Young Jeezy and Nas Give Long-Awaited Presidential Endorsement
1. Young Jeezy feat. Nas, “My Presidentâ€
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 Ageâ€
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 Horseâ€
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, “Holidayâ€
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. [Gorilla vs. Bear]
