Every once in a while you need to go to Youtube and search for "Kanye West Remix". You would be surprise how much new stuff always pops up. Some of it is fake but people are posting NEW work by him that never makes the radio or MTV. This is what the internet is all about! Mad props to Colin Munroe for pulling off his own spin on Flashing Lights.

Requiem for Portishead
I downloaded Portishead's new album the Third off iTunes at work and I've been blasting this great dramatic music for a week straight. It's sooo good.
My best friend in high school introduced me to them almost a decade ago but I didn't really get into it until my senior year in college. I really love their moods, textures and how they mix genres. Beth Gibbons vocals are eerie and perfect for their sound. It just tells a sad story that is worth listening to over and over again.
Well Third is a great Portishead album. If you know the band and their music you will like this album. If you are new to their music go buy their first two albums, especially Portishead. Well you won't find any real BIG hits but I'm a fan of "Nylon Smile" and "The Rip". Overall this album is quiet and dark. I would give it a B+ for its solid down-tempo sound since it has been a decade since they've released a new album as a band. I only wish there was a little more jazzy trip hop to the music.

At the Battle of the Puebla
Back in college the 5th of May was a huge drinking day for me and some of my friends. One time I think we even managed to visit 4 parties (2 of them we crashed) and drink for free all night. So I'm planning on going out on Monday and probably hangout at Alero near my house but the Post had some other cool locations to find tequila. Well enjoy.

Great for those who can't read!
I know I shouldn't say this but I too get DailyCandy emails. It's one of the many ways I find odd things online but this has to be one of the coolest. It's an "efficient new search engine that enables you to scan resulting pages visually." I will definitely put this to good use, though I hope their search engine gets better with time. I think Google might want to steal this idea too.
