Backwash, Sulu and Reviews

When over 97.1% of scientists agree the " onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http://www.slate.com/blogs/bad_astronomy/2013/05/17/global_warming_climate_scientists_overwhelmingly_agree_it_s_real_and_is.htmlbr/']);">remaining percent is backwash.

I usually don’t link to Buzzfeed but Sulu aka George Takei made me do it.

Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and they all stink.

Video of the Week- Aaradhna “Lorena Bobbitt”

This is just a great video for such a great song. Aaradhna is coming straight outta New Zealand and is belting out some classic soul/r&b (and a little rock steady) with her harsh but feminine modern touch. And the video’s pretty hilarious (directed by Tom Gould). I hate to make the comparison but she holds her own amongst Amy Winehouse and Adele all the while still making it her own. Check out more of her, hereBoom.

Tuesday Forecast: New Music Releases

While I’d much rather see the Hot 8 in a second line, eating a hot sausage and drinking a $1 can of budweiser, it’s still great to see Tru Thoughts putting out another of their albums. Kankick is a heavyweight producer that seems like he’ll always fly just below the radar but comes from the same camp as madlib, oh no, and the lootpack. The rest of this week’s releases fall somewhere around the electro-pop-experimental tree. Some I can’t tell if that’s a good or a bad thing.
