from Tom Morello to OutKast
And the song of the day goes to a little gem off The Fabled City, a recent album by none other than Tom Morello, posing as a Nightwatchman and sounding completely different to what you would expect if you know the name ‘Nightwatchman’ purely by the fact that Mr Morello is a member of Rage Against The Machine.
This album is much more mellow than your typical RATM track. You will like this.

Now, onto Cold War Kids second effort, Loyalty to Loyalty, which is just as good if not better than their debut Robbers & Cowards. There is no song here as catchy and loveable as ‘Hang Me Up To Dry’ but, well, that song is hard to live up to. This song is great.
Now, Weezer released their latest album ‘The Red Album‘ quite some time ago to alot of critical acclaim. However, just in case no one has checked it out I shall give you a song which is, for the lack of a better word, perfect. Rivers Cuomo has not sounded this good in awhile. Seriously, in my opinion, this is definently in the top 10 songs I have heard this year.
Not much is heard about Wiley, aside from ‘Wearing my Rolex’ and the fact that he tried to rap over a badly done Daft Punk sample, and while he is in no way on Dizzee Rascal’s level, he is definently a good grime MC. While this track has a bit of a cringe-worthy hook, the beat is BANGING, if you love grime beats, which you do, you will love this beat.
Now, two of my favourite songs ever are by the absolutely fucking amazing duo of Big Boi and Andre 3000, collectively known as OutKast. If you don’t know much about OutKast, then you are really missing out on some good fucking brilliant, genius music. Forget all that wanky wannabe-elitist narrow-minded bullshit about ‘all rap is not real music’ that you usually hear from people who are too scared to let their minds venture outside of the box they stuffed it in back when they did music for their HSC – this is some real fucking music.
