Common and Nas Blow Your Minds

Just when you thought Common was slipping, he decides to make a come back with a throw-back to his Common Sense days in the mid-90's with the track "Ghetto Dreams." The song sees some new energy breathed into the 39-year-old veteran, with a pounding beat that is sure to wake you up this afternoon. And added bonus, Nas tears it up with his own verse in the second half.

The songs is off of Common's upcoming LP The Dreamer, The Believer, with his old counterpart No I.D. producing the entire thing, according to an article on MTV.com. I've always been a fan of the Common Sense days and some of his earlier work as Common, so with news that No I.D. has been worked into the mix, expectations for this are high.

Just listen for yourself and get excited:

Album Stream: Unknown Mortal Orchestra

Today is Tuesday and everyone knows that means new records come out. While I know many of you are probably chomping at the bit to hear the new Bon Iver disc, you should probably head over to Spin.com to stream the new self-titled debut by Unknown Mortal Orchestra. It oddly reminds me of Dirty Beaches at some points while also sounding a bit like The Growlers, with a sort of haunted beach-rock sound but with some funkier parts. So really, it might have something for everyone.

Future Islands - Before the Bridge

After seeing Future Islands last Tuesday I've been listening to their album In Evening Air (which is fantastic and you should check out) pretty much non-stop. Today they released their new song "Before the Bridge" which is absolutely superb. You can stream and download the song over at Stereogum.

Bon Iver's new album streaming at NPR

In the Mountain in the Cloud: New Music from Portugal. The Man

Portugal. The Man, an act who I unfortunately had to miss in NYC this last weekend, is releasing a new album, In the Mountain in the Cloud, on July 19th. They've opened up pre-orders on their site (with some truly awesome deals), but more importantly, they are streaming snippets of each track from the album. Just went through them all, and I think this album is going to be killer, which is really what we've come to expect from this band. So go to their site and enjoy.
