Turnip Tuesday: The Soft Moon – “Wrong”

Requesting suppressing fire, in the form of DRUMS… ALL.THE.PHUCKIN.DRUMS…  ALL OF THEM! Transformers too if you got em but, DRUMS COT DAMMIT!

Humpday Hymn: Usher – “Pumped Up Kicks” (BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge Cover)

U.O.E.N.O.

Humpday Hymn: Raury – “Crystal Express” (Live on Triple J Radio)

We All Need Life

Gotta be somethin in the Stone Mountain water. (shouts to Donald)

Midnight Snack: J. Cole – “Be Free”(Live on Letterman)

R.I.P Alton Sterling, R.I.P. Philandro Castille.

Throwback Thursday: Sting – “Driven To Tears” (On Stage Ft. Robert Downey Jr.)

Monday Mood: La Roux – “In For The Kill” (Live Abbey Road Sessions)

Electronic singers’ vocals can be buried in the synths, trap gaps, and general womp-womp-womp. That’s why live and acoustic versions are always refreshing. The words matter more. The voice is naked and completely itself. A guitar – or in this case – a piano is just there to back up the living voice for a thrill while going… In For The Kill.

I know that you’ll understand – and hold onto my hand!

Humpday Hymn: Theophilus London – “Based God” (Live at The Fader Fort)

Lil B The Basedgod is notorious for requiring based fans to prove their loyalty by sacrificing their partners for his satisfaction. On this Humpday, Theo humbly begs for mercy and exception with his his love while acknowledging he is in fact powerless to stop Based God’s appeal:

Studio CDQ Version:

FY Friday: Tyler The Creator – “Freestyle 4” (Remix)

Monday Mood: Frank Ocean – “Pyramids” (Live On SNL w/ John Mayer)

Because sometimes you just wanna get your arcade Galaga on, while John Mayer slays a solo after patiently waiting his turn.

Humpday Hymn: Raury – “Devil’s Whisper” (Live Colbert Performance)

Handclaps. Check. Hook with dope response. Check. Donald Trump in the building? YUP. Colbert invitation? I’ll take it!

That’s how this humpday hymn landed on our blog, and in your FACE. It’s also all the young Atlanta prodigy needed to completely own the moment.  Raury made the statement Colbert seemed too overwhelmed by the Donald to make to his face. Was it a coincidence for him to be musical guest on THIS night? Was it irony that his selection was a number about the devil whispering to him about how rich he is and will literally turn everything he touches to gold if he just sells his vote soul AS Donald Trump was backstage?  Sure… these freaky things happen. But, what Raury does for Stephen even at the end is worth watching:

Stephen, you better RUNNN!
