This comes as a surprise because Kate Earl has been in my collection for a couple of years. In fact, Fate Is A Hunter spawned two hits in our heart – the Fiona Apple drab of “Someone To Love” and the DUI anthem “Officer.” But, she might be pulling some stops from the Joss Stone autobiography by re-positioning herself as a new and/or fresh artist with Introducing Kate Earl. The Alaska native, and hopefully non-Sarah Palin friend, is all over iTunes with this EP. It’s faster than her usual stuff from the debut album, but still doesn’t stray too far away from the singer-songwriter aura her fans know her for.
This baby break dances…
2Ledisi returns with a funkier edge
Seems like she is divorcing neo for the soul. The late-neosoul singer has opted for a funkier sound and look for her August release. With her voice, she can do anything she wants. Let’s just hope Turn Me Loose is more substance less hype.

Don’t Quote Me, Vol. 220
“Fly free and happy beyond birthdays and across forever, and we’ll meet now and then when we wish, in the midst of the one celebration that never can end.”
– Richard Bach
Video: “22″ by Lily Allen
It’s a fun catchy pop tune, but I don’t think that it’ll make any waves. Just because the album’s buzz is dying down and the other singles are stronger. The video is also lackluster, but fitting to the lyrics.
Alex Roots stumbles before she can walk
We featured her a while ago in hopes that she will be the next big thing, except now that we see the album cover we digress. It’s worse than Sanjaya‘s. This is just atrociously horrid. The typeface, the dog, the pose, the fashions, the background. Everything!

When sunglasses married USB

“Strange bedfellows can make for great style. They can also just make things…strange. We’ll leave it to you to decide which camp this merger of flash drive and sunglasses falls into. Arriving from ck Calvin Klein this fall, the glasses feature a detachable arm that reveals a 4GB USB port, ready to store music, photos, or data.” Thanks A.
Must-Watch: Video: “Love In July” by Sally Shapiro
1“I Gotta Feelin’” gets to the top spot
So, as with my prediction. “I Gotta Feelin’” went all the way to the top spot even with the whole Perez Hilton / Will.I.Am controversy. The song is solid and it’s perfect for pre-gaming or dressing up before you go out clubbing or partying. Fergie is invincible even when the album has stolen shit on it.

I have to say, I rarely watch movies because they don’t make them like they used to, but, I am looking forward to this one.
Everyone needs their own personal urinal
When you really have to go and have nowhere to answer nature’s call this is the thing for you. It’s a handy little sack that you pee into when you need to and then it gels up so you don’t experience any leakages. and it comes in this compact, ready to take everywhere package. With this, who needs the bathroom. Public urination is always fun. Plus, you can get it from Amazon.
Even birds are moonwalking…
We go from the worst Michael Jackson tribute on the face of the planet to the best one. Some birds apparently moonwalk to mate. I moonwalk to mate, too. I have, at least. At any rate, this is a pretty cool homage. MJ we love you and nature loves you.
Malaysians name drink after Michael Jackson
It’s made out of soy, strips of dark jelly and ice. It’s inspired by MJ’s “Black & White” song and is becoming quite popular in the indochinese peninsula. There’s no alcohol in it, though (boo!). Anyway, whatever happened to his energy drink that came out mid-90s’. It was called Mystery or something like that?

First, he wasn’t “bay” he was “Bad,” Second, MJ does not do chest slaps. The horror!
Get sassy with your knife set
1
So, metal is out and ceramic is in. Is it environmentally friendlier? Maybe. But, it sure looks smooth and sassy. This knife set is the newest from Yanko Design. Taking inspiration from the utilitarian cooking implements of generations (long) passed, designer Matthias Kaeding has fashioned a new version of the neolithic knife. The ceramic knives have both blunt and sharp sides, allowing a full range of kitchen tasks in a single tool. A touch more attractive than the typical chefs knife, and certainly fuller in capacity.
Lady GaGa goes crazy
1Dior Homme revisits the high neck jacket
I hate to break it to you but summer’s almost over and it’s time to stock up on the sexy winter clothes. Maybe, not in Kuwait. But, it doesn’t hurt to get this for this fall’s East European travels (Warsaw is the new Rome, didn’t you know?). Anyway, one can always count on Dior Homme to respect the skinny fashionably sensible man / FTM.
Video: “Sweet Dreams” by Beyonce
The first track to ever leak has gotten to be the last Sasha Fierce single. Now it looks like Beyonce will do the same thing she did for B’Day – make a video for every song no matter how crapola.
