G5 - Monday, August 23rd
- So remember how I linked to Ted Leo’s announcement over the weekend stating that he was going to make musicals? That was all an elaborate set up for the above video for “Bottled in Cork.” Well played, sirs
- A while back, Creative Loafing posted a phenomenal track-by-track breakdown of Outkast’s Aquemini with accompanying interviews… this is a few months old, but well-worth checking out. Very cool discussion of the album from Andre 3000, Big Boi, some of the featured artists like Raekwon and Cee-Lo and their entire production team, among others
- Live Nation/TicketMaster has started a blog, and the first entry is on, fittingly, service fees and ticketing practices. I’ll be keeping my eye on this and passing along anything interesting in the future
- I haven’t read this yet, but a friend emailed me to say I’d enjoy Spin’s story on Soundgarden, so I assume you will too
- Sean Fennessey put together two Swizz Beats mixes a two-disc (or two-disc length, rather) greatest hits collection and a second mix where “We ask What The Fuck, Swizzy? But we do it with affection.” Both are worth checking out
