Erykah Badu - “Gone Baby, Don’t Be Long”
Broken Social Scene - Major Label Debut
I’ve had them on repeat for days.
A Tribe Called Quest - ‘Electric Relaxation’
This album, all summer.
Bob Marley & the Wailers - Waiting in Vain
A kind of late Father’s Day post.
Every time I listen to Bob Marley, I think of my father. Until I got a driver’s license and car, I mostly only saw my dad on an every-other-weekend kind of basis. When I was younger, he used to wake us up with the smell of breakfast and Bob Marley on his old Bose speakers (which he still has).
I just spent the last few days at my dad’s house, and they were quite nice. It was hard to pick just one song off this album, it’s really great.
Passing Me By - Pharcyde -
“Now there she goes again, the dopest Ethiopian…”
Classic, absolutely classic. This is one of those songs that resides in the archives of hip-hop, don’t call yourself much of a fan if you don’t know it. Hip-hop heads, enjoy. This is quite a jam.
“My dear, my dear, my dear, you do not know me but I know you very well - Now let me tell you about the feelings I have for you”
Oh, man. I haven’t heard this in forever.
Modest Mouse - Dramamine
I was yawning a huge yawn
and Pandora stated playing this song
which is awesome because this song puts me to sleep
and i’m super sleepy
(I think this is my favorite Modest Mouse song.
They performed it when I saw them, and I was extra smiley for the rest of my life)
R. Kelly - I’m A Flirt
(Featuring T.I. and T. Pain)
Before I go to bed, I would just like to add
that this has been stuck in my head all day, thanks to a facebook friend.
Enjoy.
Fuck Shit Stack - Reggie Watts -
“I’m a materialist. I’ll take a piece-of-shit car and I’ll lower the motherfuckah.”
I had forgotten that this song existed until tonight. Man, this used to be my jam. Reggie Watts breaks it down on this one, nobody does the Fuck Shit Stack like he does.
Oh my god I had the chance to see him, and DIDN’T.
Because I’m an idiot.
This song is kind of amazing…
“I know Karate
I Know Jujitsu
I Drive Like a Gangsta when I’m coming to see you”
