Cee-lo - Fuck You
I admit, I've been a little unreliable with the Song of the Day's recently. It's a lot of work (no it's not), and on some days, I'm actually too lazy to find new music.
Cee-lo's "Fuck You" is a great way to bring this feature out of hiatus. "Fuck You" is instantly catchy; just a down to earth fun pop song that's hard to dislike. Cee-lo sings about gold diggers and cheating bitches, all the while calling them out with a nice chorus of "fuck yous". It's a fantastic pop song, which is sort of ironic, considering it'll only be known in it's edited form to the mainstream public. The edited version will be called "Forget You", and although I've yet to hear it, I can't fathom how it'll be better than this.

Flying Lotus - Camera Day
Flying Lotus - Camera Day (taken from Pattern+Grid World) by Warp Records
To date, Cosmogramma is arguably my favorite release of the year. It's so layered and complex, I just can't get enough of it. What better way to follow this up than with the release of a brand new 7 song EP? Pattern+Grid World is due out September 21 on Warp Records.
To prep the release of this new EP, Warp Records has released a brand new track from Flying Lotus. You can check it out streaming above.
Tracklist:
01 - Clay
02 - Kill Your Co-Workers
03 - PieFace
04 - Time Vampires
05 - Jurassic Notion/M Theory
06 - Camera Day
07 - Physics For Everyone!

Song of the Day 8/17/10
The Wrens - Crescent
From their forthcoming album (their first in 7 years), "Crescent" is simply a demo of a song we'll hear in the future, but that doesn't stop it from being seriously great.

Rollz - The Truth Hurts
Drum and Bass is really hit or miss for me. The fast tempo can easily come across as cheesy, making the music sound more like video game music than anything else. However, up and coming artist Rollz does it right. Featuring some nice bass, this one flows surprisingly well.

Animal Collective - Screens / Mr. Fingers
ACSAC by user482219
From Animal Collective's visual film ODDSAC, it appears that they're back to their mind blowing experimental past. "Screens" sounds like a track from Sung Tongs, while "Mr. Fingers" is a total clusterfuck of samples. This will definitely please the hardcore fans, but nonetheless, we're all still waiting on the August 10 DVD release (pre-order here).

Fucked Up - Year of the Ox
Click here to listen to "Year of the Ox"
The latest entry in Fucked Up's Chinese New Year 12" series might be their best one yet. "Year of the Ox" punches, and it punches hard. But even with it's standard hardcore moments, the song jumps on the experimental side with an extended, almost post-rock intro, beautiful violin solos, and even vocal appearances from Zola Jesus. Fucked Up have come a long way, and their consistency matched with their continuing development might rank them as one of the premier hardcore bands out there.

Freddie Gibbs - Oil Money (ft. Chuck Inglish, Chip Tha Ripper, Bun B & Dan Auerbach)
"Oil Money"[unfortunately, the only version out there right now is edited]
Click the above link to download "Oil Money", the latest track from Freddie Gibbs. This might be his best yet; sick beat, dope lyrics, and great appearances by all the guests. "Oil Money" is slated to be the last track on Gibbs' upcoming EP, Str8 Killa. You can find that record over at Decon Records August 3.

Animal Collective - Baleen Sample (2006)
After releasing the magnificent psych-folk release Sung Tongs, Animal Collective had some songs left over. The follow up EP, entitled Prospect Hummer, was as lush and memorizing as what had been previously released. "Baleen Sample" is just beautiful, driven by hundreds of guitar samples flowing in and out. It's an endless fountain of youth and psychedelia, and when the song finally ends, it's just as easy to pick right back up again.

The Procedure Club - Rather
This is an example of a great music video you can record in under 15 minutes. Yeah, the editing may have taken a bit, but it's still really simple. Not complaining though; a lot of fun to watch. Oh, and they're from Connecticut (holla!).

Magic Kids - Summer
From their debut LP due out August 24 on True Panther Sounds, "Summer" is a fun, indie-pop affair. I really love the strings on this one. Also, the ending reminds me of 1950's doo-wop for some reason. I dig.

Panda Bear - Tomboy
Low quality leaks of "Tomboy", the self titled single to Panda Bear's 3rd album, has hit the internet. I think I can speak for all of us in saying I'm really looking forward to this one. If you like what you hear, you can check out the b-side "Slow Motion" here.

MillionYoung - Day We Met
This is the last chillwave song I'll do for a while. I promise. But in all seriousness, the closer to MillionYoung's second EP, Be So True, is a perfect end to an already brilliant album.

Philip Selway - By Some Miracle
By Some Miracle by Philip Selway
Phil Selway, famed drummer of Radiohead, has announced the release of his debut solo album Familial. You can find details of purchase here, but in the meantime, check out the first track from his album (which Selway is posting online for free on his website!). I didn't know Selway had it in him, but I guess Selway is living proof that drummers can sing...and play guitar...and make really good music. I love how simple this one sounds; not a whole lot going on instrumentally, but the atmosphere created is perfect, further matched by Selway's profound lyrics. Really looking forward to this one.

Ghost Hunter - Island Barbados
Island Barbados by ghosthuntersounds
From his soon to be released Island Barbados 10" (on House Anxiety), the title track is an excellent collage of swirling synths and dubstep rhythms.
