Brandon’s TBE Digest 17 – 12.23.2010 [The Get Up Kids, Bon Iver, Tokyo Police Club, Local Natives, Lykke Li, Chromeo, …]
It’s Christmas time. I’m in a cabin in the woods. My stolen internet connection is worthless. My family is going through some stuff. I love you all but I’m just not able to give this post all the detailing that it deserves. I hope that you are too busy with your own holiday festivities to care and can just kick back and enjoy this collection of jams for the interesting mix that they are. Dive in and enjoy. I know I’ve been.
For more jams or by any of these artists use the ‘tags’ links at the bottom of the post!

Don’t worry about it Bro! Keep up the good work and hope u guys don’t run into that family from the Wrong Turn Series. Happy holidays!
Check out Yelawolf’s I Just Want to Party… IMO his best song off of the album Trunk Muzik 0-60
Or Yela’s collab with Big Boi on BB’s You Aint No DJ
any chance of posting a zip file link for this mix? definitely dig it!
deff one of the more solid jam digests you guys have done, keep up the great work and have a happy holidays
Thanks Cleonidas, I’ve been hiding indoors with my pajamas as protection so it’s been good so far…
I checked out that video a few weeks ago and it just didn’t click with me. Dunno, I still dig the wolf though.
oh hell yeah. fo sho.
Sorry, not this time. A few right-clicks will work off that holiday ham!
Thanks man! Glad to provide fresh jams and roger that on the happy holidays. You too!
Thanks for posting my Skinny Love ‘Rerub’. Was great to have it charting again over Christmas.
Hope you’re doing better. The outdoors do wonders when you need them most.
really hoping that yelawolf can pull a nicki minaj when his album comes out. both could absolutely destroy a verse when they were on but had mostly forgettable mixtapes. then nicki brought it and went all out on her album. so yeah, hoping yela can do the same and put it all together for an album.

Thanks to you for mixing that bad boy up! Yeah, all is well here. Thanks for the kind words.
I dunno J, I can’t get into Nicki’s album. What track are you digging the most? I need an entry point.
whaaaaaaaaaaat? aight, since you already like kanye, check out “blazin” – nicki kills a verse, then kanye does an alright one. check out the lead track “i’m the best” where she lays down a great intro to the album. “did it on ’em” not her strongest rapping but has some crazy lines in it, and “moment 4 life” a nice showcase of her singing and rapping while drake puts down a nice verse too.
if you listen to those 4 and get nothing, then i guess nicki isn’t working for you. but this album is definitely working for me.
Hahaha, thanks Rich! Now I know how to approach the album again! Putting it on the checklist now!
