If you need a summer album...

...this one's free. Nice, smart, pretty hip-pop soul. It bobs between light and dramatic, with moods from NERD, Beta Band, a bit of Timbaland, maybe a taste of the Dream? Light on the palate, but it's summer you know? Barbeque, patio, driving music, about being in lurve, being drunk, being excited, being melancholy.

Get You High is especially delicious.

Go go go. Get it. (Free!)

Have you downloaded it yet?

Hey Hov,

nice Che shirt, nerd.

Not at all spending the night tracking this whole show down on youtube. Not even a little.

If you could invite anyone living or dead to a dinner party...

In this video Cheryl Lynn is nothing like a pop star or a professional dancer.

Instead she is a bouyant, charming human being.

Nothing happens. She's just engaging. And the video's consumately lovely.

I aspire to hang out with her. Or be her? Or both.




The cutest person at this all cute all the time 80s party.

Round two: Fight!

What music video got this comment on youtube?

(Not really fair, could be almost anything. But I think you'll enjoy)

The Answer.

Let's play...

Introducing a brand new feature, fresh caught this morning.

Let's play a rollicking game of "Name the video this youtube comment comes from!"

Ere it is.

Fair enough.

Ride Remix, Shutterbug (The titles, they are not creative.)

Let second era the Ice Cold remixes be happening for real and not just in my imagination!

Here is a remix of Ciara's Ride with Andre 3000 and Bei Maejor.

Hey, Miss Lady.

Pure spun sugar, right? Yeah, but with Andre for some reason. I will not complain. Getting hit on by Andre 3000 while eating cotton candy in a glitter sun shower: now in song format.

Ciara sounds nice too.

Did he just shout out Nicki Minaj? Sir, he did.

Oh, you missed me? How kind of you to say.

And to get you even more excited about Big Boi's new album (although apparently record label problems might keep Senior Three Stacks off it? What? No!) here's the song you loved three months ago. AND STILL LOVE.

Baby baby, you're in my system.

Not New Track: Charlie Wilson

Hullo All,



Here's a song. It's not new. It's off Charlie Wilson's latest thinger. There was a music video that was centered on Snoop's reality show.

I was entirely won over when he used the phrase "Miss Lady".

Or was it the juxtaposition of the quotidian with the emphatic? Hmm? Stroke chin perspicaciously?

"I went to the mall, just to hang out and stuff and like couldn't find anywhere to park. and then there was this girl and THERE GOES MY BABAAAAYYYY. THERE GOES MY DESTINY. And then she was buying shoes, and I saw her again at the food court. SHE'S GONNA BE THE ONE. WE'RE GONNA FALL IN LOVE. WE'RE GONNA HAVE SOME BABIES."

Mundane details punctuated with dramatic proclamations of strong feelings - this is a formula that works for me.

Also consider that if taken literally, he's actually singing this aloud in the mall. At the girl.

This is the kind of foolishness that brings sweet shoots of spring grass to the tundra of my heart. I am not being snarky, this is a beautiful love song.

I feel like it has a correlate in this:

Which also makes me cozy.

In this one she is explicitly yelling in the church, though.

Because Yvonne Fair is the business.

See?
