HalloWeakEnd

Sorry for the wait, busy weekend, and horrible, because I lost my phone and glasses. So I couldn't get around to finishing up and perfecting the Halloweekend Mix, but since we're all ok with a little bit of error, I'm still going to post the mix for you guys to check out, and download if you think you're ready to settle down make its relationship with your ears a more steady and permanent thing.

Comment whatever you think if you want, criticism is always ok, you can even do it anonymously in case you think I'll slay you.

SHIELD YOUR EYES, OPEN YOUR EARS

/\ I'm here to penetrate your mind with my saber and then fill it with dirty electro. "That's not a saber!" Shut up nobody cares about correct sword terminology. I would've called it a rapier but then how inappropriate does that sentence sound? Exactly.

HalloWeakEnd - Tay

(See what I did there? Weak End Weekend because I lost my phone. But I hope it was fun for you! and I hope this mix is fun enough for you too. If it's not up to your standards, sorry hotshot, there's still better - and less depression-over-lost-phone influenced - mixes to come)

Tracklist:

Hahaha - Smf

(I love this kid)

You Used to Hold Me (APproject Remix) - Calvin Harris

Saturday 'Morning' Cartoon

I know there haven't been that many posts lately, but that's because I've been working on the TayToday HalloWeekend Special mix for you guys, like, I'm a nice guy! But just to show I'm sorry if you've been checking and not receiving any newness (you could check the archives though!)...

But anyway, today I figured I'd hit you with the TayToday version of Saturday Morning Cartoons. 'Cause a long time ago, as a little Tay, I'd always love to watch the cartoons early in the morning on Saturdays, and many other kids have felt those same sentiments.

So now, in ode to that, I'm gonna post a dope ass cartoon. And since we've grown up/you might not care about watching a cartoon on a music blog, I chose a trippy ass music video shown to me by my maiin (two i's on purpose) man the Caged Jizzdale, aka Keiji Drizzdull or Kevin Garnett as you may know him (celeb alert).

Maybe even smoke before this video if you're into that! (...no really, do it, best wake and bake you'll have)

I mean, the lyrics are "We call that a joint, we call that a joint" repeatedly

The Music Scene - Blockhead

(The song is pretty ill, I like the "We call that a joint" part, but for me it's really about the video though, the visuals and coordination with the beat are way too sick. I bet this could get somebody back into smoking weed who had quit, or be on like an advertisement for LSD. Na, I'm wrong, it could be an advertisement against it, 'cause this could give a natural high. Wow TayToday deep thinking!)

Two'sDay: Two Versions!

Rap on Sunday, Dubstep and Techno on Monday, and now for a Two'sDay Tuesday, you get two dope ass music videos, the original and the remixed video, corresponding with two versions of Mark Ronson & the Business Intl's "Bang Bang Bang", a funky techno pop rap soul song that is sure to set the tone for a good week.

Funky

Bang Bang Bang - Mark Ronson & the Business Intl

(This song is smooth, well constructed, well layered, hits the right tones and spots with a seemingly perfectly suited cast of members due to beat, singing, and rap corresponding seamlessly. Seemingly seamless. I like it, I think you might too)

Funkier

Bang Bang Bang (Count & Sinden Tribal Horn Remix) - Mark Ronson & the Business Intl

(This version is faster, more instrumental, and a tribal - jungle - lovemaking dance tune at that. The count in Count & Sinden is Herve, who's a Tay2Day legend - peep his remix of "Under the Sun". No actually, if you haven't heard it, search it now, it's been posted more than once here too. "Oh, but I just started reading tay2day, I couldn't have heard it yet!" NO EXCUSES!)

Fun Day Monday

Sunday was all rap, including the Kanye West film which you should check out if you haven't yet (it's easy! Scroll down!),

so today's going to be a Harsh-in-the-Best-Way-Possible return to electro music, specifically some dirty dubstep because I promised it to a couple of friends

(including the fellow raveman Caveman, Funabetic - the 1/2 of Leezy, and the best debating German I know - De Vun en Only Schneidah)

The Vicious

Fight - DJ Fresh

(I was never big on the more high pitched sounding bass in dubstep, but this song literally blew my face off when it dropped and now I'm a fan of the higher pitched bass, it's not too high pitched to be screeching, but it's at the right level where it's still in-your-face thump and wobble down your spine, and I loove the girl voiced "FIGHT!" right before the drop)

The Less-Vicious

You Used to Hold Me (APproject Remix) - Calvin Harris

("You used the whole meat, you used the whole meat, you used the whole meat, beef - beef eater" - Youtube comment, listen to the song and I think you'll get why I thought it was funny enough to quote here. This song is good, and it's an easier listen than "Fight" if you're ever not in the mood for raging adrenaline music. Psh none of my readers are ever not in that mood... Kidding, we only like Beethoven)

Take a Trip With Yeezy Airlines

Kanye West's new 'music video' "Runaway" came out yesterday in its full length, which is about 34 minutes.

