Music news / Randomania Tracklist: Ciara & Nicki are out
Posted by Spencer Sloan on Thu, May 23, 2013 at 9:30 AM
>> Stress is a killer. Sometimes we all just need a few minutes alone. Just a couple minutes away from the terrible things on the news and in our minds. 10 deep breaths, in the nose, out the mouth. A time out. But if you're unable to get away, you're chained to your desk, might I recommend raising the headphones to their full and ear-locked position and listen to Ashley Eriksson's "Humming in the Dark." If that's not your cup of Roche, try Ciara's new anthem, "I'm Out (feat. St. Nicki)." And if you like to heal your head with guitars, THIS IS YOUR EVERYTHING.
>> Of course Rihanna is working on a new album. Rihanna is always working on a new album. and hot butt selfies. Rihanna is always working on hot butt selfies.
>> File under Looking Forward To This: Washed Out's new album is out August 13th on Sub Pop, and it will be called Paracosm. Here's the trailer?

>> What is the meaning of life? Who am I? What is my true nature/essence? What is my true identity? What is my greater purpose? How should I live my life? What is death? What happens when we die? Is there a god, and, if so, what is her nature? Also, is Daft Punk's new album, Random Access Memories, good or not?
