Cocaine 80s :: Ghost Lady

Cocaine 80s - Ghost Lady EP cover

If I had to throw this record into a genre, I’d have to say its just “dope” music. That’s if you let them tell it, and well, with a name like Cocaine 80’s I’d say its a pretty apt description. The No I.D. helmed music collective recently dropped their new EP Ghost Lady, laced with moody alternative grooves, not quite emo and slightly reminiscent of the Weekend (save the rapping). For those of you allergic to guitars and in need of some bars, maybe this Common collabo will pique your interest enough to take another hit. Either way, you’d be a fool not to get yourself a taste of this ear candy. You can either tweet to pay or get your fix straight from the source here. Enjoy that high.

Broken Bells :: The High Road

Lately I’ve been on the mission to find new and interesting music outside of the urban realm. I came across this song from the Broken Bells (a duo comprised of ever-evolving super producer Danger Mouse and the lead singer of the Shins, James Mercer) while reading through Last.fm’s 2010 Top 40 most scrobbled artists. I can’t lie, initially I was strictly in it to hear new music from Danger Mouse but ended up really digging James Mercer’s voice. This song just has a nice feel to it and I always enjoy videos with esoteric themes. This one certainly didn’t disappoint.
