Chlidish Gambino - Freaks and Geeks
I've been waiting for A legit video from Childish Gambino aka Donald Glover aka Troy from Community. It's here and I enjoy very much.
Curren$y freestyles over Gold Panda's "Heaps"
I know this is sort of old, but I've been watching it a lot lately and decided to share this with everybody. Gold Panda seems to be the perfect person to freestyle over with his beats. This leaves me wondering what other songs there are that need a freestyle over them.. Hmmmm
Eminem ft. B.O.B- Things Get Worse
Check out this new collaboration. I love when these guys work together. Oh and is it just me or does Eminem sound like old school Slim Shady Marshall Mathers?
The Vaccines- If You Wanna
Check out the new music video from blog favorites The Vaccines. We've been hyping up these guys a lot lately and rightfully so. I'm pretty sure that these guys are going to come out of SXSW as stars.
Muppets cover "Dance Yrself Clean"
There are two things I love in the world.. The first is muppet parodies and the second is the LCD Soundsystem song "Dance Yrself Clean" So naturally this made sense to post.
Dr Dre (Ft. Eminem and Skylar Grey) - I Need a Doctor
Dr. Dre is back! He's making baby steps towards finally releasing his new album. He is now claiming it's out on 4/20.. Fitting.

Travis Barker & Clipse- Come on Get It
Don't let Pusha T's solo work scare you into thinking that Clipse is done.. Listen to their new song featuring Travis Barker off of Barker's new mixtape "Let the Drummer Get Wicked" Enjoy!
Rihanna, Kanye and Drake Rocked the NBA All Star Halftime Show
I saw this performance and thought it was on point. Some of my colleagues think otherwise... I don't care what they think though so I decided to post this. Rihanna is a rock star and Kanye is my favorite artist. I think this video is badass. Hopefully you guys think the same.. Enjoy.

Kanye West- All of the Lights
Oh yes ladies and gentleman, Kanye has come out with another brilliant video. Add this to the list of great videos for 2011. This video directed by Hype Williams features... You guessed it.. Lights! This video is done right and features appearances by Rhianna and Kid Cudi. It's great that even without MTV we can still watch music videos. Watch the video below.

Young Minds- Ghosting
Young Minds - Ghosting from Look on Vimeo.
Another happy video for everyone out there. Why all the happy videos? Could I be happy??? Don't get ahead of yourselves... It's just a coincidence. It's probably to counter all the gloom that Radiohead brings in their brilliant new album. I don't know..
Gold Panda- Marriage
How calming and happy is this video? Seriously I was really bummed yesterday about not being able to get presale tickets to the Strokes at MSG. After watching this I just feel that things will be alright.. Does this video have this affect on anybody else?
Yelawolf- Good to Go (ft. Bun B)
Yelawolf's first video since being signed to Shady Records. He's just going to continue to blow up. His flow and beats are too good.

Gil Scott-Heron and Jamie XX- We're New Here
If you are interested in the Jamie XX remix of the Gil Scott-Heron album "I'm New Here" take a listen to to the whole album above. This music is... Interesting? Have a listen and appreciate the free music.
Cee Lo Green- Bodies
I know it's only February but this is already one of my favorite videos of the year. Watch Cee Lo play a lady killer (literally) and be on the lookout for cameos in the newspaper. Truly original video from a truly original guy.
Odd Future- Sandwiches (Late Night Jimmy Fallon)
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the craziest performance in late night history! This is just insane! Late night had no idea what was about to hit them. Odd Future looks like they'd be a great live show.

