Geekin’ out on J. Cole

31 Jan

Some real spit during this conversation last month between J. Cole and Angie Martinez (Most kids my age loved Jenny McCarthey, but at 15, I was into Angie–Rap City ya’ll!!).

For the whole, a good interview, but I got a little annoyed every time she joked about the conversation being “too depressing.” Worth a listen though, if you don’t have time for that, at least check out the Letterman appearance he’d made the night before. For all the goofy shit that Grantland posts on its website, I don’t remember one mention of this performance. I guess it was not entertaining enough.

Still can’t believe I saw this cat in person last summer. Just listening to him talk makes me wanna step my game up.

Happy Birthday to the Thin White Duke

This is really funny to me for a number of reasons. I think Luther Vandross is one of the backup singers. I wasn’t crazy about this album growing up (I preferred Station to Station and the Berlin Trilogy albums), but this and Fame still stand up. I’m sure if this video were my introduction to Bowie I would not have been such a big fan of his.

Geeking out on Bill Murray and David Letterman

Really takes you back to different time. I realized after watching this that I have always thought of Jack Black as a cruder, less funny, hacky Bill Murray.
