  • Listen To Sonic Clash Radio – Episode 1

    Money Mike and I did a “test run” for Sonic Clash Radio, which is our foray into the world of podcasting. Just remember that it’s a test run. But we had a ton of fun and hope to do more episodes in the future.

    If you have any thoughts about the show in general, drop us a comment. Is the audio too low? Can you hear us clearly? Does it move too fast, too slow? What do you want to hear us talk about?

    You will get to enjoy:

    – My debut as a producer. No, there are no boards to be behind, but I get to play drops and put callers through (if and when we get callers).

    – Mike going through all the new releases this week, including thoughts on new albums from Common, Brandy, and Maroon 5.

    – Mike and I discussing Britney Spears topping the charts.

    – And a whole lotta news in the music world.

    As P. Diddy once said, just press play (below).

    Sonic Clash Radio – Episode 1

  • Friday Throwback – Ex-Factor

    When I think of what some of the most emotional songs I’ve heard are, I always come back to a song by Lauryn Hill from her solo album The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill. Though I’ve never been in quite the relationship that she describes, I think to anyone who has been in a really powerful relationship, some of this probably resonates.

    It could all be so simple
    But you’d rather make it hard
    Loving you is like a battle
    And we both end up with scars

    – Wyclef thought this song was about him. I wonder if Lauryn should’ve redone You’re So Vain. But then again, maybe it is about Wyclef.

    – The video is simple, but so is the song. There’s no need to show anything other than Lauryn.

    – The line is, “To get some reciprocity” but the way she says it, I always wondered if there was a word ciprocity.

    – Sing it Lauryn; “No one loves you more than me, and no one ever will.”

    – The “care for me, there for me, cry for me, give to me” part of the song is just awesome.

    – The video is nearly ruined by the light show at the end, but we can forgive.

    While Lauryn may be as crazy as Michael Jackson nowadays, she created one of the more emotional relationship songs of our time. I blame the Marley dude.

  • Not Necessarily The News – KFed, John Forte, 50 Cent and Britney Spears

    There aren’t many moments in life that you get to write about KFed and John Forte in the same blog. This is one of those moments.

    John Forte is trying to stay alive. (Billboard)
    John Forte hasn’t been seen since he was stayin’ alive with Wyclef Jean. You still a small timer. Drug trafficking charges put him behind bars, but thanks to President George Bush he will be released on December 22 after serving only half his sentence.

    KFed says he’s still rooting for Brit. (E! Online)
    What’s most interesting about KFed’s statement is that he admitted that the turning point in their marriage was when the kids were born.

    “For me, I’d become more concerned with my children. Not that I ignored Britney, but my kids are always most important…I mean, we were having complications.”

    Word to KFed just in case he ever gets married again. Your wife is most important my friend. If you put the kids above her, it’s no wonder that your marriage dissolved. What an admission for those kids to read when they get older. Yep, your birth is the reason your parents got divorced according to your dad. These people need to get a clue. Either that, or don’t have kids.

    Eminem is 50 Cent’s grandmother. (MTV.com)
    50 Cent was trying to say how special it was to work with Eminem. 50 is in the UK shooting a movie and the plan is to go to Detroit to work with Eminem for both of their upcoming albums. He said that Em is like a relative to him, someone who’s done something for him. “He’s like my grandmother.” Huh? What does that make Dre? Grandpa?

    Britney’s dancers are drug tested. (E! Online)
    Britney’s dancers are drug tested so that they are good influences for Britney. Shouldn’t Britney be the one that is drug tested? Well, she probably is too. Let’s just hope that they’re not testing for steroids, because all her male dancers would fail miserably. Oh, you thought they were natural? Don’t be so naive.
