Music Monday 155 :: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis "Thrift Shop" f/Wanz

Music Monday 155 :: Mackelmore & Ryan Lewis "Thrift Shop"

Why am I just hearing this song and seeing this video? B/c I'm somewhat off my game. Smh. It's true. I can tell you honestly that I listen to Lenny Kravitz's "It Ain't Over 'til It's Over" (1991) several times a week; Public Enemy's "Fight the Power" (1989) is also in heavy rotation. The theme here is that I'm not listening to a lot of new music. But for no good reason. I'm not that person who thinks today's music is crap. I'm just ... doing other things.

Meanwhile, nearly a year after this song's release, I'm enjoying it like it's new. Word.

Watch out ... there's a good dose of profanity in there, but that beat is banging!

Music Monday 151 :: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' "Same Love" f/Mary Lambert

It's been a while since I've posted a Music Monday post; and for no good reason. Just forgetful. Not that I forget Mondays, but that the days goes by and I forget to churn one out for you.

I learned about Macklemore & Ryan Lewis when I was recently watching an episode of The Colbert Report. It was, obviously, a humorous segment.

Then the performance was just perfect: nice slow start w/the piano, poignant lyrics and the vocals by Mary Lambert just seal the deal.

Enjoy.
