That's My Dad. |
Whenever I believe something is fantastic by any means, I instinctively subtitle it as "That's My Dad", since dads are a given synonym for fantastic. Albeit not every father is great, on this website we'll live in our fantasies where everyone's dad goes fishing with you, takes you to strip clubs, concerts and manages to impress your friends with his 96' Impala. That's My Dad: A collection of all things considered, neglected and popularized. |

Shlohmo - Vacation
Changing things up one subtle, graceful step at a time, the under-rated electronic music producer Shlohmo returns with a taste of future sonic endeavors on his three track EP, “Vacation”: a slightly glitched-out polish over a fresh set of wonky, chiller sonic takes stylistically following up his last year’s LP “Bad Vibes”. (7/10)

NotesTop 50 Songs of 2012: #7, The Weeknd - D.D.
I’ll be the freak you can taunt.
Abel Tesfaye’s rendition of Michael Jackson’s “Dirty Diana” was the most slept-on hit of 2012. Coming from his third act mix-tape “Echoes of Silence”, The Weeknd answers all calls by covering his most compared influence: the king of pop. Remarkably enough, Tesfaye delivers and then some. The classic single from “Bad” comes into a new sonic generation with the same high-intensity drama and larger-than-life production style from Jackson’s era topped with a modern, dark and twisted edge. “D.D” follows the rules of essential music covers with dignified grace, adding to what made Jackson’s version essential and blending Tesfaye’s own style in on a pitch-perfect ratio. As the vocal comparison, the resemblance is mystifying.
