Solange Knowles – Stillness Is The Move

Wow. Check out Beyonce’s kid sister, Solange Knowles, flexing her golden pipes to the Dirty Projectors’ “Stillness is the Move”… she kills it. On top of Dre’s “XXplosive” beat no less. Damn this family has some genes. I know next to nothing about Solange but I feel bad for her…standing in the shadow of BEYONCE. The shadow of her ass alone is enough to keep you in the dark forever. Throw in the fact that she’s one of the biggest stars on the planet and one half of the biggest power couple on the planet (B and Jay are Hollywood’s top earning couple according to ABC news)…  those are some big shoes to fill.

EDIT: revoking “I feel bad for her” …she’s a multi-millionaire dimepiece what the fuck was a thinking?

Music Monday you are oh-so-groovy.

This is our first edition so it will be brief, but sexy nonetheless. In the future we’ll delve a little deeper but for now just know that I recommend all of these albums, with a little extra love for Ocarina of Rhyme (but that doesn’t really count because it’s a gimmick using artists I already enjoy over music that was engrained into my brain when I was like…9 years old).

On with the music! I acquired these albums this past weekend with help from Pitchfork, Insound, eMusic and 8tracks.com. 3/4 of them have incredible titles:

Bat For Lashes – Two Suns (steadily growing on me and I don’t mind spending time with her…)

Daniel – Bat For Lashes
Cymbals Eat Guitars – Why There Are Mountains (#2 best selling album at Insound and eMusic this week)

And The Hazy Sea – Cymbals Eat Guitars

Bill Callahan – Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle (Awesome lyricist)

Eid Ma Clack Shaw – Bill Callahan

Team Teamwork – The Ocarina of Rhyme

This last one is a mix of classic rappers with classic beats from…Legend Of Zelda! Includes Jay-Z, Dre & Snoop, Aesop Rock, Clipse and more. You can listen to it ALL below:
