The Juxtaposition Is What I Live For

It's really hard for me to articulate my taste in music. If you were listening to my iTunes on shuffle, you could hear anything from Fleetwood Mac to Waka Flocka to John Talabot. The best way to describe it is that I take an eclectic approach to music; I seek out artists in multiple genres that I can connect to.

One thing I thoroughly enjoy in a song is when unrelated qualities are combined to make something new. The mixture of an aggressive beat, gospel piano, and opera singer in HAM, as well as the end product of a Gil Scott-Heron and Jamie XX collaboration, are examples of the juxtaposition I seek out in music.

The following videos are great representations of what can result from the combination of two entirely different things. You wouldn't think rap and Wes Anderson/Woody Allen movies could work together, yet both videos prove they can.
