Insult to Injury: Week Ending 10/25 with Meek Mill

Every week, the Noisey editors put their heads together (literally, they touch craniums in a big huddle. It’s sort of cute, actually) and round up everything they’ve been listening to over the week. Here’s what we’re digging. Plus a recommendation from special guest, Meek Mill.

Right now what I probably listen to, I’m probably listenin’ to Future, and this is honestly what I’m listenin’ to. The Weeknd. I like The Weeknd. Anything with Jadakiss on it, Omelly. Jordanne. He’s a singer artist, like, and I ain’t sayin’ these guys just cause they signed to me, like you know what I’m sayin? These are guys I really listen to all day. Jordanne, he’s soulful. I like that soulful music.

Vin Diesel – “Stay” (Rihanna Cover)

Rihanna’s “Stay” as performed by Vin Diesel is perfect, and if you disagree then we cannot be friends. It’s all there in Vin Diesel’s disconcertingly strong baritone: as textured, layered, and full of stories as his left bicep. Between the shadows, gravitas, and Vin Diesel’s pre-torn designer jeans, one universal truth is revealed: Vin Diesel is probably completely hairless all over.

Giuda – “Wild Tiger Woman” b/w “Maybe It’s All Over Now”
I love simple. That’s not to say that Italy’s Guida write songs for drooling, it’s just that their approach, which incorporates glam and 70’s/early 80’s UK punk seamlessly, is straight-forward, good old-fashioned rock n roll. Think Cock Sparrer with big beats/hand claps and you have the idea.

Their last LP Racey Roller quietly became a favorite of mine and with the new single “Wild Tiger Woman” b/w “Maybe It’s All Over Now”, they have another set of sugary, foot-stomping favorites. Check out those new tracks and look for the Let’s Do It Again LP in November (“Maybe It’s All Over Now” is only available on the single).

Radioactivity – Self-titled
What have I been listening to this week? Well does it count if I’ve listened to Radioactivity’s album 4,700 times since I woke up this morning? Once in the shower, once when I was eating breakfast, and then 4,698 times as I was forcing people to listen to it and being like, “Isn’t this good???” But really, I don’t care if anyone listens to it. I listen to it and it instantly raises my mood level from Bummersville to Fuck Yeah! Town. If I had to pick a favorite song, I’d probably pick a little tune called “The Whole Fucking Record” but narrowing it down a little further, I’d go with “World of Pleasure,” Don’t Try,” and “The Last.”

Purple – “Feel Alone”
For the past two days it’s been all about Purple’s Salvation EP, a glowering, witchy, doomed brand of sexy slo-core electronica. Not too much is known about Purple, apart from he’s a Portuguese dude living in London and he’s part of Shlohmo’s WEDIDIT collective. I wish I could post the entire EP, but it’s not out till November 5, so this track—akin to a classic cut of UK garage slowed down 550% and played through a stacked speaker sytstem smothered in molasses—well, this tune will have to do.
