Greetings, Ben & Holly! Matt from "The Witzard" music blog here...
I'm a 23-year-old college grad from South Jersey.
An aspiring Businessman and Journalist, I started the blog about 2 years ago in an effort to share my knowledge of Pop Culture and sharpen my writing chops.
To date, we have 50 Followers and rough 55,000 views and counting.
My favourite genres are Punk, Hop-Hop, and Indie Rock... But we try to cover all sorts of Pop Culture stories.
After reading this recent Stereogum interview with Drake, I was compelled to peruse the web for some Take Care era B-sides.
One of the first tracks I stumbled upon was "Dreams Money Can Buy," which I soon learned sampled Jai Paul - "BTSTU" (2010).
An artist that I had admittedly never heard of before...

with a quick Google search, I was lead to Jai Paul's MySpace page and saw this very email address along with "all [inquiries] chat to Ben (management) or Holly (other shit)."
This obviously lead me to you guys: Team Jai Paul, for all intensive purposes ha.
Sorry I'm a little late. But "BTSTU" has to be one of the most instantly-catchy and compelling tracks I've heard in a VERY LONG time!
While I love it, I really don't know what to think of it... the back-and-forth between Jai and himself ha, the Lo-Fi instrumentation, the underlying element of sheer mystery...
With that said, I'm basically intrigued and excited! Just wondering Jai Paul has planned next?
Somewhat curious as to why there are no other tracks... Full-length planned?
If not, "BTSTU" (Edit) is HANDS DOWN, the best One Hit Wonder of this decade!
Really just looking for some additional info... with hopes of getting in [direct] contact with Jai Paul - Possibly for an interview?
Thank you kindly for your time thus far! Hope to hear back from you guys soon.

Peace & love
- Matt Horowitz

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of...

Jet Planes, Islands, Tigers On a Gold Leash: Lorde - "Royals" (The Weeknd Remixo)

I think it's pretty safe to say that The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye) comfortably teeters the fine line between glitched-out smooth New Age R&B and hard-hitting Hip-Hop ; while the same could arguably be said for 16-year-old New Zealand new-comer, Lorde . Her break-out single "Royals" 1/2 jokingly shouts out semi-common bravado-worthy shit like: diamonds, "gold teeth, Grey Goose ... Cadillacs, Cristal, Maybach ... jet planes, islands, [and] tigers on a gold leash." But now, the Lorde/Weeknd connection has been further solidified, as Tesfaye recently managed to conjure up and release his own "Royals" remix. My beautiful girlfriend said earlier, and I paraphrase, that it "makes her wanna dance lol and she could [likely] hear this remix in a future movie!" Following the wide-spread release of her first 2 EP's (Love Club & Tennis Court) , Universal Republic plans to unleash Lorde 's proper debut album, Pure Heroine between ...

Pop Artist & Surfer Chronicle Intriguing Ex-Pornstar In "SASHA GREY."

Seemingly made to co-exist as thought-provoking companion pieces... "LINDSAY LOHAN" directors Richard Phillips & Taylor Steele are back with their most recent Art Presentation, "SASHA GREY." The 90-second short film was shot in early May @ John Lautner Chemosphere House in Los Angeles, CA. Both striking flicks will be shown on a giant floating video screen [ "Commercial Break" ] @ Garage Center for Contemporary Culture in Venice, Italy (June 1-5). "Adult acting chops" aside, Sasha (23) seems very intelligent, captivating, free-spirited, business savvy, well-mannered, charming... and dare I say, "average." And I really think that's exactly what Phillips/Steele were trying to convey throughout the course of the piece; Grey's beauty, public draw, sheer likeability, and honesty will surely take her very far in future endeavors... Solidifying her [updated] image as a true "Pop Culture Figure." * Featured soundtra...
