All the Playlists

Death Is Not the End – Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

30 November 2017

La primera vez que escuche Murder ballads de Nick Cave no pude evitar unir el arte de tapa, una cabaña perdida entre las nieves eternas de algún gélido paraje con el titulo e imaginar de pronto un grupo de asesinos reunidos frente a la chimenea tomando humeante café y escuchando canciones de amor y crímenes.

Nargile – Gaye Su Akyol

30 November 2017

This track is awesome because it talks about the oppressive Turkish government in a very cryptic way. It criticizes the leaders and the government in general. Also the song’s name is “Nargile (hookah)” which suggests that the artist stayed loyal to her Eastern origin while experimenting with it.

Ha – Juvenile

30 November 2017

I remember hearing this song for the first time. It was during a time when the radio stations were dominated by artist from New York or California and hip hop was a lot about how they flowed over the beat and delivery. I remember not liking this track the first time I heard it also.

Ghostwriter – RJD2

29 November 2017

Me: I need some energy and a boost to help me write

Also Me: Have you heard of RJD2?

Pazar ve Ertesi – Son Feci Bisiklet

29 November 2017

Son Feci Bisiklet üreten bir grup olduğunu artık fazlasıyla ispatlamış ve genç dinleyicinin şarkı listelerine çoktan girmiş bir topluluk. İlk albümleri Son Feci EP’den sonra gelen iki başarılı albüm Vesaire ve Kötü Şeyler, grubu alternatif sahnelerin vazgeçilmezi yaptı. Pazar ve Ertesi de olağan sadeliğiyle ve huzur veren vokaliyle Vesaire albümünden öne çıkan çok başarılı bir şarkı. 

Tito Mboweni – Cassper Nyovest

28 November 2017

With one of the largest hip hop fan base in africa , Casper doesn’t only fill up stadiums , he fulfills his duty as a hip hop culture custodian by reinstating himself as the king of hip-hop with his smoothly executed braggadocious flow on this track. Let the music trap you .

Photograph – Arcade Fire

28 November 2017

And everything intensifies, music turns into motion and the soul transmutes it into emotion, the simplicity of the motif from Song on the Beach turns into a sudden yet subtle burst of beautiful sounds, nostalgia becomes melancholy and melancholy turns into sadness, one note at the time.

Not The Only One – Kevin Gates

28 November 2017

Added to the playlist this week is a dope song from a rapper by the name of Kevin Gates who hails from Baton Rouge Louisiana. He recently converted to Islam and is of black and puerto rican decent. Gates released his first album “Islah” in 2016 along with being featured on numerous other mixtapes as well.

Good Old Days – Mackelmore Feat Kesha

28 November 2017

I must admit, It is getting increasingly hard to select tracks for this playlist. I am constantly absorbing the music around me and have found one major conundrum. There is just too much music that gets me excited and would fit perfectly in the sizzle bacon list. I find myself counting down the days to share day every week!

Never Give Up – Sergio T. feat. Dim Gerrard

28 November 2017

We’ve talked a lot about the importance of perseverance in this business of saving the world. A wise chimp once said, ‘we only fail when we give in trying.’ As long as we never give up and never surrender, we can only succeed, even if we’re walking on two left feet all the time!

Intermission – D Mills

28 November 2017

Full of worms, prawns and fat little fish after a truly monumental feed, we doze off and dream our jellyfish dreams.  The dreams are neither good nor bad — just a circling tableau of confusing images.  We try to find meaning in the images.  Sometimes we find it.  

Once Upon A Time – Dipset

28 November 2017

The Diplomats rocky history shouldn’t come as a surprise to any rap fan as this point. Since the group exploded in the early 2000s, the crew has fallen out more times than we can remember.
