Toro Y Moi + Ducktails + A$AP + Slowdive
Posted by Jakub
January is already gearing up to be a huge release month, Ducktails has moved onto Domino Recordings, Toro Y Moi is still on Carpark and A$AP Rocky debuts on a major. Probably one of the most exciting January’s for releases in years for indie.
Also, I attached a rework I did of Slowdive. Happy New Year!
In other news Jay-Z is scoring the Great Gatsby, all the baby boomers are probably thinking… “well when I die, I won’t miss the earth as much as I thought I would.”

January 2, 2013 at 12:28 pmThis Toro Y Moi release makes me hope 2013 is going to be absolutely awesome. In terms of music at least.

January 2, 2013 at 8:39 pmThere are some nice Steely Dan influences in that Ducktails song. Or, I’m just imagining things. The sound quality of it is really nice.

January 3, 2013 at 12:54 am每一朵花，都是我为你写的诗。为你花开，为你花谢；为你心动，为你倾城，为你亡了家国。每一片叶，都有我的心跳。只为你靠近的刹那，让你能听得见，那心碎的声音。每一滴雨，都是我的泪，为你缠…

January 3, 2013 at 6:39 amAre you saying Baby Boomers secretly hate Jay-z? He is the president of one of the most popular music labels of all time, he brought you rihanna who I know firsthand is popular with older music listeners. The Great Gatsby a literary classic needs a score to keep people enthralled in the story. I guarantee you Sean Carter will give it a progressive driving sound direction along the lines of the social network. The music will save this movie…I fear it will be boring.

January 3, 2013 at 8:48 amI’m going to make the wild prediction that Say That is the #1 song of 2013 on this blog at the end of the year. See you in 362 days.

January 3, 2013 at 8:56 am@JOEL i’m happy to hear you think the news is positive, my favorite Jay Z song is from the soundtrack “American Gangster” but I just don’t see this pairing being the best.
@BABY BOOMER baby boomers i’m sure love hip hop but I think Great Gatsby has a special place in peoples hearts that Jay Z can’t help fill the soundtrack to

January 3, 2013 at 12:58 pmI dont think American Gangster even ranks as one of Jay-z’s tope 4 albums…but its recent and its tied to a movie, I understand how you may have come to have an affinity for it. I doubt singles from Amercian Gangster or anything like it will be in the movie…i expected you too as well.
Im sure Jay-z will do something like “executive produce”, meaning he art directs the music. I dont think he is providing the soundtrack. He wouldnt do that. He is actually very smart and we all know rap music in great gastby is dumb. I think he does too.
You were joking tho, right?