Of Monsters and Men- Little Talks
Ignore the monster part — these guys aren't nearly as scary as their name implies. In fact, the acoustic folky song is quite happy. Sounds like summer. There's no album yet from the Icelandic foursome, but we'll be sure to loop you in when we get word from Of Monsters and Men of a debut. Enjoy!
Katy Perry ft. Kanye West- E.T (Remix)
]Yes this is real... It's actually sort of badass. Kanye rapping about having alien sex mixed with Katy Perry singing the hook makes his earlier collaboration with Justin Bieber seem normal. Anyway check this song out and see how Kanye makes Katy feel extraterrestrial.. I wonder if Russell is jealous?
G-Side - Nat Geo
Love this song. This beat and song is so sick. Hopefully G-Side continues to put out songs like this.
MNDR- Cut Me Out
The next big thing? I've been listening to this song a bunch today. You should too!

Mumford and Sons, Avett Brothers, and Bob Dylan at the Grammys
My favorite performance of the Grammys last night. Mumford and Sons dominated "The Cave", Avett Brothers dominated "Head Full of Doubt" and then they all joined Bob Dylan as he grunted his way through what looked like a fun ho down that reminded me of living down south. Enjoy!
Wale- The Break Up Song
Did I mention that I hate Valentines Day? Anyway this song is the anti valentine... Love the references to 500 Days of Summer
Sad Love Songs....
So as you all know today is Valentines Day. What you may not know is that it is also my birthday. You may think "Wow that's a cool birthday to have" You couldn't be more wrong. Nobody wants to celebrate your birthday because they are with their significant other and all that can do is remind you of the one that got away. So instead of posting my favorite sappy love songs such as "Something" by the Beatles, I've decided to focus more on the songs representing the lost loves, heartbreaks, and other things that I listen to while thinking about former girlfriends. So without further ado, I present my favorite sad love songs that will probably get me through the day... Happy Valentines Day everybody!
Tyler the Creator- Yonkers
One of the more bad ass vids you will ever see. I love the way that this was shot and I love how Yonkers he gets in it. Warning: Might be disturbing for some of you guys..

Jessie J (Ft. B.O.B)- Price Tag
Jessie J has it all. She's been getting all types of buzz lately in London. She's good looking, can rap and she can sing! She's basically the British Nicki Minaj... Anyway check out her new video featuring B.O.B and you judge whether she is worthy of this hype.
The Streets- Going through Hell
Man it seems like Mike Skinner is always going through hell.. At least he raps about it in a catchy way..
Lady Gaga- Born this Way
Yeah we're not too cool to like Lady Gaga... I don't know if this link will be taken down or not but you can hear the song at Lady Gaga's Website if YouTube doesn't work. I personally like the song and feel like it's a new direction for Gaga. I also like the positive message. To all those that may judge me.. I'm sorry but I was born this way.

How not to Remix Wiz Khalifa...
Alright so I know up top it says that we only write about bands we like but this is ridiculously bad.. Consider this an educational lesson on how not to cover "Black and Yellow" Check out Alabama football player Aaron Douglas give a worse remix of the song than Chet Haze.
The Strokes- Under Cover of Darkness
Listen to the new Strokes song above and fill out the form below to get a free download of the new Strokes song. Yay!!!
New Pornographers- Move
Last night we posted about a music comedy book, and now we are posting a music video featuring a bunch of comedians. The tone of the blog looks to be turning to comedy. I won't complain because over here we are just a couple of punny guys!!! *Crickets* Anyway... Check out this music video from The New Pornographers featuring comedians such as Paul Rudd, Bill Hader, John Oliver and John Hogman. Enjoy!
Jon Glaser Creates his own Rock n Roll History at Book Release Party
Jon Glaser just released a book, and the release was celebrated with some high profile celebrities at a free event in the Brooklyn Bell House. When I heard that Jon writing a book about never before seen documents from famous Rock n Roll bands, I was immediately intrigued. Then I heard the title of the book was called "My Dead Dad was in ZZ Top"... Being a fan of his work on Delocated and Conan O'Brien I couldn't wait to see his take on all these rock bands. If the stories that were read during his release party were any indication, this book seems to be a must buy for music and comedy lovers. The event started with an introduction from Yo La Tengo's own Ira Kaplan stating how all of the documents in the book are true (they're not) followed by Jon Glaser taking the stage to explain how the origins of the book. The rest of the night consisted of friends of Glaser interpreting different stories from the book. The people that did the readings were John Hogman (Daily Show, I'm a PC guy) Scott Adsit (30 Rock) Zoe Lister Jones (Delocated) Jon Hamm and Paul Rudd.

