People always told me/ That bars are dark & lonely One of the greatest songs of all time - from a group that's made a few songs that deserve that designation. But, talk is often cheap and filled with air, so download for yourself (if you don't have it already). My Morning Jacket: Golden ( zshare link ) They're coming to Radio City Music Hall in June and guess who got free tickets?!?!

Sloppy Heavily Architecture in Helsinki / Boy Least Likely To / I'm From Barcelona / [insert twee band here]-influenced. Seriously awesome. Thanks for the reminder. Download: Los Campesinos: You! Me! Dancing! from their new album or their 2007 EP, both with equally-annoying cover art.
Phallic symbol "Thanks for the drink," I say, all the while dreading the prospect of choking down the Cuba Libre just handed to me. Ever since Spring Break Jamaica, I've hated rum and I think I came out of the womb disgusted by the syrupy-sweetness of Coke (did you know that shit can melt pennies?!?). I guess I could accidentally spill the drink all over the bartop to discolor the muted neon pound notes, balled-up bar napkins, and abandoned receipts. Except that I fear my cousin is enough of [...]
Cause all beef return well done filet mignon The Don, smell of Dom on my breath as I yawn, (slow) when you hoes try to con a pro -Jay-Z, "Cashmere Thoughts" The self-proclaimed God MC is back with a few solid guest appearances... Get em here GO OBAMA! ¡Cambio! ¡Si se puede!
They photograph beautifully...the only argument for keeping nukes around. I don't really enjoy Joe Budden's metaphor-porn lyrical style. Most of the time, it sounds like he takes some pop-culture reference and tries to force it into his rhymes. But, I appreciate Budden's work here (probably because of Mr. Ortiz grounding matters). I mean, how can you hate on "You ain't Kid Rock, can't box the Tommy with your hands." Sick. Tangent: The reflexive response to Joell Ortiz is to compare him to Big [...]
Sorry it took so long LINK DEAD
Hip-hop c. 2008 I should not have been so hasty. This is the song of the day. My oh my! This beat is face-scrunchingly brutal. Download: The Cool Kids - Action Figures
Where can I get those shirts? Got it in before midnight! This song is an instrumental cover of a Classic IV song of the same name. And that Classic IV melody was recently bitten almost in its entirety for the John Legend single, "Save Room." I swear I didn't even use Wikipedia right then. I swear. Download: The Meters: Stormy from the 1969 (bow-chicka-wow-wow) album creatively-named, The Meters.
Many men wish death upon them... "I Choose You" Children, read your album inserts - especially rap album inserts. I've found out about Willie Hutch, The Meters, The Delfonics, The Stylistics and a lot of Motown and 70's funk just because of this simple rule. If that is the only wisdom I impart, I will have done my job as your father. Download: Willie Hutch: I Choose You from The Mack OST [...]
Sure-footed Saddening / Inspirational. Download: The Mountain Goats - Woke Up New
Atlas Sound: Bite Marks from Let The Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Feel , a record that plays at times like a photo album of sidewalk strangers quietly crying as they pass by. The sadness is palpable (heartbreaking, even), but the reasons are not for you to know .
Nigeria was in a hurry when they made the flag. Naledge of the ivy-league educated rap group*, Kidz in the Hall, frequently fluctuates between what side of the rap world he wants to be on. Sometimes, you can hear his potential as he uses his considerable intelligence to pen some incisive, articulate and thrillingly-layered lyrics. And, other times, he falls back to rote rap-isms - rhyming about his clothes, hos and bankrolls. It's a bad habit that he just can't kick. But, he's trying. And, when he succeeds (like on [...]
