Damn it:

I never thought another artist would make me long for the soulful stylings of Marc Cohn, let alone lament him getting shot in the face at a time when pale imitations of him are much more deserving targets, unjustly clogging up the charts.

Fergielicious? Amazing to me that Fergie's worthy of any adjective, dumbfounding that it would end in "-licious." In any case, this song is working its Peaches-licious pedigree like a fatherfucker, no? And Pharrel, well, he's sounding comfortably Pharrel-licious--numbingly so? Anyone else feel like this could be the final season of wickedly stripped-down beats, beat-boxy hooks and buzzing?

Gwen tho? Sure, she's fluff and is getting a little out-there with the "look at this new style I bought up and then WAY overdid!" thing but it's hard to be TOO mad at old ska kids--after all, she stuck with her two-tone tomboy look way past when she could've skipped out and--well, copped free couture and started prancing all over fashion mags like she does now.

Well, actually, maybe it's not so hard to get mad at old ska kids: http://www.filmforum.org/archivedfilms/quad/quadsting.jpg<...

That guitar solo is pure Mick Ronson.

Surprisingly good stuff, though.

Leak Of The Week: Diddy, ‘Press Play’

It almost feels wrong to call Press Play, the forthcoming album from Diddy, a solo effort. The Whopper-loving impresario is joined by a chartload of guests on the record, which arrives in stores on Tuesday; Christina Aguilera, Mary J. MORE »

A lot of the tracks that have leaked so far from "Press Play" sound pretty amazing given Puff's limited artistic ability.

This track is immaculately produced and performed (again given his limited abilities as an MC) and I give him props for trying to do something different here but it sounds a little bit dated. I'm getting flashbacks to the Roni Size, LTJ Bukem, Olive era of coffee table drum n bass and trip hop.

BTW more Diddy leaks can be found here.

Hey, I now understand the purpose of Idolator. You may not have the best music or the best writing, but hot-damn, you've got the best lawyers.

It's refreshing to see a day-after post that reads "Dear Jigga Man, Fuck you and the horse you rode in on," instead of "Dear Mr. Carter & Legal staff, Please accept our heartfelt apology for posting your intellectual property."

Leak Of The <s>Week</s> <s>Day</s> Year: Jay-Z, ‘Show Me What You Got’

Jay-Z’s unretirement album, Kingdom Come, drops on Nov. 21; the lead-off track, “Show Me What You Got,” starts off with him almost apologizing for coming back before kicking right into a classic Hova boast, one where he seems to be shedding–and mocking–his former player… MORE »

South Jamaica? No wonder he's so tough. They'll beat the s*** out of anyone who looks like Craig David over there. Given Lloyd's baby-soft & very "Fill Me In" features, he must have gotten his head handed to him many times. It's clear that his only solution was to "gangsta-up" and roll with a serious group of tough guys - the G-UNIT!!!

Cool album cover though. Too bad it's like putting perfume on a pig.

"oh, and by the way- IMO, i think its a good thing when a band tries different things on new albums"

The Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique rings a clear bell with me. I remember when NO ONE liked that album and the critics slammed it. I loved the Beastie Boys with their first album and while I was disappointed at first with their 2nd album not sounding like their first one with the Rick Ruben production, Paul's Boutique is one of my favorite, if not THE most favorite album they have IMHO.

Give all albums time fells/gals and let time be the judge...
