Warm Heart of Africa

Hello.
You name your band The Very Best, and here's what you get. Afro-Pop goodness. Two versions of this song, the first featuring Ezra Koenig from Vampire Weekend. And we at the Unincorporated don't care what anyone says, we are still listening to that album from beginning to end. The second is from hornpoppers Architecture in Helsinki.

Kanye with the Kid

Hello.
We here at the Uninc. think very highly of Kanye West. He is not the best rapper, but perhaps the best songwriter crafting music today. Take this track, which samples the overplayed, over-hyped Lady GaGa into something completely new and ridiculously catchy. This is a Kid Cudi song, with Kanye as producer, but let's be real. This is the Kanye show, at least production wise. Lyrics, nsfw.



Enjoy.

A Unbelievable Concert Experience

Hello.
Last night we traveled to Asheville and at the Social Aid and Live Music Club know as The Orange Peel we witnessed Todd Snider in person. He performed for probably 90 minutes and was on the whole time. Every moment was remarkable.

So here's some Todd, but please, please go see him.

Hypersexualized Awkwardness

Hello.
Look, we like Clarence Carter. But the video for "strokin'" takes the cake. What exactly is the concept? Please feel free to answer this question in comments.


Let's submit two of the best lines:

A:I remember one time I made love on the back seat of a car
And the police came and shined his light on me, and I said:
I'm strokin', that's what I'm doin', I be strokin'


B:I don't stop until I know she's sas-ified
And I can always tell when she gets sas-ified


Ridiculous.
Enjoy.

Depression as Pop

Hello.
Thought we would feature this video by the frighteningly catchy Of Montreal. Odd images, and potent, danceable lyrics about the darkest times in one's life. Oh, Of Montreal.

Garage Rawk

Hello.
Apologies for the delay in posting, although there's unlikely to be any tears shed without the presence of the Unincorporated online for the rest of eternity, let alone a week. Please let us indulge out moment of organizational pity, or as we like to call it, true assessment of blog worth.
Oh, but wait, let's wash away those feelings with some rock and roll. This blog has previously conveyed our love for King Khan and his iterations. Now there is another. Apparently he has joined his usual compadre, BBQ, along with indie darlings the Black Lips. We here at Punk'N Center do not care tremendously for the Lips, however, that may have some do with their music and mostly to do with their haircuts. The song released from this sonic fuzzbox is pretty good and what you may expect from this collaboration. BTW they are called the Almighty Defenders.

Concord with the Conchords

Hello.
Jermaine and Bret are geniuses. The song independent of the video is actually just as funny, if not funnier.

Boogie Down

Hello.
Playing it old school today, in the days before auto-tune. Bask in KRS-One's flow, best moment coming close to the beginning when all his backing tracks drop out and it is just him rapping.



Enjoy.
