NPR: “Tiny Desk Concerts” Series Welcomes “The Internet” (Video)

Straight outta Los Angeles, and Odd Future, The Internet – featuring founding members Syd The Kid (vocals/production) and Matt Martians (keys/ production), as well as Pat Paige (bass), Jameel Bruner (keys) and Chris Smith (drums) – falls through NPR to do a “Tiny Desk Concert.” The kind of Alternative that The Internet brings to your ears… well… it’s hard to describe. Good thing you have the above video to watch (and the “Ego Death” album link, via earlier post on here, to listen to).

Here’s an attempt at description: Think R&B’d out Hip-Hop swagger meeting homegrown Neo-Soul with a 21st century twist.

Yep. That’s the best description for it. And nope, that doesn’t quite cover it. But yep, you will enjoy it… perhaps enough to cop the album here.

Alternative: The Internet – “Shadow Dance” (Video)

Damn. Syd The Kyd pulled one with this one (well, two if you count the honey in the vid and the song separately). Odd Future’s on the mic and sometimes on the tables singer… repping The Internet… nice vid for “Shadow Dance.” Hot. Hot!

Comedy: Tyler The Creator x IceJJFish – “I Just Bought a Bugatti” (I’m Happy) [Video]

Okay. Looking at the title, you might expect this video to be a bit “off” (it’s Tyler The Creator and IceJJFish man c’mon). Now, if we told you it was from the Loiter Squad show on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim…you KNOW it’s some funny, trippy sh!t. Watch this trap rap spoof. Ride with the insanity!

Earl Sweatshirt – “Chum” (Video)

Those Odd Future cats (like Earl) stay on some… well… oddness. This Earl Sweatshirt joint “Chum” is odd… and dark. Appropriately (and literally), so is the video. No reason not to get the point. And you can ‘get’  the track off iTunes right now.

R&B/Soul: The Internet – “Give It Time”

Syd Tha Kid and Matt Martian – rolling as a combo called The Internet – let go of a sultry heater entitled “Give It Time.” Nice. The duo reps the Odd Future click well on this. Laid-back… chill-mode music. Click and listen here.

Frank Ocean – ‘Songs For Women’ (Video)


If you haven’t downloaded & listened to this man’s album ‘Nostalgia, Ultra’ then you are seriously sleeping! It’s my favorite R&B album that was released this year. This unofficial video doesn’t adequately or creatively reflect what I envisioned for the song, but I’m not mad at the eye candy.

Late Night With Jimmy Fallon Has An ‘Odd Future’ (Video)

At times when I watch late night television there will be artists that I may not entirely be familiar with. Most of the time the artists don’t leave any sort of impression. Last night on the Late Night With Jimmy Fallon show his musical guests were the Los Angeles based group ‘Odd Future’ or OFWGKTA which stands for ‘Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All’. Ok. I can’t front & say I’m familiar with this band although I’ve heard Questlove of the Roots endorse them at some point, but I have to admit their performance last night made an impression on me. I don’t ride bandwagons but I’d like to see & hear more from this group to see if they are the real deal for the long haul. At least they left a great first impression with their live performance.  More background video on this group after the jump…..
