Angel ft. Common - The Game



The Game released an album over the summer called L.A.X.. I'm not exactly a fan of The Game nor did I love his album, but I do like this song. And Common is on the track.

So Light Is Her Footfall - Air



Air's name really gives credit to their sound, it's so light and gentle. All of the songs I've heard by them are real chill.

Rihanna in Vogue Italia




Rihanna is so boss. The fact that she can pull of going topless with pasties and a....crutch? is a testament to this. The photo shoot, done by Steven Klein, is insane!! The clothes are amazing and Rihanna looks like a badass sporting a diamond encrusted skull cane. Check out the full spread below

Empire State of Mind ft. Alicia Keys - Jay Z



Gotta post this. Jay-Z was the reason I started listening to hip hop, before that it was The Killers and Franz Ferdinand. Blueprint 3 makes it album number 11 for Jay and that's impressive.

LMFAO - I'm In NY Bitch



lol sounds like they used Microsoft Sam for the intro. That's basically the only difference, but lets be honest everybody loves a remix

Tom Binns Alice in Wonderland inspired jewelry collection



Jewelry designer Tom Binns collaborated with Disney to create an Alice in Wonderland inspired line for the upcoming Tim Burton re-make. It will feature 35 pieces ranging from $100 to $500, and six pieces under another line costing around $1000 to $2000 (unfortunately neither being affordable for a college student). The collections will debut Spring 2010 and I'm stoked to see the rest of it. I think this is a really innovative marketing strategy on Disney's part, it would also be cool if the jewelry was featured in the movie.

PS - I tried to post the trailer for Alice in Wonderland, but sharing was disabled (a pretty lame publicity move on Disney's part). However, the link to YouTube is below. Tim Burton is great the release date is March 5th 2010 and I can't wait!

Bad Girl ft. Lil Wayne - Britney Spears



Madonna had a track with Wayne so I guess Britney had to jump on it. Just like Triggerman (the Madonna song) the Weezy snippet of Bad Girl is more exciting than the actual song. I have to say too much Britney and not enough Wayne, but it's worthy of a post.

For all the Weezy fans (that is, everyone).



Lil Wayne talks about how he gets rid of his rhyme book and how it effects his music. The result is a 35 minute freestyle called 10,000 Bars, which leads to several mixtapes and the Carter series. This clip is from Behind the Music and the entire episode is airing September 10 on Vh1.

Andre Michelle's ToneMatrix




I can't stop playing with this!! Andre Michelle created a synthesizer triggered by a 16step sequencer that allows you to make your own music. Really simple and really cool.

This track is off So...How's Your Girl? released in 1999, but it's new to me. A very chill jazz/hip hop beat
