In lieu of our earlier post featuring Aesop Rock & our general love for The Hood Internet we must make sure everyone is aware of the awesome mashup they posted combining Aesop & The Knife into one glorious creation. I think this is their best work to date & considering all the tracks they have under thier belt, that’s saying a lot.
You know the deal. Swedish brother & sister duo The Knife produce eerie beats with Karin’s even eerie vocals. Fresh new remixes of ‘Marble House’ which is off their ‘Silent Shout’ album.
Last summer the young cats in ‘The Pack‘ probably made themselves a pretty penny off their Vans song. They definitely got notice from some major players in the game. Shortly after the single release Bay Area rapper Too Short become their manager.
The company Vans said that their shoe sales boosted dramatically once the song was in major rotation on radio airwaves. Neither Vans nor The Pack is saying how much of a monetary thank you these boys got from Vans, but I’m sure it was more than just a few pair of Top Siders.
I think I’m gonna write a song about L.A. Gears. Maybe they’ll lace me with a free pair of Lights.