You may be thinking "But wait, that's a long ass music video" and you'd be right. However, "Runaway" isn't a music video for one song, and it's not just about the music. It's a 'film' that Kanye directed which features songs from his next album, and it's fucking dope.

I was skeptical at first to be honest, like, Lady Gaga does her artistic music videos, with "Alejandro" and "Telephone" where she managed to tarnish my view of Beyonce, so there's already been creative musicians going artistic with long music oriented films before, and I wasn't really feeling it and that was like 10 minutes. So a 34 minute long film? I wasn't sure it would be worth it, I figured I'd watch it and maybe skip through it.

Then, I started watching, and when the female narrator (Nicki Minaj's english accent? It fits the purpose) is talking and rhyming and hitting it right, and the opening beat kicks in, and the opening rap by Kanye, I really started feeling it, especially the "You ain't got no Yeezy?" echo and then it hits that "Can we get much higher?" chorus, I mean, I'm not really that into the feathered girl stuff, but from the beginning I was HOOKED. Fish style baby.

And I'm not gonna give you a whole play by play of the film, but needless to say, I ended up watching the entire thing and didn't regret it, the music is dope, the visuals are sick, props to Yeezy for it - except for some corny parts.

So here you go, enjoy:

(Since it's the clean version, the censoring during "Runaway" are so corny)

My favorite parts are the intro, obviously, when he starts jamming out with the samples like at the beginning of "Runaway" at 5:56, especially when it leads to the sampling while the kid is running leading the red smoke behind him, dope!

And cause I couldn't help but give you songs to download, here's that Yeezy:

Runaway (Noise Vocal Sample Edit) (Ft. Pusha T) - Kanye West

(This is my favorite version of the song, the one he played at the VMAs with him going to work with the samples, sounds fresh to death. Wow haven't said that in a while. Or ever maybe, until now! Fresh to death cherry!)

Runaway (Ft. Pusha T) - Kanye West

(The version without the samples, in case you like your music with less samplage?)

"Stupid, but what the fuck do I know? I'm just a chi-town nigga with a Nas flow"

Dark Fantasy - Kanye West

(Easily my favorite song in the film, it was the best introduction 'cause of the song and set the tone in my opinion, had you remember that it was Kanye and that he's fresh and a rapper, Kanye on the mic rather than Kanye singing is definitely the way to get my approval, oh, and mentions of Nas work too)

Bobby Ray on a Sunday

A lot of people are big fans of B.o.B. (a.k.a. Bobby Ray) nowadays after his hit song "Nothing on You" came out. But few of those many people know anything about him, or knew any of his music from back in the day.

So I'ma lay it down. In summary, he used to only be called B.o.B., during his more hood-oriented rap phase, and then to show his move to a different genre of rap, he tried the Bobby Ray name change.

Basically B.o.B. made some hood ass good ass songs back in the day too that you probably haven't heard yet, so I'm here to change that, with two songs for now:

I'm That Ni**a (Ft. T.I.) - B.o.B.

(One of my favorite produced tracks, and maybe my favorite eaaarly B.o.B. song due to the beat, chorus, and lyrics, wait, so due to the whole song! the beat runs so smooth and the chorus is catchy as hell)

Lonely People - B.o.B.

(When I found this I was crazy surprised, "a B.o.B. remix of "Lonely People"!! This should be epic!!" and then I heard it and was disappointed, but, it's still good, and probably the best hood remix of "Lonely People" out. The lyrics are sharp and sad too, he does his thing on this track, fitting the beat like a tailor)

F-Rye Day

Why is this post called Rye Day you may be wondering...

Is it because it's an acoustic post so the music is more natural like rye bread compared to white bread?

Is it because the music is made by brown people and not white people like rye bread compared to white bread?

Or is it because these songs have alot of fiber in them?

No, no, and no.

In fact, these songs are thoroughly electric and thus unnatural (they're like the animals you'd find bred in an abandoned - and very rusty - chainsaw factor that became flooded with nuclear waste, unnatural indeed).

The color of the artists isn't paid attention to at all, so the name doesn't represent brown artists (sorry, no shout out brown friends).

And no, there's not an exceptional amount of fiber, although you may shit yourself anyway.

