The Lumineers – Hey Ho

Another top 40 casualty for me, and another song where people yell in the background.
The Valparaiso Men’s Chorus – John Kanaka
I saw these fella's a couple of weeks ago. They played several sea shanties that were salty as a dog.
Ernie K-Doe – Certain Girl

One of the joys of living in New Orleans, and working in the French Quarter, is seeing acts like this every day.
Curren$y – Showroom
Dirty words abound, so consider yourselves warned.

Curren$y is probably my favorite dude working in rap today. He's from NOLA and went through quite a bit of major label drama before finally breaking out with the Pilot Talk albums. He's around my age, which is nice in an age where a lot of the dudes coming out can't even drink legally. And most of all, he has a tireless work ethic. Last year he released four mixtapes for free in addition to his really great full length The Stoned Immaculate.
This is one of my favorite songs from The Stoned Immaculate. It's pretty much right in his zone: raps about cars, women, and weed. Yeah, he works with a pretty narrow selection of subject matter, but he's dope. I hope you enjoy it. If you do, check out those tapes. They're all good (especially Cigarette Boats).
2012-13 Game Logs: Game 20 Wolves @ Pelicans
Rubio'll come out
Tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow
There'll be Rubio!
Just thinkin' about
Rubio
Clears away the Barea,
And the sorrow
'Til there's none!
When I'm stuck a day
That's JJ,
And lonely,
I just stick out my chin
And Grin,
And Say,
Oh
Rubio'll come out
Tomorrow
So ya gotta hang on
'Til tomorrow
Come what may
Tomorrow!
Tomorrow!
I love ya
Tomorrow!
Rubio is just
A day
A way!
