li’l bear/cloud atlas mix 2 - when the sun shines

(alternate download link)

i’ve had this sitting in my itunes for about a month now, but never felt quite right about it.  oh well.  for the basic idea, check out the first cloud atlas mix - each song in the first half of the mix is mirrored by a cover in the second.  unlike the first one, the middle here is a turning point, not a lynchpin (at least genre-wise - it’s thom yorke meets kanye west, lupe fiasco, and pharrell).

oh yeah, and this one is all hip-hop…then isn’t.

check it out:

1) rihanna (feat jay-z) - umbrella
2) the notorious b.i.g. - juicy
3) kid cudi - pursuit of happiness
4) t.i. - whatever you like
5) blackstreet - no diggity
6) aaliyah - are you that somebody
7) kanye west - heartless
8) crs - us placers
9) william fitzsimmons - heartless
10) the gossip - are you that somebody
11) klaxons - no diggity
12) anya marina - whatever you like

happy friday, y’all.  have some fun.
