J Waters: Giving Him The Bizness
I first heard tUnE yArDs and really wasn’t sure I could vibe with it. However, this video has been surfacing on a few blogs, and I decided to give her, yes her, music a second listen. Although I can’t quite take the eclectic nature found in most of tUne yArDs’ work, this song is really […]

J Waters: At Home with the Crystal Fighters
Crystal Fighters’ video for their track “At Home” directed by Ferry Gouw. You may know Gouw’s work as the illustrator behind Major Lazer’s cartoon themes. However, as seen above, he also does music videos and in addition is in a band called the Semifinalists. He does a great job of capturing the vibrant imagination of […]
J Waters: Pusha T, 50 Cent and Pharrell – Raid
Whenever I see 50 Cent in a song, I’m usually a bit wary. Sure he’s had commercial success and who doesn’t love his top 40 made-to-forget bangers. However, this song is produced so well by the Neptunes (of which Pharrell is a part of) and Pusha T (signed to Kanye’s GOOD Music label) is dope. […]

J Waters: For Rill Rill, It's Sleigh Bells
The video for Sleigh Bells’ “Rill Rill” came out this past month and it is Just Excellent. Not since Foster the People’s “Pumped Up Kicks” have I heard a track so beautiful and melodious loaded with such clearly corrupt euphemisms.

J Waters: Donald Trumpin' It
Mac Miller’s new video for his single “Donald Trump”
J Waters: Doncamatic
When I first heard this song by the Gorillaz, I was in love. When I first saw the video, and much to my chagrin discovered the singer was a man and not a woman, I was scarred. Nonetheless, the video is super cool, just like all Gorillaz video, so kick back and enjoy this jammer […]
