Bits and Pieces, November was Pretty Awesome

There was a lot of stuff that I missed writing about in November. Bummer. It was on my mind the whole time, but, hey, I was busy... weak excuse. Anywho, in sexy list format, here's the awesome that dropped in November:

Kanye West's Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy - Fantastic album. I am a Kanye West fan. Absolutely. I like the way the man carries himself and I love the way he stays motivated and interested in his craft. This album is well worth a few listens. It's epic, and not in the way that the word is overused nowadays, it's epic in the actual sense of the word.

Cee Lo Green's The Lady Killer - I don't have any real basis for this comparison, but this album feels like the bombastic sexy 70's to me. It's romantic and soulful, loud and playful, and goddamn can Cee Lo sing.

Super Meat Boy on XBox Live Arcade - The most difficult and fun platforming game that I have ever had the privilege of playing. The levels take no more than 30 seconds to beat... if you don't factor in the insane amount of death that you will experience. If you have any kind of competitive edge, you'll want to play this game until you hurt. It's happened to me plenty of times.

There's probably more, but, I'm kind of lazy, and they aren't rolling off the of my head like they should.

GOOD Fridays

On the off chance that you aren't addicted to the internet like I am you may not have heard about Kanye West's GOOD Friday project. What, you're not addicted to Kanye West? That's silly, don't play. Every Friday, until December, Mr. West is going to be releasing a new track online, for free! He already has 10 free tracks out there, and it's crazy how good this stuff is. It's not like you're only getting Kanye for free, you're also getting Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber, Raekwon, Common, Kid Cudi, John Legend, and more!

It's not even like Kanye is just slowly releasing a new album online for free, like some artists have done, he's also developing a new album at the same time. Are some of the GOOD Friday tracks going to be on the new album? Probably. But, who cares? I've always wanted artists to give me more, an album every other doesn't do it for me. If I love your music I want to have something new to listen to all the time. I could use a new EP every month from every artist, and that's pretty much what Kanye is delivering here.

Shit, I just think it's really cool. The man has a real love for what he's doing and his fans. I can get behind that.
