Mixtape: Lupe Fiasco – “Enemy of the State: A Love Story”

Download link, Music, ,

Lupe Fiasco is back.  Though previous album ventures like LupE.N.D., The Great American Rap Album, and LASERS have yet to come to fruition, rapper Lupe Fiasco has no intention leaving his followers empty handed.  “Enemy of the State” is a rockin’ mixtape and proves that he’s still got it.  Interestingly, the original mixtape was released in cassette-style format (continuous start to finish).  If you want that verison, click here.  A traditional separated track-by-track version dropped later; click here for this version.  Tracklist after the break.

Trailer: Family Guy takes on Stars Wars (again!)

Television, Video, , , ,

Family Guy has already parodied Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope with “Blue Harvest.”  MacFarland and company are back at it again, this time spoofing Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back with “Family Guy: Something, Something, Something Dark Side.”  It releases on DVD and Blu-Ray on December 22 on FOX.

DESCRIPTION: “The saga continues as Luke (Chris), Leia (Lois), Han Solo (Peter) and Chewbacca (Brian) have evaded the dreaded Imperial Starfleet led by the cunning, conniving and curiously short evil lord Darth Vader (Stewie), setting up a new secret base on the remote ice world of Hoth. With the rebellion in trouble, young Skywalker must take the advice of his late, and rather lascivious, mentor Obi-Wan Kenobi (Herbert) and learn the ways of the farce under Jedi Master Yoda (Carl) to save the galaxy once and for all.”

Discover new music: kent – “Töntarna”

Music, Video, , ,

kent hails from the great land of Sweden.  There they are a very popular alternative rock group.  They’ve actually been around since the 90’s, but with their latest turn to indie electro-pop things are starting to heat up again for this eclectic group.  EW compares them to the “likes of MGMT, Friendly Fires, Phoenix” with an electro-pop flair, and I couldn’t agree more.  “Töntarna” is the first single off their forthcoming album tited Röd.  It’s available for preorder at Amazon.  Check ’em out!
