Ten Great Songs

1. Quadron - "Favorite Star" 2013  *It's a ***** happy song.




2. General Elektriks - "Frost On Your Sunglasses" 2005  *This is off the Cliquety Kliqk album, I also love "Tu M'intriques."




3. Declaime feat. Georgia Anne Muldrow - "Mages Sages II" (Produced by Flying Lotus) 2010  *Next level jam.



4. James Blake feat. RZA - "Take A Fall For Me" 2013  *Not surprising that a James Blake and RZA would make a song this amazing.




5. Portugal. The Man feat. Danny Brown - "Evil Friends (Jake One Remix)" 2013  *This is the first song I contributed to Reign City, and it's awesome.




6. King Krule - "Foreign 2" 2013  *King Krule will be playing at Barboza on December 14. I'm so there.




7. Glass Candy - "Candy Castle" 2007  *I would love to see a Glass Candy and Chromatics show someday.



8. Barry Adamson - "Something Wicked This Way Comes" 1997  *I originally found this song on the Lost Highway Soundtrack, which had some serious gems.

9. Deltron 3030 - "3030" 2000   *Deltron 3030 is coming to The Crocodile on November 17. They have a new album called Deltron 3030: Event II. Dan The Automator's discography is truly amazing.



10. The XX - "Angels" (Budo Remix) 2013  *"Angels" seems like it was made to be remixed. Budo's incredible new album is best described in this guy's Tumblr page review.

Ten Whistling Songs

1. Guns n' Roses - "Patience" 1989  *This is the best whistling song. It is difficult for me to whistle for very long because I start smiling, then it's all over.

2. Peter, Bjorn, and John - "Young Folks" 2006  *This is probably the new "it" whistling song.

3. General Elektriks - "Raid The Radio" 2009  *It seems like it would be hard to dance this much while simultaneously playing so many instruments.

4. ApSci - "Crazy Crazy Insane" 2009  *I really wanted to like this band (they are on Quannum Projects) but I haven't liked any of their music yet.

5. Scorpions - "Winds Of Change" 1991  *This is the favorite Scorpions song for people who aren't fans of the Scorpions. I work with a metal dude who thinks this song sucks, I think it's the jam.

6. The Black Keys - "Tighten Up" 2010  *This is the other new hotness of whistling songs.

 

7. The Lovin' Spoonful - "Daydream" 1966  *Classic whistling action.

8. John Lennon - "Jealous Guy" Recorded 1971/Released 1985  *Whistling genius.

9. Otis Redding - "Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay" 1968  *Now, this is a whistle.

10. Bjork - "Isobel" 1995  *This whistling isn't as in your face as some of the others, but, it's there.

The Best Of Quannum Projects

After hearing DJ Shadow's Endtroducing (released on Mo Wax, not Quannum Projects in 1996), I felt the need to look into all Shadow-related music. Quannum Projects had been Solesides Records previously. Solesides first release was DJ Shadow's "Entropy" with Asia Born's (Lyrics Born) "Send Them" on the b-side. This is a compilation of Solesides greatest hits.

This is some of my favorite Quannum-related fan stuff.

Quannum has released a ton of great music since it originated, here are ten of my favorites in no particular order.

Poets Of Rhythm - "Discern/Define" 2001 

Blackalicious - "Swan Lake" 1994

Latyrx - "Lady Don't Tek No" 1997

Lifesavas - "Skeletons" 2003

Blackalicious - "Alphabet Aerobics" 1999

General Elektriks - "Tu M'intrigues" 2003

Lyrics Born feat. Joyo Velarde - "Love Me So Bad" 2003

Blackalicious - "Rhymes For The Deaf, Dumb, And Blind"  1994

Latyrx - "Say That" 1997

Blackalicious feat. Floetry - "Automatique" 2005
