The song is pretty catchy and the rest of Elmweed seems to like it. Speaking of which, Family Feud on facebook is the devil and has possessed my roomies. I don't care what list of superpowers would give you an advantage in card games. The ability to stop time is more efficient than hyper-speed, and ESP has a broader range of perceptive faculties than mind-reading, which means that these lists are unsound anyways.

Can't say that I'm a big fan of dubstep but I like this banger...maybe because I liked the idea of a kind-of-hot, blue space alien band ever since watching Daft Punk's Interstella 5555. Mind you, the extraterrestrials in this song seem more like Decepticons planning to wipe off the "humanoids with subsonic base". Hmm.
I wish I could talk about how all these tracks make me want to drink and dance and rage and party and drink Four Loko... but this song did help me concept map the crap out of my impending paper.
Most everyone is familiar with the song, G6 by the Far East Movement (ft. Cataracs). It has that inexplicable ability to turn even the tamest partygoer into "that girl who was dancing hard on top of the table at [collegetown bar]." You know what I mean. I'm pretty sure Level b plays this song at least 3.5 times per night.
And for good reason. The Far East Movment has received praised across the industry for repping a unique style of music. And they're repping Asians! Kev Nish, Prohgress, J-Spliff and DJ Virman represent different generations of Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Filipino ancestry within the Asian American community. Whoo never have Asian musical artists looked so fly without a string instrument (no offense Yo Yo Ma). I'll toast to that.
"Far East Movement (also known as FM) has bridged the gap between underground party records and mainstream hip-hop and pop. They blend elements of hip-hop, pop, electro and dance to create an original sound and lifestyle they call ‘Free Wired’."
The group blew up from the Koreatown, LA scene way back when. The video above is a sick visual interpretation of what most people associate with the group.
However, what people don't usually associate with the group is mellowness... until now! It's nice to know that even hardcore electrolites also have a soft spot.
It's a sweet, feel-good mix between jazzy notes, beats and falsetto. Justin Timberlake meets Jason Mraz, but asian. I like it. And it's heartfelt and inspirational. Tear.
Derek "Pretty Lights" Smith once was a student at University of Colorado at Boulder. He dropped out and became a full-time electronic artist and started performing at Bonnaroo, Coachella and Ultra Music Festival. Imagine that.

This past weekend one of my friends flew to LA and saw Calvin Harris, Boys Noize, Nero, Bloody Beetroots and a special surprise set by Miike Snow at the HARD fest 2010. I am bitter.
There's some pretty good Miike Snow remixes out there, but I'm feeling the originals right now.
Too much stress from work & wondering what I'm "doing with my life." This song makes me feel happy.
Some people just want lie on the beaches in the Caribbean / Some people want to do crazy things to green amphibians / Some people want some people to do as they please / We just want to have a good time / All the time
