Cypress Hill – “Armada Latina”

Back in the early ‘90s, these guys were Insane in the Membrane, and they meant so much to me then that I actually got excited when B Real showed up on the “Space Jam” soundtrack. Today, they’ve put together a hot track that samples Crosby, Still, and Nash’s “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes” and features Pitbull and Marc Anthony. A perfect fusion of Latin salsa and hip-hop, this track will get you gyrating your hips. And hipping to the hopping.

Serj Tankian – “The Charade”

If the name isn’t familiar, Serj Tankian is the lead singer for System of a Down, and this particular song is a solo track he put together just for the smell of it. Like pretty much every other System of a Down song I’ve ever liked, I can’t decide if I want to laugh at Tankian’s goofy vocal style or really get into the innovative rhythms he comes up with. Give the song a chance and it’ll really grow on you.

The Prodigy – “Stand Up”

This is track #1 off of the original soundtrack for the film “Kick-Ass,” a goofy superhero flick that did very well in the box office this past weekend. Haven’t seen the film yet (but I wanna), however the soundtrack is respectable. This catchy instrumental is the stuff opening themes are made of. Of course, having never seen the film, I couldn’t tell you if it actually is the opening theme or not. It should be.

Check out the red-band trailer (NSFW) for “Kick-Ass” below. The first song played in the background of the trailer is “Stand Up.” Check out the full track below-er at Lala.  As always…

As I write this, Rob Paravonian’s “Pachelbel Rant” on YouTube has been viewed 7.6 million times. To give you a sense of how big that number is, if you put a cinnamon roll in the center of a football field, you’d have a really confusing and pointless scenario because honestly, do you need an analogy to understand that 7.6 million people is a whole friggin’ buttload of views?

In the famous viral video, Paravonian goes through one of the most famous chord progressions in the history of music, showing (with impeccable comedic timing) all of the pop musicians that have ripped off the series of chords over the years. While comedy isn’t necessarily what Fresh Scouts focuses on, there’s no doubting that there’s a market out there for musical comedy, and considering Paravonian grew up playing in orchestras and rock bands he knows the industry maybe as well as any “real” musician out there.

So we caught up with him at a recent show and talked about comedy, music, life, and love, the results of which are here for your viewing pleasure. Watch it, favorite it, subscribe, and then pass it around. We’re aiming for at least 7.7 million views. Think cinnamon rolls on a football field.
