Sorry for the delay we are experiencing technical difficulties but here we are to post Guilty Music Monday number 26. Today we are just going to bring you three songs, but they all come from different time periods. You will see how guilty everyone can be no matter if they’re from 1982 or straight out of 2008.
First we have…
This song is incredibly catchy and no matter how embarrassed you are or how cheesy you think it sounds some how you keep on hitting play. It’s the super catchy hook that keeps you playing it over and over again and again. It sounds extremely inspired by Sebastien Tellier. The only difference is Sebastien is ten times more guilty for the fact that he is only releasing his CD in American Apparel clothing stores.
Now this is a great 80’s song and it wouldn’t be so guilty had it not been the owner of one of the catchiest and one of the most epic hooks ever. “SHOUT! SHOUT! let it all out!” You can’t help but sing along and thats right about where it gets guilty. Singing at the top of your lungs to a cheesy eighties song is a great time but it doesnt stop it from being a guilty pleasure.
And last but not least, we have Marvin Gaye, “Let’s Get It On.” This song will impregnate people just by giving it a play. There may have been a slight boom in population when this song was released. Research is still being conducted.

By executive decision WHH (Yeahhhhh) will be every Friday, or as many Friday’s as required to give you every new hip-hop song ever. I also figured that since I enjoy every song I put in here, it’s sort of pointless to talk about each one because I’d be talking about the same thing for every song. So for the first Friday WHH, I have 4 new songs and a couple of videos. Enjoy!

As promised, a review of The Histories’ demo/EP, There Is Absolutely No Difference Between Anybody (self-released, 2007).
The Histories have been playing their folk-pop-folk all over Los Angeles and myspace for a while now and have garnered a reputation along with Hank May’s Rock Dove and few others as a band that could “make it.” Their debut EP showcases their blended style of accessible, layered instrumentals and unique Krugian/Brockian vocals. Leadman Maxwell Strachan’s strained voice lends an anxious, driving feel to the songs while the soft drumlines and horn-led interludes give the whole piece a livingroom feel. Standout tracks are the opening “Everything Has Its Own Backyard,” which begins with a fairly basic guitar bit but tumbles into a bright upbeat gem. “Like Parties Mean Anything” is the other obvious single, with thumping drums, a doorbell-esque guitar hook and back and forth vocals and catchy lyrics. “This Beard is a Humble Bear!” immediately recalls Modest Mouse with its opening guitar line and runs a bit long at 6:10 losing some force along the way. Closer “Ridge Road” ends the show perfectly with its titular repeated line, “and there’s absolutely no difference between anybody.” In that way, The Histories have here proven themselves wrong, forging a distinct and promising EP that is sure to take them places.
The Histories are playing with The Octopus Project tomorrow at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood, more info here.

Gary Go is a fantastic singer/songwriter from London. Gary was born in the 80s growing up around the corner from famed Wembley Stadium. Starting at a very young age and never stopping, Gary started writing songs on a toy Casio piano. By the time he entered college, he was proficient on enough instruments to start recording concept albums.
Fast forwarding a little while, Gary has already worked with many famous musicians including James Morrison, and Juliette Lewis. He sights his influences as David Bowie, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Kurt Cobain, and London architecture that inspired some of his songs and sounds. Gary later went on to work with famed Eurythmic Dave Stewart’s record label, although he was rejected from Peter Gabriel’s famed studio, Real World Studios. Gary then headed to America to live in Frank Sinatra’s old New Jersey home, and eventually wrote the songs that would land him a spot on Decca Records.
So finally after Gary wrote, wrote, and wrote more music at many different locations, he recorded in Prague, Woodstock, Manhattan, and Los Angeles. Gary’s album comes out soon, and he was generous enough to send us over some tracks.
Gary is a fantastic songwriter who has the chance to make a huge name for himself. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about him, or his music. He is a fantastic guy who makes fantastic, catchy, melodic, entertaining music. His music has an edge that can’t be found within many musicians, and Gary utilizes it perfectly. I highly recommend that you check out his music and visit his myspace.

Instead of randomly making huge hip-hop posts, I decided I’d make it a weekly affair. Since we already have Guilty Music Monday, this will be on some other day normally, but Jockin’ Jay-Z just got leaked thanks to Nah Right and I’m so excited. Let the anticipation for The Blueprint 3, (produced entirely by Kanye West) begin.
Originally played at Kanye’s huge Madison Sqaure Garden show, here is “Jockin’ Jay-Z.” Best line ever: “That bloak from Oasis said I couldn’t play guitar. Somebody should have told him I’m a fucking rock star. Today is gonna be the day that they’re gonna throw it back to you.”
This next song has been in our inbox for a while, and now I’ve finally got around to posting it. This was a potential GMM choice, but it’s a good remix so T-Pain wasn’t enough to get this song onto Guilty Music Monday #25. Sorry T-Pain, maybe next time.
I dislike John Legend, but my extreme love towards Andre 3000 trumps that and makes me have respect for this song. MSTRKRFT makes another remix that sounds the same, yet oddly I still enjoy it.
This next artist is a man by the name of Esau Mwamwaya, and I have a couple of his tracks for you. I don’t necessarily consider him hip-hop, but I like him so much I’m going to pretend he’s the biggest hip-hopper ever.
Last but certainly not least we have one of my favorite up and coming rappers, Charles Hamilton. If you didn’t catch the earlier post I made about him, he has a free mixtape available that you can find on his website. I highly recommend it. Here is his new song, “Jeezy Hamilton.”

I completely forgot about Guilty Music Monday last week, so my deepest apologies. I hope you all can forgive me.
First we have another Journey song. This increases their GMM count to two, which is entirely too many for any band to be proud of. You may recognize this song from Girl Talk’s Feed The Animals CD. This song is featured on the final track, “Play Your Part (Pt. 2). I realized this song was guilty when I heard it at Lollapalooza and started singing it for the rest of the evening, receiving many weird looks… Most of which seemed to say “Are you actually singing Journey?” Therefore, this song is guilty.
I once heard a saying that said “Only two types of people wear sunglasses inside… Assholes and blind people.” I believe the same saying applies to the night.
The tape is a project conceived by Gabriel Gutierrez (gzabriel), Macklin Casnoff (caz4mack), Tristan Rodman(pistachionut), Asher Kaplan (ashkap) and Willie Schube (lupethefiasco).
