the prodigal son returns


No, we're not dead. Barely hanging on, but not completely expired.

We've been at war with our hosting company, meaning that they wouldn't allow us to access our server and have been cutting off access to important files, so that was a main reason for the hiatus. We're going to try to change hosting companies and make the switch over soon, but it has definitely been a big-ass hurdle.

As well, I've just spent the weekend moving into a new appartment, and have yet to install the internet, so it is making my posting somewhat impossible. I imagine that my colleagues are as busy, but I uploaded a few files before the move, so I'll be able to throw up a few posts this week.

Today's post will focus on a few songs that I've been bumping the hell out of these past few weeks. I know Drake gets a lot of hate, but recently, he's been drinking an epic amount of codeine and has been running with The Weeknd's Abel Tesfaye, so his sound has altered a lot. I definitely dig his new hazy, drugged-out take on r&b, and I'm sure you will too.

Drake- Trust Issues
Drake- Marvin's Room
Drake- Dreams Money Can Buy

Bonus:
Lana del Rey- Diet Mtn. Dew (demo)

A really dope, laid-back tune by a great indie songstress.

For those who still took the time to visit daily, we thank you. These technical problems are a real bitch to deal with, but everything should be back to normal pretty soon (hopefully).

Have yourselves a great evening.

EDIT:

Dope ass video for Marvin's Room.

We've been pretty much dormant since Sunday, as I'm sure you've noticed.

Gold Panda- Marriage (Stranger Day rap edit)

ATV homie Stranger Day just sent this rap edit over, and holy shit, it is tight. His trademark buttery flow fits perfectly over this spacey beat. Just in time for summer. Show the dude some love, he's one of our favorite rappers and has always been a big supporter of Avenge the Virgins.

702- Steelo (Sinjin Hawke & LOL Boys remix)

702's r&b banger Steelo gets a vogue house makeover from Montreal/LA duo LOL Boys and ATV regular Sinjin Hawke. This amazing runway rave music remix was released to hype up the Indecent Xposure showcase scheduled this friday.

SBTRKT ft Little Dragon & Drake- Wildfire (remix)

Whoa, I was really not expecting this. Toronto vs UK vs Gothenburg. Little Dragon and Drizzy add a little flavour to SBTRKT's futuristic bass tune, and the combo really works. Of course, there's going to be haters, but I'm really not mad at this. OvoXo gang, bitch.

The Weeknd- Rolling Stone

Getting faded too long
Got me on this rollin stone,
so take another hit,
kill another serotone.
with a hand full of beans
And a chest full of weed
Got me singing bout a bitch
While I'm blowing out my steam
Yea I know I got my issues
Why you think I fuckin' flow?


A preview of his upcoming mixtape called Thursday. Still my favorite new act of the year, real talk. So dope. xo til' we overdose.

Catch you later for a new edition of Best of the Rest. This hibernation shit is over.
