Well, a couple interesting tidbits of news.
-Lupe Fiasco is dropping a mixtape on Thanksgiving day. It's going to better than [insert any other rapper to come out with a mixtape so far this year]'s most likely.
-Eminem is not releasing Relapse 2 this year, like we were told. He's releasing seven new tracks, but not a full CD. Relapse 2 will be out next year.
-Charles Hamilton has returned to the rap game. And no one cares (by no one, I mean me). His sampling is still pretty dirty, but his rap skills? Not so much. Check out his newest, "Charles Hamilton Is Back." I kinda dig the chorus, but with lyrics like "I'm still the big brother on the block/still a lover/and I'm still the color of a twat," I wish he would've handed his sampling job off to someone else.
-"Tik Tok" has been pretty close to played out already. Jay Sean and Jason Derulo are dead to me.
Let's just get to some music.
Hip hop lovers, this post's music is not for you.
Honestly, I've got nothing on this group. I'll have to do some research. But I've been jamming out to this song lately, so I thought I'd share. Dig the electronic sound of Ladytron. Shouts to Mallory Dorfman actually for the tipping me off to the song.

That dude looks like Ringo Starr in the 60's.
Ladytron - Seventeen (drop)
And while we're on the topic of alternative dance music, I'm gonna drop some Passion Pit tunes for you as a prerequisite to a more extensive post in the near future. Once again, a very electric sound, with vocals all over the place, but extremely well put together.
Passion Pit - Sleepyhead
Passion Pit - The Reeling
Expect more on Passion Pit soon.
