The WZRDs: Kid Cudi and Dot Da Genius Drop Rock Collabo

(Photo via soulculture.co.uk)

WZRD's album dropped last week and I'm trying to figure out what to make of it. This project or duo consists of the outspoken Kid Cudi and Dot da Genius. I saw Cudi last year at the Molson Amphitheater after he rescheduled due to an illness and I felt really old. It was nothing but kids in attendance, who were eating up every verse and chorus. What made me uncomfortable were his vocals, not the young concert goers. And that was my major concern coming into this WZRD album.

"I've been working from seven, seven, seven, to eleven every night, 

It kinda makes my life a drag...

Baby, Since I've Been Loving You, I'm about to lose, 

I'm about lose to my worried mind."

- Lyrics from Led Zeppelin's "Since I've Been Loving You"

Led Zeppelin could be the "Dig On" artist for the next 9 post (ok 8...still can't get into "In Through The Out Door"..."Hot Dog"...really??), but I'll focus on "III" for this edition of our continuing series. I can't speak for Turnbull, but Zeppelin deeply influenced my musical tastes and set a standard for all rock music that I listened to following my dive into the band's catalogue. My introduction to "III" came via my uncle, who had an amazing vinyl collection.

Things That Make You Say WTF?!: Courtney Love Interprets "Jeremy" By Pearl Jam

You all know how I feel about Courtney Love, but this one was too terribly good to pass up. In this epic fail of a video, Love interprets Jeremy, a classic Pearl Jam cut, for the webonauts to enjoy (read: cringe). I did say that she interprets it since I can't in my right mind consider this singing. 

I highly encourage you to watch the "hole" video...it's so awful and hilarious at the same time. The 3:00 mark is in my opinion the pinnacle of this performance. Courtney needs a serious "Old Yellering" as she clearly has rabies or is clinically insane.

Sound off on this debaucherous spectacle in the comments .

Friday Flashback - UK Pretty Boy Garage Edition

Craig David – Fill Me In

Do you guys remember Craig David?  Whatever happened to this guy??  

The Brit took the North American music scene by storm back around 2000-2001 with his soulful croon and boyish good looks on his debut album Born To Do It.

"Fill Me In," the album's first single, blended R&B with the “Garage” (also known as 2-Step) sound that was blowing up in the UK at the time (Garage is pronounced like it rhymes with "carriage")

I remember so many girls loving him off back then .... it was pretty annoying to tell you the truth!

I know he put out a couple more records after his debut, but not much has been heard from him in recent years.  Reports indicate that a new record may surface this year.

We shall see...
