Don’t Be Afraid To Be Different, Y’all
Spent a lot of time in Soundcloud this week, leaves us with 14 tracks on the Better Spins playlist. Some highlights:
- Logic ft. Will Smith – Don’t Be Afraid to Be Different. Big Willy hasn’t lost his Style.
- GRiZ, Yoshi Flower – Maybe. You could make an iPhone commercial by sampling literally any part of this song.
- Big Gigantic, Gramatik – Better Believe it Now. As the kids say, this song slaps.
- Oliver Heldens – Summer Lover (ft. Devin & Nile Rodgers). Marry techno house with the legend who helped produce Random Access Memories? Please and thank you.
- Goldfinger – 99 Red Balloons. You know you’ve heard a song too many times when you can even sing the German verse (and you don’t speak German).
- Yahtzel – Someone Else (ft. Savoi). Deep cuts from Foreign Family Collective.
Honorable Mentions
- Late June – My Memories. Track itself a little slow for my tastes but if you produce a song with How I Met Your Mother samples, you make the playlist.
- Melissa Etheridge – Angels Would Fall. One of my favorite dark horse karaoke picks.
- Rolling Stones – Blinded By Rainbows. Another throwback courtesy of the iPod in my car that hasn’t been updated since I drove it off the lot in 2009.
