Ghost in the Shell 

Such a sly and cool track.  It's getting me really stoked for the new Ghost in the Shell coming out later this year.  She doesn't look the same, but ehh close enough.

The 2012 GSF Top 10 List

#10 Chasing My Mind, Holograms

#9 Got No Money, Fidlar

#8 The Dog, Snow Club

#7 Triathalon, Teenager

#6 Lessons, Beach Fossils

Grimes is a hottie.

#5 Genesis, Grimes

Captain Murphy really rocked my socks these last couple of months.  The Flying Lotus, Tyler the Creator, Earl Sweatshirt, and friends collaboration really produced some fun to listen to music.  If you haven't seen the video mixtape, watch Duality in it's entirety here.  Our pick off the album is The Ritual and it stands out as a track a piece of music that can really creep you the hell out if you get into the lyrics.  Ever thought about what it might be like to be a cult member?  Give The Ritual a listen and you'll have an idea.

#4 The Ritual, Captain Murphy

King Tuff came in as GSF's top band of 2012.  Their self-titled album has a number of excellent rock tracks that make us wish that more musicians these days would grow a pair.  Their talent really shows in the composition of Baby Just Break as it builds and gets listeners stoked to shred or just have some fun.

#3 Baby Just Break, King Tuff

I Kontact is the catchiest song on this list.  Whenever the goons are getting pumped for stoner bashing time, this track is always bangin' out the speakers.  Throughout the video, you can't help but wonder if Michael Jackson was ever as cool as this guy.  I mean, I only knew him as the weirdo ghoul thing, but the kid in the video seems like Michale incarnate, but back when he was a cool bro.  Anyhow, this song kiiiiiiiills it.  

#2 I Kontact, Outer Limitz

Full song here

THIS FUCKING SONG!  Every time I hear In Decay I get the groovy bug and want to grind on my girl in that funky way.  It's like taking a happy pill that only lasts 4 minutes and according to my itunes count I've listened to it 116 times.  That's.... 4x116.... almost 8 hours of Phèdre!  Well, what can I say?  they had a phenomenal year and are currently over in Germany recording a new album. Hopefully it's got some golden nuggets like to their last one.

#1 In Decay, Phèdre

Thanks for tuning in this last year, we here at GSF really appreciate it.  MUCH MUCH MORE coming in 2013.  We look forward to having you back.

GOON SQUAD

Captain Murphy

Guess Tosh jumped on the Captain Murph gravy train!  I missed the episode, but caught a 14 second shout out to them.

Ahhhh my favorite CM song filmed at the Low End Theory in LA.  If you listen closely you can hear Gaslamp Killer at the end.

Captain Murphy

Mighty Morphin' Foreskin

The Ritual

I heard the top two tracks off of Gorilla vs. Bear and after a week or two of having them on my playlists, I felt I had to re-post these.  Flying Lotus and members from Odd Future collaborate under the name Captain Murphy, a character off the Adult Swim show, Sealab 2021 whose personality is very similar to Malory on Archer.  Mighty Morphin' Foreskin is a brash track (typical of Tyler & Earl), but produces a very nostalgic feeling by the various samples that pay homage to classic pop culture icons such as Godzilla, Dragon Ball Z, and Street Fighter.

Captain Murphy dives fearlessly into the occult with the Ritual.  Slowed laughs in the create an overarching dramatic and sinister tone that support the flows describing the sacrifice of a virgin.  Captain Murphy has brought something really enjoyable to the table and hopefully these first two songs are just a taste of more to come.  Below is another track by Flylo that features Earl Sweatshirt, check it out!

Between Friends

ft. Earl Sweatshirt

Those were some pretty neat vids too.