Actually, this post is called Rye Day because rye bread "is typically denser than bread made from wheat flour" (to quote Wikipedia), and it's a friday, and a fryeday is clever, and these songs are denser than your average run-of-the-mill songs, so here, plunge your face in some electric cake perfect for a pre-drink wherever you are (except for that tea party with your baby sister.)

Wildstyle Method (ft. 40 Love) - Bassnectar

(This is dirty, loud, and taking over all your bodily orifices, sounds like your worst nightmare, but since it's completely safe - may cause deafness if you play it too loud, don't sue me - it's dope as hell rather than scary and painful. I love the part at 1:11 after the tough drop, "Wildstyle!")

Steppin Out Undertaker (Kaskade EDC 2010 Mashup) - Kaskade vs. Wolfgang Gartner

(This is much easier on your ears than the Bassnectar track, but the drops still fucking ram your face like a cinderblock. Ok a soft cinderblock, like a bouncy one? I don't know, just realized I should probably make songs seem less painful or noone will want to listen. But you should listen, it's dope, Kaskade back on his grind with a Wolfgang mashup? Sick combo)

New Drug

Fuck cocaine, all I do is lines of acid. Wanna try? Here, and the great thing is, it's reusable!

It's like going green, but with dirty electro, going mean baby.

Acid Line (Tom Deluxx Remix) - Jay Robinson

(Acid, acid, acid... the drop is sick. It's like a come up, and then kablam! Euphoria! I've never tried drugs but I'm sure this is what they must sound like) (muahaha)

Boi's Noize

Here's some of da boi's noize, also known as two songs heard from the Boys Noize Electric Zoo set.

For a good twosday, I'm letting you get your ears bassified with some lovely humps of rhythm that don't come from the Black Eyed Peas

(see what I did there? Other artist's song reference points! Yeah!... "My Humps" in case you really didn't get it)

Lemonade - Boys Noize & Erol Alkan

(This song is one of those that remind you of a sick time, nostalgia-inducing hits, and then hits you in the face at the drop and makes, I mean MAKES you have a good time in the present. Wow that almost sounded philosophical. Right? Ok maybe not but whatever, I was distracted by the song)

Sweet Light (Boris Dlugosch Remix) - Boys Noize

(This has such a funky bass line in my opinion, it's one of those basslines that just sounds like a giant blob bouncing all around you, get loose and fluid to this, it's basically begging you to)

And since you're probably wondering what that image is from, behold, the Herculoids!

Wemicks

No posts since last Wednesday so today this is my 2nd post, 2nd post, 'cause I'm nice like that! You don't even have to say thank you, it's my duty.

And today I have some good remixes for you!

One remix of a sick popular techno hit, and two of a less popular song, but not less appeasing to your ears' feelings.

Also, in case you didn't get it

Wemicks = Remix, in baby terms.

Fire in Your New Shoes vs. One - Kaskade vs. Swedish House Mafia

(Kaskade is well respected by many techno heads, as are Swedish House Mafia - house heads if you prefer. So Kaskade's mix of the summer hit "One" has big shoes to fill considering the reputations of them both, and it provides, vocals matching the beat in a sick way)

Sweet Disposition (YG's Return of the King Mix) - the Temper Trap

(This is my preferred remix of "Sweet Disposition", really bubbly and happy sounding, almost surrounds you like a field of neon bobbing daisies? Kna mean?)

Sweet Disposition (Axwell & Dirty South Remix) - the Temper Trap

(This is probably the more known remix of "Sweet Disposition", it's pretty good but in my opinion it's less of a remix, more of a song sampling the vocals at certain points, it's still good though, don't get me wrong. OR I'LL GET YOU WRONG)

Motown Meets Madness

Went to a Motown themed bar the other day for my friend Jazz's birthday, and in honor of that I'm doing a semi-Motown-inspired post!

/\ Sad kitty!

Mr.Postman - Cragga

(The dubstep remix of the classic "Please Mr.Postman" by the Shirelles, this remix is so fucking dope, excuse my language but it really is. I heard the original the other night, and it made me NEED to hear this remix. You'll understand why after you listen. So get to it)

I Want You Back vs. Best I Ever Had - Jackson 5 vs. Drake

(My good friend Kellysha's fav. song is "I Want You Back" and we danced the hell out of it, she also likes Drake, so here's a dope mashup in case you slept on it)

Barbra Sigmand

You all remember the great song "Barbra Streisand" by Duck Sauce, well here's a remix for those of you who like a little bit of bass with your food.

Or a lot of it.

