So my musical nerd co-writer, Matthew Grosinger, who was supposed to write this week, is disgustingly ill. His voice sounds like Jeff Bridgesâ from True Grit; mind you, heâs a lanky hipster from Ohio. So instead of flying across the country to bring him matzo-ball soup (his favorite), I told him Iâd write something in his absence.
Lately, Iâve been having feasts of fun on a website called We Are Hunted dot com. Itâs a relatively new, yet lovely addition to the web, catering to what we addicts love best: new music, plain and simple.
We Are Hunted is programmed to make your ear-holes smile. Itâs not like Pandora where it automatically plays specific music similar to an artist or song previously chosen, itâs quite the opposite. We Are Hunted is there to show you, âthe 99 most popular emerging songs.â Contrary to Billboard, the songs are each categorized by buzz and genre, not by sales, giving you an experience finding things you otherwise may have passed over.
Take an extra long gander in the remix section. As Iâve admitted before, I have a less than healthy addiction to any content Justin Vernon has ever, and probably will ever create… ever. So when I came across this Das Kapital remix below, I was hooked instantly.
I hope this website gives you half as much joy as itâs given me in the last week (thatâs a lot of joy). And for you, Matt, hereâs something I hope makes you feel better.
You know Anias!? That makes me happy. Yes, I’m a huge fan of that album, especially the tracks he collaborated on. I appreciate the heads up though! Keep the music suggestions coming!
If you’re a Bon Iver fan, like myself, you should really check the Anias Mitchell album Hades Town. Justin Vernon is featured on a lot of the tracks and its fantastic!
This is awesome. I am pooping right now (joke?)
Thanks for the find. I love it already.
