Stuck In My Skull 458 -- "Stunner"

Song: "Stunner" || Artist: dan le sac vs Scroobius Pip || http://youtu.be/aFSD2IvXecs || 

Comments: Many apologies for getting this entry out so late, guys, but trust me, this is worth it. Let's open by by saying there's a free download, link can be found at http://www.lesacvspip.co.uk. Now let's talk about the artist. Dan le sac vs Scroobius Pip is a producer/rapper duo from England, who I've mentioned a few times. I first brought them up way back in Entry 3, revisited that song in Entry 403, and talked about another song in Entry 23. All of that has been the duo's older work, though -- I haven't really paid them much attention lately.
My failure to pay them attention has been a great and terrible mistake. This song just came out of nowhere, smacked me in the face, sat me down, and taught me a lesson in good music.This song is intentionally aggressive and abrasive, and yet is sounds perfect. This music is angry, the tunes of a burned lover, a scorned beau. The lyrics are deep and angry, full of hate and irony. "Ain't saying I love ya but I probably could / ... have!" God, I love this track. It's so simple in its instrumentation. So angry in its lyrics. So dark. So beautiful. I cant' get enough. Go listen, now.

Stuck In My Skull 403: Songs Revisited, Part 4 -- "Thou Shalt Always Kill"

Songs Revisited, Part 4 || Song: "Thou Shalt Always Kill" || Artist: dan le sac vs Scroobius Pip || http://youtu.be/CWrMGXwhFLk ||

Comments: Hello, all, and welcome to the conclusion of Songs Revisited week! I figured I'd go way back and revisit Entry 3, where I talked about this strange, wonderful song. dan le sac is the producer of this song -- the instrumentation is his work, and the rapping is the work of Scroobius Pip. I have no idea where either of them get their inspiration, but I want some of whatever they're on. DLS's work is fabulous. His weird version of electronic music is truly unlike anything I've heard, from it's weird intro all the way through it's equally odd out-tro. Throughout this uptempo track, Scroobius Pip is dropping common sense all over the place, and let me tell you, it's good to hear. I hate to end the week on such a non-descriptive note, but I truly don't know what else to say. The weird instrumentation melds perfectly with the common sense, and a great track was born. Check it out!

Entry 23-- "Beat That My Heart Skipped"

Song: "Beat That My Heart Skipped"

Comments: From the geniuses that brought you Entry 3's "Thou Shalt Always Kill"-- this song is another exercise in tongue twisters, dispensed by the oddball, excellent British duo. One of the things that always strikes me about this song is how simple the beat is, and yet the lyrics make it feel much more complicated. Check it out.

Entry 3-- "Thou Shalt Always Kill"

Song: "Thou Shalt Always Kill"

Comments: Another favourite of mine, this song is a long list of things that I (generally) agree with. Most importantly: Thou shalt not require Dan le Sac and Scroobius Pip to tell you these things. (Almost as important as "Thou Shalt Not Make Repetitive, Generic Comments on YouTube.") I should note that "kill" in this song is used in the sense of "I just killed that math test," and not "I just took a gun and killed that guy."
