It's said that The Roots are retiring from the road to be the backing band on "Late Night" when Conan gives up the seat to Jimmy Fallon. I'm not sure why Jimmy Fallon has to be involved in this...I guess "Late Night" is switching to a more impression-based format. Maybe they'll have a tribute to Rich Little on every night. So, barring any future bus accidents, if you get a chance, catch ?uestlove, Black Thought, Tuba Gooding Jr, and the rest of the P5D when you can. I've seen them twice, and they put on an all out jamfest. Plus, you might get treated to a rarity like this:



Cee-Lo should cover everything. I want an album of him, ?uestlove, and Jack White belting out covers.

Word to ya Mutha

So last night I watched "Entourage," turned off my TV and went to bed. Came home from work today, turned the TV back on, it was still on HBO from the night before, and playing "Cool As Ice." That's unfuckingbelievable.

I thought this was a holiday...

I don't floss as hard, but I hope Chuck & Mikey would think I do. An unbelievable amount of people asked me if today was a Federal Holiday or Bank Holiday. After standing in and reading about ridiculous lines to make three choices on a paper ballot, I'm starting to think it should be. Either way, I'm just glad they let me vote this year, so I can bitch and moan like the rest of America for the next 4 years. Seriously though, at my precinct, you filled out a ballot with a BIC pen. In a high-school cafeteria no less. For a minute, I thought I was voting for Class President. What fucking country is this?

In other news, my new music crush is on Jenny Lewis:

You Can Parody Whatever You Like

I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a fan of Weird Al. I am slightly ashamed to admit the amount of time I've spent watching his videos online. But if not for that, I wouldn't have found this little gem. Al has parodied T.I.'s Whatever You Like and made it all about our failing economy. Now this pops into my head every time I take my wife to Target. "Oh look there's the dollar bin...baby you can have whatever you liiiiike."



On a side note, Eminem released a track (freestyle, I guess) to get the internet all worked up about his new album "Relapse," due out sometime after Chinese Democracy. Reminds me of the early Shady, I think we need him back. Listen here (courtesy of hiphopDX).

I know that's kind of old news, I'm still high off the Beastie Boys set. Or Halloween candy.
