Hey

Im new here. Im Cale, a.k.a. Sleepyhead. As a friend of your favorite blog mistress, I was asked to contribute to this blog and seeing as I am trying to procrastinate from uni work, I figured this was a good a way as any. PS I’m not actually a vegan/vegetarian, but i have no beef with anyone who chooses to live their life that way (Pun definitely intended haha)

Anyways seeing as this is a blog about the cutting edge of stuff thats cool at the moment, i figured id do a biggish post in order to catch people up on what i think is cool.

Drake

Drake is a newish rapper/singer on Lil’ Wayne’s Cash Money Label. He’s recently dropped his new mixtape “So Far Gone” which features him singing/rapping over/creating new versions of songs from Lykki Li, Peter Bjorn and John, Santigold, Kanye West and Jay Z. Speaking of Kanye, with Drake, think of him as the 808′s and Heartbreaks version of Kanye, except he can actually sing.

These Shipwrecks

Okay so this is a shameless plug for my friends’ band, but they’re such nice guys so I gotta put the word out for them. They’re a local Perth band and have been around for a bit now playing a bunch of gigs. Their can be summed up as essentially epic, epic post rock. I think thats the right genre, but you make up your own mind, go see them supporting the Silents this Friday at Amps.

Harlem

Okay, these guys fucking (can I swear on this blog?) ROCK. Tiny band out of Texas, they make kick ass rock music and they release a new cover of a song every month. So far they have done a Devo song, a techno classic, that Goodbye Horses from Silence of the Lambs, amongst others. But yeah “South of France”, an original song is a must listen. Check ‘em out http://www.myspace.com/harlemduh

Alright thats all I can really think of right about now. Im sure I’ll think of/ find something new soon and ill post it up. Untill then here’s a shameless plug (really another one?) for a DJ mix I did the other day. Its electro mostly and hopefully you enjoy it. Once again, the price is right (FREE) so who are you to complain? haha. But seriously, enjoy and any feedback is well appreciated. find it here
