![} TBE Digest 6 – 2.24.10 [Gorillaz, Lil Wayne, Major Lazer, B.o.B., Broken Social Scene, ...]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2362422_lg.jpg)
These Digest's are tough to do because there are really only two emotions I feel while writing them: disappointment and bewilderment. The former for bands I love that are delivering sub-par baloney and the latter for bands other people love who are delivering sub-par baloney. These opinions are of course only my own and that's why I persist with this series, because others may be really into these tracks and that is great. Different strokes, ya know. On the other hand, some may just be curious as to what different bands are up to these days. Read it for any [...]

We all know that I am a firm believer in reciprocity, life can't function without it, so when I opened my mail this morning and found a "Thank you"-mail from Barbara (who's cover of KiD CuDi's 'Pursuit of Happiness' I featured yesterday) I was pleased. It's them little things you know. Then, when I read the mail things got a bit more intriguing than the regular thank you for posting-buiz and then came yet another e-mail... Here are some excerpts: We recorded a song just for you. Please know that mostly [...]

Wow, brace yourself it's time for some triforce deluxe! I almost went on the train to say that this collaboration between Snoop Dogg, KiD CuDi & Diplo was like the holy trinity... And well, I'm not the biggest fan of Snoop but I've been longing for 'That Tree' that just premiered on complex.com and it's ay better than I imagined. The track will appear on the upcoming "More Malice The Deluxe Album and Movie" that drops the 23rd of March, and features KiD CuDi and Diplo on the production. What can go wrong? Nothing! I [...]

Snoop and Cudi go a bit "green" on this Diplo-produced collaboration for the former's deluxe edition re-release of his Malice N Wonderland album (entitled More Malice , of course). Beyond a slightly engaging, descending bubble-pop beat supporting the verses and one semi-humorous line from the Doggfather ("Groupies on my head like a kufi"), though, the track never quite lands as the essential release it should be, especially considering the star power it boasts. Shall we say its lacking a certain...ahem, spark ? Or maybe we're just [...]
Train: Yo Axel, you're not still mad about Frank's pizza-man fakeout are you? Axel: I mean, I was really amped about getting my 'za on that day. Train: Don't worry, I've some special jams that should raise your spirits, including a special Cudi cover by some good friends of The Muffin... Axel: Bring ...

The Music Ninja likes all types of music, from genuine acoustic instrumental music to ear-bleeding electronics, we cover it all. Here are the most downloaded songs so far from 2010. While I was making the list I realized it is slightly skewed towards remixes and electronics... perhaps a mayor factor is that most of these electronic songs were well received by The Hype Machine (A music blog aggregator). Nonetheless here it is for all of you to enjoy! I also provided all my facebook fans a ZIP with all the songs. 1. Massive Attack [...]

Don't know much about Barbara except that they are from LA and are trying to get noticed quick by covering artists with more notoriety than them. *Sigh* such an unoriginal strategy! What do you think of this one? It's been getting a lot of buzz but is it better than the original? DOWNLOAD: Barbara 'Pursuit of Happiness (Kid CuDi Cover)'

You know how sometimes you hear a song at your friend's house and it's so good that it causes you to stop for a second, look at them and say, "where the fuck did you get that?" Followed by, "where can I get that?" That's the feeling I just got when I stumbled across this cover of Kid Cudi's "Pursuit of Happiness" done up by some LA fusion band called Barbara . And I'm aware, me discovering this doesn't fall into the scenario I just outlined, but for some reason, the feeling that washed over me matched [...]

Barbara is a three piece pop-electro group from LA. I've never heard of them before, but I couldn't resist a self-proclaimed electro-pop folk outfit covering Cudder. The attached song is a cover of Kid CuDi's "Pursuit of Happiness", which began as a joke after a long night of drinking, and will be your first introduction to Barbara. We are planning to leak a couple tracks from our forthcoming EP. P.S. We usually don't use samples, but you'll notice a clear Iron & Wine sample and the faint humming of the legendary Sam Cooke.

A few years ago I ventured to Memphis and while a fascinating city on its own, I was heartbroken to learn later on that I'd missed an early incarnation of Gonerfest by only a few weeks. Gonerfest has now undergone its 6th incarnation and 4th compilation. The 4th comp wraps up enough RSTB favorites in one package it only digs our lack of witnessing it live in even deeper. The CD wraps up great sets from Jay Reatard, Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Thomas Function, CoCoComa, Gentleman Jesse and finally a new(ish) recording from The Barbaras (but where's the damn album [...]

We don't understand what all the hoopla is about, really. And why is he a little apologetic about it saying he got carried away. He really didn't do anything. We don't see Lil' Wayne and Eminem apologizing for objectifying and disrespecting women. Seriously, parents are not OK with a little hanky panky of stage, but ok with misogyny. Give us a break!

Lady GaGa short on words? Never thought we'd see the day! She took of her glasses, that must be seriousity. And Barbara, she doesn't look ordinary in that suit, she actually looks like the wife of a dead mafioso.
