Drawing the Line

Is it acceptable for a straight male to attend an alternative lifestyle party simply in the name of getting something that sounds as gorgeous to my hetero ears as “Complimentary Appleton Estate Reserved Rum?”. Elliot George would do it.

This Ones For My Moms

Cee-Lo is just the most prolific of this throwback neo-neo-soul revolution. And I love it, bring me more Mark Ronson, more Cee-Lo and far more of the relatively unknown LA band Fitz and the Tantrums.

When I’m 35-40, I’m totally starting a band of this kind, possibly before. This is how you bow out with class. “Pop singer retreats from limelight, tours small clubs with retro revival soul band covering Isaac Hayes” would be an awesome headline.

Life After Country Grammar

Oren J. — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 16:10:51 +0000

I remember the first time we heard that “Going Down Down Baby, something something and a range rover, street sweeper baby something something ready to let it go, shimmy shimmy cocoa puff, listen to me know, light it up and take a puff pass it to me know” and little did I know I was gonna heard Nelly and the damn St. Lunatics for the next four years of my life in constant radio play…

Remember “Batter Up?”, that was my jam!

So say you’re the dude that made the beats on Country Grammar, and Nelly goes off into his Sweat/Suit world of “never quite made it to LL Cool J” status and you’re like “my ASCAP checks from the last four years total about 3.5 million dollars” what do you do?

You start creating extremely time consuming 30 minute video dj projects. Thats what you do.

New Wiz Khalifa Single- Black and Yellow

Oren J. — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 17:47:44 +0000

For those that haven’t been following Wiz Khalifa is the most successful rapper out, with the exception of the greats. Turned down tour with Drake, turned down million dollar deals, huge fanbase, became a trending GOOGLE (not just twitter, as in most searched google term) topic the day his mixtape dropped, and he just keeps killing em. This man is the only one keeping hip hop and gangster (sorta) rap alive.

New single.
