Jadakiss - I Love You (A Dedication to my Fans)
First off this album is terrible. If this is his dedication to his fans he must hate them. Second off I like Jadakiss he's a talented rapper but if he says he's "top five dead or alive" in one more song I'm gonna scream. If I was being generous MAYBE Top 100 (and that's being extremely generous). I don't know anyone in their right mind who could possibly believe that. That would be like if Jason Terry was going around saying he was one of the top five NBA players dead or alive. People would tell him to shut the fuck up. More people should be telling Jadakiss that.

Didn't realize this song was 26 years old (!)
Such a great song, tho..

"We eventually managed to find them near Biskupin, where demonstrations of prehistoric farming are organized. These oxen couldn't be transported to anywhere else, so we had to built the entire studio around them. A scene that lasted twenty-something seconds took us a year and a half to prepare."
I was reminded today while scanning my collection how wonderful late-1990s experimentation was. Nicole Blackman's spoken word poetry over an electronica soundscape by Golden Palomino. I love the melody at 2:30--so peaceful.

Tuvan throat singing group from Russian/Mongolian border. Really mesmerizing. The guy on the far left has one of the most amazing voices I've ever heard--not just in his throat singing but in his "regular" voice. Incredible. Long concert, so if you have an hour and a half to spare, plop down and watch this.

There's just something sexy about a songstress who laments being a drunken mess...

I love her and this song. "Blue Jeans" is also a great one. Is she everywhere all the sudden in the states too? She's H&M's new poster girl so she's all the sudden on every street corner in Europe.

Swift with the nine through a fifty nine fifty.
"Blue Jeans" is my favorite song of hers, good choice. "Summertime Sadness", "Backfire", and "Ghetto Baby" are also of note. She's not big stateside by any means. Her claim to fame this side of the pond is bombing on SNL and having Kristin Wiig play her the following week on Weekend Update. Her charisma makes up for any vocal shortcomings she has.
she's in an h&m commercial here too

i think she sucks, but i seem to be in the minority here and among my friends
i'm with you on this, she is a complete and utter artistic fraud.

Charisma, pin-up girl style, gothic lyrics...I looked up the SNL performance I thought it was quiet human and elegant. People are haters.

I thought it was pretty decent, actually. I love Lana Del Rey, and I've listened to Born To Die endless times this year.

Not sure why I didn't get into this band a hell of a lot sooner.

It's on America's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
Meat Puppets - Too High to Die
Why I didn't try these guys earlier, despite my Nirvana fandom, is a mystery.
