Five For Friday – July 11, 2008

So I’ve been out of town the past two Fridays and haven’t been able to get everyone that weekly heat. No worries, I’m back on my grizzly this week. Got some hot jams as usual to get you through that Friday in the office. Peep ‘em.

1. Portastatic  – This is a hot jam, Chapel Hill band, what more could you ask for. I’m pretty sure the guy from the band Superchunk (if you’ve heard of them) is the frontman here. This is by far their best song they have on RN.

2. Gwen Stefani featuring Akon – Now I usually am a Gwen Stefani hater. A lot of her shit gets super played out super quick. Maybe it’s because I’ve been avoiding both the radio and music television a lot lately, or maybe this song just isn’t as popular as her last singles, or maybe it just hasn’t annoyed me yet, but I kind of like this one. I might catch some hate for this one, I’m aware of that.

3. 13 Stories – Girl-fronted Pop band. This reminds me of something that could have been big in the late 80’s. Would be a fun jam for a party I think. Curious as to what peeps think of this one.

4. Kennedy – We all know Kennedy from “Your Mama,” but this is my second favorite track of his. Striaght rockin’!

5. CESAR COMANCHE – HOJ REPRESENT! One of Raleigh’s own right here, and a member of the Hall of Justus. I don’t need to say shit else, you know this is hot. (Sidenote for the hardcore HOJ fan – This song is to the beat that originally appeared on Little Brother’s Chitlin Circuit Volume 1 mixtape as the Krhysis Shoutro. I love how Cesar flips it).
