Angus, mwah. How have I not heard this Usher song?

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
See, if it wasn't for Buffistas I'd never know about pop radio hits.
Albums I've heard of for years and only heard today (an occasoinal series): Talk Talk's Spirit of Eden. It's awesome.
I'd back the Spirt of Eden love.
I LOVE the Usher song and was just saying so in here the other day. I have no love for Britney's "Toxic" and despite myself I like "Slow Jamz". Still Usher wins easily in my voting. "Yeah" is the "Rock Your Body" of this year in my head.
Anyone heard of Visqueen? Amazon.com loves them, and I loved the two songs they offered for download, so I got the CD. It's pretty good, loud and crunchy. I feel like I should think it's more amazing, though, considering the reviews I read. It's fun, though, and perhaps I'll catch all the nuances on further listens. CD Baby sums 'em up:
1 cup sugar blasted vocals, 1 cup skin pounding drums, 1 cup thundering bass legend. Mix together in blender with crushed Joey Ramone. Serve chilled, over ice.
This is the first I've heard of them.
This phrase
1 cup skin pounding drums
gives me a major squick. ew.

Sounds like instructions on tenderizing chicken. Of couse then, blender = ew.
Nerve.com asked some musicians for summer listening recommendations. I'm wearing two sweaters and my fingers are numb, so I'm having difficulty getting into the summer mindset. The maintenance guy says the a/c is on its lowest setting, but I question his judgment since: a) it's July 7 b) I'm wearing a sweater and rubbing my hands yet c) he still asked me, and he wasn't being sarcastic, "So you want more air conditioning?"
