As mentioned earlier this week, one of our own is embarking on a lifetime of marital bliss this weekend–and because we believe in doin’ it up big here at PB, when it comes to celebrating our own, we’re devoting this Friday’s Random Ten to wedding songs in blackink12’s honor.
Below, you’ll find an amalgam of tunes [...]

Apparently, hundreds of thousands of obnoxious and horny college students are about to converge on unsuspecting beach towns around the country to enjoy something regularly referred to as Spring Break.
I say it that way because it seems none of us here at PostBourgie ever enjoyed the kind of bacchanalia that lured our classmates to South [...]

It’s possible to do bad all by yourself, true. But things can really turn ugly when two or more people are involved.
Of course, this thought occurred to me as I watched news coverage of the – allegedly – bipartisan health care reform summit yesterday.
Well, to hell with bipartisanship. Sometimes, teamwork can screw things up. Don’t [...]

In case you missed it earlier today, Tiger Woods is so very sorry. Of course he is.
But that’s boring. What do you have to apologize for this weekend?
I’m going to apologize for admitting the remix to “O Let’s Do It” is not all that bad. Jamelle should apologize for speaking ill of pickles. This alpaca [...]

We are the World Haiti 25 — whose presence at the top of the singles chart is as damning a refutation of democracy’s plausibility as you’ll ever see — is so awful that it nearly prompted Jay Smooth to shutter his website.
Jon Pareles reviews the song, and notes the chasm in vocal ability between the [...]

For the single and sexless – because those terms can often be mutually exclusive - this weekend will probably be just like any other, mostly because you were smart enough to avoid being suckered into the Valentine’s Day industrial complex.
This deserves praise, not wilting roses or calorie-heavy chocolate kisses.
And this is your PostBourgie-approved soundtrack for [...]

Day 4 – and probably the final day – of J Dilla Appreciation Week.
Word to Slum Village, Dilla’s former group and a criminally slept-on hip-hop collective based out of Detroit:
It’s hard to put into words my appreciation for the music of Slum Village, particularly Dilla. I don’t want this post or this series to come [...]

Day 2 of J Dilla Appreciation Week. And Posdnuos murders his third verse:
Yo, it’s about love for cars, love for funds
Loving to love mad sex, loving to love guns
Love for opposite, love for fame and wealth
Love for the fact of no longer loving yourself …
Enjoy the rest:
A few years ago Kelley L. Carter, formerly of [...]

First, I should shout-out the dude on Urban Dictionary who already said this better than I can:
One of the greatest Mc’s of all time. I dont know what you fuckers are talkin about. You think you’re funny with your little acting jokes, but the truth is, if his acting were half as good as his [...]

We were a few days into February before I even remembered that it is Black History Month, and when I did my first thought was not of Malcolm, Martin or any other typical BHM icon, but Bob. The last time I “did” BHM was back in my undergrad days in Toronto and today the Black [...]

After Sunday, let us refrain from ending any words in “eaux” as in “geaux” for “go.” Let us refrain from casually slipping references to gumbo or voodoo or Cafe Du Monde into our conversations or prose. Let us refrain from engaging in any ridiculous hyperbole about how a team of professional athletes can and will [...]
