it looks like he was trying to pick-up the other guy's girl who was none other than taryn manning . oopsy. L.L. Cool J "Mama Said Knock You Out (7 A.M. Mix)"
Last week I mentioned that I wasn't able to come up with a song to salute Herohill associate T-Box and his Jacksonville Jaguars. Well I hadn't forgot about it, but I still didn't have much of an idea. However, considering the Jags put up a valiant effort against the all-powerful Patriots this past Saturday, I wanted to send them out with some kind of a tribute. The only thing I could think of was LL's Walking With A Panther . After all, Panthers and Jaguars are pretty closely related. Well I think they are, but who knows, but whatever, [...]

The Nicky Click is made up of many characters and people. Some are: Nicky Click, Petunia Pie, Penelope Parinoid, Plum Precious, and you. When Nicky Click writes in her diary it is Petunia Pie talking. She makes their words and feelings into these songs you hear. This is the new wave of girls making up the words in their bedrooms which will save the world. Nicky Click is a paperdoll unfolding in front of you, so many girls exposed, each so unique. The paperdoll unravels into many, yet all stay connected and fall back [...]
Last year for my big Christmas post I put up every single White Stripes single I owned. This year I'm doing something a bit different and I'm cleaning out my closet of old-school hip-hop and R&B. This isn't all the old-school shit I got, but it's some of the best. Here's hoping all of you have a happy Christmas and stuff. See you next week. L.L.

" Tempting right?? I guess it must be, but Seriously, I promise that my booty does not need your FINGER in it!!!! OMJ! Why did I go to Boondocks the other night, to get some Floss tickets to give away, and as I was talking to Dan Castillo some asswipe (literally->) behind me decides to stick his fucking finger in my arsecrack?!? Is that really how people get to act now? I didn't know this guy, obviously. I probably would've laughed if my friend did it, like when [...]

Those sneaky Russians! Apparently a Russian court has decided that AllofMP3 is not, in fact, breaking any Russian law so the service will resume again shortly. This comes on the back end of dozens of lawsuits filed by the RIAA and various record labels claiming the site is clearly encouraging piracy and was infringing on their copyright. For those unfamiliar with the glory of AllofMP3, it offered DRM-free MP3's in a variety of formats and encoding rates. A basic 192kbps MP3 typically ran 12 cents a song, while a 320kbps song might run 42 cents. Some albums were [...]

It's Friday, or at least it still is somewhere and that means it's time for some Versus nineties loving. I have a special feeling about this weeks selection, something almost magical. I saw these guys in their reunion tour a couple of years ago, it was rad there is like 25 band members. This song takes you right to the place. Arrested Development - Tennessee ( dir ) ( ysi ) Janet tells it like it is. Fuck I love those long drawn out synth notes under the classic hi-hat [...]
Good readers of the hill, I have to ask your forgiveness as I realize many of you logged on to the hill yesterday expecting your usual dose of Old Schooly (D) goodness, and got nada instead. Well maybe that was just Ack, but still, I feel bad about missing yesterday so I wanted to make sure I had it up bright and early for your perusal this morning. I did have the songs ready to go, but a crazy work day Monday and my epic review of Joel Plaskett's Dartmouth show put the Chris Bosh on Old School Mondays actually [...]

Happy Valentine's Day from myself, The Duke from The Late Greats and Heather from I Am Fuel, Your Are Friends . We decided to pool our collective love for love songs for you on this coming special red day. Remember these oft-cited words of wisdom for this day: 1 - If you can't be with the one you love, honey, love the one you're with. 2 - Always love. Hate will get you everytime. 3 - Love makes [...]

I can't recall the year, but if memory serves, it was the third bout between Evander Holyfield and Riddick Bowe. Bowe won the first, Holyfield the second. I'm watching the introductions, filled with the usual pomp of the sport, when Bowe emerges from the curtains and walks out to James Brown's The Payback . Whoa. I really didn't have a rooting interest in either boxer, but I can remember thinking that had to be one of the coolest (and most appropriate) song selections for the situation. The title says it all: a down and dirty vow of [...]
I've been enthralled by the recent writing on the revival of the Incredible Bongo Band's 1972 LP, Bongo Rock, which contains the cover track Apache, a heavily sampled song in hip-hop for its wicked bongo/percussion breakbeat. The New York Times wrote a piece about the album, which is being properly reissued after decades of bootlegging. Soul Sides followed with a little more detail about Apache.

Girl Talk's Night Ripper , this summer's hot blogness, has inspired many conversations between us music geeks. When I got the CD, I grabbed my pad and paper and started scribbling down every sample that I thought I recognized, however challenging it was. So then I e-mailed Heather of I Am Fuel, You Are Friends and after talking about a collaborative post lo and behold she sent me the wiki link to a list of samples and it made our [...]
