Summer (Boner) Jams 05. Its a mixtape.

Summer Jam. That all important song that comes on your car stereo while you're driving to the beach/cruising the mall/at a bbq/ doing it. Every summer the Top 40 Dj/Gestapo start blasting whatever poppy song about the beach they declare as the Jam of the Summer. This year, it is undoubtedly Katy Perry's "California Girls." Blogger's note: This MSTRKRFT remix makes life much better.



I don't think that's necessarily what a summer jam should be. The song that represents your summer should be one that lets you ignore responsibility for 3+ minutes. It should feel like driving with the windows down even if you're stuck in a cubicle. It should remind you of that booty you've been chasing all summer! My Choice: An older song I've rediscovered, "Little Secrets" by Passion Pit.




And of course, the Summer Jam of ALLLLL Summer Jams. Seriously, if you don't know at least half of these lyrics, I don't want to know you exist:




PS Extra points to the Youtube user who uploaded that Summer Time vid, their Punch-Out intro is bangin'!

Electro-Hip/Hop-Pop

Here's a guy your gonna want to introduce yourselves to. Dan Black is somewhat of a unique case. Previously a member of the English alternative band, The Servant. Black has made a name for himself with some songs that have made the journey from one side of the internet to the other. Although he has his biggest fan base in Europe, I can see that it probably won't be long till the U.S. joins the groupie train. Below are two tracks, the first an example of Black's vocal skills over hip-hop style beats and the second a dope track blessed by Passion Pit's signature synth reworking.
Special Sauce.

Jewish People Telling Jokes

It's 2:53 AM and I hate physics.
This made things better.

Notice that she's retired....(sort of)

I think the title of this song is quite appropriate as to how i'm feeling. The fact that i'm writing this instead of staring into my 10lb physics book should show everyone my dedication to the blog. The Knocks is composed of several HeavyRoc team members who are based in Ny,Ny. I hear they are all very handsome.
