The Weekly(?) Playlist

Yeah, It’s been awhile. But the playlist is back. At least for now. Enjoy.

Unfortunately, the audio is live and not so clear audio, but it’s Bon Iver covering Björk’s “Who Is It (Carry My Joy On The Left, Carry My Pain On The Right)”!!!

So I didn’t know until they were dropped that Foxy Brown was facing charges for violating a court order because she allegedly mooned her neighbor. However, my favorite part of the whole thing is this:
