Skippin' Little Stones

Soz, longtime no update etc.

YOU MAY RECALL recently or not so recently I guess one of my entries was about WEEN and how they are unfairly preconcieved as a novelty duo! But this is wrong. Ween are quite different from Flight of the Conchords, see?

Well. This entry will follow a similar theme of discrimination- N*E*R*D. THEY ARE NOT ONLY A HIP HOP GROUP! I mean, sure, their first album is kinda like that but it is also my least favourite. They make a meeeean pop song. Look at Wonderful Place from their second effort, Fly or Die. The title track is also good!

Their new one follows this trend but rather than lose momentum in the second half (as I feel fly or die does) it's solid all the way through. So don't just dismiss N*E*R*D as mindless rap music. They make rad tunes, yo. You Know What is funky. It is my favourite.

LISTEN.

N*E*R*D - You Know What
N*E*R*D - Spaz
N*E*R*D - Love Bomb
