Who's Blogging  |
A weekly playlist for the listener with a one-track mind.
T.I.: "Big [Expletive] Poppin"
The self-appointed king of the South doesn't stray far from the castle on this new single, stretching that familiar drawl over a righteous Mannie Fresh-produced beat. If the throne ain't broke . . .
Feist: "My Moon My Man"
So what if she sounds like Aimee Mann in need of a Claritin? The Canadian singer is in top form on this little gem, where the melodies are melancholy and the backbeat is, um, feisty.
Mark Ronson featuring Lily Allen: "Oh My God"
The British DJ/producer is a maverick of sorts, collaborating with Kanye West one day, DJing TomKat's wedding reception the next. Here he enlists Lily Allen to coo a Kaiser Chiefs tune and almost makes it sound like vintage Afrobeat.
Pam Tillis: "Band in the Window"
She's the daughter of country vet Mel Tillis, but on her new single the 49-year-old singer sounds more like the coal miner's daughter, Loretta Lynn.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs: "Sealings"
Superhero flicks beget epic rock soundtracks, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs deliver with a boisterous contribution to "Spider-Man 3." Should we be expecting a video with Karen O in ridiculous Spidey garb a la Prince in his "Batman" days?
