Kanye West - Lost In The World

From Idolator:

Kanye West’s “Lost In The World”—his latest jam to surface online—is not unlike Jason Derulo’s 2009 smash “Whatcha Say” in that it samples a pensive, Auto-Tuned indie hit (in this case Bon Iver’s “Woods”) and re-purposes it into a proper rump-shaker. Oh, God—what are we saying? This is actually ten times better than “Whatcha Say”! Get lost in ‘ye’s world below

Mark Ronson - Record Collection

From Fader:

Simply put, Record Collection (out 9/28) is our favorite thing Mark Ronson has ever done, and that’s not just cause it’s packed with FADER faves like MNDR, Ghostface, Pill, Spank Rock, D’Angelo (!), Wiley and Theophilus. Like his prior producer albums, it’s glossed up with his extensive range: hip-hop, Brit pop, video game electro, international spy music, new wave, etc. But it also really shows how he’s come into his own over the past couple years, each track seamlessly threaded to the other with his adventurousness. Which is not to say his prior works were not cohesive or adventurous, but Record Collection just feels more confident and fresh. Maybe it’s about growing up, maybe it’s about getting stronger, but either way, jamming melodies. Also, this dude got D’Angelo and Boy George to come out the back shed! Cannot front on that. Tracklist after the jump.

Sushi Pop Art Series 1 at Royal T

"Japanese cuisine is diverse with many faucets of flavors and styles. Sushi in the eyes of Master Chef Kenny Yamada is more than mere fish on top of rounded rice but tools that can be transformed into a work of art. He believes that food must not only be delicious but visually appetizing." This looks pretty awesome, if only I had found out about it a little earlier since tonight is the last night. Plus a 9 course dinner for only $60 really isn't bad. Gonna have to keep my eye on this to see when it pops up next.

James Fauntleroy - Te Amo

So I'm sure everyone has heard Rihanna's big hit, "Te Amo"....at least they were playing the video a lot when I was oversees (music television was pretty much the only thing in English...so I watched a decent amount of music videos)...but what you may not know is that the song was written by my buddy James Fauntleroy. I really like his original version, probably even better than Rihanna's.
