Throwback to 1950s-style pop combined with contemporary Hip-Hop: iTunes Single of the Week, K-OS, meanspeed=64.7 bpm, meanemotion=CEREMONY


The iTunes.com Single of the Week Free download is by an Alternative band called K-OS. As of 4 pm Eastern standard time, iTunes had neither an introduction about nor customer reviews—so we’re on our own.

The speed of the song, a song that was an odd combination of 90s hip-hop and 1950s do-wop triplets, a la Elvis, that certainly was worth the free download.

One of the main purposes set out in the mission statement of Meanspeed Music was the idea of keeping your old favorite songs fresh—keep them from getting played out. So with this song, well, it may not be the wildest masterpiece ever to hit the airwaves. But if the speed of ceremony is your thing, or you love those 1950s Elvis/Louis Armstrong/Fats Dominoe/Neil Sedaka/Otis Redding/everyone else (!) triplets, than this just may be a song for your playlist to keep your fresh your best. Throw this into the mix, and there is a change to recharge an old song. If you cannot measure the speed, please write me at Meanspeed@gmail.com and I’ll get back to you ASAP.

Elemental speeds:
A) meanspeed=64.7 beats per minute, with heavy use of triplets
B) meanemotion=ceremony
C) meanspace=0.927 seconds per beat
