A Tribe Called Quest - “Can I Kick It?”
Dipping back into an old school classic today. In 1990, A Tribe Called Quest broke onto the hip hop scene with their forward thinking debut, People’s Instinctive Travels And The Paths Of Rhythm.
Filled w/ samples (most notably Lou Reed’s “Walk On The Wild Side”) and the smooth vocal stylings of Q-Tip and Phife Dawg, “Can I Kick It?” was the first Tribe song I ever heard as a kid, and to this day remains one of the greatest tracks in hip hop history… no-brainer.

Rilo Kiley — Wires and Waves
oceans and waves and wires between us
I woke up in the most poisonous mood this morning. In response, the world has been conspiring to make me smile/laugh all day. Good job, world!

Rattled by the Rush - Pavement
This song came banging at the door to my brain out of nowhere today, shouting about how awesome it is and how could I forget?

Holding Hands Still Counts (When You’re Wearing Gloves) - Seth and Nathan Johnson
According to iTunes, I have two dozen albums categorized as Holiday, and yet the only ones I have been able to stand listening to this year are Christmas with the Rat Pack, Ella Wishes You a Swingin’ Christmas, and, somewhat incongruously, An Elephant Hug Christmas.

Canadian students Kate Macdonald and Janelle Blanchard recorded a version of Neko Case’s brooding “Star Witness” on a school staircase and the result moved Case to tears. “Wow. That just made me bawl my eyes out,” she tweeted. “What beautiful singers. I’m not worthy… Holy god. They broke the shit out of my heart!!” Mine, too. They accomplish this with a ukelele, angelic voices, a talent for harmony - and a mission to save their school.
The Peterborough Collegiate and Vocational School houses an arts-intensive program that draws creative students from the Toronto area. But, in September, the local school board voted to close the school. It is the only school in downtown Peterborough and is described by locals as vital to the life of the community. Kate and Janelle took to the stairwell to record Case’s song to draw attention to the impending closure. That tweet from Case has the video (by Jared Raab) flying around the internet. You don’t want to miss it. This is a tough time for school arts programs and these enormously talented students give the need to support arts in schools faces and achingly clear voices.
