Don't Shed A Tear

"Yo you better act quick because we're escaping to the mothership."

Actually we decided to do a "Craig Kilborn" and disappear for awhile, but hey at least we're not quitting like Sarah Palin.

shred the gnar.

If I Should Die Tonight

This song seems appropriate for the time.
Marvin Gaye - "If I Should Die Tonight"


p.s. that baby that survived the Yemen plane crash earlier this morning is one lucky ass kid.

monday night jam. at the risk of being redundant and obvious this monday night jam is a testament to the late king of pop. his personal history is one ultimately wrought with a sadness as vast in its scope as the joy that is contained in every measure of his music. still my lasting memories of mj will always be good ones; like being seven years old, driving home from virginia with my cousins singing along with "i'll be there" the first time i ever went on vacation away from my parents. and last saturday night, in a car full of those same cousins driving through the grimiest part of newark at 2am with our windows down, grown as hell, bumping p.y.t. and honking at the kids kicking it on the corner gracious enough to reward us with a dance.

here's a slept on mj hit from back in the day.
and here's some people dancing

sunday night jam

ohhhyessssirrrr....what's the 411(1992)

Sunday Night Jam

A triple threat type night for y'all.

First, we give you Thao Nguyen doing a performance of her song "Big Kids Table" that she did for a Parisian radio station:


Second, we have some Consequence and Kid Cudi doing a little twist on A Tribe Called Quest's "Buggin Out"


The final hit for the night was requested in the comments from last week, actually the only comment from last week. Whatever. It's a little country and a little slow but it might be my favourite Garth Brooks song even though he released it when he was pretending to be Chris Gaines, but "It Don't Matter To The Sun" kicks ass.

Dammit! It's not on youtube. Well if you ever get a chance to listen to it, do so. But don't bother listening to that Rosie Thomas cover. It's good but it ain't no Garth.

To make up for it here is Garth doing "More Than a Memory"

I Was Thinking What You Are Saying

Sometimes I love the guy and other times it's like he is talking jambalaya. This is one of those times I love him.

Maher is pretty spot on with his assesment of Obama: "Get out of the spotlight and do something! You're like Lindsay Lohan."

Obama has good intentions, but good intentions can be wasted without a good fight. To be fair, he has completed a lot of little task, but where are the big things? Why does it seem like he is just dancing around serious change? He is reminding me of that girl is high school that flirted like crazy, but never put out. This needs to change.

Take a gander:

Eff this Attorney

ESPN's Reilly reports on: Alfred G. Rava , who makes $ suing organizations like the Oakland A's for giving women (and only women) "floppy sun hats" as a Mother's Day game-day promotion to support breast cancer. Alfie considers this male-discrimination. It is also quite bankable - he just won a grip of cash. Although I cannot completely fault a man who games a judicial system that is somewhat easy to game, the fact that his mom died of breast cancer makes his practice particularly unsavory.

Alfred G. Rava - men can get breast cancer too. If I were your mammories I would be very afraid.
