The Winter 2010 Academy Cotton Line

The new Academy Cotton line is here! Here are some pictures of ALL the new items, which will be up on the website over the weekend. When asked for a comment on the inspiration of this line, founders Jack Blasberg, Blake Chasen, and Leo Brossollet responded in unison: Steeziness.

Five For Friday

A little something here to get your Halloween weekend started off. Remember to tune into Bro Talk on Tuesdays from 8-10 on Colby College Radio. Also, if you haven't yet, take the opportunity to go see The Social Network. Its a great movie about an Exeter entrepreneur who makes it big (sound familiar..?) with Facebook.

It's The Dean's List: I'll be Ok
One of my favorite songs from these guys. Catchy chorus, good rhymes. Get pumped for a sweet show a week from tomorrow.

The Ian Carey Project: Get Shaky
THE GREATEST TECHNO SONG OF ALL TIME. Ari Bental's words. But seriously, this song is dope.

Mac Miller: Senior Skip Day
I know, this song's been out for a while, but the video is new. I can't get enough of Mac, and can't wait for his next mixtape to come out mid December. Also check out the video for his new song, Live Free.

Aer: Water on the Moon
These guys are shades of Slightly Stoopid, but aside from that I've never heard anything like this before. Go to goodmusicallday.com and grab their new mixtape.

Bob Sinclair: Rainbow of Love
Bob Sinclair, the guy brings it every time. Enough said.

Exeter Rap Assoc. Fall Concert

ERA made the announcement about their fall concert this morning. In case you missed it, on Nov. 6 our friends from Split Second will be opening for The Dean's List, a Boston based rap group with some serious talent. TDL's song The People appeared in one of the last Bro Talk Five For Friday. In addition, they have an EP available on iTunes. If you're looking for some free music, ERA has put together a sample mixtape of both groups' music to help promote the show. Grab it here. Props to ERA for making this happen.

The Original Smooth

Nothing says more about a man than the drink he chooses. Well, some things probably do, but a drink is important. So when you feel like a quiet night, the go to drink ought to be "The Original Smooth." Mello Yello is a forgotten soda made by Coca Cola, and it is flawless. Some say it's like Sprite, others say Fresca, but let me tell you that nothing tastes better nor is anything classier than Mello Yello. Buy one and then come thank me.

Real Throwbacks

Having a good collection of Throwback Jerseys can increase your steez exponentially. That's why you have to check out Throwback Jerseys at http://www.throwbackj.com. Their website isn't stylish, but it sure gets the job done. And we're not just talking about throwbacks to the days of the Houston Oilers or the Boston Braves. They've got gear from the Negro League, the WNBA, Minor League Hockey, and so much more.

Loggy!

In case you missed it on our facebook page, Loggy, a budding rapper from Berkeley and a standout receiver on their football team, came out with a new song this last week called Free to Be. It's a remix of a song by Phillip Michael and Akon, who are still on the chorus, that packs some serious punch when Loggy jumps on the beat. He kills it (as usual) with his lyricism and flow. All of you should have it by now, but if you don't, it's a must download. Grab it from GoodMusicAllDay.com here.

Five For Friday

By this time you should already know what it is. Five For Friday presented by Bro Talk and Academy Cotton. This week we've got a nice selection of tunes to get the weekend started off right. Don't forget, Bro Talk is back on the air this Tuesday from 8-10 pm on Colby College Radio. To listen in, go to itunes, select Radio, College/University, WMHB. There's no excuse for not listening, you don't even need a radio!
1. Beat Sauce (Duck Sauce vs. Micheal Jackson) – Party Ben
Nice mash up. MJ is a classic, and Duck Sauce's Barbara Streisand is a fun song thats definitely worth checking out.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSSUd9zk2MQ
2. Round 2 –The Cataracs
Every bit as good as Like a G6. A little bit of a different feel on this track though, better lyrics here but not quite a banger on the same level.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WBA8PSSwro
3. 1000 Times Right Round – The Hood Internet
The sound quality on the video doesn't do this song justice. If you missed it, check out The Hood Internet's I'm Going In a Beamer Benz or Bentley mashup. These guys are the hottest new mashup group.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0m7P7bQhAgA
4. Say Yeah (DJ Nallen Remix)
Wiz Khalifa. Thats what's up. Check out the kid's new song, Know Your Name. In the meanwhile check out this hot remix of The Thrill with Better Off Alone.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKCBjPHCha4
5. We Are the People – The Deans List
Very chilled out song, they do a good remix of one of Empire of the Mind's great songs (check them out). These guys are solid, look out for more of their stuff up here.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBL7mzCSzVY

