The best commercial I've ever seen...

Buried Treasure

I've been tied down with rehearsals for my performances this weekend, so I haven't been able to post much. But I needed to let you know about my new love....Adele. I don't know where I've been in '08, but clearly I wasn't around anyone who was aware of her, because I "discovered" her this past Sunday. And I haven't listened to anything else since. It doesn't help that Mick Boogie remixed her album "19" with his own rendition "1988."



Once things calm down, I'll be back to shed more light.

Diggin' in the Basement

As I sit in my living room and watch the Giants get their ass handed to them by the Cowboys, I wanted to end my weekend on a high note. I found some "new" Basement Jaxx (at least it's new to me, which is what really matters). The geniuses known as Basement Jaxx have mixed Adele's "Cold Shoulder" and it is FIRE!!!!!



"Cold Shoulder" is off Adele's debut album "19." She describes her style as "heartbroken soul." I hadn't heard about her until today, but I got her album just off this mix. A review of her album is coming..but for now wild out to this...

I'm Gettin' Smoke Sqaud Money

Let me first say, I mean no disrespect to anyone who may take offense to this song...you're entitled to your own beliefs. With that said...this song is f*ckin' CRAZYYYYYY!!!! The beat is just STUPID and the dance is even more RETARDED. If you gettin' that Smoke Squad Money, grab a stack full of c-notes and get your dance on....

Missing NY....

Concepts and Creativity equals Good Music

I've never heard of this group, Duo Live, before but this song is tight. As usual Joell Ortiz goes in! I'd love to hear Guilty Simpson on this beat...who can I call to make it happen...
