It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp: Passion Pit - "Constant Conversations" (Juicy J Remix)




I met up my older cuz Josh and his girlfriend Jessie @ Philly's outdoor amphitheater, The Mann Center for a Passion Pit show back in June 2010, backed by Tokyo Police Club/BRAHMS. It was the tour that took place between albums #1-2, Manners and Gossamer, which I still haven't heard a whole lot of... Chunk of Change EP (2008) was supposed to be a surprise Valentine's Day CD-R, but I remember when Kanye posted "Cuddle Fuddle" to his now-defunct blog. Manners was chock-full of Michael Angelakos' high-pitched wail and Electonica-soaked Pop sensibilities. It managed to spawn a number of memorable hits including: "Sleepyhead," "Little Secrets," "To Kingdom Come," The Reeling" and remixes for everyone from Katy Perry to Beastie Boys.


"Yes, Juicy J rapped on "Constant." And it does make sense because it's fucking awesome," Passion Pit frontman Michael Angelakos Tweeted late Thursday afternoon. Stoner Rap pioneer and labelmate Juicy J was supposed to appear @ a recent Madison Square Garden, but an impending blizzard thwarted that one as revealed through a liberated voicemail fragment. "Constant Conversations" has now been morphed into a slightly more street-smart tale about a twisted, ill-fated relationship with a conniving woman who's "body classic like John Wayne and her pussy hit hard like Ron Artest." Then Passion Pit proceed to get all White-Soul and finish out the track as it plays out on Gossamer, which is conveniently available for purchase/download now. Juicy J's third solo album, Stay Trippy is tentatively slated for an April 2013 release and it should feature singles "One of Those Nights" with The Weeknd and "Bandz a Make Her Dance."

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll .
