Sometimes when Timeflies in front of your eyes, you need to stop, look around, and take it all in. Surrealism. With the lead single off their 100% original, One Night EP, Cal and Rez embrace the moment and ask for One Night. With all things considered, is that really too much to ask for?

Pop | Rihanna — Diamonds Remix (Feat. Kanye West)

Though I have a rapidly-growing repugnance for the kind of dubious, diluted songwriting which plagues Rihanna’s “Diamonds,” my serious infatuation with Kanye’s sense of humor has made this remix irresistible. Today I took my first listen of his almost two-minute-long introductory verse, and whether its intention was as a satire on pop radio lyricism or not, it’s a knockout. Though there are many competent contenders in the race for most un/intentionally hilarious mainstream emcees of our time, for the time being Kanye’s got it on lock. Favorite quotables: “Baby, just step up and kiss the belt…a little lower…that’s wassup,” and “my style like sex in the shower, fresh as fuck.”
Pop, Videos | Timeflies Tuesday: Don’t Wake Me Up

Drumroll please….
Although the dudes have been busy living the tour life as of late, another highly anticipated EP is right around the corner from Timeflies. Chris Brown may have made “Don’t Wake Me Up” relevant in pop culture, but like many others, Cal and Rez made this song their own. Transforming the club heater into a baby making anthem, Cal lays his emotions into his vocals like I’ve never heard before. The One Night EP will be available for iTunes presale on 11/19 followed by the release of an album promo video on the 20th, while the project will hit digital shelves on the following Tuesday, 11/27. Prepare to enter ecstasy.
Pop | Smokey Robotic – Barefoot (Walk on Love)
Posted by Jess on November 12, 2012
“If the shoe don’t fit, why would I have it on” is what Smokey Robotic asks as they go barefoot on this latest track entitled “Barefoot (Walk on Love)”. This fresh new track (so many puns in this post) was released through Converse’s Rubber Tracks series and may be one of my favorites by them that they released recently. The smooth piano infused beat with their stellar vocals truly this make this track great. Grab it for free below.

Hearing Jon Bellion’s illustrious creations in itself is an honor. Having a behind the scenes look at his creative process is just icing on the cake. Watching Jon add each intricate layer to the production is what amazes me most. When you hear his music you may not realize all of the fine details and elements that make up the final product, but seeing “the making of” really draws a new appreciation for his music. Ping back to the initial post on the LIFE music video and stay up for details on his all original project, Translations Through Speakers, dropping before years end.
Chill, Hip-Hop, Indie, Pop, Videos | The Lonely Biscuits – Everybody
Posted by J_Salzer on November 4, 2012
Incredibly meaningful video/track from The Lonely Biscuits. They originally recorded this over the summer, in New Jersey, and decided not to release it. Well, I guess it was meant to be, or maybe the Biscuits were very good meteorologists, because there couldn’t a better time to release a track like this. It’s a feel good song, and no doubt many people are downloading it and donating to help the victims of Hurricane Sandy, which I would encourage all of you to do. Here’s what The Lonely Biscuits had to say about the release:
“We wrote this song in the summer of 2012 in New Jersey. The song is about moving on and looking up when we cannot control the situations that we are going through. We have had a surreal experience with this song and video, considering this town is now in shambles. We were never going to release this song because we could not connect to it and did not realize the meaning in the lyrics that we had written at the time. However, after Hurricane Sandy hit, we noticed that there is something much deeper within this song that was meant to spread positivity and uplift everyone’s spirits during this time of tragedy. There has been some serious fate that has taken place while making this song and video and deciding not to release it, and we feel that it was made solely to help the victims of the storm. There is more than just our music in this song, there is love, hope, and a meaning that we did not control and cannot describe. All proceeds will be going towards helping rebuild the communities affected. Peace and Love Biscuits.”
