Whoops.
Well, it seems like I've been violating some copyright laws by posting download links on my blog. I got an email the other day basically saying take them down or else. So from now on, only stream links :-/ However, if you do want to download the songs from somewhere, send me and email (cdfrantzis@gmail.com) and I can tell you how to do that.

Music's Back!!!!
Damn. It has been a long long time since I've done this. Unfortunately, in the time that I haven't been posting music, I've still been listening to music, so I have a ****load of music to post. After reluctantly doing away with a bunch of songs, there are still 34 of them. I guess that could be a good thing too. But if i were to actually write a review/explanation for each song, I would probably fail all of my classes. And that wouldn't be fun. I'll write a brief intro to each song that I feel needs it. I'm also made a Youtube video playlist of all the songs on this post so that you can just click play and listen to the songs while you work or whatever. To download click on the link to take you to a mediafire page where you can download the song. If it just opens a new tab that plays the song, close that tab and right click on the download link and say save link as. Furthermore, I would recommend listening to these songs at night. They aren't really songs that go well with the light of day, at least most of them. Enjoy! The poll is up. Any input is appreciated.
Here's the Youtube playlist. It should play all of these songs in order. WARNING THIS PLAYLIST IS ALMOST 3 HOURS LONG. So judge your listening accordingly.
Also, look at the duck. It's wearing a dog mask on its face.
First off, here's an awesome song by Parov Stelar. Thanks to Matt Rice for introducing me to this song. And the awesome dance.

Kanye has had some pretty sweet mixes/songs that I've listened to lately. He may be a little too cocky, but his music's right on.
Alors on Danse (Remix) (ft Kanye West & Gilbert Forte) - Strombe
Stream
Christian Dior Denim Flow (Ft. Kid Cudi, Pusha T, John Legend, Lloyd Banks, & Ryan Leslie)
Stream
La Roux - In For the Kill (Remix) (Ft. Kanye West)

The following songs are pretty damn thug in my opinion. Although I definitely (probably) would not be the person to judge that. Warning, lots of n-bombs.
Danger Vs Bone Thugs-N-Harmony - Thug-h30 (Vodka & Milk Mash)
Stream
T.I. - Pledge Allegiance to the Swag (Ft. Rick Ross)
Stream
Ludacris ft. Nicki Minaj, Diamond, Trina, & Eve - My Chick Bad
Stream
It's amazing what you can do with 8-bit sound.
8-Bit - Hip Hop Medley

Thanks are due to Jules for introducing me to the wonders of Nicki Minaj. Also, I think Willow Smith is crazy for a 9 year old. Also, "Willow"? Common Will Smith, please be more self centered.
Willow Smith - Whip My Hair (Ft. Nicki Minaj)
Stream
I actually first heard this song on a music video of some people PWNING n00bs IN HON. I like it. Good trance.
Deadmau5 & Kaskade - I Remember (Original Mix)
Stream
Ke$ha is a dirty person. All her songs are dirty. But I have to give it to her, she pulls off the persona perfectly and I love her music. So all in all, I have lots of respect. Also, much to my surprise, she is not from Jersey as I though. She's from Nashville. That caught me off guard.
Kesha Ft. 3Oh!3 - Blah Blah Blah (Skeet Skeet Remix)
Stream
Don't judge me. I rediscovered this song and it is amazing.
Celine Dion - My Heart Will Go On
Stream
These next two are for those of you (coughsartuccicoughcough) who prefer normal music, you know, with instruments, rather than electronica that for all we know is made by a 17 year old kid in his basement with a couple of cigarettes, dim lighting, and $2000 dollar pirated software. These songs both sound much older than they are, hopefully that's a good thing.
King Charles - Love Lust
Stream
Alexander - Truth (Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes Side Project)

Kyle, this is for you. I know you like epic music, and I consider this pretty epic. It'll be good for writing papers. Plus, I know you'll like the intro.