"Oh the bass! There's just.. so.. much"

Barbra Streisand (Sigma Remix) - Duck Sauce

(This remix does quite the job at adding some serious thumping bass to an otherwise very happily un-bassified track. Not saying this one is better, but I enjoy some bass with my pasta)

(That wasn't supposed to make sense btw)

Finally!

I'm uber sorry about the lack of posts this weekend, I was back home in New Yawk so I didn't have enough time to hit chu guys up with a post. Anyway, I'm back in Montreal, and I have some time, so, you can finally get that juicy music you been waitin' for.

Finally Juicy - Biggie Smalls vs. Pretty Lights

(I dig this track. In a similar way to the picture above. Pretty Lights could be Biggie's reincarnation the way they work well together? Eh. Don't take that as a serious theory, I haven't perfected it yet)

Hug a Dub

My roommate asked for some recommended dubstep, so I'm going to post a couple quick hits for you all to smash your heads on, at his request. All doctor's bills go to him for head injuries, not me, this is a warning to your parents.

Also,

DubStep is a good idea considering I'm going back to New York this weekend and seeing the people who enjoy a good dub to the face and some good dub to the ears (see what I did there? Ha!)

Panther (Marvul Remix) - Barletta

(I love the Zeds Dead remix of "Panther" and it's a huge crew classic, but this remix is an absolute murder with bass being the weapon of choice. The perfect crime in my opinion)

Panther (Zeds Dead Remix) - Barletta

(Just because it deserves the recognition it deserves. This song would be in a textbook on how to do good dubstep)

Kickstarts (Bar 9 Remix) - Example

(This song is a hit right now, with good reason. This has some serious bass hitting you when it drops. I don't like the rapping part that much but it lasts for a very short time so I survive. The video is cool enough to be posted)

Eastern Jam - Chase & Status

("Roll me another J", tell me those aren't the lyrics. I dare you. Dope dub song)

BraykBawt

Here's a really ill video for "Baby I'm Yours" by Breakbot, and the ColorBlaster remix for download below! What a combo package!

Baby I'm Yours (Colorblaster Remix) - Breakbot

(Really good, happy vibed song, I prefer it over the original 'cause I like the electronic part, it's good shit mah good people!)

But I'm Fine

Tough Sunday yo, maybe not for you guys, but for me, I got mad work to do and shit, but, I gotchu with some ill tracks to keep you going.

A newish rap song I'm sure you haven't heard yet, as well as the legendary song it reminds me of.

And a techno bumpfest to round it all off.

Get your ears wet.

Never Gonna be My Friend (Ft. Fembot) - Matt Brevner

("So go ahead and cry me a river, I'ma build a canoe" I really dig this track, clever lyrics in my opinion, a nice slow flow that's smooth on the beat, to be honest, it reminds me of "Stan" by Eminem in terms of how the chorus works and the beat and overall slow rhythm, kna mean?!)

/\ Sorry if this makes you cry, I apologize deeply

Stan (Ft. Dido) - Eminem

(In case you don't already have it, here's the legendary, and I mean LEGENDARY song "Stan" that I said "Never Gonna be My Friend" reminded me of it. Different subject matter, but common theme you know? Like sadness and shit. Haha, but really, this song is too good to not have, so just download if it's not in your library)

This is the techno one, so you can mourn with "Never Gonna be My Friend" and "Stan", but then get over that shit cause let's face it, you're in the fucking house.

Who's in the House (Chuckie Remix) - Chris Kaeser

(There's not even much to say about this track, it's just an electric song that does what it's meant to do and doesn't play around, it's not a little kid, it's a big boy track, step out of the sandbox and into the cardboard box you dirty homeless musichead - fresh build up, fresh drop, out of the box and now you're in the fucking house!)

fRAWday

It's not a Friday, it's a F-RAW-Day, cause' it's the end of the week, so we celebratin', am I right or am I right?

In the spirit of this fRAWday, and since I'm seeing ZEDS DEAD tonight, I decided to hit your little faces with some serious musical ferocity.

No really, these songs aren't light on the brain, you might even forget kittens existed... puppies too.

Furious Friday

My Name is Skrillex - Skrillex

(This is rawer than salmonella infected chicken meat, get your sickness induced)

Vibrate (Sound of Stereo Remix) - Proxy

(Don't tell your mom on me for having de-purified your virgin ears, you could've just listened to the Ok Go post instead. This is pure bass madness, badness my friends)

In Honor of Tonight

*ICYSOI*

Panther (Zeds Dead Remix) - Barletta

(An ultimate classic, ultimate crew song, In Case You Slept On it, I don't know how you could have, but in case you did, here's this shit, from dudes I'm seeing tonight.)