**BONUS**
Two Future Radio Bangers:
We R Who We R – Kesha
What’s My Name – Rhianna f/Drake
We called it. Just sayin.

Even More Split Second

Yesterday, the Prep Boys themselves dropped a new tune on all of us. This one is called Blood Diamond. Great beat, not as Dubstep-y as Innocence. These guys are blowing up all over the place. Check them out on the Campus Gossip or download Blood Diamond on Fresh New Tracks.

The Boys Are Back

This week marks the return of two excellent radio shows: Bro Talk and The OT (Protect Your Ears receives and honorable mention). Broadcasting over the radio to northern New England and to the world over the internet, these shows play the musical gems that commercial DJs miss. In case you're a new comer to the blog, the Bros dish us five quality tracks each week for our Five For Friday (check back tomorrow for the latest edition). Bro Talk is Tuesday nights 8-10. Listen here. The OT is Wednesday from 5-6. Listen here.

New Split Second

On Sunday night, our boys in Split Second announced to coming release of "Skub Til Taget" (push the roof), a Dubstep/House remix EP. With this news they dropped a new song, Innocence. It's a remix of a tight Nero song, so definitely check it out. Grab it here on their band page. Also, if you haven't snagged Polos and Solos or Up Past Lights yet, you're seriously missing out. We'll be back later with more leaks off the EP. Stay steezy

Academy Cotton Boxers Leak

Starting today, Academy Cotton will be leaking images from their upcoming fall line. After the beer pong sweatshirts went off the shelves with a bang, fans have been clamoring for more BP items. After many hours in the lab, the Cotton team has cooked up a pair of BP boxers. Made of the same high-quality PIMA cotton (that good Peruvian stuff) as all their other items, they are dangerously soft; a sure hit for males and females alike. Check back often in the next couple weeks for more leaks leading up to the release of the their biggest line yet.
In case you missed it, you can access the earlier Rasta Half Zip leak here.

Fresh Five for Friday

Our bros from the great northern unknown (Maine) have delivered 5 new jams for the latest installment of the Bro Talk Five for Friday presented by Academy Cotton and the Headless Threadsmen. There are some gems here, a great soundtrack for whatever shenanigans you have planned for the weekend. Hopefully this rain will be gone by tomorrow so you can bump these tunes at your epic tailgates.


1. Ocean of Love (DJs From Mars Remix) - Darren Baille
BANGER. This song has a great build up, and the beat DROPS at 1:03. Great singing and simple vocals complement the rest of the song nicely.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvF1jY00eS4

2. Club Can't Handle Somebody - Mashup Germany
I'm not so much of a Kings of Leon or Flo Rida fan, but together they bring the heat. David Guetta is a genius; if you've been living under a rock for the past couple months you need to give his One Love album a listen (he's on the original Club Can't Handle Me). The Kings of Leon set up Flo Rida's high energy verses.

3. New New New - Bob Sinclair
Bob Sinclair is great, enough said. He does his thing on this track. If you haven't heard of him before, also be sure to check out World Hold On.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJH-cM3glhc

4. Shine On Low - DJ Phillistine
Ludacris has fallen off a little bit since Release Therapy and The Red Light District and seems to be forcing it a little bit now, but this mashup brings back a fun, party feel to his flow. His rap fits well over the techno. Definitely a great party track.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPX5HqFh8rc

5. You Are Not A Robot - Hoodie Allen
Last week we posted about Hoodie's new mixtape, Pep Rally. If you haven't already, you need to download it. The kid has talent. This is one of my favorites off the tape. What happens when sick sampling meets great lyricism? Dope music.

October is here, and that means that Bro Talk will be back on the air in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for show times and check back next Friday for some more jams.
