Friday Random Ten

Since we’ve done a little fall cleaning around here, we figured this is as good a time as any to come up with a list of songs celebrating the spirit of change and novelty and newness.

You might even say we’re beyond cutting edge.

Without any further ado:

1. Brand Nu by Sista (Brokey)

2. Newness by Musiq SoulChild (Belleisa)

3. Brand New Colony by Postal Service (Shani-o)

4. How You Like Me New by Kool Moe Dee (Blackink)

5. I Feel Pretty from “West Side Story” (Quadmoniker)

6. Some Kind of Wonderful by Talib Kweli (Belleisa)

7. New by No Doubt (Brokey)

8. Welcome Back Home by The Dramatics (Blackink)

9. So Fresh, So Clean by Outkast (Brokey)

10. Golden by Jill Scott (Belleisa)

Is brokey, our resident R&B expert, the only person left who remembers Sista? I mean, really. That’s putting the “random” in the Random Ten. With a bullet.

And before we close out, I’d be remiss not to mention that blogmate slb is celebrating a birthday today. So please wish her ponies and unicorns and rainbows and the whole nine?

Until then, have a great weekend.

  • Thanks for that. Haven’t listened to Jill Scott in awhile and really enjoyed it. Am on my last of 38 short papers to grade and cannot wait to get up from this chair!!

  • I remember Sista! I used to love this joint. Couldn’t find the cassingle in my small hometown though. :( I would have worn the tape out if I had!

  • Grump

    KMD’s back up dancers NEVER get old!!!!!

  • Missy Elliot looks exactly the same in Sista as she does now.
