02.23.09The Whitest Boy Alive: the inimitable Erland Oye and co. return to teach us the Rules.An observation: I think if Erlend Oye were a type of fabric, he’d be a smooth vinyl suede. After all, the Norwegian crooner has made his career out of experimenting with various combinations of the synthetic and the smooth. The latest of these efforts is Rules, the second release from The Whitest Boy Alive, due out on Bubbles in March.

01.28.09Raphael Saadiq – “100 Yard Dash”Apologies to my regular readers that this video contains an ad. As someone with no hair, I am personally offended that it's an ad for Pantene; however the video, taken from Saadiq's masterful 2008 album The Way I See It, is worth sitting thru the ad. The video transports you back to the 50's when tailored looks, impecable style and choreographed dances defined your Saturday night. Disc Jockey's ruled the airwaves and Mempis, TN was finally given it's star power on the map. Imagine you are the audience and Raphael Saadiq is your entertainment for the night. I ...
