aka avant garde musical water cooler discussion.
1. Sade releases Sophie Muller directed video for “Soldier of Love”

Possibly due to a dearth of R & B or pop chanteuses with a classic sound on the market at the moment, Sade has cleared a free path for herself back to the top of the charts merely based off of the titanic strength of her eponymous lead single for her album which drops in February. Eschewing a move to more modern production for her comeback salvo, “Soldier of Love” sounds, and now also looks like nothing on radio or television at the present. Anticipation for the album is high, and in using Mike Pela and her exact same group of producers and songwriters she has always surrounded herself with for her canon of epic hits, I fully expect this album to be the defining R & B smash of the year.
2. Bird Peterson remixes Robin Thicke’s “Sex Therapy.”
Any reader of the site knows that one of my favorite remixes of 2009 was Austin native Peterson’s take on Wu Tang rhymeslayer Method Man’s intro to “M.E.T.H.O.D. Man,” “Torture Motherfucker.” Well, as well as being a valued contributor on Mad Decent’s Free Gucci: Best of Gucci Mixtapes project, he’s also remixed Robin Thicke’s slightly more mature content of “Sex Therapy.” It’s a thoroughly soulful house/electro take on the track, and absolutely indicative of the talents of the usually bass heavy Texas native. http://goo.gl/fb/yL5t For more on Bird Peterson, check http://www.myspace.com/birdpeterson
3. LUVSTEP. Valentine’s Day.

Notes from the good Philly homies Dirty South Joe and Flufftronix on what is my favorite mixtape of quite some time that you will come to absolute be enamored of on Valentine’s Day:
Luvstep, a 60 minute mix by Dirty South Joe & Flufftronix illuminating the sensual side of dubstep. Coming to Mad Decent Worldwide Radio on Valentine’s Day, 2/14/10.
Plus, anything involving the film Say Anything is a GIANT win in my book.
4. At this moment, this is the hottest hip hop mix on the planet:
NYC’s DJ Ayres, Cosmo Baker and Eleven combine forces as The Rub and throw easily some of the hottest parties in NYC with ONLY the freshest music. This mix is easily the best best thing the crew has EVER put together, a 60 minute audio journey that takes you through the history of hip hop and its predecessors, giving you only the highs of emotion of the sound over and over and over again until you submit yourself wholeheartedly to the belief that, as, Fruitkwon of Stetsasonic says, “there ain’t nothin’ like hip hop music!”
