Something to worry about

Here's the first single off Peter Bjorn & John's new album Living Thing. It comes out March 31st.

88-Keys on the Moon Man

Really good read via 88 as he recalls upon his first encounter with CuDi and shares how he was one of the first to embrace the martian.

Its extra g.o.o.d.

"Its been a long, a long time comin'..."

But change gon' come (in the industry) come Love the Future, D.A. and Max's forthcoming-and well overdue-album. I saw the dudes of CF perform back in October and they put on a dope set, although i was one of the few to not wear a "What the f*ck are the white dudes doing on the stage?" expression on my face come the aftermath of their performance. Its a great first vid, and due to their Star Trak affiliation look for some really good visual interpretations to come (which I'm guessing will soon be done by that Hype Williams guy).

Yeah, this is your Super Bowl MVP

We usually don't cover sports here at The Boogie, at east not as much as I'd like. I did correctly predict the Steelers would win, but it was a lot closer than I thought it would be. Yet, it still hurts for some reason.

When you become connected to an athlete, they become a member of your family and you can't help but feel undiscriminated joy when they succeed. On the flipside, though, there is nothing worse than seeing one of your favorite athletes come thisclose to winning the Superbowl, only to come up short.

I've been following Kirt Warner since I was 10 years old. Frankly, I feel lucky that I got to see him perform so well on such a big stage- James Harrison taint not withstanding. Still, it kind of sucks. I've been watching the highlights on SportsCenter all day and whenever I see Fitzgerald's slant-turned-touchdown, I keep thinking maybe this time the Cardinals defense will sack Rothlisburger on that 1st and 20 or 3rd and 6.

They never quite get to him.

But I can't be too mad. It was a great game. Even so, I did have a few problems with the game.

1) How the hell did nobody review Kurt Warner's "fumble" at the end of the game. Everyone thought it was an incomplete pass. After seeing the replay, everyone REALLY thought it was an incomplete pass. My theory? The NFL figured the Cardinals would- given another shot- end the game with an incomplete jump-ball to Fitzgerald and felt the fumble was a much better way to finish it. There is some merrit to this theory. Back in 2002, Adam Vinatieri's winning field goal came with clearly 2 seconds left, but someone decided to just let the clock run out. How can you pssoibly say that kick took 7 seconds?

2) The refs seemed to make every call go the Steelers way. On one drive, the Cardinals had 3 personal fouls that kept giving the Steelers first downs. If you watch the highlights, you can see 2 of them were bad calls. And as far as that holding call in the end zone that gave the Cardinals a safety? One, that was a good call. Two, the play before, Willie Parker got tackled inside the end zone, but there was mysteriously no safety called on that.

So This is the Real Reason for the 10,000 Calorie Intake...

I'm starving...

Good luck deciphering the lyrics in this one. The Commander and Chief of Next Selection is set to take over the game come February 10th. Do yourself a favor and cop this one come its release.

Dude honestly has like 26 instruments he is capable of playing in his repetoire.

And the winner will be...

I don't want it to happen, but it will. I love Kurt Warner, I love Fitz, I love Boldin (and anyone from Pahokee for that matter), but the Steelers are going to walk away with this. The blame needs to be on SportsCenter because all they've been doing is pumping up the Cinderella-Cardinals. You don't think Hines Ward and Troy Polamalu have been watching that and getting pissed off? You don't think that plays a factor? ESPN has killed the Cardinals.
