Ozzie's Music Showcase Vol. 2 (Rodents Edition)

In the second instalment of my music showcase, I went for a rodents theme, well, enough with the bullshit, here you go.

Modest Mouse - No One's First, And You're Next (Album)

I am not ashamed to say that this was my first experience with Modest Mouse, and the result is a win. These guys are very talented and lack the ability to make a boring record. This one is no different, this album is so good that I added 3 tracks instead of one. However, the other 5 tracks could have easily slipped into my 'Top 3'


Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse - Dark Night of the Soul (Album)

Unlike the first time I talked about this album, I'm focusing on the music this time. This album is written and produced by Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse and performed by such artists as: The Flaming Lips, Super Furry Animals' Gruff Rhys, Jason Lytle, the Strokes' Julian Casablancas, Frank Black, Iggy Pop, the Shins' James Mercer, Suzanne Vega, Vic Chestnut, The Cardigans' Nina Persson, and David Lynch. And like everything the Mouse touches this is dope.


DJ Quik & Kurupt - Blaqkout (Album)

This album has nothing to do with the theme of the post, it is just a really good album. I was pleasantly surprised when I decided to give it a listen. Don't sleep on it, it is dope.

Go DJ...

After the successes of both Guitar Hero and Rock Band, the market for music games is expanding, here comes a new game for fake musicians (I am one).

If you've gotten bored of pretending to be in a band, now it is your turn to be the life of the party. DJ Hero is coming out on October 27th this year and it already secured Eminem, Jay-Z and DJ Shadow to work on the project. The game let you do some interesting mixes from a wide variety of genres and decades.

I personally can't wait for this, it sounds like a lot of fun, but that is not all. Eminem and Jay-z are doing a Co-op cut for the game... I have been waiting for this shit since 'Renagade'



Anyway, the game comes with this turntables shaped controller, does not look half bad. Now I shall leave you with the trailer after the jump.

Drake - Little Bit remix

This is very much a Drake post (by that I mean a "the fan in me" post) ,because I honestly believe this guy is the best artist out. I love all the music he puts out and I post a great deal of his music here. But with this post I thought I'd give you a little insight in to who this guy actually is (you're probably just thinking he's some rapper no one has ever heard of). Aubrey Graham (more commonly referred to by his middle name "Drake") is an actor who played a disable character in the Canadian high school drama Degrassi. Some where along the line he concluded he liked music and started rapping. He released two mixtapes between 06 and 07, the first modestly named "room for improvement". The second is when my love affair with his music began. "Comeback Season" to me was the best mixtape of 07 and just a great collection of music. Ever since then I've been paying attention to Drakes music and he has quite a bit going for him. He started singing (not tpain auto tune stuff either) and received a lot of praise for it, he even managed to get Lil Wayne to perform his song "Money to blow" at the VMA's. That's basically his life in a nut shell and here's his new song, he's singing on it. It's pretty dope.
I've also added another track he did called "Get over it" and his second mixtape, if you get the chance you should definetly check out both. Enjoy and fan boy Dizzuh signing out once again.
