Station’s Creation, an instrumental jam by Nik Furious. This track was unearthed in a recent ProTools recovery, but chopped up real nasty by Nik on this very day and transformed into what you hear now.

Sorry if I throw a million posts your way this week. I feel like I have to blog my ass off now since I’ll be on the road starting Thursday. I caught today’s ep of FNMTV during the afternoon and well, I think it speaks for itself. No wait, I take that back. I’ll speak for it:
Ne-Yo - Closer (Live)
Whenever I see Ne-Yo I can’t help but think he looks like a less popular version of Chris Brown mixed with Djimon Hounsou. He does use a real band though and that’s kind of cool. Dancers’ outfits suck though.
Pink - So What
Homegirl is really in her element here. Pretty impressive that Hart agreed to do the video. I generally don’t dig Pink - and probably will continue not too - but this video is alright. Great song to get drunk too. In fact, I think I might just go do that right now.
Cassie - Official Girl
Wow. So much to say, check out this week’s full fledged review.
John Legend - Green Light ft. Andre 3000
The beat is wack, the hook sucks, and Andre 3000 employs stream of consciousness rather than structured verse - but god damn would I like to be at that party. It looks like a lot of fun. Especially if it’s not your house.
Ne-Yo - Miss Independent (Live)
Ne-Yo’s gimmick for this album is wearing suits. He also plays off the emerging trend of ‘independent women’ in hiphop. Apparently ballers no longer want to get with guap gulping groupies. Besides the obvious advantages of her picking up the check once in a while, a girl that gets her own cash might support you if your abum flops.
The Bottom Line: Pink obviously takes the gold this week - but I think I’ll give John Legend the silver for a decent party scene.
Phoenix Bay, another new hip hop beat by Nik Furious. This electronic instrumental was unearthed when Nik (a.k.a. me) got ProTools back after a few years without his L1 Ultramaximizer.
Legal Green, a new hip hop beat by Nik Furious. Bonus points if you can guess who it’s named after.
Another Saturday, another recap of FNMTV. I’m a bit out of my element this week as I haven’t heard of any of these artists. Frankly, they don’t really coincide with my sphere of musical tastes. So, please excuse my ignorance as I break it down. (and can you believe Bernie Mac just died?)
Donnie Klang - Take You There
First of all, who picks up girls in a liquor store? Second, this Puffy/Klang thing looks like it was specifically devised to compete with the Timbaland/Timberlake sound; it doesen’t compare. Puffy, please back out of the music business and retire to being simply a celebrity. Readers, if you want to see a more accurate idea of how video would have played out, please watch The Boys & Girls Guide to Getting Down.
Morningwood - Sugarbaby
Haha. Morningwood. I love making fun of American Apparel wearing, gold digging, label whoring, hipster girls. The puppet thing is great too. This video is good for at least 5-6 viewings before I get sick of it - and that’s saying a lot.
The Cab - I’ll Run
This video is comprised of a band performance, long shaggy hair flying around, and some people making out in front of public transportation. There’s no tension, conflict, narrative, and no running. Lastly, is the lead singer seriously rocking a non-skinny tie in 2008? What a fashion faux pas! Homeboy needs a new stylist.
Santogold - L.E.S. Artistes (Live)
Santogold is kind of like a skinny Macy Gray, with a simiarly hard to listen to voice. Don’t even get me started on the leotard / jumpsuit outfit. I just can’t get into her steez. Sorry!
The Bottom Line: Morningwood wins the gold medal for “least terrible video” this week along with a special commendation for actually being funny.
From the Ashes, an instrumental song by Nik Furious. This is a bit of a cheat because it’s really just the beat from last week’s Unlicensed Attorneys at Law hip hop track, Pork-N-Beanz. Still, the instrumental is significantly different enough to sound more like a funk track. Plus, this coincides with the debut of the updated Nik Furious webpage featuring a music player.
We stick it to Pigtail Girl, Marvel Adventures Super Heroes #1, Avengers: The Initiative #15, Uncanny X-Men #500, Black Panther #38, X-Men Legacy #214, superhero codenames, Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D, Chromeo, 2D fighting games vs. 3D fighting games, Street Fighter, Winged Migration, voting, celebrity pairings (Rob Schneider and Tom Lennon, Jeremy Piven and Joe Rogan, Tom Arnold and Jim Belushi), Mad Men, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and so much more that we can’t even remember.
