All this build-up is making me dizzy. Wake me up when Rising Down drops.

Captain Kirk for President

The Roots performed “Star Spangled Banner” on Colbert Report last night. Perfect avenue. Perfect timing. And, given the current political climate, perfect choice of musicians. Captain Kirk really killed it. But if you’ve ever seen these fellas live, then his guitarrific performance shouldn’t surprise you.

On another note, I’m mad at Colbert; he has a copy of Rising Down and I don’t.

Video – The Roots’ Birthday Girl

Oh boy, music videos are raining like confetti today.

Check out The Roots’ “Birthday Girl” video featuring adult entertainer Sasha Grey (but with no adult entertainment).

Ian says: “Video is garbage – the unofficial one from a while back is KILLIN’ this.”

Cosign that to the fullest. If you missed it, here’s the unofficial one from a while back.

The Roots – Rising Up

Featuring D.C. whiz kid Wale and Def Jam songbird Chrisette Michele.

Definitely better than “Birthday Girl,” but I don’t know if it’ll work as a single.
