Song of the Week: No One's Gonna Love you::: Cee-Lo and Band of Horses



I was just reminded how great this song is when Pandora hit me up with the Cee-Lo version. I love it when an artist is able to put something unique on an already fantastic song. Check it out below, along with a haunting live version by the orignal creators of the song, Band of Horses.

A$AP Rocky & Danny Brown Kick Some Knowledge

While catching up on my buddy Blockhead's blog, Phat Friend, I came upon the two video gems you see below. If you haven't heard of rappers A$AP Rocky or Danny Brown yet this will be quite an introduction (see playlist below to get familiar with their tunes). Conversation topics include the duo debating their favorite type of woman, the merits of Twitter vs. Facebook, and benefits of dating someone older. Warning: The following contains strong language, and may not be suitable for some viewers. Enjoy!

I put 2 of 5 below. Youtube has the rest if you want them.




And here is a little A$AP and Danny playlist for all you music lovers out there. The video for "Grown Up" is pretty awesome.

Radiohead debut new song "Full Stop" in Chicago: Concert Report

The sun set behind the First Midwestern Bank Amphitheater in Chicago last night as Radiohead took the stage  to begin an action packed 3 hour set that hit everything from "Creep" to
"Lotus Flower".  Thom Yorke's signature wail warmed and improved as the night went on, demonstrating its dynamic extremes particularly well during a crowd-pleasing spastic rendition of "Idioteque" and the hauntingly beautiful "Giving Up the Ghost".  And in case all that wasn't enough, the band delighted the crowd by debuting an eerie new song, "Full Stop".  Check it out for yourself below as well as a couple other of Radiohead's greatest tunes.  



The show was an absolutely fantastic end to a action packed weekend here in Chicago.  I can't think of many better ways to spend a summer night than sitting on the lawn of a gigantic amphitheater, summer breeze blowing, with the great combination of friends, cheese, whiskey, and watermelon.  To all of you out there that have yet to come to the Chi during its glorious early summer weeks, you are missing out.  Come over, hang out, and enjoy a city full of great food, wonderful live music, and friendly people.

Top 10 Playlist, Vol. 6







In the 6th installment we feature a collaboration between Mark Ronson, Erykah Badu, & Mos Def, the best cover of "No Diggity" you will ever hear, and that awesome song from the AT&T 4G commercial.

Its Summertime, people, so these tracks should be played at high volume. Preferably in a residential area.
