Saw Charlie Wilson and The Gap Band in concert last night at The Greek Theatre in Hollywood, one of the tightest venues ever.
Unfortunately I missed Keith Sweat but caught Uncle Charlie’s whole set. He brought Teddy Riley out for a bunch of songs and then brought out Snoop Dogg at the end.

Saw this on his myspace and thought it was cool. He’s definitely put in work. Started at Harvard when he was 16 and graduated at 19.

AHMIR Thompson was sitting in the back of a town car inching through Midtown when he received a vexing call from management, not entirely unlike the one that opens “Rising Down” (Def Jam), the new album by the Roots. One month before its release there were problems with a hidden track, and Mr. Thompson, better known as ?uestlove, the Roots’ drummer and bandleader, made no attempt to hide his frustration, raising his voice in protest.

Sam Sparro. He’s kinda ridiculous in a kinda good way but I think this song and video are both amazing.
