You've Been Acting Awful Tough Lately

Here it is. The Clock Opera Remix of Marina and The Diamonds' "I Am Not A Robot." I've been waiting to put this track up since I heard it this summer and literally could not stop listening to it. I had it on repeat for a long time. I'm sure you'll do the same. Happy Halloween!

Rusko

Here's a remix of Kid Sister's "Pro Nails" by Dubstep artist Rusko. Dubstep is a genre of music with syncopated rhythms and a ton of bass. It's been gaining a lot of ground recently, so I thought I might as well post a song. It's not for everyone, however, as Dubstep is pretty much the definition of crude. This particular song is no exception, but it's pretty sick if you like Dubstep. Rusko is basically the mascot of the genre. Go ahead, give it a listen.

Monster

"Monster" by Kanye West featuring Jay-Z, Rick Ross, Bon Iver, and Nicki Minaj came out a while ago, but I just noticed something interesting in it. The song ends with Bon Iver singing the lines "I crossed the line / I'll let God decide / I wouldn't last these shows / So I am heading home"...
Anyone else find this remarkably similar to what happened last year? Kanye embarrassed Taylor Swift ("crossed the line") then canceled a forty-show tour with Lady Gaga called Fame Kills ("I wouldn't last these shows"), "heading home". The song's called "Monster"... and Lady Gaga's solo tour was named The Monster Ball. Coincidence? I think not.

I can't find the song anywhere on YouTube, and it used to be free to download as part of Kanye's "G.O.O.D. Friday" initiative... If you pre-order his new album on iTunes, though, you'll get the song immediately. Listen to Nicki Minaj's verse. It only goes to further cement her recent hailing as the first female ever to be #6 M.C. in The Game by MTV.

Runaway

Click here to view Kanye West's new short film, "Runaway"
      Finally, after weeks of waiting, visionary hip-hop artist Kanye West debuted his epic short-film "Runaway". The film was simulcast Saturday night on MTV, MTV2, and BET. After watching it for the third time this morning, I can honestly vouch for MTV when they said that "'Runaway' solidifies Kanye West as the greatest pop star of this generation."
      "Runaway" is truly an incredible piece of art, certainly on par with Michael Jacksons's "Thriller" and Pink Floyd's "Pink Floyd The Wall," if not going above and beyond both of those in terms of aesthetic beauty. The fim centers around Mr. West finding a Phoenix-woman who has landed on Earth, taking her in and teaching her about the ways of this world, and the Phoenix rejecting this world.
      Featuring nine of Kanye's songs from his upcoming album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, along with incredible special effects, Nicki Minaj with a British accent, gorgeous sweeping camera angles and model Selita Ebanks as the Phoenix, this is not one to miss. There's a scene at a fireworks show that has Kanye's new song "All of the Lights" (which also contains vocals from eleven other big name artists, including Rihanna and John Legend) which is remarkably beautiful and musically awesome. There's also a four-minute segment in which a dozen ballerinas hold complicated positions while Mr. West performs an auto-tuned conclusion to his song "Runaway" and a crane camera performs swooping, surreal shots. The film ends with the thought-provoking and remarkable "Lost in the World", a soulful song made by Mr. West with Justin Vernon of Bon Iver (the song samples Bon Iver's "Woods"), finishing with an eerie poem about America by spoken-word poet Gil Scott-Heron.
      In my opinion, Kanye West will go down in history as one of the most important musicians of all time. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is set to be released on November 22, and you can preorder the album on iTunes here.

      If you have not seen "Runaway" yet, you can follow this link to Kanye West's website to watch the uncensored version, or watch the clean version below.

A lot of you have probably heard this before, but for those that haven't, it's a really sick remix of Justice's classic track "D.A.N.C.E.". The mix was made by Benny Blanco and features Mos Def and Spank Rock. Enjoy!

Kanye's Runaway

Kanye's new album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, is set to drop on November 22.
Kanye West's second single off of his fifth album, [update] officially titled My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, is called "Runaway"and features new rapper Pusha-T. You'll recall that he performed this track on the VMAs a few weeks ago and on SNL last weekend. You know how the Recording Industry Association of America has dealt with the past two Kanye songs I posted for download, so I'll just stick to this:

Buy it on iTunes here. Let's get this to Number One - Ye's a changed man.

Popular

A lot of you have probably heard this, but I'll go ahead and post it anyway because someone sent it to me, and it's an awesome song with a really fun beat. "Popular" by S-Preme samples a song from the musical Wicked. Pretty good stuff, also - welcome to all new Mixhaüs visitors!
Regarding the picture - you try googling for a picture of S-Preme. THIS is what you get.
