Latest Slow Jam
TLC got a little soft for my taste towards the end of their career, but in their early days they did an incredible job of blending witty, aggressive lyrics with some fantastic style that truly epitomized the 90s Dowatchalike fashion ethos.
While the begging referenced in this song may have a very particular goal, I think it’s a sentiment that can be applied to a plethora of situations. When you really want something, sometimes it’s best to let pride take a back seat and lay it all out there. Hopefully the potential grantor of your wish will appreciate how important it is to you, and reward your honesty.

Camera Obscura’s My Maudlin Career
This is a heads-up for probable awesomeness. As they did with Neko Case’s Middle Cyclone, NPR will be streaming Camera Obscura’s new album, My Maudlin Career, beginning at 11:59pm tonight. Based on the sample track, French Navy, this should be another great album from Camera Obscura, whose last album, Let’s Get Out of This Country, reminded me of a pop re-imagining of the Good the Bad and the Ugly score.
*Update*
Well, as expected, it’s a solid album. I think I prefer Let’s Get Out of This Country a bit, largely for its more ethereal instrumentation. That may be my peculiar taste, and I could see many people preferring this album, because the individual songs seem to stand out a little more on their own.
Comparisons aside, I’m certain this album will be entering our household soon, and will be played frequently when we’re kicking back.
