Probably what ?uesto and co envisioned when they wrote “Birthday Girl.”
The girl in red shoes could use a couple of cheeseburgers.

Their slap-happy razzle dazzle single from Rising Down. It’s got that “I’ve heard this before” attribute, but it works. I can see this getting major spin at birthdays everywhere.

The Roots - Get Busy [Video]

Friday, March 7th, 2008


Directed by the indomitable Rik Cordero.

Good to see Cheerios getting some much-deserved shine in this video. Nothing gets me up and going in the morning better than a big bowl of Cheerios. Cap ‘n’ Crunch also gets the job done occasionally.

The best part about this Philly celebration is that it doesn’t remind me of “Long Time.” And I mean that as a compliment. It takes a certain amount of creativity to recreate a feeling without relying on the same recipe.

I’ll even forgive Peedi for saying “F*ck the Internet.”
