All of the Names in the Lights

Not sure how many of you know this, but 11 people do the vocals for the original version of Kanye's 'All of the Lights'. While this includes the usual suspects like Rihanna and John Legend, it also involves the more unexpected La Roux among others. Plus the video is pretty fun to watch when you are into typography like I am. (or...Rihanna's ability not to wear clothes....)

Cudder 'n Black

Carls recently drug Weis and me to see Dan Black at ACL, where I was only somewhat shocked to see such a great show! The crazy brit tenor has quite the stage presence and following.

Annnnnyway, when I heard that Dan Black had done a collab with Kid Cudi on one of my favorite songs, I said gimme gimme symphonies! This newish version of the song is featured on NBA 2K11, which I guarantee to be a ballin' game, given this excellent addition to the soundtrack.
