Santogold and Diplo – Top Ranking [2008]
http://drop.io/lbxfige – pt 1.
http://drop.io/8eopl13 – pt 2.
Paste listed this disc at #24 on their year-end list and I can see why. They say it’s…..
A sizzling mixtape that re-imagines Santogold’s sound (which was pretty imaginative to begin with) Top Ranking boasts a strong Caribbean accent and a genre-jumping tracklist- the record drops young Santi White alongside Aretha, Devo, Desmond Dekker and Panda bear, and she hangs right in there.
I say “Damn, this is genius”. I CAN’T STOP LISTENING. HELP ME PLEASE. The way that Diplo creates a palette of Santogold mixed with a TON of great music surrounding her, is brilliant. Check her out on “Guns of Brooklyn”, doing an apt cover of the Clash classic. Or on Icarus, one of the greatest songs released this year. Or on the aforementioned Panda Bear mash, Lights Out.

Brown University announces Girl Talk, M.I.A., Lupe, Vampire Weekend
Looks like Brown University will have, once again, the preeminent spring weekend concert series. Oh, if only I were still in school…..um, and like, smart.
Confirmed (well, reported by Pitchfork, anyway) for Friday April 11 will be rapper and Kanye-protege Lupe Fiasco and fellow ivy-leaguers, and indie-band-of-the-moment Vampire Weekend. And for those managing to recover after the mayhem Friday, concertgoers will be treated to Sri-Lankan headline generator and hip hop urbanite M.I.A. , jam-tastic Umphrey’s McGee and cut-and-paste insta-party insaniac Greg Gillis, a.k.a. Girl Talk on Saturday April 12th. I’d go just for him…
