MUSIC

I'm going to go ahead and dedicate the opening of this section to my sister:

Negative! Why always so negative, Pitchfork? If you've got problems, why don't you go solve them? I mean, I haven't bought the album yet, so maybe their criticisms come from a reasonable place, but when your criticism of "Lay It Down" is that the song's lyrics are a different tone than its music, you're dangerously close to Rolling Stone levels of not getting it.

They also inexplicably gave a really good song they seem to like a six out of ten. I do like their DD/MM/YYYY stream, to be fair. And they totally redeem themselves with word of a FREE Del album.

Fader loves Esau as much as I do.

Later on Fader, The Kiss My Ass mixtape didn't due much for me, but these new tracks are really solid. Also via Fader, woah, new Atlas Sound for free. Didn't see that coming. Mark this under distinctly pleasant "tuesdays are great for music" surprises.

Asher Roth seems really rad.

Discodust is back, and not a moment too soon. They accurately peg the Annie remix they're freeloading as swoon-worthy. Le sigh indeed.

FILM

/Film tries to convince you to see the Hannah Montana movie.

Lots of hip-hop biopics comin' soon. Hopefully they'll be better than Notorious.

Star Trek XII info if that's your thing.

Apatow slasher? Sounds... I don't know how that sounds.

WEIRD

Andre 3k is the new Speed Racer.

iTunes has awesomely put a silent song up as a featured download. First time the iTunes store has ever been awesome, really.