It's always nice to hear a DJ come up with something instrumental. (ish)
DJ Okawari - Luv Letter

For those who want to slow everything down and mellow out.
Explosions In The Sky - Your Hand In Mine (W/ Strings)
Stream
N.E.R.D. - Hypnotize U

Sorry guys, I'd love to be able to post something worthwhile, but I have exams these days. 1 down, 5 to go. I won't be able to really write or post anything until after I'm done (which will be next Wednesday)

Post Numba 3. With Poll.
Hey guys.
This time I want to try something new. I'm gonna have a poll at the side of the page (this side) ==>
You can chose which song(s) you really liked. That way I get an idea of what most people want, and I'm thinking every now and then have a post where I have the most loved songs posted as a periodic culmination of sorts.
RATATAT. The guitar and synth/bass duo from New York released their 6th album since their first one in 2004. It's called LP4. Following LP3 from 2008. It's pretty similar, and although good, I have to say that all the songs in the album sound very very similar. Interestingly, they've embraced the electronic side of their instruments more, with a larger synth-to-instrument ratio than they usually have. It sounds splendid.
RATATAT - Drugs
Stream
Download
RATATAT - Grape Juice City
Stream

Tiesto teamed up with a Canadian Indie band called Tegan and Sara. Tegan and Sara are identical twins, and I think they sound the same, because I can't really differentiate their voices in the song. They sound almost exactly the same. A sad song, if you listen to the lyrics, but we've all been there before. But it is Tiesto. And so, you're not really going to be paying attention to the lyrics.
Tiesto - Feel It In My Bones (Ft. Tegan and Sara)
Stream
Download
Kaskade's 6th studio album Dynasty along with his singles Dragonette and Fire In Your New Shoes have surfaced him this past month as something more than admittedly not-so-good artist that, looking back, has been around a couple of years. His earlier stuff, not so good. This song, pretty good.
Kaskade (Ft Tiesto and Haley) - Only You
Stream
Download
Anyone who knows me knows that I do not do country music. It does not sit well with my soul. Luckily, DJ Dark Intensity fixed that for me with a heavy dose of synth and drum machines. I might actually forgive him for ruining Lady Gaga's Monster. A country song that's actually enjoyable... because it's not country anymore.
Lady Antebellum - Need You Now (DJ Dark Intensity Remix)
Stream
Download
Crystal Castles have overshadowed a lot of other artists these past weeks that have been making significant musical advances. And by a lot of others I'm referring to LightsoverLA and Fenech Soler specifically. Crystal Castles DEFINITELY deserved to hog the spotlight. But now we should go back and look at the little guys in the shadows. Specifically Fenech Soler. The UK-based quad seems to have hit the top of their game in 2009, and many of their songs, have been remixed to hell. I didn't want to put out yet another remix of Stop and Stare, so I got this one :-)
Fenech Soler - Lies (Wolfchild Remix)
Stream
Download
This next K-OS song, released in November 2009, samples the theme song to the OC! (Phantom Planets - California) It's much much better though. I think with proper exposure, this could be one of those Top 40 songs that you hear literally 3 times in every half hour on the radio. I have absolutely no idea where they got the song name though. Maybe it's a codename. Or maybe they were high.
K-OS - I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman
Stream
Download
These next two songs are happy. I really like them. Two Door Cinema Club recently toured with Phoenix. The two are really really similar in style, but Two Door Cinema Club is much younger, and I think that'll mean that there will be more good songs by them than from Phoenix in the future. They're playing a bunch of shows over the US, including in Philadelphia on May the 13th. If anyone is around there, you should definitely go, I promise they're really really good. Something Good Can Work, is a really good cheer me up song, if anyone is feeling down about anything, I would recommend it after something sad like Almost Lover by A Fine Frenzy (Thank you S. Change for showing me that, one of my faves) Gyptian I'm not a fan of. Nor am I a fan of his style of music. Or the fact that I can never understand what he's saying. But curiously enough, this song relaxes me.

Let The Beat Relax...
Hey everyone
I have to say that I was a little worried about what music I would be able to put up earlier this week. But from Tuesday on I've come across so many new exceptional songs that I ended up having to sit through and force myself to cut a lot of good music to leave you with these 7 songs. And seven might be a little too many still. Oh well.
In contrast with many of the upbeat, dubby songs I shared last week, most of the songs this week are quite relaxing and soothing.
I came across the club edit of Deadmau5's Strobe... I feel like it's by far one of his more relaxing songs, and I was kind of shocked that he would actually make something like this, because it doesn't really fit in with the atmosphere of his shows. Not really something you'd expect from a guy in a red mouse helmet.
In any case, it works well as a relaxing playlist with a couple of the other songs that I have for you this time.
Deadmau5 - Strobe (Club Edit)
Stream
Download
Here we once again see the versatility that is Lil Wayne. He can make you want to lick the lollipop, as well as calm you down after you've given up on studying and just don't care anymore. An interesting mash-up with the theme song to the Office... it works quite well I'd say.
Lil' Wayne Vs The Office Theme - Office Musik (Clockwork Edit)

One of the most relaxing songs I have ever heard is Def Starr's remix of Phoenix's Fences. So when I came across this next track mixed by him, I knew it had to be good. He didn't disappoint. Monarchy themselves seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. Everyone I've talked to has the same information on them: that there isn't any. They only have 2 singles out so far, but expect a lot more to be coming out of these guys in the future. Neon Gold Records has a pretty good record for picking up talent so far.
Monarchy - Gold In The Fire (Def Starr Remix)
Stream

MGMT has always been a fave of mine, if you can see them live do it, I went to a concert last October and it was AMAZING. Electric Feel has now been covered by Katy Perry. A relaxing original, put some nice female vocals on it, and it becomes even more soothing. Enjoy.

