I’m a hustler baby! Happy Hump Day. Today’s song of the day is provided by Jay-Z. The song that Beyonce has performed on stage while on tour reminded me that Jay-Z has some SICK singles. Like this one, 99 problems, and anything off of any of his albums. The chorus features the Neptunes who we haven’t heard from in a while. But rumour has it, Pharrell is helping compose music for the Oscars!! Maybe we can throw Jay-Z in there for a little freestyle action.
song of the day: Jay-Z – I Just Wanna Love You

This french bands latest album “Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming” is on constant flow on my iPod. I started to wonder how did this band even come to be? Their song “Midnight City” is in a couple of commercials, they are getting some mild radio play, and people seem to know their music but who are they? Formed in 2001 by Anthony Gonzalvez, M83 has put out 6 albums to date. Yes, there is music before Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming! The band is known for their unique spins on songs like Bloc Party’s “The Pioneers” and Depeche Mode’s “Cover Walls” who they toured with in 2009. M83 have been working their butts off for a while now. Their music has influences from the 80′s, ambience and even a light touch of dance. Last year, the album I’m raving about placed #3 on Pitchfork Media’s top albums of 2011.
They must be doing something right!
Without going into a great detail about what they have done, you just need to listen to their latest album. Songs you must listen to are: Midnight City, Reunion, Wait, Reconte-Moi Une Histoire, New Map and OK Pal.
Just a few of my favourites! Put this band in your music library ASAP.

What you don’t know about Harry Styles from One Direction!

One Direction have been making all of you little girls and boys scream for the past couple of months. The band that placed 3rd in X-Factor over in the U-K are crossing over to North America and they are just blowing up. Their single “What Makes You Beautiful” is getting radio play like no other, and I’m thinking that they might take the effect that the Spice Girls had on the world. There is no dancing, or flashy stage shows…these guys just like to sing, walk around and be buddies in their music videos. But let’s focus in on one of the members, Harry Styles.
The boy who sings the pre-chorus in “What Makes You Beautiful” makes girls scream as much as the other boy band but did you know that he once dated a 30 year old? SAY WHAT? Yes the 18 year old boy was linked to Caroline Flack a TV host over in the U-K. The couple is ripping up tabloids over there about meeting at parties, planning parties, breaking up, getting back together…etc. But it seems like little old Harry likes big old woman! At the Brit Awards yesterday Harry confessed his love for Rihanna.
So if your 24 and up, Harry Styles might be coming for you.

Chris Brown is looking to get a real good smack down from CM Punk from the WWE. The wrestler took to his twitter to tell us about how he felt about Chris Brown being glorified for being a woman beater.
CM punk said
I would like
@chrisbrown fight somebody that can defend themselves. Me curb stomping that turd would be a#wrestlemaniamoment.
WWE superstars are gearing up for the Wrestlemania and in their ‘story lines’ they are all very angry with eachother. But CM Punk has other plans because he wants to ACTUALLY fight Chris Brown. Forget the suplexes, DDT’s, and piledrivers …CM Punk wants to curb stomp Breezy. After the wrestler had his say, Chris Brown came back with…
I really hope this 15 minutes of fame is paying you for the long run becuz music last forever! Wrestlers come and go according to ratings!”
So far Miranda Lambert and CM Punk have been the most vocal about Chris Brown’s return to the spotlight. But Rihanna doesn’t seem to care about any of this since they released the two songs they have together called “Birthday Cake” and “Turn Up The Music”. People have been theorizing about why the hell Rihanna would even consider going back to him to do music. One of the theories was that in an abusive relationship, the victim has a hard time getting over the person who hit them.
So weird, but it still doesn’t make it right.
