I hope the New York Giants get
crushed in the Super Bowl. Not only did they knock my Cowboys out, but
they ruined any chance of me seeing Brett Favre go out on top. Go
Patriots! Anyways, let's move forward by revisiting Santogold (aka
Santi White), an artist that was in this weekend's podcast. When I
introduced her mellow effort known as L.E.S. Artistes I mentioned
that her other stuff sounded similar to M.I.A., and after constant listening
all weekend I decided that today would be a good time to show you exactly
what I meant. As of now she has an EP, I Believe In Santogold,
but supposedly work is underway on a full length that will surely blow minds
whenever it arrives. Board the bandwagon now. Enjoy.

I know you're all going to be thinking of M.I.A. as you
listen to this, so I want to go ahead and point out that if
you do so then it's totally OK. Why? Because
Santi sounds a lot like her here. There's no going
around it. Even after numerous listens the comparison
still pops in my head. Although, I will say
that I think Santi puts more swagger into her sound, which
in the end makes songs like this come off a little bigger
and crazier. My guess is that you'll be fine with
that. I know that I am.
Just so know,
this isn't necessarily a video worth watching unless you're
really interested in scattered pictures of Santi.
However, the song, which is titled Shove It (Switch
Remix), is fantastic. I recommend that you hit play
and then go about browsing the web or whatever else you're
doing.
