Dope Body & Air-smuggled German Beer: Kelis & Dave Sitek

Dope Body & Air-smuggled German Beer: Kelis & Dave Sitek - "Jerk Ribs" (Ninja Tune)

For the sake of cohesive clarity, maybe it should be duly noted that the majority of this very post was written down in my parents' basement earlier tonight while I was listening to Dope Body's latest Sludge-Punk album, Natural History, and drinking midair-smuggled German beer: While I can't exactly say that I'm a huge Kelis fan, and you may not be either, but let's be totally honest... who isn't at least vaguely familiar with "Milkshake" or even "Got Your Money" (ODB)? TIME further notes that Kelis has essentially bounced all over the place during her 15-year career; "she made strange, funky Pop songs like "Milkshake" [with Pharrell] that took over American radio. She was more forceful still with clanging, dissonant R&B tracks like "Bossy." Then, she transformed into a spaced-out Electro-House diva on her last album, 2010's Flesh Tone." Now the ex-wife of legendary Queens emcee Nas, Kelis has teamed up with TV On The Radio multi-instrumentalist and super-producer Dave Sitek for her upcoming album, Food. "It's like we're such different people, but I met him and he's really just this brilliant, strange creature, Kelis recently elaborated to label Ninja Tune about her unexpected partnership with Sitek.

"I musically fell in love with him and I think he's just a divine person. It's ridiculous how much we speak the same language, musically and food-wise." She's actually a highly trained chef, who took a cordon bleu course around 2008-09 after a messy four-year long break-up with her then-label. The self-described "cornerstone of [the] album," "Jerk Ribs" (formerly Call On Me) is the latest re-released video-single pulled from Food, which was recorded in-between impromptu Kelis-cooked meals at Dave Sitek's LA home-studio with a revolving door of talented musical buddies. It's sparse companion behind-the-scenes video follows Kelis around Mexico while getting ready for a few glammed up photoshoots and eventually getting photographed, filmed, and whatnot. Just days ago, it was revealed that Kelis will host her own Cooking Channel show called Saucy and Sweet, which will reportedly debut nation-wide on February 26th at 8:30pm EST. Ahead of Food's impending April 21-22nd release, Ninja Tune unveiled a second teaser single, "Rumble" early last week, as well as a Stereogum-premiered glitched-out Mount Kimble re-work of "Jerk Ribs."

[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

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.

That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of
