This company offered to pay me a little bit of money if I would talk ‘naturally’ about their site and service. I bit. I check out the site and for my old iPhone 4, they are offering $176. I don’t even have to visit the competition. I am fairly sure this is more than I am going to get anywhere else for an iPhone this old.

So, if you are looking to sell your iDevice and make a little extra $$. Check out sellcell.com and learnhow to sell a phone for $176 in less than 5 days.

Oh, and since I don’t get paid to talk about music, let’s play my favorite new song. As I mentioned on Twitter, “Been waiting for someone to make punk great again. Who knew it would come from Deerhunter? Also digging Milk Music. Where art thou No Age?”

LivingEars Dropbox 8 is here.

My favorite song right now is Justin Timberlake’s “Tunnel Vision.” The album is getting positive reviews and this is the stand-out track for me. Somehow very of-the-moment, futuristic and classic pop all at once. It’s a jam.

For all you into the sweet and sultry female-led tracks that I cover, there is a lot for you in this Dropbox. Check out the latest from AlunaGeorge, Blue Hawaii, CHVRCHES, Haim, White Blush, Purity Ring covering Soulja Boy and a life-affirming Peaking Lights remix of the excellent, new Young Galaxy track “Pretty Boy.” I have put this on repeat for 20-30 minutes a couple of times now. It makes me feel great.

As always there is plenty of rap featured. I have compiled some excellent tracks from the past few months including Action Bronson, Yung Texxus (name that sample!), Rick Ross, Pusha, Wayne, Louie, A$AP Rocky, Earl Sweatshirt and some other guys who are new to the scene.

With 28 tracks spanning nearly 2 hours I am positive you are about to discover some of your new favorite songs. Let me know what you like and be sure to turn me onto some of your faves if you think I’m missing something.

Until next time…

Kendrick Lamar – Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe (Featuring Lady Gaga)

I love the female vocals on this. Nice hook.

My favorite track from his new album, Luxury Problems. It takes a moment to get there, which is typical for the genre, but once it does… this ultra dark, hypnotic noise is met with a powerful dance beat that takes the track to its peak.

Electronic fans be sure to check out Recycle Culture’s take on The xx’s “Chained,” Rustie and AlunaGeorge getting together to add vocals to last year’s excellent “After Light” and if you like Rustie you will like S-Type. His track “Sensi Star” is huge. There is also a Slugabed remix that I really like. Lindstrom, The Crystal Ark and a LOL Boys remix are also included.

Rap fans have some really exciting new stuff to check out… Ty Dolla’s “4 A Young” is an excellent track that shifts midway from a soulful sex romp to a pure pop club track. The sides come together to make one of my favorite tracks right now.

Angel Haze is a new rapper you should check out. Her take on Eminem’s “Cleaning out My Closet” is darker than anything Eminem has ever done. I also included her song “CHI” which shows a totally different side of her. She’s an exciting young artist to watch.

One of my favorite producers right now, Ryan Hemsworth, contributes a cloud rap beat that I like. New joints from Curren$y, Kendrick Lamar and Lil Durk are also included.

As always, let me know what you like and what else you are into right now!

I’m really obsessed with high BPM right now (anyone else remember gabber shows?).

Last year I got really into Rustie.

This year it’s Recycle Culture and Unicorn Kid.

Using Dropbox.com I have created a shared folder called LivingEars.com. As inspiration hits, I will be moving mp3s in and out of that folder. All I ask of you is to check the folder once in a while, drop the mp3s in your iTunes and listen.
