Because we all love a bit of Erykah...
Cos the woman gets her booty out on the street... 'groupthink' comes bleeding out of her head.
...and cos she samples junior M.A.F.I.A on the get munny track.
Nuff said.
Her album needs to be listened to - for those of you on britsh soil - that can be done here
For those of you not, and have not gone through this latest baduism of fire - here is one of my favorite tracks on the album
CROOKERS MEGAMIX
You should probably glue everything on the surface of your desk down - the baseline is really ummm messy?
You should probably lock yourself in a room, where no one can see your bad dancing... or leave it open and have others dance with you...
Point is, you will be dancing.
Dance fool.

The Black Keys
two guys whose music makes me want to bad things in the best possible kind of way...
The Black Keys are a blues-rock music duo consisting of vocalist/guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer/producer Patrick Carney.

Words cannot describe what I felt when I first heard these guys just over a week ago. I would say something like 'eargasm' but then that would be generic, a bit tacky and sort of crude. I mean sex in the ear is where I draw the line.
Sounds like: Deep south, Lousiana type of rock and roll. Bluesy, timeless classic riffs, heavy bass against Dan Auerbach's smooth musings (he's a smoker I can tell *drools* I'm in love.).
Sounds like authentic music...
....Which makes me authentically want to writhe around on top of an automobile outside a gas-station wearing nothing but denim hotpants while smoking a marlboro light.
This song in particular - and I think the title is quite fitting - makes me want to do those things.
The new album is 'Brothers', buy it people.
FYI, they are touring people. You heard me.

MmOoDdEe SsEeLlEeKkTtOoRr
I listen to some fairly easy music, but when I go deep I go:
Three-AM-how-did-I-get-here-these-are-not-my-friends-I-never-realised-I-was-still-out-I-may-end-up-naked-and-not-alone-either-I-have-no-idea-who-I-am-right-now-but-I'm-so-happy
deep.
Don't believe me? OK - listen to this ... and don't pretend you haven't been there either.
Modeselektor are rocking my world at the moment.

Blogger playlist: FRANCES D 'Happy because'
Frances is a blogger, who like myself - loves Da MUSIK.
I started listening to Marina and the diamonds because of her, 'Daisy dares you' was recommended on her blog and I was all like 'Daisy dares who?... I'm listening anyway'.
So, who better to compile the first blogger playlist on the CHH loves site?
This playlist isn’t all ‘down with love’, stop shaving your legs and embrace solitude for ever more.
You can do that though, I don’t forbid it.
It’s more like a celebration of self (ooh), some songs which make you feel just a little bit invincible. And as my aunt (who may or may not be an alcoholic, but no matter) always says "it doesn't matter if you're looking for someone, because there's someone looking for you". I think you're great.
You’re not going to like every single one of these songs, but you’ll find one or two or three or eight which work for you. If you like every single one, you’re my best friend.
Frances.

Must read
O.K so I haven't read this one yet have to finish 'Angel's Game' which I am reading for my book group (yes I'm in a book group - get over it). But expect an update as soon as I am done with it.
Happy reading folks.
Coco Sumner Feat. Robyn
I can't decide if the song/ vid is cool.
Or is just too contrived and 'cool'?
I do think she has a really great voice... Much like her pa.

Recommendations
I spend a lot of my time in an electro 'bubble' so never up to speed with my hip (crotch grabbing pimps and bling bling) hop.
After Christmas this changed.
I was hanging with my homies - well my sisters - and they let me in on some good shizzle.
And now I will share with you.
These recommendations have come from my youngest sister who recently dyed her hair dark purple. Now I call her mermaid.
Actually Mermaid Hoe.
Enjoy.
