Tor / Sufjan Stevens: Illinoize

I came across these songs by Montreal-based producer Tor that sample a few of Sufjan Stevens's songs from the albums Illinois, A Sun Came, Seven Swans, and Songs For Christmas. MC's include; Aesop Rock, Big Daddy Kane, Gift of Gab (Blackalicious), C.L. Smooth, Outkast, Brother Ali, and Grand Puba.

You can listen and download Illinoize for free here.

Special thanks to Mark White for passing on this information about Illinoize.

Arcade Fire: Lenin

I have posted various times about the Dark Was The Night compilation benefiting the Red Hot Organization. So many wonderful artists are taking part, and I cannot wait to obtain my copy. Recently, Spin.com posted "Lenin", a song that Arcade Fire is contributing to the compliation.

Listen to it here.

It's so great to hear something new from the Arcade Fire (ok, well, it's technically not new. It was cut from Neon Bible, but you get the point I'm trying to make, yes?)

I can't wait to listen to what they come up with next.
