Katie Kim - Pause
Katie Kim is a band comprised of a singer, Katie Sullivan, and a pianist and a cellist. I stumbled upon her delicious voice only today. Here is what the critic's have said about her debut album Twelve:
"Katie Kim - Twelve - the debut solo album from katie sullivan is a beautifully intimate collection of songs centred around sullivans beautifully husky voice. The album has a similar kind of intimacy to the likes of Mazzy Star with hints of the early aggression of PJ Harvey or the more folky based late night feel of Cat Power. The album features some lovely background instrumentation with subtle touches of slide guitar, brushed drums and mellow electronic effects. Its that kind of eclectic collection that reminds of the glory days of labels like 4AD and their collaborative This Mortal Coil projects. It really is a wonderful collection of laid back late night sounds featuring a voice to die for "Pause by KATIE KIM

Seiji - Yesman
This is the Japanese music producer, Seiji. He also plays the bass in the band, Tokyo Jihen.. so its nathan. The rhythm is befuddled and the message is consistent. Vibing isn't a choice with Seiji... it's a demand. Civilian

Samiyam - Sam Baker's Album
Brainfeeder's latest drop is the sophomore effort from Samiyam. While he isn't a very familiar name (outside of his collaboration with his close friend FlyLo, FLYamSAM), this record feels like the one that's gonna propel him into the bigtime. The lowkey minimalist electronica is definitely reminiscent of other acts on the label, but it's fresh and it bumps. Roll the windows down and let it alter your mindset.
Get the album here, or head over to NPR to sample the whole thing first.
Araabmuzik- Electronic Dream
To follow up on that vid of him in the studio, the new Araabmuzik album Electronic Dream is up on iTunes. The title's a good description of the sound, as it's closer to dreamy trance music than the typical instrumental hip-hop album.

Earl Sweatshirt Still Thinks His Mom's A Cunt
For those who remember the great piece posted by doc about Earl and the corresponding New Yorker article, well, perhaps it's time to call shenanigans. Tyler Craven, a Virginia native who attended Coral Reef Academy in Samoa with Earl, did an interview with Complex about Earl (who he knows and refers to by his government name, Thebe) and life at the boarding school. It's a must read interview as it dives in to life at the school, the relationship between Craven and Earl, and much more. Here are a few parts that I found particularly interesting:
Complex: What would he say about Odd Future and Tyler?
Tyler Craven: He called Tyler his brother and said that they'd do anything for each other. He talked about the OF swag. About the atheist, murderous, wildass fuck mentality they got and we all love. But you can't just be told about his unique style. You gotta see it. He was really humble about his prodigy status, though. He honestly just called his mom a cunt and a bitch repeatedly for sending him there. He would just say, “Who does that?” Especially knowing who he is. He really didn’t know why he was sent there. He knew his mom's reason for doing it, but he was very far from understanding it. There is no understanding it because it doesn’t make sense.

STS - STSisGOLD
TiRon & Ayomari - Du Gör Mig Bra (You Complete Me)
Blue Valentine
My cousin Alex Atkins' told me about this movie in December, but it was only playing in like NY and LA. His teacher produced it so he got put on it. I could never get my hands on it in Europe, but I finally watched it last night. Both Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams (who got nominated for best actress for her performance) are incredible. Some of the best acting and chemistry I have ever seen. No exaggeration. They lived in a house for a month with this little girl before the film for preperation and worked on developing their characters (Williams for 6 years before they shot the film and Gosling for 5). Filmmaker Derek Cianfrance penned the script and directed, but he has a kind of voyeuristic style... like he just kicks it and watches. In the bonus features of the DVD, Ryan Gosling compares him to a National Geographic photographer who waits in a tree for like 5 days just to get a shot of a bird. One of the most powerful scenes of the film is when Gosling sings with a Ukulele. He has a band called Dead Man's Bones. All the music in the movie is by Grizzly Bear though. It's worth checking out... i cannot recommend the movie enough. See the trailer after the jump if you're a bitch.
Washed Out- Amor Fati
Washed Out - Amor Fati (not the video) from Sub Pop Records on Vimeo.
Washed Out's long awaited debut LP Within and Without is out July 12 on Sub Pop. "Amor Fati" is a bit of a departure from the hazy production on his first EP, but shows that he's still capable of making blissed out pop.

I'm gunna say this once on here... I FUCKIN HATE TRAILERS. They fuck you up. They create obnoxious expectations, give away crucial moments and lines and often set a tone that the movie doesn't hold. That being said... a lot of people don't want to risk investing themselves in something for two hours without doing a little preliminary research. I understand that... but watching the trailer is not the only way. Look at some photographs and read a 1 sentence synopsis... and if you're getting a recommendation from a Plug God--- HAVE FAITH.

Battles | Wall Street | A Take Away Show from La Blogotheque on Vimeo.
Recently, Battles dropped a new album under the name Gloss Drop. It's good. I saw them live at the Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona; where they played close to all of their new material. People were freaking out. I was freaking out. Their music instilled this movement in the crowd that made people do some sort of heavy electronic meets 50's rock dance. Good times were had by all.

Jesse Boykins III - Prototype 3010, A Short Film
In a time where life is often guided by misconception and tainted love its hard to truly find someone who is there for you for all the right reasons. No matter how you deliver your heart to a person, you still have to wait for them to open it up. I came up with this concept to inspire honesty. I've learned through life, communication is everything when you're in a relationship. Take these visuals as an example of how something could be if there is no truth between two parties. She/He is your prototype and could be so much more if you allow it. Never Take The Love Of Your Believer For Granted. Much Thanks to Andre 3000

M.I.A. - Born Free (Official Video)
M.I.A.'s "Born Free" video has turned some heads and gotten her music banned in some countries. It was written by M.I.A. and directed by French director Romain Gavras. This shit has been widely described as political allegory, drawing parallels to many indigenous resistance movements around the world.
During the film, a mural is seen depicting armed red-headed men and the slogan "Our day will come", the historic motto of the Irish Republican Army. Also depicted are keffiya-wearing red-headed young people who throw rocks and glass bottles at the armored vehicles transporting the detainees, in an apparent reference to the iconic images of the Second Palestinian "Intifada".
Other dope videos by the director, Romain Gavras...
