Holy shit this sounds amazing: “[T]he as-yet-untitled debut album from the nimble Washington, DC rapper Wale will include beats from a whole lot of familiar names in the  rap-producer roundtable: Cool & Dre, Ryan Leslie, Green Lantern, Sean C and LV. Best Kept Secret, the go-go inflected DC producers whose beats animated much of Wale’s celebrated Mixtape About Nothing, are also on...

I see you girls checking out my trunks...
Bret: Jemaine, I don't think we're going to get sex AND get paid.
Jemaine: Why not?
Bret: Because we never get sex OR get paid.

Re: the new Von Bondies record
Uhh, really??  It’s been almost five years since Pawn Shoppe Heart (probably one of my desert island albums, if I had to choose), and this is all you could come up with?  Okay, so there are some decent songs, but this doesn’t seem nearly as alive, as raw, as ballsy, as rock ‘n roll as what we all know you’re capable of.  Or do you have to hand in your rawk membership card...

I watched movies today
This afternoon was Layer Cake on DVD at home. Then this evening was Role Models at the cheap theater. Then late dinner at Chile Verde. Then after we got back home, it was Closer. Fun Fact: I wish I could have a bromance with both Paul Rudd and Clive Owen. Elizabeth Banks and Natalie Portman can join our group of friends, too. But Daniel Craig, Julia Roberts, and Jude Law are not invited....

P.O.S.//Doomtree Yeah, so this is on Erin’s birthday, which pretty much means I won’t be going.  Her appreciation of the Rhymesayers label doesn’t run much deeper than Atmosphere (ok, I guess maybe Blueprint/Soul Position, too). But you should check this out.  I saw P.O.S. a few years ago (opening for Atmosphere, coincidentally…or not), and over the course of his set, he...
