Your Friday Earsnack Forecast

Guess what, boys and girls?

It's Friday!

The earsnack forecast for today is very Drizzy with a chance of Robin Thicke.

Oh yeah. Get those umbrellas ready!

Probably the most perfect bridge between J. Cole's knock out Born Sinner release and Drake's upcoming album is this "freestyle". We all know Drake couldn't freestyle his way out of a sound booth (sorry, Drizzy) but J. Cole is pretty dang good at it. Drake's verses seem just as polished as anything else he does, while Cole takes his time and pulls in some classic freestyle rhymes and methods.

Versace Remix - Migos feat Drake

This is my guilty pleasure song. Drake is cocky as usual. There are constant denials of Illuminati fellowship. The true reason why I think this song is awesome because I now get to walk around and ask people "Versace?" like it's an actual question. I also respond to questions with "Versace" like it's an actual answer. Really I just say "Versace" whenever the mood strikes me.

Versace. Versace, Versace? Versace-Versace.

Give It 2 U - Robin Thicke ft Kendrick Lamar

Remember a few months back when the world was a calmer place and people tended to keep their clothes on in music videos?
Yeah, me neither. Because Robin Thicke came back and eff'd all that up (in a good way).
When I first heard 'Blurred Lines' I thought "What is this ignorant shit?"

Then it was stuck in my head.

Next, I was dancing to it.

Later, I saw the video on accident.

By that point, I was hooked.

Well, Robin has released the second single and it's equally jammin. Plus, Kendrick Lamar is here for the party. That's like when it's raining and then the sun comes out and then you see a rainbow and it's all pretty like in a Care Bears movie.

Bonus Earsnack - Drake's Girl Love Beyoncé. If you haven't heard that yet, check it out.

Enjoy these songs and your weekend!

Cold War Kids iHeart Radio Album Release Party - My Quick Opinions

I've seen the Cold War Kids twice now, and my favorite thing about seeing them is they love to let people see them for free in Los Angeles. A free show is always the right idea. This time I got to see them at the iHeart Radio stage in Burbank, California. It's a very cool space, and the staff is super nice. Part of this iHeart Radio streaming party was a line of questioning from iHeart Radio personality. It was cool to hear lead singer Nathan Willett talk about his love for Los Angeles and desire to use their new album, LA Divine, to set the record straight about the city's perception. He told Billboard the album is "the best version of what [they've] always done," and I agree. There's nothing particularly outstanding about the new album. There's no new, adventurous sound. The freshest thing about LA Divine is the effect the tumultuous year that was 2016 had on the lyrics. For example, Nathan told an amazing story about an art piece in New ...

Mrs. without the "r."

Of course I'm a feminist. Not that that needs explaining, but I absolutely believe in equal treatment and opportunities for both sexes. But being a feminist doesn't mean I burn bras every Tuesday night. I still adhere to a number of not-so-feminist-friendly traditions. For example, I hate taking the trash out. That's a "man's" job. I take the trash out when I must, but if I can ask Jersey Mike to do it , well that's just 10 times better. Typically, for me, a man's job is any job I don't want to do. Maybe that's not quite a tradition (more me leaning on societal norms to feed my laziness). But there's one tradition that, growing up, I always thought I'd be fine: Taking my husband's last name. My mother kept her maiden name when she married my father. She was born a Shute and felt that shouldn't have to change just because she found a cool guy to spend her life with. Growing up it wasn't confusing for me u...

Nothing Will Replace Gossip Girl, But Riverdale Is Close or Teen Shows I've Watched Lately

Each day I live and breathe, I'm inching closer to a time when I will no longer understand and will therefore lose the capacity to truly love a teen drama. But I'm not there yet, and I'm (still) searching for something to fill the void Gossip Girl left when it was revealed that Lonely Boy was the one putting the words in Kristin Bell's mouth. Gossip Girl first aired after an episode of America's Next Top Model. I remember this because my mother and I used to watch ANTM together in the days before girls started auditioning just so they could meet Tyra. But neither of us could leave the room once Gossip Girl's pilot began. We were both hooked immediately, and it would be a show we enjoyed together even after I left home for another city hours away, and then another state halfway across the country. GG was corny at times, and it had its pitfalls (how did Chuck Bass start Season 1 by trying to rape little Jenny and end it by kicking off what would become ...
