File Under Awesome: Santigold to produce new Devo album

(via Perez Hilton) Wow 2010 is popping up fresh! On the heels of her successful "debut", Santigold is making power moves with this rumoured production gig with Devo. Apparently she beat out applicants like Snoop Dogg (?!) and Fatboy Slim for the gig.

Nice look Santi!

Best Ofs - 2008 (Camille's favorite songs)

I've been reading everyone's Best Of lists for weeks now and churning mine out in my head. So I figure now is a good time to start hammering them out.

Here are Camille's ten favorite songs of the year in no particular order (with corresponding videos/links):

1. Exile - In Love (actually I think this is my hands down favorite song of the year. so simple and earnest. i usually have to listen to this song two times in a row, at least)




2. Erykah Badu - Healer





The Healer/Hip Hop - Erykah Badu


3. Sam Sparro - American Boy (cover of Estelle track done on BBC)




4. Hercules & Love Affair - Blind (bringing disco house BACK. i MUST see this group live)




5. Jose James - Park Bench People


6. Santogold - Starstruck (Diplo Remix)




7. Jamie Liddell - Little Bit of Feel Good


8. Erykah Badu - Soldier
(this album is HEAT and the TRUTH)



9. Janelle Monae - Violet Stars Happy Hunting




10. Joel Alme - The Queen's Corner

Diplo X Santogold new mixape -->Top Ranking!!!!

Santogold and Diplo have a new mixtape out that is very much in the style of Diplo/MIA's Piracy Funds Terrorism which was also great. I peeped the a track off of it which compelled me to actually go out and buy the CD ( i know sounds like a primitive thing to do these days, innit?).
The track i heard was "Guns Of Brooklyn (Doc and Jon Hill Dub)" which had me absoultely skanking all over my room

and more

Was thinking that Santogold is in a good position because she kind of has the opportunity to take MIA's market share, seeing that Mia cant get into the country and all as well as her music being a bit more political (read: less marketable) than that of Santi. Anyhow, go and cop that mixtape- its really dope.
