MP3 ROUNDUP: Cadence Weapon ft. Grimes, Mouse on Mars, Shlohmo

Mouse on Mars – “Polaroyced”

It’s been six years since the last Mouse on Mars album, Varcharz, but later this month the German electro duo will be releasing their tenth record Parastrophics. And holy shit, we should all be very excited. “Polaroyced” sounds like your Super Nintendo just came to life, did a bunch of blow, and called up his fifteen best buds to come party in your apartment, and everybody got laid.

Shlohmo – “Rained the Whole Time” (Nicolas Jaar Remix)

Nicolas Jaar continues being painfully great with this remix of New York producer Shlohmo’s “Rained the Whole Time,” which is included Shlohmo’s new Vacation 12″. It’s a dense, hiss-laden take on the excellent original, and a painful reminder that 22-year-olds are taking over your iPod.

Cadence Weapon – “88” (prod. Grimes)

Cadence Weapon – 88 (Prod. Grimes) by Cadence Weapon

He may be only 26 years old, but Alberta poet laureate Cadence Weapon is pining for 1988, a time when rap was barely any older than he was. Produced by/sampling Montreal’s fast-rising Grimes, the lyrics long for a time when the rap game was simpler while the instrumental creak and grinds like a garbled transmission from the future. And no, he’s not having it both ways, just the best of both worlds.

Interactive Advertisements For Xbox Kinect

Microsoft announced earlier that they will be placing interactive ads within Xbox Kinect. they have also named some of the big names that will act as their advertisers like Chevrolet, T-Mobile, and Sprint. the ads will work depending on the games that the player will be playing. For example, if a player owns a Kinect Joy Ride, then he will be able to test drive a Chevrolet while playing the game.

Xbox Kinect continues to rise in the industry of motion-sensor gaming and is expected to receive more than 3 million sales by the end of the year. this will be sold for $149.99 and with a free game called Kinect Adventures. this will be released by Microsoft on November 4 in US, November 10 in Europe, and November 22 in Japan. there are already several retail stores where you can pre-order yours with bundles like Target, GameStop, best Buy, and Wal-Mart.

Xbox Kinect currently has 2 bundles available; the 4 GB and the massive 250 GB. both bundles come with the latest Slim Xbox 360 with built-in Wi-Fi, wireless controller, Xbox Live, and Adventures. the 802.11m Wi-Fi is the best feature of the Slim 360, and will allow the players to communicate with each other faster and easier. You can also download your favorite movies and games faster with the help of the Xbox Live. this feature also uses 1080p and 5.1 sounds surround system that will allow you to enjoy the game, or the movie better.

The 250 GB is a special edition that will allow you to save more games, and is much bigger compared to the 4 GB Kinect. this will allow you to save your games in the hard disk of your Xbox 360 and not in the console. this will prevent your console from being used every time and will preserve the good working condition of your new console.
