Posted by VMan on November 20, 2013
NWLA MC Christian Deshun aka Christian Dee La releases his latest self-produced track “Unsung” off his upcoming mixtape Subtle Weekends. “Unsung” is Christian spitting his unspoken thoughts over a minimalist new age beat. This Louisiana rapper’s flow is unlike any other flow you’ve ever heard, and I’m not saying this just to say it, I mean it. If you like rap music with substance, consider yourself served, you’re going to want to keep tabs on this guy: he spits real shit. It’s only a matter of time till he blows up, and gets the recognition he deserves. This is a must listen!

Pop, Review | An In depth Review of Alison Gold’s “Chinese Food”
Posted by Mel on October 15, 2013
It is not often a pop song strikes me in such a way that I can’t stop playing it or thinking about it. The last time it happened was a couple years ago with what will forever and always be my favorite song, “Payphone” by Maroon 5. I loved it upon first listen, but then one fateful night my adoration for it got intensified in a very big way. I was 17 years old and at a house party. I had my favorite snapback on backwards and was leaning against the wall drinking a diet Dr Pepper when I saw a guy and a girl leave the couch they were on to go upstairs together for some reason, so I made my move and snagged a seat on the couch. I was just chillen there on the couch… by myself… like always… when a girl came over and sat next to me. She said “heyy”, I said “sup”. “Why aren’t you drinking a beer” she asked. “Not a huge fan of the taste” I replied. She then handed me hers, urging me to try it. I did of course because that’s practically kissing which is practically dating which was a big deal for me at the time. “It’s alright I guess” I said as I handed it back to her. Now I don’t know whether or not it was by accident, but the series of events that followed were the without a doubt the highlight of my senior year.
She just looked at me and smiled. She did that for like 20 seconds. When she sat down she sat extremely close to me, our legs were practically touching, it was actually quite rude of her. She then got up and as she was doing so her hand touched my arm and part of my upper thigh region. It was also at that exact moment that “Payphone” came on. I sat there in a state of euphoria until the song finished. She was also wearing flip flops so it was especially hot. I wasn’t quite sure if what had just gone down had in fact gone down but I looked across the room and the Australian guy who kissed me on the cheek against my will in the second grade was standing there watching and he confirmed with a series of head nods that it did.
I never thought my love for Maroon 5’s “Payphone” could be matched, but then I heard this. Press play, watch the video and I can only hope you experience the high that Alison Gold’s “Chinese Food” gave me. Once you check it out, click past the break to read my in depth review of perhaps the greatest pop song to come out all year.
Chill, Electronic, Indie | Tycho – Awake
Posted by W8 on October 15, 2013
After having this track on repeat for the better part of this entire night, Awake unanimously became post worthy. A little more than nothing appeases my interest lately so this was a relief to hear. Tycho arrives back after a brief absence from their last album Dive, out of that came one of the most chillified tunes ever – A Walk that we posted back in ’11. It’s unfortunate that Awake or anything Tycho for that matter has to fall short of summer like this but none the less vote with your dollars and support good music.
