I’ll admit, I love Lykke Li. She made it on my top five a few years ago and she remain one of my favorite artist to emerged from Sweden. Anyway, today (October 25^th), Lykke Li offers two tracks from her “Get Some” single for free, and it gives us a glimpse of what’s to come for her forthcoming album, due out next early next year.

HOT SAUCE COMMITTEE PART Y

www.beastieboys.com

Capitol Records and Beastie “the single longest lived hip-hop act” Boys have announced that their new album is called Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 (and it will be released before Hot Sauce Committee Part 1). I know, I know, even MCA is confused when he stated:

“I know it’s weird and confusing, but at least we can say unequivocally that Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 is coming out on time, which is more than I can say about Part 1, and really is all that matters in the end. We just kept working and working on various sequences for part 2, and after a year and half of spending days on end in the sequencing room trying out every possible combination, it finally became clear that this was the only way to make it work. Strange but true, the final sequence for Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 works best with all its songs replaced by the 16 tracks we originally had lined up in pretty much the same order we had them in for Hot Sauce Committee Part 1. So we’ve come full circle.”

From the press release, it looks like maybe Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 is a return to old school rap and hip hop, instead of their weird all-instrumental album, The Mix-Up that they released a few years ago.

Track Listing as follows:


1. Tadlock’s Glasses 2. B-Boys In The Cut 3. Make Some Noise 4. Nonstop Disco Powerpack 5. OK 6. Too Many Rappers (featuring NAS) 7. Say It 8. The Bill Harper Collection		9. Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win 10. Long Burn The Fire 11. Funky Donkey 12. Lee Majors Come Again 13. Multilateral Nuclear Disarmament 14. Pop Your Balloon 15. Crazy Ass Shit 16. Here’s A Little Something For Ya

KT TUNSTALL DOES THE HULU

You can now watch all of KT Tunstall’s music videos, live performances, and various appearances on Hulu at
hulu.com/kt-tunstall.

This is just in time to announce her upcoming tour dates and “Fade Like A Shadow” remix contest with Indaba (the Grand Prize Winner will receive $1000, plus various goodies).

The upcoming tour is for her album, Tiger Suit, which I don’t have, but from what I’ve read, it’s a little folk and a little alternative. I wonder if it’s anything like Drastic Fantastic, then it’s probably worth listening to.

Maybe you can pick up a copy when you see her on tour:
