Santigold

"Mark Ronson In Studio" is still fucking hilarious btw.

lawsuit from Santo Gold (jeweler) -> she's now called santigold -> http://www.myspace.com/SANTiGOLD

should've gone with Santos L. Halper

santis partyhouse

I just recently saw the video for Creator, the one song I really like. It's one of the worst videos I've ever seen

In general I think the MIA comparisons are apt not only sonically, but because she has the same half-assedness about her vocals and her persona -- actually much more half-assed than MIA on the latter.

also they both live in clinton hill and think its bed stuy

OH DAMN

pre-brooklyn go hard i dug that shove it joint when i heard it last year on a mixtape after sensual seduction but clicking that vid up top is killin me - folks really argued she wasnt jackin MIA?? how many people could you play that for sight unseen & tell them its the new MIA joint and theyd be like, oh it doesnt sound like her? or ask em who it is & see who comes up

i still think shes cuet inna diamond from crime mob kinda way

Lyrics of that song are also annoying - "I'm creative! I break the rules!" also "I run the streets" - wtf does that even mean when she says it?

i enjoy her music but yah

i dunno i do kinda see her & mia as good role models for young girls who maybe 10 yrs ago woulda gravitated towards i dunno tori amos or some such garbage

hah dont let the lex see that

hahaha ya. i enjoy like 60% of what i've heard but that song is kinda wtf

whos the herb on the decks wearing the "baltimore int'l" shirt

if a year or two from now diplo is collaborating w/another woman of color on some poppy/dancey/rappy shit will that be sort of weird

Actually I was told is was "the real Santogold"... http://www.santogold.com

First time I've ever heard that. I knew Santi had worked on some of Ashlee's songs, and kept meaning to go back and check into it. I LIKES.

Had this since around the year it came out. I really didn't get it. Thought it was half cooked pop rock/MIA wannabe bull. However, listening to it on the way to work and realized it sounded great as a whole. I mean it's influences is worn on its sleeve still, but at least I "get" it now. Plus I tend to forget that MIA is a half cooked Neneh Cherry so it all evens out.

this music is just fucking terrible terrible shit, don't even put neneh's name near this thread

um...wow. It's not that deep or crucial.

And plus, it's hard not to bring up Neneh since she is one of the obvious precursor of these two women.

This album has some awesome songs on it. Any news on an LP2?

New song with Karen O! http://www.lagasta.com/santigold-%E2%80%9Cgo%E2%80%9D-feat-karen-o/

(could a mod change this thread title from "Santogold" to "Santigold" plz?)

NO NEVAH

btw this song is badass

Hey @_M_I_A_ Have you lost a b-side somewhere? I think Santogold and Karen O might know somethin about it...

Still happy she's making new stuff tho

i really like this song

sorta like bow wow wow produced by timbaland

karen's parts of this are way better than santi's

Agree with others. This song is great and it has that "Oh wow of course these two should do a song together" thing to it. I was worried Santigold was going to be an indie one album wonder.

pulled this album out and not sure why i bought it, "creator" slays but the rest = zzzzz city

rong

whoops you don't like "lights out"

ilxor revives like this are him putting a bag of flaming dog crap on ilx's collective porch, except we always fail to realize that the house won't burn down if we don't put it out

lights out is gold

The new Beastie Boys collab is mighty fine imo.

yeah alright "lights out" is pretty alright, the rest of the album is like m.i.a. playing uninteresting pop-punk/ska tunes tho

ilxor revives like this are him putting a bag of flaming dog crap on ilx's collective porch

pretty sure the Santogold thread is not ilx's collective porch, unless we're ignoring the 500 people who worship new order in favor of the 10 who like santigold???

Can we change this title to Santigold yet?

New track!

she has to be totally baiting the m.i.a. thing at this point, right?

song is kinda hot tho

okay yay Santi, I am super interested in you again

There's also this song she guest on by Amadou & Mariam:

*guests

that percussion is like receiving an unrefusable order to break yo fuckin neck

love amadou & mariam so much! "taxi bamako" was my morning hangover music for like three years
