Contineing Music Awareness Week (Cool kids)

Name: Cool kids
Occupation: hip hop/Backpacker/rocker
Genre: hip-hop,skater, 80's Hip Hop in 21st Century
Contemporaries: Pharell
Compares: Lupe Fiasco,Star Trax,Clipse,The Pac



When the Cool Kids posted the video "Black Mags," on their MySpace page this fall, they were hoping to do for bikes what Lupe Fiasco's "Kick Push" did for skateboards. "Not everybody can relate to skateboarding, because it's hard to do," says the retro-rap duo's Chuck, 23, who broke his ankle doing skater tricks last year. "But everybody rides bikes." Since "Black Mags" debuted, the Cool Kids have gone from an underground sensation in their native Chicago to the hottest ticket at New York's CMJ festival, where they played with A-trak (Kanye West's DJ) and wowed Warner Music Group CEO Lyor Cohen.From their rope chains to their spare, bass-heavy beats, Chuck and Mikey bring a knowing wink to the style of Eighties heroes like Eric B and EPMD. Their anthem, "88," redo's a track from from Nas' "Made You Look" the duo sounds like music for the soul while also sounding refeshed and new to the ears of the hustla earning its boast of being "the black Beastie Boys." of the 21st century you can also catch them in commericals rock'n to the tunes of the black Mags track

Contineing Music Awareness Week (Fiona Apple)

Name: Fiona Apple
Occupation: Singer/Songwriter
Genre: Rock/Pop: Adult Alternative.
Contemporaries: Alanis Morissette
Followers: Michelle Branch, Vanessa Carlton, and Sara Bareilles

"All along, I really wanted each song to be its own little world," says Fiona Apple. "Every song that I write, I feel like I'm in a different world. And with this album, because it's been such a long period of time, I didn't want everything to sound one particular way."

It's been a long and tangled road for Apple's stunning, intricate new album, Extraordinary Machine. But over the course of six years, multiple producers, business struggles, and life changes, she has maintained a clear sense of her musical vision-and returned with a collection of songs that reconfirms her place as one of the finest singer-songwriters of her generation. From the fragile music-hall lilt of the title track to the rollicking "Better Version of Me," from the fever intensity of "Not About Love" to the dreamy melancholy of "Oh Sailor," Extraordinary Machine reveals an artist with a sprawling, hard-fought range of emotions about love and identity, and with the musical palette to express them all. These are complicated songs for complicated sentiments.


The key that unlocked the project's final sessions was the arrival of producer Mike Elizondo. Best known as Dr. Dre's right-hand music man, Elizondo is also an in-demand session bassist who has played with everyone from Sheryl Crow to Ry Cooder-he had even contributed to When the Pawn.... Elizondo had already presented some rough treatments for the new songs before the leak threw things out of kilter. "When he came in and played some of these skeletal tracks," Apple says, "I remember I was so excited, I called my dad. It made me feel so inspired. And I just know when things are right-I knew, this is how it's supposed to be, and finally it can happen the way it's supposed to happen."


"I've had a surprisingly Zen feeling about this whole thing," she says. "I kind of always knew that it would work out somehow."
