Who's Blogging  |
A weekly playlist for the listener with a one-track mind.
Amerie:"Gotta Work"
Intentionally or not, the Georgetown grad turned soul diva has provided her alma mater with the ultimate March Madness theme song. "Sometimes ya gotta work hard for it!" she belts over some inspirational horn blasts straight out of Motown. Apologies to Dick Vitale, but it's awesome, baby!
Dizzee Rascal: "[Expletive]"
Sticks and stones may break your bones -- and name-calling this nasty comes pretty close. Over the same classic drum break sampled on Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock's "It Takes Two," the riled London rapper threatens, "Don't make me get old-school."
Jack Ingram:"Love You"
This sandy-haired country crooner might be as miffed as Dizzee, but he fares better when it comes to biting his tongue. "Love you, love this town, love this mother-lovin' truck that keeps breakin' lovin' down!" he seethes over the honky-tonk chorus. This song is lovin' great.
Yacht:"See a Penny, Pick It Up"
Feeling lucky, punk? So does Jona Bechtolt, a Portland, Ore., producer whose funky ode to good fortune sounds like Brian Eno trying to squeeze the "Night Rider" theme song out of a broken Nintendo.
Lil' Flip featuring Mya: "Flippin' "
No rapper says "I'm a capitalist, not a fighter" better than Houston's Lil' Flip. During the intro of this syrupy duet with D.C.'s own Mya, he announces, "We're doing something for the ladies. They buy records, too!" But do they download?
