California Sunrise

Just stumbled upon this gem.  This song and video do 3 things for me.  1. Make me stoked on living in California, particularly near the beach  2.  Make me sad that summer is over and 3. Make me want to surf a lot more next year.  Either way, it's a chill, relaxing song and the video suits the song perfectly.

Zion I is back

I found out yesterday that Zion I is putting out another album first week of November.  I pre-ordered the album yesterday and got a few early singles.  This first one Many Stylez is so so so sick.  It's with Rebelution, a reggae group I've been hearing more and more about.  Zion I has always been a little bit more progressive than the rest and it's good to see them pushing their boundaries.  It's a risky play in the rap game, but in this case it works out phenomenally.

Beatles, meh

I don't particularly like the Beatles.  Now don't go chastising me for having a music blog but not liking the "greatest band of all time".  I respect and appreciate everything that the Beatles did for the progression of music, but I can honestly say I get little-to-no pleasure out of listening to them.  That being said, this is an exception.  A nice, simple remix of one of the few Beatles songs I like.  Shouts to Christ Man for showing me this shit.

K-OS: What Will.i.am would sound like if he didn't suck ass

Happy Friday.  Not in a mood for lots of typing today, but I will say that K-OS (pronounced like 'chaos') doesn't sound like a whole lot of other rappers/songwriters out there, although he looks exactly like Will.i.am except less homo.  He has a sing-song style of rap and funky beats.  That's all I want to type.

Lots of New Music

Good Afternoon,

I just sat down at my laptop to check a few things and listen to a little music, next thing I know 2 1/2 hours have gone by and I have like 40 new songs.  Since we're about quality over quantity here, I'll just post a few that I know right off the bat are good.  Some of the others I want to listen to a few times before I vouch for them and put them up here.  Sometimes I take a hash rip or two and a new song sounds amazing, so I post it, then two hours later when I'm not retardedly high it's actually a pretty shitty song. 

Another Kid Cudi leak off Man on the Moon 2: Legend of Mr. Rager.  Came out a little bit ago but it's new to me.  So far from what I've heard it's shaping up to be quite the sick batch of songs, although I'm not that fond of his current radio song Erase Me.  Hard to find it in good quality on youtube, but you can download good versions just by googling it.

Kid Cudi feat. Snoop Dogg - I Do My Thing

So I had heard about Diggy Simmons, the middle child from Run's House, starting a rap career and shit.  I even checked out his blog earlier this year and it was retarded (everyone knows that only a total douche starts their own blog).  And when he was in the top 5 running for new rap artist of the year on MTV Jams (which Wiz ended up winning), I thought that he must've played people to click the "vote" button for him all day.  But, and I can hardly believe these words are coming out of my mouth, the little dude actually has a good flow and above-average lyricism.  Shits all over his assclown brother Jojo and his faggy group Team Blackout.  Listen for yourself, Diggy has the third verse.  And Pharrell kills it too (by Pharrell standards).

Here's a dubstep track for the day, more of a mainstream, vocally oriented dubstep song (since it's a remix)

Plan B - The Recluse (Nero remix)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPguBm8QFuw


Last song for today is a Crystal Castles song that I downloaded a few months ago and somehow completely forgot about.  Might not be too new but it's still a great tune.

Crystal Castles - Empathy

And finally, a perfect example of your typical female's driving skills.  The subtitles are the best part.

King Fantastic

King Fantastic is comprised of a rapper and a producer and they're out of Venice.  Haven't had a chance to check out their whole mixtape yet but I've heard a couple of their remixes and they're quality.  Bass Head is already one of my favorite dubstep songs and they manage to make it even better.  Probably my favorite workout song right now too.

Go and download their version of Because by The Bird and the Bee.  Also really sick.  Make sure to keep an eye out for King Fantastic in the next year.

Nasty Breakup with Weeds

Sorry, but I just need to get this off my chest.  Weeds sucks.  Like real hard.  I used to love it, the first few seasons were marvelous and funny and I actually gave a shit what happened in the next episode.  They all ended with awesome cliffhangers.  There were times when I loved the show so much that I probably would've curb-stomped a gypsy just to see the next episode right then and there and not have to wait a week (especially if it's a Turkish gypsy, they're the worst)

Last season was pretty wack but this season is downright preposterous.  Take for example the second (I think) episode this season.  At the end of the episode, Nancy and Andy are walking out of their weed dealer's house with a trash bag full of weed trimmings (to make hash with).  As soon as they get outside, two police officers are waiting, as the van Nancy is driving (the only one parked on the entire street) has been reported stolen and has thousands of dollars worth of tickets, as well as the wrong license plate.  As the police glare and radio the stolen car in, we see Nancy and Andy scared shitless.  Roll credits.  Great cliffhanger ending right?