Big Sean ft. Chris Brown- My Last
I'm loving everything that Big Sean is putting out right now. Can't wait for him to finally drop his album.
Prince's Last show in NY turns into a Giant Party!
We usually don't cover big shows here at Freak Out Music. Usually we go for more up and coming acts. This Prince show was an exception. Today was one of those days for me where nothing seemed to go right. Everything just felt off. In the middle of the day I decided that I needed to turn my luck around and on impulse called my friend and decided to go to the last Prince show of his five show run. Man what a good decision that was! Totally killed my bad day and turned it into one that I'll remember for a while. Once the lights dimmed and Prince emerged from the bottom of the stage with a sparkling golden outfit, the crowd went flat out crazy. He opened his set with a rocking version of Laydown and then immediately got the crowd in MSG dancing by transitioning into 1999. What makes a Prince show great is the energy that he brings to his concerts. This was no exception. Whether you like his music or not, you can't deny the fact that Prince is a performer. Whether he is dancing on stage, ripping another guitar solo or sliding to his knees screaming, you can tell that he gives it his all and the audience in turn gave it their all dancing in the stands. For Prince's last show of a 5 run stint in NY, you knew he would have a couple of surprises. One of these happened early on when he brought Kim Kardashian on to the stage to dance with him.

Felt- All the People I Like Are Those That Are Dead
Here at Freakout! we like to focus on the up n coming, but i felt like FELT deserves a mention.. More like a shrine of a blog in there honor. For our followers who have not heard them, oh man, you're in for a tweet, I mean treat. These lyrics people! cmon!
"I've been around this town, and I've see what God has done
I've been around and it's no fun, I've been a two-timer/tearaway God has told me so
But I don't believe in him you know, don't make me martyr for your causes
Becuase I don't believe a word that you said, all the people I like are those that are dead"

Cut Copy - Take me Over
This song will be the dance anthem for the summer. It sounds a tad like Men at Work ya???
Tribute to the White Stripes
As you all know by now, sadly the White Stripes have broken up :( Let us not mourn this loss.. Instead we should celebrate the music that the White Stripes have given us. Their gritty blues, garage rock and the amazing covers. Below I decided to post a couple of vids to help us celebrate their run. I can't put them all on here, so these are the videos I personally liked the most.
Lil Wayne- Green and Yellow
Oh shit! In response to Wiz Khalifa's Black and Yellow Lil Wayne just released Green and Yellow for the Packers. I think the Super Bowl fight songs are better than the game is going to be. I'm a fan of Swiperboy's Orange and White myself.. Go Vols! Anyway who do you think wins the war on fight songs?

Lupe Fiasco- Words I Never Said (Ft. Skylar Grey)
Check Lupe's new single from his upcoming Lasers album which is finally getting released on March 8. Lupe gets political in this song with lines like "Glen Beck is a racist. Gaza strip was getting bombed, Obama didn't say shit" and so on. He doesn't hold anything back in this song. Listen to the song and hear for yourself.
Royal Bangs- Grass Helmet
Grass Helmet by Glassnotemusic
Listen to the new Royal Bangs song "Grass Helmet" off their upcoming album Flux Outside coming in March.

Food Stamps- Silence
I've been really digging this song the past couple of days. Just get past the first minute of the video to get to the song. Listen to more from this Brooklyn based band over at their MySpace.
Walk the Moon- Anna Sun
Could there me a happier video out right now? These guys tore it up at Communion a couple of days ago. Glad I caught them because it led me to this song. This along with the Patrick Wolf video manage to put a smile on my face after every view. If you are still feeling down after hearing the new Fleet Foxes song, this might make you feel better. WARNING: Super happy video
