Win A Copy of the HBO Original Series Hung Soundtrack

Hung Win A Copy of the HBO Original Series Hung Soundtrack

This needed to be posted a long time ago, but due to all my internet issues while I was overseas, I only got around to it now. When the folks taking care of the Hung Soundtrack first hit me up about doing a contest with them, I almost wet my pants. First of all, it’s HBO we are talking here, the only station on television worth watching. Second of all, it is an awesome show, straight up. And finally, the music on the show is always spot-on. With artists like The Black Keys, Sharon Jones, Grant Lee Phillips, Morcheeba and much more, there is very little room to go wrong. The new season started a few weeks ago, but that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate the summer season and all its glory. With that said, I am happy to announce that Potholes In My Blog has a hardcopy of the soundtrack to give away. What do you need to do? Simply follow the directions below:

1- Follow @PotholesInBlog

2- Tweet: “Follow @PotholesInBlog to win free copy of HBO’s Hung Soundtrack! http://tinyurl.com/2wys4lq

Pretty Lights – Spilling Over Every Side [EP]

pretty lights Pretty Lights   Spilling Over Every Side [EP]Get your dancing pants on, damn it! Here we have yet another free release from the man known as Pretty Lights. And yes, I know he performs live with a drummer but its this Colorado-based produced who makes all this glorious music known as Pretty Lights. Spilling Over Every Side is his second of three EPs he has planned to drop this year and, from the sound of opening track “High School Art Class”, it’s looking like we have a winner on our hands. I might not be the most dancing-prone writer on Potholes, but give me a few drinks, blast some Pretty Lights, and maybe, just maybe, I’ll get my ass moving.

Outasight – “Dear Heartache…” prod. 6th Sense

Outasight Outasight   Dear Heartache... prod. 6th SenseArmed with an A Tribe Called Quest flip from 6th Sense and a summery vibe, Outasight has brought us another leak from his upcoming BBQ-ready project, Never Say Never. Consider it the prelude to his long-awaited proper debut, From Here to Eternity. The problem is, for me, at least, that “Dear Heartache…” doesn’t really sink in until about a minute or two in. It’s definitely a smooth, pleasant listen, but perhaps a little too easy on the ears until he spits on the last verse. The thing is, though, that even an only slightly above-average joint from Outasight  is better than most tracks from a lot of other blog-friendly artists.

You can stream “Dear Heartache…” below and download it after the jump.

Skyzoo & Illmind – “Frisbees”

skyzoo Skyzoo & Illmind   FrisbeesWhen I heard that Skyzoo was going on his mixtape-type-shit for his upcoming collaboration with Illmind, I couldn’t help but get just a little hyped. I really enjoyed The Salvation, but, like others, felt that some of Sky’s best material already came via his previous mixtapes. As such, I had high hopes when these two announced their pairing up for Live from the Tape Deck. The album’s lead single, “Frisbees”, leaked several weeks ago but now we get the video for the track. And while it’s not especially flashy or loaded with special effects, I think Sky’s flow and Illmind’s beat are flashy enough for like five videos. Or 10, even.
