Clipse Returns With More Metaphors for Cocaine-Dealing!
1. Clipse, “20k Money Making Brothers on the Cornerâ€
On this first taste of the upcoming mixtape We Got It 4 Cheap Vol. 3: The Spirit of Competition (We Just Think We’re Better), Malice and Pusha-T compare coke-selling to golf, piano-playing, pole-vaulting, and yoga. Bravo! [Gorilla Vs. Bear]
2. Amy Adams, “Happy Working Songâ€
Adams sings a song about housework from the film Enchanted, which itself cleaned up in the Best Original Song category at yesterday’s Oscar nominations, scoring three. [Earfarm]
3. Andrew Bird, “Trees Were Mistakenâ€
Dark and set to what sounds almost like a break beat, this new track finds the typically folkie violinist capably stepping outside his comfort zone. The trees must not have thought he could do it. [Thanks Captain Obvious]
4. Joanna Newsom, “Esameâ€
“Esame†is more of the same from Newsom — amazing, basically. [No Words]
5. Jens Lekman, “I’m Leaving You Because I Don’t Love You (Spoolwork remix)â€
Spoolwork remakes Lekman’s track in the style of the Ronettes. [Culture Bully]
