Someone Still Loves You, Boris Yeltsin Catches Baseball Fever
Someone Still Loves You, Boris Yeltsin writes 'Cardinal Rules' for local baseball team.
Someone Still Loves You, Boris Yeltsin apparently loves baseball as much as they love the former Russian Federation President. “Cardinal Rules” is an anthem written by SSLYBY in honor of their local minor league baseball team, the Springfield Cardinals.
The Missouri based Yeltsin wrote a pretty catchy tune here, and let’s hope this is the beginning of some indie rock Jock Jams compilation. Who wouldn’t want to hear Patrick Wolf cover “It Takes Two?”

The Seven Day Listen: Ol' Dirty Bastard
What happens when you only listen to Ol' Dirty Bastard for seven days?
Forcing yourself to listen to one album and one album only for an entire week is a pretty hard thing to do. I’m pretty positive I’ve listened to a single album for a week before, but I didn’t realize I was doing such a thing – and the two situations create an entirely different mentality in your head.

T.I. Drops New Mixtape; Video
T.I. is behind bars, but that doesn't mean you can't make new stuff.
It seems that T.I. is feeling like everyone has forgot who the greatest rapper in the South was since he went to prison. How long ago was that? Oh right, at the end of May. The man has only served slightly over a month of a year term and is already feeling forgotten...
