White Panda – T.I., Passion Pit, Alphabeat & more
Nov 7th
I’ve posted a few mash ups now but never really focused on one mash up artist. Until now…
I first heard White Panda on a Passion Pit T.I. mash up track, I liked the song but forgot to post about it but a recent listen to an Alphabeat track put them back on my radar. Alphabeat’s Fascination is one of those tracks that people love to hate, they’ll diss it’s pop-yness all day long but will secretly bop to it as soon as it’s on the radio. I always liked the pop riffs and catchy tune but White Panda have that added that little extra by mashing it up with the Superstar Line up of Lil Wayne, Wyclef & Akon.
The duo of Procrast and DJ Griffi seem to be on a streak and have an awesome line up of tracks on their website but here’s two of my favs.

Weezer and Young Weezy Link Up
Oct 25th
A couple weeks ago I posted a video of Weezer in the studio with Jermaine Dupri singing the forthcoming Raditude track Can’t stop partying.
If you thought the Weezer/Dupri combo was odd , the album version actually contains Lil’ Wayne. Whereas with the Dupri version you could still the Weezer influence, the album version sounds more like a Lil’ Wayne featuring Rivers track. The track is synth’d up to the max and Rivers provides a catchy chorus as well as a harmonic but slightly misplaced wooahhhh towards the end. Overall the song is more novelty than anything but I for one would still love to see this collaboration performed live.

Weezer & Dupri Can’t Stop Partying
Oct 11th
Weezer’s music has been very hit and miss over the past few years but I’m always interested to hear what Rivers Cuomo has in store for us. The first thing you’ll notice is the fact that they’ve strayed from their usual backstreetboy’s-esk style album cover. Instead opting for a hybrid dog-kangaroo leaping through a living room. The name of the album is something which we’ve come to expect from Rivers over the past years and with tracks like pork and beans and everybody get dangerous why not name the the album “Raditude”.
I havent heard many of the songs but I definitely can’t wait to hear the Weezer – Lil’ Wayne collaboration. But for the time being you’ll have to settle for Weezer and Jermain Dupri singing “Cant stop Partying” in the studio. Courtesy of Stereogum.
Raditude is out October 27th.
