If cupid was a tangable being I would hug him and crush his "wittle" arms. Let's face it...Valentine's Day brings out all the love you thought you never had along with the bullshit you always knew. What I hate most is listening to sappy songs about love...that fit only around this hallmark holiday. But there are a few...just a few songs that I feel only fitting for this day...

Happy Valentines' Day- Andre 3000 (Speakerboxx/The Love Below)
"...Everyday on the 14th." Indeed I could sing this song 365 days of the year and feel the love.

Valley of Love- J*DaVey (Divisions of Joy)
A tourmented soul never sounded so good.

What’s happening…it’s your girl GJ and I am so excited for the New Year. We are starting off a new decade and what better way to celebrate than by forecasting the musical year. 2009 brought some of the best albums and I am hoping for a continuation of the trend. Who doesn’t like a good album, right? Does a hooker like Johns? I do believe so. My mission for my readers this year (besides blog consistency…sorry I have three of them, what can I say) is to always kick some good flavor in your ear. These are some of the albums I would suggest for starts….

I want my royalties now, please!

Good morning peeps...I do hope all is well with everyone. There has been so much going on that I have had little time to sit and create. I would like to share a couple of gems that I think you will all enjoy.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!!! Check out the following albums...

Wild Young Hearts- The Noisettes (if you want to place them in a category, think the Cranberries...but better)

City Lights Volume 2: Shibuya- Nicolay (fully enjoyable from beginning to end...love guest artist Carlitta Durand)

Carlitta's Way- Carlitta Durand (well I had to go and find her...and she is worth the listen)

Good day world, it’s your Queen of Hearts, Jane and I must say it feels SO muthafuckin’ good to be back…and with a special treat for my readers. I had a chance to FINALLY catch up two of my favorite producers, Empee and MaxPtah and do an interview for their new album Listen!!!: The Album (love the title…can never go wrong with simple and a command in suit.) The first single and video Confessions of a Vinyl Addict has made a bit of a splash on YouTube and has even commanded the attention of new fans outside of their Memphis core. So without further adieu…the interview (kudos will be accepted, appreciated and demanded at the end. Thanks!)
