Soundtrack Special - BossaNova/CafeJazz

This song just makes me so happy. It has the kind of magic that makes you feel like a little kid again. It's from the soundtrack of the 2013 film, "Nebraska" and it's composed by The Tin Hat Trio. Many of you may know this unique little group from their collaborations with Tom Waits and Mike Patton. One of their members, Mark Orton, is a super underrated film score composer. If you haven't yet, go check out his works!

BONUS TRACK - TIN HAT TRIO ft. Tom Waits

Just for Fun! Boston Hardcore

I like this song. Just good ole American xHardxCorex. Have Heart is one of those straight-edge bands that I like to listen to while I drink a beer and do drugs. Ha! ... yeah, it's just for fun.

"Songs to Scream at the Sun"

3 Choir Gems

Honestly... I'm not sure how I feel about choral music. For the most part, I really can't stand choirs in modern or classical music. In gospel music, it's a must, but for example, opera? I hate opera. And Gregorian chants are cool for like one second, then I'm over it. Still, what would Howard Shore's soundtrack for The Lord of the Rings be if it didn't include those ethereal, elven vocals singing in the background. The point is, I'm feel very on-the-fence about the subject.

However, here are three choral songs which I like very much. Enjoy!


P.s. If you yourself know a choral piece that would further my opinion of the genre, please send it my way!

^This^ one is just beautiful.

^This^ one makes me tear-up.

^This^ last one gives me chills.

Listen to the whole thing and tell me if it's not creepy as fuck.

Indie Hip Hop Masterpiece Album

In the past decade, indie hip hop artist, Aesop Rock, has garnered a decent following.

With the release of albums like "None Shall Pass", "Skelethon", and most recently,
"The Impossible Kid" Aesop Rock has (in my opinion) finally broken out of the 

underground and into a more mainstream position. He is more than deserving 

of any praise given to him. Simply put, he's a genius. The most unique and 

intelligent rapper in all of hip hop history, and is sometimes closer 

to a poet/mad scientist than a "rapper". His 2001 album 

"Labor Days" is a timeless masterpiece that explores 

weary state of America's workforce.

With "Labor Days", 

the listener is pulled into an endless hourglass. 

You feel the vicious cycle of work, lost dreams, desensitization, 

materialism, consumerism, and brutal repetition. The entire album exemplifies 

a kind of escaping smoke that people live their 9 to 5 life in. It explores the way profit and 

production crush an individual's aspirations, as they chase the mirage we call the American Dream.

Go listen to it. It's 15 years old and more relevant now than ever.

... and it's just dope.

Aes Rizzle - 9 to 5er's Anthem

We the American working population
Hate the fact that eight hours a day
Is wasted on chasing the dream of someone that isn't us
And we may not hate our jobs
But we hate jobs in general 
That don't have to do with fighting our own causes
We the American working population
Hate the nine to five day-in day-out
But we'd rather be supporting ourselves
By being paid to perfect the pasttimes
That we have harbored based solely on the fact
That it makes us smile if it sounds dope
