Be Cool, My Babies

Reuben Wilson “Hold On, I’m Comin’!” – I swear to God, if I ever had a radio or television show, I would have this be my theme song. If Conan O’Brien ever makes good on his threat about doing a surprise episode which is nothing but him, the audience, and his guests dancing awkwardly to the band for a full hour, the Max Weinberg Seven should definitely play this song sometime during that episode.

Method Man w/ Ol’ Dirty Bastard “Ain’t A Damn Thing Changed” – The backing track to this song sounds very very similar to another hip hop hit that was all over BET last year – I think it was the Young Gunz, but I’m not sure. I wasn’t too into that song, so I wasn’t paying attention, and either way, it sounds a lot better with Method Man. This may or may not be on the forthcoming Method Man lp. Ol’ Dirty Bastard is definitely wasted on the chanted chorus, but you take what you can get with that guy, I guess.

Just a note to my NYC-area readers – are any of you going to see the Scissor Sisters at the Bowery Ballroom on Saturday night? I’ll be there, by myself, and I’d be happy to meet you if you’re going to be there. Just give me some advance notice.
