Music Links: I See Dead People, Remixing Culture, and Leonard Cohen's New Single


An art project that removes the dead artists from their album covers. The results can be funny or heartbreaking but mostly both.

Coachella anounces their ridiculously stacked line up.   Prepare for a lifetime of regret if you aren't able to go.

An awesome video series on how all creations are essentially remixes of previous creations.

Danny Brown and his producers talk about the making of XXX. A fun read if you are a music nerd.

Spin breaks down the numbers on the files that the FBI kept on the late Ol' Dirty Bastard. It makes me wonder how many files they have on the makers of "rap type music."

Rick Ross releases a new mixtape: Rich Forever. I understand why people hate this guy, but for some reason I have a soft spot in my heart for his ridiculous boasts, brags, and fictional stories. Download here.

New single from Leonard Cohen's upcoming album Old Ideas.

New music by the Canadian alt-country band The Wooden Sky:

A wicked mashup of the Notorious B.I.G. and Kanye West:

I love Rick Ross, but I couldn't stand his new mixtape haha. His albums never disappoint though, so I'm pumped for GFID

I did a quick review of it on my site:

Yeah, Rick Ross is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me. I haven't listened to Rich Forever yet or decided if I will be reviewing it yet but I will let you know when I do.
