I'm under the impression that if I don't give a direct link to the files, it's somewhat okay. What I mean is, if I just add the address and ask you people to copy and paste it in the address location thingy at the top, it makes things better.

Understand?

Hmmm...anyway, the point is, is that I am going to post a bunch of tracks that have worked themselves into my tiny, little, cold heart. These songs will be here for 7 days, after which they will explode. Enjoy!!

At the Drive-In - Napoleon Solo - AHHH!!!! My favourite ATDI song and just gets better over the years. It's off the album, In Casino Out. That rolling guitar is infectious...not to mention the intensity of Cedric is simply awesome. If you haven't heard this song, or failed to notice how great it is, please do yourself a favour and listen. Thank you.

Zap Mama - Whatdidyusay - This track features the stylings of beatbox pro, Scratch, formerly of The Roots. Both Zap Mama and him work well on this song.

The Roots - Don't Say Nuthin' (Illegal Thought Process Remix) - One of the best remixes that I've heard in a while. It sounds like something The Roots would have originally done, given that the original sounds much different from their usual stylings.

Quasimoto - The Greenery - Hehehe...gotta throw in a tribute track to the electric lettuce. Madlib's helium sounding, alter-ego Quasimoto. I don't even need to smoke to feel the effects when I listen to this. The end of the song, where the guy just starts singing all crazy-like, gets me every time. I love it.

MF DOOM - Potholderz - I love the production. The subtle scratching and change-up at the beginning makes the whole song even more special than it is. Ahhhh...

Jaylib - React (feat. Quasimoto) - I'm on a Stones Throw record label kick lately, hence the quas/madlib kick. There are a few tracks from this album that I wanted to post, but I think I'll stick to this one. Jaylib is a Madlib, Jay Dee side-project that is really good....but it could've been so much better if they had other MCs on the album (keep in mind, Quas is not a guest, since it's still Madlib). It's not that they can't rap or anything, it's just that they have incredible production skills that should be showcased with an equally incredible MCs.

Coldplay - Careful Where You Stand - This is a great b-side. I find it hard to believe that they couldn't fit this on an album...but who am I to question decisions like these?

Saul Williams - List of Demands (Reparations) - The lyrics are intense, but that's a given, considering he's a spoken word poet. The beat is equally intense and gets me pumped up. If you are trying to sleep to this song, you are nuts. Period.
