Van She - Changes [MP3 + Download]

Photobucket
Van She is one of many bands that I didn't start listening to until a few years after they reached the peak of their popularity. I almost loafed. If it wasn't for me checking samples on Crystal Castles' first album, I probably would've never found em. Funny how samples work. It turns out that Crystal Castles sampled Van She on one of my favorite songs of theirs, Vanished. [Get it...Van She...Vanished?...alright.] You have to listen closely to get the sample, but it's there.

Anyway, the point of all this is to show you the song Changes which is my favorite track off of Van She's debut album V. It even has a little bit of a Phoenix-y sound around the hook. Check it out.

Also check out the song that started it all, Sex City.

Music of the Moment - January 2, 2009 (2008 Rap Up)

So it's finally 2009. I hope everyone had a safe, fun and restful Christmas and New Year's but it's time to get back to business. Ever since 2002, Virginia rapper Skillz has done a Rap Up of the year before. And the joints are always on point. This year is no different. Check the 08 Edition. [Shouts to Trondella for this one.] LOLMFAO @ "A 'Raisin in the Sun?' You lied/I heard that and thought Flava Flav got a show outside" hahaha. [0:58]
