Speak is an earnest Hungarian rapper/masseur/actor. Speak leaves us speechless. Check out his video below. It’s worse than anything we’ve seen during the American Idol auditions. Be sure to wait for the chorus. It’ll send chills up and down your spine like fingernails across a chalkboard.
We love how Speak namechecks Dr. Dre, Snoop Dog, Puffy, L L Cool J, and Tupac Shakur in his sad rap with a classic theme (all he is saying is give peace a chance). We hold heartedly agree with him. Say you stop the war so this song never needs to be played again.
Speak has an unoffical website. Yeeh, c’mon, check it for more information.
Page France straddles the boundary between Neutral Milk Hotel and Sufjan Stevens: Page France sings labyrinthine lyrics laced with Christian imagery over earthy, dynamic music. Their album, Hello, Dear Wind, is a perfect, lazy-afternoon album.
Our friend Mike used to subject us to Les Savy Fav in his car and the music was frankly jarring, but we eventually came to enjoy Les Savy Fav’s Rome (Written Upside Down) EP. When Les Savy Fav released their new album, Let’s Stay Friends, last September, we downloaded it without hesitation. The energy on their new album is infectious and the music is infinitely more accessible than anything we’d heard by Les Savy Fav before. We think the first verse of “Patty Lee” is incredibly funny: we can’t think of another song featuring death and bondage that you can dance to.
