…Meanwhile, other normal things were happening in the world, like Pharrell Williams playing the drums for last night’s Oscar telecast and The Muppets and Bret McKenzie from Flight of the Concords winning Best Original Song for Man or Muppet.

This Week’s Playlist Leap Ear ======================
Hip
Smiler ft. Lana Del Rey - Spender This track is definitely my favorite of the week and LDRs vocals on the hook don’t hurt.
G-Eazy ft. Dominique LeJeune - Marilyn
TiDUS - The Age slow and mellow, but give it a few listens and it catches on
Kid Cudi - Dose of Dopeness
Chiddy Bang - Zeros
Odd Future - Rella
Nicki Minaj ft. Lil Wayne - Roman Reloaded
Hodgy Beats - If Heaven is a Ghetto
Hip Hop
Chiddy Bang - By Your Side
Jin - Nick of Time new song from Jin about some dude named Jeremy Lin. You heard of him?
Phonte - The Good Fight
Hi-Rez ft. Kyle B - Music In Me
Domo Genesis ft Wiz Khalifa - Ground Up Does this intro remind anyone else of Zelda?
Curren$y - Pay Attention
Meek Mill ft. Rick Ross - Erday Definitely one of the most intelligent songs I’ve ever heard. I mean, Meek Mill was a Rhodes Scholar, right?
Alright, this is a pretty healthy playlist this week. Consider it a holiday bonus. And if you’re really hard up on time-wasters, check out these dubstep Christmas lights.
I can’t decide whether this is the best or worst thing I’ve ever heard, but some housemates of mine can’t stop listening to the joint from Buckwheat and Porky…those two kids from The Little Rascals. Also, here’s something to get you in the mood for the holiday flight home:
================ This Week’s Playlist Baker’s Dozen ================
Hip Heezy Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa ft. Juicy J - Smokin’ On
Since Arcade Fire won Best Album last year, it seems like the Grammys actually matter. Bon Iver’s gotten four nominations and, ahem, Skrillex has three nominations (not sure if I think that’s awesome, funny, or both). I got bets on Adele’s 21 for Album of the Year.
Finally, before the playlist, I just wanted to share a tweet I stumbled upon regarding Drake’s latest album Take Care. It sums up my sentiments pretty well: “I’m about to put Drake’s Take Care in the dryer so that my clothes can come out softer.”
