This may be a first for the Black Cab Sessions...a performance in the back of the cab, without instruments.
Of course, you can pull that off in the rap genre, and The Cool Kids do that impressively for "Freestyles."
Use a car door and your mouth, and you've got a gem that's worth a look.

A new favorite has emerged for the British Mercury Music Prize honoring Album of the Year, and it's no longer Radiohead's In Rainbows.
It looks like Burial, the secretive underground dub producer has taken over the lead given out by odds-makers, which is kind of ironic-as Burial has been rumored to be Thom Yorke of Radiohead.
So it's a win win?

After publicly stating she wanted to work with White, Keys now gets her wish.

Can garage rock with R&B piano mix? We will have to see.
Mike Skinner is back with a new taste off the forthcoming Streets record.
The track is called "The Escapist" where Skinner walks all over some unknown city without shoes on.
Good luck on that athletes foot there buddy.
Get tough actin' Tanactin.
If you have Radiohead's In Rainbows record, one of the highlights is the track "Reckoner."
Obviously, the Gnarls Barkley duo agrees, as they've been tossing it out there on several dates of their current tour.
Cee-lo puts all of his soul shine into the track.

The Killers have announced their return with their new record coming in November, while currently holed up in their Las Vegas studio trying to finish it, according to reports.
Good luck focusing in Vegas. If they can do that and make just a few decent tracks on the album, then they deserve the Medal Of Honor, the Pulitzer and a few Grammy's all at once.
Bob Dylan is planning on releasing a double album called Tell Tail Signs, featuring previously unreleased and rare material in October.