I have no idea who this guy is. A semi- repetitive but very catchy tune, I like it a lot. Smooth rapping, catchy chorus. Thumbs up. Although I doubt he's the kind of person to have more than one good song ever. Oh well.

Now for some more upbeat (not by a lot more) music. Not much to say, Miike Snow and Sweedish House Mafia. Pretty common stuff.

Welcome to Superiorest
Welcome to Superiorest folks.
I'm trying to keep a weekly email blog, sending you about 5 songs or so that I discover and feel like sharing. In the past, I tried keeping everyone updated via dropbox, but that had a couple issues. First, space filled up quickly. Even if you didn't like a song, it still took up space on your computer. Secondly, there wasn't really a way for me to say anything about the music that I put up, which is important. I'll try out this email business and figure it out. Feedback is very much appreciated, as well as requests for more of certain kinds of music.
Crystal Castles, the powerhouse from Ontario came out with their second album a little while ago. I love it personally. It's features more relaxed beats than their previous songs, which can be a bad thing, but they are all songs that are perfect for relaxing in the back of the club with a couple of drinks.

Since this a "premier" there are going to be a lot more songs on this one than usual. For the most part, I'm going to try and keep it quality over quantity. Sorry for the enormous length of this one, I wanted to start with a bang.
I'm going to try and provide both streaming and downloading links. The download links might still have a few kinks in them. Thanks go to Russell for trying to help me with these. You may have to right click and say save link as for some of these download links.

Swedish artist Robyn, recently announced that she is going to release not one, not two, but three new albums in 2010. Her new single None of Dem leaves me pretty excited for what she can come up with. A dark but enjoyable song:
Robyn - None of Dem
The B.O.B phenomenon continues! He caught my attention with Nothin' on You with Bruno Mars, and he has really started to become a powerhouse. One thing I have to say is that his best songs all feature some other artists; He's had Bruno Mars, Lupe, Jay-Z, and now Hayley Williams of Paramore and Eminem come and accompany him in his song Airplanes. It has two parts, the first one does not feature Eminem continuing with his nonstop self pitying that we have seen him stick to lately. Not that he's not good, but all his songs say the same thing. My life sucked. But I made it big. But it still haunts me. We got it man.
B.O.B ft Hayley Williams - Airplanes (Pt. 1)

The 21 year old Flirtphonic that we knew from Bubble Burst finally has come out with some new music early April. This is a nice track, sticking closely to the intensity of his previous songs.
Flirtphonic - Welcome to the Party
Simian Mobile Disco has teamed up with Jamie Lidell to turn this baby out. I'm not a fan of either of them, so I don't have much to say, but this one is decent and for those of you who like their style, I feel obligated to put this on here.
Symbian Mobile Disco ft Jamie Lidell - Off the Map

Kylie Minogue - Come Into My World (Fischerspooner Remix)
Lil' Wayne - Lollipop (Nasty Ways Remix)
We've seen Harlem's freestyle battler Kinetics partner up with sick beat-dropper One Love and what that combination can make. Their album is one that I would recommend to everyone. However, if you're looking for a more funny song by them, this is one you'd like. (It's very very dirty by the way)
Kinetics and One Love - Horny Girl
This song I found randomly, I've always been a fan of Freeschool, and I discovered he produced some songs parallel to DJ Ammo. I checked those out, and found this one. It's lighter than a lot of other songs on this post
Kelis - 4th of July (Produced by DJ Ammo)
I recently rediscovered some really good songs that I had forgotten. One is by J. Rabbit, showing off some more of his unique style, a hybrid of Pendulum and Nero's dubstep mixes. The other is a sweet mashup of Might Like you Better and Deadmau5's Moar Ghosts N Whatever
J. Rabbit - Ninja Gaiden
DJ Paul V - Might Like Ghosts Better
Last but not least, Punkroses. No explanation. It's Punkroses
Daft Punk vs Outcast - Punkroses
