So as of late I have been all about the Mark Ronson, particularly his new album Version, a jazz infused, soul laced excercise in the groove featuring the likes of Lily Allen, Phantom Planet, and Kenna covering the Kaiser Chiefs, Radiohead, and Ryan Adams just to name a few. I just can't get enough. Shit, anybody that can take a Coldplay track, rework it, add some horns, and make it sound like the soundtrack to a late 70's early 80's espionage thriller gets points in my book. You too should go ahead and stream it for free at myspace. You won't be dissapointed.
PERSONAL FAVES: The aforementioned God Put A Smile Upon Your Face/Amy Winehouse's inspired cover of the Zuton's Valerie/Stop Me feat Daniel Merriweather [and a unexpected refrain courtesy of the Supremes/And of course, the chopped and screwed version of Britney Spears' Toxic starring Tiggers and Ol' Dirty Bastard. Yes. Ol' Dirty.
And bigs up E.Wheeler for helping a brotha out. Much love.
