All Things Radio: New Music for Summer of ‘08
Finally, a Twitter + Hype Machine + LastFM solution that I didn’t even think I needed! Sexy. Read up peoples, it’s gonna blow your mind – via Three Imaginary Girls (based in Seattle, WA!):
My technology-loving multi-tasking ass is rejoicing at this moment. Now you can have Hype Machine send a tweet to Twitter everytime you favorite a song on HypeM. You can also set HypeM to twitter your favorite songs, blogs, searches or people. Here’s an example.
And if that wasn’t enough, you can also scrobble what you listen to on HypeM to your Last.FM profile. Instructions here.
Cool, huh? Not that I’d flood my Twitter list with a bunch of FAV THIS FAV THAT, but I think it’s a great tool to bust out a quick “I dig this track” tweet. Ohh! Also, Here’s a quick list of the new tracks that I’ve been listening to these past few weeks (All tracks link to Hype Machine, unless otherwise noted):
Weezer - Pork and Beans (via Pasta Primavera)
Kinda too simple for my tastes, feels like a “lowest common denomenator” mainstream track – Sorry Rivers!
N*E*R*D – Spazz and Everyone Nose
Fatty synths and Cheesy-made-cool lyrics (I’m a little teapot? DOPE) bring N*E*R*D back into my headphones. Expect the clubs to be rockin’ its infinite remixes this summer
Coldplay - Viva La Vida and Voilet Hill (via You Are So Relevant)
They’re back, and as much as I really wanted to love X&Y, I didn’t. I like what I hear so far, but I’m setting my expectations to “good” (not OMGAWESOME) for now.
Death Cab for Cutie – I Will Possess Your Heart
Everyone’s talking about the “creepiness” of this track. I think it’s an honest account of what it is to desire something beautiful. Expect to see this as the main track in 1,000,000 time-lapse You Tube videos
Estelle ft. Busta Rhymes – American Boy (Remix) (via First Up!)
OMG I could dance to this track from AM to PM and AM all over again. Sexy. Chill, smooth, jazz, “lick the person next to you,” kinda sexy. Busta’s verses are bonus!

I’m also checking out the latest albums by Erykah Badu – New Amerykah Part One (4th World War), The Raconteurs – Consolers Of The Lonely and the Portishead – Third. I’ll let you know what I think. Is there anything new I missed? I’m down for whatevs!
Enjoy the choons!
