Ain't It Funny How The Night Moves... Atmosphere - "Bob Seger" (Silver Bullet Band)

Thanks in part to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, Atmosphere were really one of the first Hip-Hop groups I discovered and got into on my own; It was right around the same time that Slug & Ant were gearing up to release Seven's Travels (2003) and Rhymesayers had licensed either "Trying to Find a Balance" or "The Keys to Life vs. 15 Minutes of Fame" for the board-driven gameplay. Atmosphere have released a steady string of Minnesota Boom-Bap albums ever since: You Can't Imagine How Much Fun We're Having, When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold, and The Family Sign. But in my eyes, nothing will ever live up to the near-perfect 19-track Seven's Travels. Slug has become something of an Underground Hip-Hop cult hero in recent years and even went as far as to self-proclaim Atmosphere as "The Bob Seger of Underground Rap" during a June Twitter exchange with fellow emcee, Flex Grossman ha.

Now, roughly a month or so later, Atmosphere have unveiled a brand new track dubbed "Bob Seger" which has been uploaded to iTunes and will most likely re-appear on a currently unannounced album. Littered with plenty of subtle Seger-sounding nuances and quite a few clever Silver Bullet Band references, "Bob Seger" seems like a surprisingly sincere tribute to the Michigan-bred Rock "N" Roll legend. Ever since recording and releasing their most recent record, The Family Sign (2011), Atmosphere has seemingly grown to include long-time collaborators Nate "The Guitar Man" Collins and keyboardist Erick Anderson and given "Bob Seger"'s Soft Rock-based undertone(s), I'm just gonna go ahead and assume they appear on the track, too. Atmosphere are currently headed out on The Kickin' Up Dust Tour, which'll be criss-crossing out glorious nation all Summer long, July 10-August 24th; Slightly Stoopid, Tribal Seeds, and The Grouch & Eligh will be opening for Atmosphere on select, alternating tour dates.

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra

"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
