New Music Tuesday... on Wednesday (Again!)

Yeah, this is the second time in three weeks that New Music Tuesday is running on a Wednesday. No, we're not going to switch it to New Music Wednesday because a.) new music generally comes out on Tuesday and b.) Wednesday take longer to type. Less talking, more listening...

Ke$ha - "Tik Tok (Fred Falke Remix)"
So I've been waiting and waiting until New Music Tuesday to drop this Fred Falke remix of Ke$ha's newest single "Tik Tok." I say "newest" because I honestly have no idea about anything related to her musical output other than the fact that she's the girl on Flo Rida's "Right Round." And while that may not be the best way to break onto the scene, this remix is a straight club-banger. Please try to listen to this and tell me you weren't moving to it. You're a liar. NEXT!

Clipse - "Doorman"
The run-up to Clipse's Till the Casket Drops is in full sprint, and we'll likely hear at least one more track off the album leak before its release on December 8th. If you need me to tell you that The Neptunes produced this track, then you haven't been paying attention. Typical Clipse themes (to wit: drug money, drug culture, drug druggy drugness) don't feel tired... great sign.

Wale (feat. Bun B) - "Mirror"
Kind of a hip-hop/pop day, but Wale's Attention Deficit, amazingly his first proper release, came out yesterday. Hard to tell if the lukewarm reviews are actually indicative of the true quality of the album or represent the feeling that its just not as good as Wale's mixtapes (Mixtape About Nothing, Back to the Feature, etc). Decide for yourself.

Franz Ferdinand - "Live Alone (Delorean Remix)"
I love Franz Ferdinand. I loved Delorean's AyrTon Senna EP that came out this summer. I love this combination of Spain and Scotland so much, I wanna take it behind the middle school and get it pregnant (only Tracy Jordan really understands).

Hot Chip - "Take It In"
And finally, if you thought we were going to stray from hip-hop/pop/electronic music, you were obviously wrong. We started with what is undoubtedly one of the catchiest songs of the year and we're ending with a track from Hot Chip, who are putting out one of the more highly anticipated albums of 2010 (what?!? I have to wait until February??).

Good to be back... Freelance Whales review tomorrow!
