Been listening to alot of my Soundtracks lately, and that includes 1998's The Lost Highway. Reznor had a big hand at producing the music for the film and even contributed several NIN songs. This one is the album's highlight and perhaps one of the best songs of the 90's. Enjoy!
There's a list i'm gonna do someday about Hip Hop/Rap songs that feature rock singers. This one has Tegan Quin from Tegan & Sara fame. It also has one of my favourite hip-hop lyrics ever: "The risk is not a slipped grip at the edge of the peak; The real danger is just to linger to base at the thing"

Wu-Tang x Led Zeppelin - "The Wu Tang Zeppelin (Mashup Album)"
This is a little different than a single song but it is what I stumbled onto this week! Enjoy!
One of the coolest movies with the best soundtracks to come out of the 90's was The Crow. Mixing up 80's goth culture and alternative 90's sounds made this one memorable. That combined with the haunting circumstances of the movie, makes any song off this Soundtrack permanently linked to an era in time. This Nine Inch Nails track is actually a cover of a Joy Division song

Souls Of Mischief - "93 'til Infinity"
Here's an old school track that requires your attention. The Souls of Mischief were probably not as familiar as other booming hip-hop artists of the early and mid 90s in itself. But definitely a few names of noteriety are synonymous with the likes of SoM (Del tha Funky Homosapien). This track is debatedly the largest single they put out. Without it, other follow on hip-hop 'groups' wouldn't get the touch to the public without the bolstering this track did to support the West coast hip-hop genre of the time. Enjoy you're Friday and if you're looking for more similar music try some illmatic (Nas) or The Pharcyde. I love the experimental days of Hip Hop.

STRFKR - "Golden Light"
So many good things seem to spawn from Portland. STRFKR is another one of those mutant things. They aren't just another indie rock band, wait, well they are but more in the realm of synth/indie/dance with a wide range of focus and talent. Starting originally as a solo project the group has expanded and so has their album line up since 2007. This track is a gem, turn it on, head out for a drive and turn it up. Chill vibes and easy days...bet you'll start nodding your head in a sleepy daze.
G-Man Atmosphere - "The Waitress"
Was chatting with Dano about this one earlier today. Great track, which also features one of my favourite artists Tom Waits. You can faintly hear him doing some beat boxing over the track. I love how unassuming that is for a great, well known artist. When hes featured on a song, he doesn't need to be front and centre, just as long as it adds something cool to the track
The Beach Boys - "Kokomo"
You don't need to ask. You already know. Get there fast and take it slow.
