Feelin Good – Michael Bublé

Talk about panty dropper. This Canadian prodigal hero has blessed the world with a voice that has made Sinatra turn over in his grave. And the ladies can’t get enough of it. Neither can I, but c’mon – this dude knows how to make some music.

Don’t ask too many questions – thoughts will cloud your judgment of this rock-solid performance of what can only be classified as pure gold in the music industry. Party on Mr. Buble, party on.

87/100 strange beans for the buble-meister.

RiFF RAFF – TiP TOE WiNG iN MY JAWWWDiNZ

And you thought we were only going to review good music. HA. I don’t have much to say about this artfully crafted piece of cow shit other than it makes me laugh and it will probably get stuck in your head because of how dumb the chorus is.

I cant believe he makes money for this shit; 47/100 strange beans for RiFF RAFF. Jesus he needs to learn how to type with lowercase letters.

NRG – Duck Sauce (Skrillex, Kill The Noise, Milo & Otis Remix)

We got ourselves a DUBBEL DOOZY here. That’s right fuckers; two songs – one post.

Honestly, it’s just one song and a nicely done remix of said song.

So here it is: The original song NRG by Duck Sauce is a killer song in itself. I’ve been a fan of this chinese-take-out-condiment named group for a while and everyone may remember them from their nice hit a few years back Barbara Streisand. This remix is what I’m here to talk about though. Let me walk you through the experience i had when listening to this song for the first time:

I was enjoying a pleasant evening of pregaming with good ‘ole Good Shot when this song happened to come on my phone via a pandora-esque app (its called Songza but that is not the point of my story; look it up on your own free time and finish reading). Next thing ya know, neither of us have the ability to speak anymore as we hear the build-up to this unique musical spectacle gradually encapsulate the room. Good Shot’s shitty little speakers usually don’t do a song justice, but this was an exception. One thing leads to another and boom; I’ve got a raging hard-on as soon as this beat drops. Pretty sure Good Shot shit his pants when it hit. He was definitely crying though. It was amazing.

Getting to the point here, do yourself a favor and pay a few smackeroons for this song; a free download is not the easiest to come across for this particular gem but these guys deserve the $1.29 that you can afford to fork over for a supernatural 4 minute experience that they bundle into this Crunchatizing ballad.

98/100 strange beans to these funky vibin’ individuals. You go Glenn Coco.

Sunburn in December

If you haven’t heard any of SNBRN‘s remixes by now you are in for a real treat. He has remixed the likes of 50 Cent, Ace of Base,  Morgan Page, and Pretty Ricky. Generally SNBRN includes most of the original song and adds his flavor in the form of an enhanced house beat to speed things up. I really enjoy his style because he doesn’t slaughter the track with too much mixing. It is refined yet dirty enough that your friends hot sister will dig. I can’t say for certain that she’ll take her pants off, but there is a chance… Both of these remixes are great for bedroom sessions or to clear your mind after a dark episode of Gilmore Girls.

All She Wants (SNBRN X KLATCH Remix) 85/100 Strange-Beans

Rakfunk- Pryda

Rakfunk by Pryda aka Eric Prydz is a nice little funky jam that I came across a while back. The song is fairly simple yet complex warranting all of my white man dance moves. If you like Trance/Funk/Jäger then this little track should suit you just fine.

Another point: I apologize for the dude in the embedded soundcloud link, but it was the best version available. However, he looks pretty Strange-Beans himself so that adds some bonus points.

84/100 Strange-Beans +2 for the selfie-king +1 for the designer shades

365 Days (Jerry Folk Remix)

Good Shot checking in for the first time here. I first heard this funky dick swinging jam in the Kygo mix on Diplo and Friends. The song starts with some nice girl moans and soft piano…sounds like date night if you ask me. Once that bass guitar comes in hold on to your sphincter because there is a 87.65% chance you will soil yourself.

This song isn’t as weird as we may like, but god damn does it get the Funk done. Now it is your duty to pull up next to someone at a red light and blast this jam.

88/100 Strange-Beans. Diapers Strongly Recommended.

Is It All Over My Face – Loose Joints (?)

I’m a little frustrated since it seems like everyone and their brother wants to claim this song as their own but basically, Loose Joints is who I’m going to give credit for this one.

Here’s the skinny. This smooth beat will make any woman with an afro as wet as the amazon. I am a fan of the funky nature that this song brings to the table and lets be real; when a funk song comes on everyone wants to dance whether they will admit it or not. For a fresh new take on a classic style of music, Is It All Over My Face does the trick, while giving the sly hints of sexual innuendos with the subtlety of a tip-toeing tyrannosaurus rex.

A pleasant 87/100 strange-beans for this bitchin disco beat.

The Fragrance of Dark Coffee – Turnabout Jazz Soul

Ah, a classic rendition of some video game’s soundtrack by this delightfully smooth ensemble. Brings me right back into my freshman year at college. I’ve studied countless hours with this song on repeat and good gracious, it still gives me a raging hard-on every time I hear it. My eyes immediately close as that saxophone takes me into a utopian world of ear candy. Throw http://www.rainymood.com on behind this track and you’ve got yourself the most calm and focused version of yourself that ever has or ever will be. Don’t let this one slide by; do, however, let this one slide right into your soul and slowly caress your jiblets with its exquisite style and form.

 

98/100 Strange-Beans for this one here. You’re welcome, world.

Cut Your Teeth – Kygo Remix

This remix of Cut Your Teeth by Kyla La Grange takes you on a journey to Kygo‘s magical homeland of Bergen, Norway (wherever the hell that is). If you could take the feeling of walking on clouds covered in down feathers while wearing brand new Dr. Scholl’s inserts and put that into a musical form, you would get this song. I can’t stop jiving to this super catchy beat and I have to think that this song has made my life overall slightly better, just from one listen through. How could I possibly say anything negative?

Well, I can.

Sadly, Kygo has a sound so unique that it has become hard for him to do anything other than duplicate this beat in almost every song he has. His remix of Marvin Gaye‘s Sexual healing sounds like someone just removed the vocals from “cut your teeth” and replaced them with Marvin Gaye’s beautiful voice. Nothing wrong with that, but if I’m going to get into a DJ, i’d like to hear something other than the same beat behind every single song that he has. Everyone has ‘their type’ but branch out and a couple of different broads for a change; maybe that will help your sound dude.

 

This one gets a (reluctant) 78/100 Strange-Beans. Good luck with your career, you freaky Norwegian bastard.

Buenosaurus – Heatbeat

So here’s the lowdown on what may be the best name for a song in 2014. I’m a little unsure of what genre to put this song in as it actually fits in the perfect mold for “strange”. To put a tag on it, for now, I’ll call it Electro House, but only because I feel obliged to categorize it.

Here’s the thing. The first time I heard this song, a very strange thing happened to me. When this song dropped it made me let out the wettest fart I’ve ever had in my life. And honestly, I was too preoccupied with the crunchiness of this track that I didn’t even take the time to change my shorts before I decided to go wild out on the dance floor (AKA the break room at my office) simultaneously striking terror into the eyes of the elderly female onlookers.

I mean holy balls. This thing hits harder than Ray Rice hits his wife. If you don’t want to enjoy your alcohol fueled weekends anymore, than don’t go download this song. But if you have any respect for your life, while you’re feeding yourself poisonous liquids, you’ll do the honor of playing this track to send some pleasure into your ear holes as your liver slowly deteriorates.

Bueonosaurus gets a delightful 96/100 Strange-Beans.
