Song of the Moment: El-P - “$4Vic/FLT (Me and You)”
Album: Cancer for Cure [Fat Possum; 2012]
Genre: Experimental Hip Hop
Original Dreamgirl Jennifer Holliday knows from stank faces; poor Idol runner-up Jessica Sanchez can barely keep up. The bottom line: This performance of “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going” is a master class in ridiculata.
Diva crazy face time.
I’ve never been an illegal downloader, but this is a bit ridiculous. They’ve sued a defunct company for more than 12 trillion than exists.
Song of the Moment: David Bazan - “Hard to Be”
Album: Curse Your Branches [Barsuk; 2009]
Genre: Indie Rock
I am ashamed that despite my love of Pedro the Lion I never picked up Bazan’s solo work until now. This is a very different style, but represents a great deal of artistic growth.

Song of the Moment: HEALTH - “Tears”
Album: Max Payne 3 Soundtrack
Genre: Noise Rock
“TEARS”, the original song by Max Payne 3 Soundtrack composers HEALTH first heard in the game’s official TV spot.
Ok, it’s no “USA Boys” - but it is still really good.

Song Ruined of the Moment: Coldplay - “Paradise” “Parasites”
When she was just a girl
She expected well done
But she was served some rare beef so
She ate it to be polite
She contracted
Para-para-parasites, Para-para-parasites, Para-para-parasites
Every time she took a bite.
Holy crap, it finally leaked somewhat.
