N.A.S.A. - The Band

My little brother is going to be shocked at this post. Yes Rick I'm talking about N.A.S.A., yet not the organization you thought. It's the one that puts out amazing music. And well, everyone should take the next few minutes out of your day to watch the videos below.

Their debut album dropped last year to stellar reviews and well its just amazing.
Check out the track list for CD "The Spirit of Apollo"

'The People Tree' (feat. David Byrne, Chali 2na, Gift of Gab,& Z-Trip)
'Money' (feat. David Byrne, Chuck D, Ras Congo, Seu Jorge, & Z-Trip)
'NASA Music' (feat. Method Man, E-40, & DJ Swamp)
'Way Down' (feat. RZA, Barbie Hatch, & John Frusciante)
'Hip Hop' (feat. KRS-One, Fatlip, & Slim Kid Tre)
'Four Rooms, Earth View'
'Strange Enough' (feat. Karen O, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, & Fatlip)
'Spacious Thoughts' (feat. Tom Waits & Kool Keith)
'Gifted' (feat. Kanye West and others TBD)
'A Volta' (feat. Sizzla, Amanda Blank, & Lovefoxxx)
'There’s a Party' (feat. George Clinton & Chali 2na)
'Whachadoin?' (feat. Spank Rock, M.I.A., Santogold & Nick Zinner)
'O Pato' (feat. Kool Kojak & DJ Bãboa)
'Samba Soul' (feat. Del Tha Funkee Homosapien & DJ Qbert)
'The Mayor' (feat. The Cool Kids, Ghostface Killah, DJ AM & Scarface)

Did you see those guest stars? Kanye? Ghostface? DAVID BYRNE!

This production duo traveled all around the world over the span of five years to put together this album which hit stores in the United States in February of 2009. A perfect mix of beats, rhymes, rhythm and just all around goodness. Made from a team of DJ Zegon (former pro skater Ze Gonzales) and Squeak E. Clean (Spike Jonze's brother, Sam Spiegel).

And well its a shame that they have not hit it much bigger until now....

Here are my two favorites!
N.A.S.A. feat. Kanye West in "Gifted"

N.A.S.A. feat David Byrne in "Money"
