Can’t Rattle it loose
Thanks to Austin, somehow multiple songs from 2 Chainz are getting stuck in my head. Here is the current one:
Who’s House?
Not sure if this was an email from Neil that I discovered this or if I am repeating a post. Either way, Kevin reminded me of this site/show to check out the Fritz and the Tantrums performing with Daryl Hall at his house.
Daryl has done a bunch of episodes already with a wide variety of artists. He always performs a song with the artist that visits, and all that I have seen so far are good. The favorite of what I’ve seen is Mayer Hawthorne (and Booker T. Jones somehow) performing You Make My Dreams Come True, I Can’t Go For That and Private Eyes. Here is Private Eyes:
STS, or Sugar Tongue Slim
Though on Complex’s 120 worst rapper name list, Berkeley Place lists him as “one of the best rappers around right now.” He apparently just got off tour with Kavinsky, and just released a mixtape with a rap over a Kavinsky song that is pretty badass:
The only reason Kavinsky is notable to me is because of the movie Drive, which is pretty bad outside of the opening scene and Albert Brooks stabbing a guy with a fork and knife (not really a spoiler, but were you really going to see it?). The credits after the amazing opening scene is soundtracked perfectly with Kavinsky and CSS’ LoveFoxx “Nightcall“
Did You Hear the Good News?

Want More Huey? Thanks to Brendan who pointed me to this gem over the weekend from this tribute album:
