Kick off your weekend right. Justice + Wale = Hailing from DC/PG County, Wale may not be well known yet nationally, but he “came to get it” and will be (Bold Prediction Alert!) a household name soon enough. Wale’s first full album (He’s released 5 mixtapes) drops November 3. So for now, enjoy his remix [...]

In honor of Jay-Z’s 9/11 benefit concert at MSG, this week’s Friday Fuel features the jigga man himself. But instead of a new track, I thought I’d take us back to 2001 and the original Blueprint.

What a beautiful day! Maybe Spring has finally sprung. I figured a nice upbeat song like Me and Mia, from Ted Leo and the Pharmacists 2004 album ‘Shake the Sheets,’ would be some great fuel to kickoff the weekend. As Teddy commands us, “Do you believe in something beautiful? Then get up and be it.”

This week’s Friday Fuel comes from the Talking Heads‘ concert film ‘Stop Making Sense,’ widely considered one of the best rock movies ever made. Gotta love the 80s, they don’t make dance moves like they used to

For Friday Fuel 15 here comes “15 Step” live from this year’s Grammy Awards. Radiohead busted out all the stops for this one, including the USC Trojan Marching Band and an undeniable “muppet swag” from Thom Yorke. Don’t believe me? Just ask ?uestlove.

It was coined “the male response to ‘Oughta Know’” by some source that I cannot seem to rediscover. I feel that was a mildly appropriate observation in some respects, but not in others. Listen and [...]

Back in 1993 Conan O’Brien made his debut as host of NBC’s Late Night. At his request, Radiohead was the music act that night. This was their performance. You’ve got to give props to Conan – not only has he been rockin’ that hair for over fifteen years on national television, but he’s got impeccable [...]

This one seems fitting for the snowy winter doldrums we’ll be stuck in for upcoming days.

Okay, so this is really two songs, called “The Snow Miser Song” and “The Heat Miser Song” but that title would be stupendously long. Anyway, I apologize in advance for how badly this song is going to get stuck in your head… at least the horns. This is from The Year Without Santa Clause. I’m [...]

This funky joint from John Butler Trio‘s 2007 album Grand National will definitely get you groovin on a Friday like you should.
