[ January 17, 2009 to January 19, 2009. ] One more week, and I will be back in my second of home of Washington DC (Atlanta is my first).

And now no more lime beer after taste (even though it was cool that Bud used Santogold for their ad campaign). (via Analog Giant)

Check it, Santogold’s favorite MC is Lil Wayne. Think about that collaboration: Santogold & Lil Wayne. That would [...]

As some of you may know (unless you been under a rock), that Santogold genre-bending album comes out this Tuesday. We have been playing her on our show since February of 2007. She is in our top albums of 2008. Honestly, I have not seen so much buzz and high praise for [...]
