New Video from Lana Del Rey - "Born to Die"

Azealia Banks - "Liquorice"

This is a new track by Azealia Banks. It's called "Liquorice" and it's wonderful. No download yet, but I'll post a link when I find it. In the meantime, give this a listen and love it.

LIQUORICE by Azealia Banks

R.I.P. Slim Dunkin

From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution: "[Slim] Dunkin, whose real name is Mario Hamilton, 24, was  rushed to Grady Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

[Police] said that Hamilton got into a "verbal altercation"  before the video shoot and the person he was arguing with pulled out a pistol and shot Hamilton once in the chest."

Old Records I Learned to Love in 2011

Organized by how many times I played them. The only rules: nothing released in the 2011. Compiled by making a smart playlist on iTunes that collected everything added to my library in 2011, then screening out records that have a 2011 publishing date. Multiple tracks from the same record are not included. All videos are studio versions of the song except for the last track. Fortunately, that one is a stellar live performance. Enough shop talk, though. Here's the tunes!