WRONG.

Wanna know what they do to get out of it?  They fumble and bumble around, make up some half-assed story about how they actually live there and it's not their van, then pretend they were taking their trash bag full of weed out to the dumpster to throw it away, then put it in the wrong trash can (recycling), etc.  Yet somehow, the two completely inept cops don't ask for ID, don't talk to the people that actually live there, nothing.  Nancy and Andy just walk away and that's the last we hear of it.

This is just one example.  This shit is happening in every episode now and it's ridiculous.  Sure, I haven't seen the 5th season of Lost or any of that bullshit (I hear it's absurd), but Weeds used to be funny and realistic and awesome.  It's sad that our relationship has come to an end.  It's even sadder that this isn't a happy, let's-still-be-friends breakup.  This is a get-pissed-off, throw-her-clothes-on-the-street-and-put-her-beloved-chihuahua-Tinkerbell-in-the-oven-on-broil type breakup.

Frankly I'm offended that Showtime and Jenji Kohan think I'm stupid enough to not notice and keep watching.  I'd rather dry-heave for 26 minutes straight than encourage these assbags to keep making more television.  So FUCK YOU WEEDS, I'm out.

Tinie Tempah

This dude Tinie Tempah is out of England and his mainstream debut is actually pretty sick.  I'm usually not into the British rap scene (the Streets, Dizzee Rascal, etc.) but this dude brings something different.  More electro-style beats and an above-average flow.  If you ever heard Pass Out by Chiddy Bang, he actually did the (almost) identical original version.  His album still hasn't dropped in the states but leaks can be found around the internet.

Getting to know Loads Amnesia

There are two contributing authors on Treme Sploded: Loads Amnesia and Dr. Sludge Muffin.  Our musical tastes are pretty similar, both of us leaning mostly towards rap and hip-hop.  Specifically, rap and hip hop that you hopefully haven't heard yet.

Dr. Muffin and I also have very unique and tasteless senses of humor.  If you get offended easily or don't like sarcasm, then I don't like you and you don't deserve this awesome blog and you can ESAD (eat shit and die, I like abbreviations)

Enough typing, this is what I listen to.


Wiz Khalifa
Yeah, I'm on Wiz Khalifa's dick.  Bad.  I said it.  There simply isn't another rapper who has put out as much consistently good music in the past year or two as Wiz.  Kid Cudi and Chiddy Bang are up there, but they put out probably half as much total music as Wiz does, with about the same percentage of it being really good.  If you get sick of me posting Wiz all the time, tough shit.  He's putting out new stuff almost weekly and if it's good it's getting posted.

Here are a few classic Wiz selections in case I've never forced you to listen to him before:

I recommend you start with Kush and OJ and Flight School.


Rap/Hip-Hop
I listen to allllll types of rap music.  I try to stay away from the mainstream as much as possible (no Gucci Mane thanks), but if it's a good song then I could really give a fuck who it's by.  Some of my current favorite artists:

Chiddy Bang

Kid Cudi
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKD2EWLKcNU

J. Cole
This song Lights Please has some of the smartest, most original lyrics I've EVER heard in a rap song.  Jay-Z heard just this one song and insisted that J. Cole sign with Roc-a-fella.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dyPeGDeS3o
If you have the time, read the lyrics with it:
http://ohhla.com/anonymous/j_cole/warm_up/l_please.col.txt

I could go on for fortnights about all of the hip-hop that I love, so I'll just leave you with that.  Plenty more to come though don't worry.


Dubstep
This is one of the areas where mine and Dr. Muffin's tastes don't overlap.  You see, the good Dr. is about 10 years older than I am on the inside, thus dubstep is to him what rap music was to our parents, and it makes him cranky.  I, on the other hand, can't sit still when I listen to it.  It's like auditory meth, except I hate meth and I love dubstep.

I'm gonna try to put at least one song per day up on this blog, but it might not always happen.  This blog is about QUALITY OVER QUANTITY.  If I go a week without finding a song, then that's the way it is.  I'd rather have a week with no blog updates then start putting shitty music on my blog just because I feel I have to.  Also, every song I upload I have on my laptop, so if you really like something and can't find it anywhere else, let me know and I'll send it to you.  Unless this blog somehow gets really big, then you're on your own.  But it won't because I'm not that exciting.

Oh and this is the kind of humor I have:

Don't like?  Don't read.

Oh and shoutout to Alecs, the only emo-goth that I associate with.

Fuck that took forever to write.  I hope someone actually reads this shit.
