Just heard the new Jose Gonzalez track on Zane Lowe… and grabbed a rip of it. Gone is the deliberate fingerpicking of Crosses, I'm sure this song is more impressive live. I've listened to it half a dozen times already, and it just hasn't clicked yet. Anyone that reads this knows I love JG, but this is the first single?
Jose Gonzalez - Down The Line

A story on AOL today caught my eye: apparently, among the new works added to Webster's Dictionary this year is the tired term "crunk". Even worse is the definition:
Crunk: A style of Southern rap music featuring repetitive chants and rapid dance rhythms
Repetitive chants, rapid dance rhythms? Really? That's the best they could do to define it? DVR, speed dating, and ginormous also are to be added.
