Redman with band
Red puts on one of the dopest live shows to begin with. Add a live band to it, and it gets even better. Him and Met were promoting a new Blackout album, plus a How high? Part II, which hopefully will be as mindlessly funny as the first was. Hopefully Lisa Turtle will be back as well!

I believe the Department of Defense created the internet so we could watch dope ass old school videos like this.
Where can I get a magic 45 like the one JMJ has at 1:32?

Be
The chosen one, from the land of the frozen sun. Where drunk nights get remembered more than sober ones. Walk like warriors we were never told to run, explored the world to return to where me soul begun. Never looking back, or too far in front of me, the present is a gift and I just want to be.

Blue Lines
I'd heard the name Massive Attack before, but it wasn't until I was diggin through Ian's CD collection in London once, that I actually listened to it. I liked it enough to rip it for myself. Not until a certain Brazilian told me it was her favorite album, that I really got into it.
From Wikipedia:
Generally considered the first trip hop album, though the term wasn't coined until several years later, Blue Lines was a massive success in the United Kingdom, though sales were limited elsewhere. A fusion of electronic music, hip hop and dub music, the album established Massive Attack as one of the innovative British bands of the 1990s and the founder of trip hop's Bristol Sound. The city of Bristol, consisting of a large working class, became the epicenter of the trip hop movement. The album incorporated sounds of hip-hop, 70s soul music and reggae.
Simon Reynolds writes that the album also marked a change in electronic/dance music, "a shift toward a more interior, meditational sound. The songs on Blue Lines run at "spliff" tempos - from a mellow, moonwalking 90 beats per minute ...down to a positively torpid 67 bpm."[2] The group drew inspiration from concept-albums in various genres by artists such as Pink Floyd, Public Image Ltd., Herbie Hancock and Isaac Hayes.
The album places in the top 100 of numerous British Best Albums Ever lists, and Rolling Stone gives it #395 in their 500 Greatest Albums Ever. It would definitely place higher if it was a product of the U.S.
I also was intrigued at the theme to some British detective show, which turned out to be another one of Massive Attack's biggest hits, Teardrop. Included that for your listening pleasure, as well as a José González cover of the same track which appeared on his latest album 'In Our Nature'. (González's music is also featured in the previous post, in the "Balls" commercial)
Email me if you want the Massive Attack album, or search for it here.
I'll let you in on a little secret, great album to get busy to :)

4 of the most creative ads I've ever seen. The paint one blew me away. Youtube quality isn't the best, there's a link for hi-res versions of them underneath, plus behind the scenes video.

Believe in this?
I'm with Mr. Met, I don't even think I can watch anymore... but lord knows I'm a masochist so I'll be back out at Shea soon, to root, root, root for the home team.
Ugh, it's painful.

Gnarls Barkley: Moving On
I was never really into Goodie Mob, but loved the first two Cee-Lo solo albums. While "the Odd Couple" isn't as good as the first Gnarls Barkley collabo, there are some top notch soulful tracks on it. This being one, performed live on Letterman.
