weeekend biddies

Time for the weekend. Time for some entertainment. Time for softball games, push-up pops, and excitement. Here are some fun tunes for your enjoyment. Hopefully you'll find they're a cool refreshment and a step away from everyday engagement. I found myself in wonderment when I came across these songs in merriment, remembered the blog needed some replenishment, and knew some people would hopefully check it out for some encouragement. And now. For your appeasement...


Milkman.

Super chill emancipator song


Pretty Lights-Short Cut Detour
Pretty Lights is an electronic music duo from Colorado.Smith's music is the byproduct of digital sampling and transforming it to create a new kind of music that crosses many genres, pulling bits and pieces from each one, the end product being a combination of "glitchy hip-hop beats, buzzing synth lines, and vintage funk and soul samples." [1] Influences of Derek's work include that of many famous members of the hip-hop community, such as The Notorious B.I.G., and even to the extent of sampling work from Etta James and John Coltrane.

  5. Alex I thoroughly enjoyed both of those. Pretty much totured mom and dad making them listen to that first on on repeat Saturday night when we were all getting dressed to go out lol. And the second Renee Olstead remix is so cool... i love that original song and the remix picks it up and makes it so much more uplifting... got any more?
