Young Jeezy and Nas Give Long-Awaited Presidential Endorsement
1. Young Jeezy feat. Nas, “My President”
If Young Jeezy and Nas had their way, our president would be black and turn “light green,” when Obama’s face is put on a $5,000 bill. [White Folks Get Crunk]
2. Vampire Weekend, “Everywhere” (Fleetwood Mac cover)
Vampire Weekend do a live cover of Fleetwood Mac in the style of Paul Simon’s ska band. [Hypeful]
3. TV on the Radio, “Golden Age”
Like the “blown-up … ghetto blaster” in the lyrics, this track (from next month’s Dear Science) is both heavily retro and totally on fire. [Pitchfork]
4. Bloc Party, “Trojan Horse”
If the best revenge is living well, then Bloc Party’s Kele Okereke has some here, with a new single that’s better than anything Johnny Rotten’s put out recently. [Cannibal Cheerleader]
5. Atlas Sound, “Holiday”
Atlas Sound’s (and Deerhoof’s) Bradford Cox would probably like to “hold a knife to [the] perfect fucking face” of the guy who pilfered two unfinished albums and some personal photos when he dropped this virtual seven-inch on Mediafire and forgot to password-protect the rest of his files.
