If you’re free at all this weekend and are looking for something fun to do, a trip to the movies might be just what the doctor ordered. Sure, you’ve probably been to see a few big summer blockbusters over the last couple of months, but if you’re aching for some air conditioning for a couple of hours, I’d like to throw a recommendation that you don’t miss Straight Outta Compton if it’s playing in your area. The film tells the story of seminal late ’80s/early ’90s hip hop collective N.W.A., who rose to prominence at an important time for race relations in the U.S. It’s got plenty of drama as well as music, which is why I’m bringing it up. Reviews have been very good, so whether you like the music or not there’s definitely a compelling story to be told. Now then, let’s get to today’s Pick Your Poison. Recommended mp3s in this set come from Falling Awake, Noer the Boy, The Persian Leaps and Tree Machines. In the Soundcloud section after the jump, stream songs from All Dogs, helen, Janelle Monae & The Wondaland, King Khan, Kisses, Raw Fabrics, Timmy’s Organism and Wax Motif.
Hue Hef x YRS Jerzy – Brick For Breakfast
The Persian Leaps – Dottie, Queen of the West
Prinze George – Upswing (Dinesh & Lionbeats Remix)
If you’re a fan of the infinite wonder that is outer space, and who among us isn’t, make sure you get outside for a bit this evening as the Perseid Meteor Shower will be in full effect. If the skies are clear over your neck of the woods, there should be a dazzling show taking place as meteors streak across the vast expanse. Because it also happens to be a new moon, things should be brighter and more active than they have been the last several years. Find the darkest open area in your neighborhood, spread out on the ground and take it all in. Once you’re done with that, check out today’s Pick Your Poison, which features tracks from Babes, Chance the Rapper & Noname Gypsy, Jacuzzi Boys and Thayer Sarrano.
