this is just a tribute: Arthur Russell

"I'm A Little Lost Without You"

Jens Lekman , whose Night Falls Over Kortedala is a breath of fresh summer swedish disco pop, compiled this four song tribute to avant-garde cellist and disco producer Arthur Russell, who collaborated with David Byrne, Phillip Glass & Allen Ginsberg (just to name a few). Unfortunately, in 1992 Russell fell ill with the AIDS virus and, as Kyle Gann of the Village Voice wrote, "vanished into the music." Jens and some friends, including the enchanting Victoria Bergman of Taken By Trees, put this compilation together as a tribute to a true one of a kind. More on Arthur Russell soon.

Those cats at the Hood Internet done did it again. This time they bring in all of our favorites. Literally. R. Kelly, Jens Lekman, and Kid Rock! I can honestly say that I've listened to Jens joyously weep over "If I Could Cry (It Would Feel Like This" a shit load of times, and never, not once thought about Kels. God bless the Hood Internet.

pre-vue: Lil Jon

"You Can Do It All By Yo'Self"

Billboard is reporting that Lil Jon is crafting a rap/rock hybrid sound for his new album Crunk Rock, set to drop on October 30.

Says Jon: "I worked with the guitar player from P.O.D....Kid Rock, and a few others. My sh*t is real rock guitars with my beats, not keyboard guitars with ghetto beats." After fellow ATLiens Shop Boyz reached #2 on the charts with their own rap/rock banger, "Party Like a Rockstar", it seems like Lil Jon might be on to something big.

LJ promises that Crunk Rock will be some "next level sh*t." Check out the seizure-inducing video for the album's first single (which was released in May 2006) below.
