What a visual trip.
The singing lips are the best part.

Squeak E. Clean (Spike Jonze’s brother Sam Spiegel) and DJ Zegon (pro skateboarder Ze Gonzales) are N.A.S.A. (North America/South America), highly exciting project that includes interesting guest vocal spots like M.I.A. and Santogold. They are featured on the new N.A.S.A. track Whachadoin?

It´s the time that everyone lists their favorite singles and albums of the year. MGMT and Santogold are high on the lists and I agree, L.E.S. Artistes is probably the best song of 2008 and Time To Pretend also reflects the year very well. But the list that I noticed the most is Slant Magazine´s best singles of the year. Slant puts two of my favorite artists, M.I.A. and Madonna, on top.

1. M.I.A. – Paper Planes
A song about immigration whose sound draws a provocative link between violence and capitalism, “Paper Planes” was the bomb way before that conundrum known as M.I.A. licensed it to Sony and Fox and Billboard and Grammy dutifully responded. This ubiquitous anthem is the singer’s least murky provocation to date, an ironic address of terrorism as a matter of moral and political judgment, but feel no guilt for stomping along to its driving beats. That’s just M.I.A.’s way of pulling up the people to her cause. Also, you know Noam Chomsky’s got it on his iPod.  (Slant / Ed Gonzalez)

2. Madonna – Beat Goes On
No amount of fake scandal and misbehavior (A-Rod! McCain=Hitler!) can make up for the fact that Madonna’s bid for hip-hop relevance flopped. So it’s fitting that Hard Candy’s best song, “Beat Goes On” (a Pharrell-derived, note-perfect hybrid of “Ring My Bell” disco and darkwave tech-hop that also features Kanye West’s best rap of the year), hasn’t even been officially released as a single yet despite garnering substantial airplay on the nation’s biggest dance station. Three cheers for the counterintuitive!  ( Slant / Dave Hughes)
Beat Goes On is so uplifting, it´s one of those songs that makes you believe everything is possible. Listen to Madonna – Beat Goes On below:

Kanye West, Santogold and Lykke Li team up with N.A.S.A. and the result is quite interesting and a pretty fresh track, hip hop meets european electro pop.

Shove It is one of my favorite tracks from Santogold´s debut album. It´s a simple, dub influenced track and the new remix by Switch stays quite true to the original.

Santogold´s L.E.S. Artistes is such a good song that even most of the remixes are great. Here´s an excellent electro dancefloor remix of L.E.S. Artistes by Left/Right. Get it here.

Another brilliant track with an innovative yet easy to crasp remix – Daft Punk´s One More Time by Rynecologist. Download Daft Punk – One More Time (Rynecologist dimgrim creamix) here >>
