Brilliant Rube Goldberg Machine

This is pretty awesome. I don't want to know how many takes it took to do that, even if it wasn't actually continuous.

The Roots "How I Got Over"

Entirely different feel than Rising Down, but I think I'm feelin' it.

Chali 2na "International" feat. Beenie Man

If the rest of Chali 2na's album Fish Outta Water is like this, I think I'm gonna have to buy it... Actually who am I kidding? It's a Chali 2na album, I don't think I have any choice but to buy it. ;-)

Metroid Metal

Thanks to Penny Arcade, I am now listening to Metroid Metal, a reimagining of Metroid music as metal. Now all I want to do with my life is to sit down on the couch and play Metroid Prime and company. My wife doesn't like watching me play Metroid, though, so I'm now wishing I still had my Gamecube and I had a second TV to attach it to...

Wyclef's Carnival II is his best album since the Ecleftic

While I liked Welcome to Haiti: Creole 101, The Preacher's Son and Masquerade just didn't do it for me. Looking at the Amazon reviews of Carnival II, it looks like I might be in the minority (as his other albums scored much higher). Anyways, if you liked the Carnival and the Ecleftic, maybe you'll be like me, and play Carnival II on repeat for awhile. Too bad that Lauryn's off in another world and we'll never get any more of the Fugees.

Classic Mos Def for $1.99

I don't want to be too much of an Amazon MP3 store ad, but when I see a deal like this, I've gotta spread the word. If I didn't already own the album, I would cop this in an instant.

You know who's underappreciated?

Anthony Hamilton.

Edit: apparently, the videos I originally linked to disappeared, and the official videos aren't embeddable (why?!?). So here are some links:

See what I mean? Man's got so much soul, you can smell the chicken and greens when he sings. ;)

We Know Something You Don't Know

Cop your mp3 of the aforementioned song. I just did, and now I wish I had all the rest of my J5 with me. Ah well, this will work for now. =]

(and now I'm tempted to buy the album)

J5 in da house

This video (and the song) is tight. Props to Garry for turning me on to it.

Sharon Jones is awesome

I'm listening to Dap Dippin' with Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings. And
well, I had to share some of the awesomeness with the internets. If you
ain't never heard, Sharon Jones is like the female James Brown.

Check it.
