Knowing someone you love don't feel the same way about ya

I don't think I've posted Kid Cudi before on this blog (maybe in passing). As of now, he is one of my favorite rappers. What I like most is his grounding in the indie rock sound. His music is very reliant on the track as opposed to relying heavily on his lyrical content (which is pretty amazing as well).

Take for example my newest Kid Cudi obsession, "Erase Me." The songs lyrical content is pretty great but it has that classic rock sound if you strip away the vocals. It would be a pretty good stand-alone stadium rock track. Or even his more famous song: "Pursuit Of Happiness." It has a base with the indie rock scene-the collaboration with MGMT and Ratatat helps expand the fan base and the range of his musical ability.

Not really sure where I was going with this post, but I sure do love listening to Kid Cudi.

Chill...

Feeling really burnt out right now from senior year. Extremely tired and just want this week to be over. So, just be fair I'll post everyday this week, but each post will be fairly short, sweet, and to the point. So today's song is "Nostrand" by Ratatat. They are an all instrumental band famous for songs like "Loud Pipes" which not everyone would be able to name, but almost everyone I know recognizes it at some level. "Nostrand" is one of the chillest songs I have ever donned headphones for and it is just what I need tonight.

"Nostrand" by Ratatat from Classics (2006)
