Our guy Shlohmo is back with this monster of a slow jam on “Places”. This is that Hennessey shit, that straight up Kev Brown Hennessey shit, that Brown Sugar D’Angelo ready to flip R&B on its head type shit. Into it.

Dang, I know I’m an adult woman, but this preteen jam was bumping like crazy on the radio in Cleveland this weekend while I was visiting home. Initially I couldn’t understand how something so rudimentary could appeal to anyone. The more it played, though, I got sucked in by its infectious bleeps. Now I can’t wait til the next Weezy mixtape drops with him freestyling over this beat. This is saccharine, by-the-book pop music sung by 14 year olds, and I love everything about it. Combine this with their dance moves – Chris Brown and Usher better be on notice.

OMG yes! So straight away we loved Gold Panda’s original “Marriage” single. Loved is maybe putting it a bit mildly. Totally fucking knocked out. (And the vid’s the shit too). But jeez, Star Slinger just went next level with this remix. Star Slinger is maybe our favorite electronic artist in the game right now. Like can’t wait from release to release for what comes next. Dude is so so good. How many artists can you genuinely say that about, right? So legit.

Julian, bud, you know this totally sounds like Radiohead, right? Not that we’re complaining. The tune has legs. The thin electro-drums, the arpeggiated guitar layers, the frenetic vocals. Nikolai we see you bumping OK Computer on your iPod touch. It’s OK, we’re still cool. We like this song, just please don’t go all Our Lady Peace on us and come back sounding like this on LP 5. All we ask.
