[music] Murs & 9th Wonder - Fornever

"This dynamic duo first linked in 2004, when 9th Wonder’s name was buzzing – thanks to lacing beats for Jay-Z and Destiny’s Child – and Murs was establishing himself as one of indie hip-hop’s most charismatic, hardworking MCs. For the pair’s third album, Fornever, the gents stick to their successful formula: 9th concocts biscuits bubbling with buttery soul samples, while Murs spreads his conversational flow effortlessly. The title track features Snoop’s partner Kurupt and finds Murs bragging about his style: a mix between Tookie Williams and Shakespeare." -- iTunes Store

[video] The Hills - Sneak Peek

"In the final season of The Hills — Kristin, Audrina and Heidi learn that the people they love the most can be the hardest to hold on to.

Kristin has made some enemies in LA, but now that her summer romance with Justin is fading, she wants to make friends. But when Kristin ditches the girls in Miami, rumors about her partying and late nights surface. Luckily, she's got her friend Brody to stand by her.

She never really let Brody off the hook, and now they're both single — and before they know it they go from friends, to friends with benefits. But Brody isn't looking to settle down, and soon he meets a new girl. That means Kristin taking a backseat, and that means trouble for everyone. And in a city full of women that he's conquered, Brody may also have his eye on someone he's never been able to get a hold of — Audrina.

Audrina finds a fresh start and a true shot at happiness when she starts dating her old friend, Ryan Cabrera. Ryan is everything that Justin isn't — and he's ready to commit. But no matter how many times she swears him off, Justin is never really out of Audrina's life. Seeing Justin playing with his band makes her wonder if Ryan is the man she really wants.

No one has changed more than Heidi. Because of her cosmetic surgeries, Heidi has to endure the disapproval of her mother and friends. As bad as that seems, what comes next for her is even harder. A year into their marriage, Spencer is more distant from his family and friends than ever before. After years of fighting for him and their relationship, Heidi has to decide if she's ready to stand by him — for better or worse.

The Hills may be coming to an end, but it's not over until it's over. The end is just beginning.

[music] Caribou - Odessa

"Caribou is the stage name of one-man-band Dan Snaith. His eclectic, psychedelic electronica often walks the line between disoriented euphoria and calculated chaos — befitting of a man who holds a PhD. in mathematics. Odessa is the lead track on his new album, Swim — it’s an exquisite mix of danceable indie-pop and disco-tinged funk, reminiscent of the effervescent jams 99 Records was releasing by ESG and Liquid Liquid in the early ‘80s. Despite the awesome (and minimal) use of triangle, this is no tongue-and-cheek ditty – amidst the sunny sounds are lyrics hinting at a love-gone-wrong story that would make Hemingway proud." -- iTunes Store

"Justified is the story of Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant), a true-blue hero and something of a throwback, given to wearing a Stetson and cowboy boots, carrying his sidearm in a hip holster — a weapon he only draws when he has to, and when he does, he shoots to kill, because, as he sees it, that's the purpose of a gun. The character of Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens was created by America's pre-eminent crime novelist, Elmore Leonard (Get Shorty, Out of Sight), and is played by Timothy Olyphant (Deadwood, Live Free or Die Hard). The Chief Deputy of the Lexington USMS office is Art Mullen, played by Nick Searcy (Cast Away, From the Earth to the Moon). Working alongside Raylan are fellow deputies Tim Gutterson, played by Jacob Pitts (The Pacific), and Rachel Brooks, played by Erica Tazel (Life, The Office). Raylan, Art, and the other deputies do what all U.S. Marshals do — chase down fugitives, protect witnesses, transport prisoners." -- iTunes Store

[video] 9 By Design - This Old House

"Meet husband and wife design team Bob and Cortney Novogratz, owners of the NYC based design firm, Sixx Design, and stars of Bravo's newest docu-series "9 by Design." For more than a decade, this young, hip and artsy couple have developed and designed unique properties in Manhattan, rebuilt entire blocks in the city, and turned funky into fabulous with taste and confidence. In any given week, the duo face daunting construction challenges against rapidly ticking clocks, create sumptuous spaces from wrecks and empty lots, and then decorate the spaces with rare and inspiring collectables. The series follows the couple over the course of six months, during which they work on six large-scale design projects including a 24-room hotel on the New Jersey Shore called The Bungalow Hotel, a 10,000 square foot glass house on Manhattan's West Side Highway and a home conversion of a gun shop located on the edge of Soho. Both hailing from large Southern families, Bob and Cortney shared the desire to have a lot of kids and are parents to seven children – Wolfgang, 12, twins Bellamy and Tallulah, 10, Breaker, 8, twins Five and Holleder, 4. At the close of the premiere episode, Cortney goes into labor with the newest addition to the family, a son, Major.

The laidback tune tackles love from several angles, even treating it as a living, breathing person on the second verse. It’s a relatively sparse song that feels especially full and rich thanks to vocalist Joel Parisien’s plucky keyboard playing and a gospel choir that soars toward the end. Plus, the instantly familiar chorus reminds us of Colbie Caillat’s beyond-infectious “Bubbly.”" -- iTunes Store

"The highly anticipated first season of Glee follows an optimistic high school teacher, Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison), as he tries to refuel his own passion while reinventing the high school’s glee club and challenging a group of outcasts to realize their star potential. It’s not an easy task when the pitch-imperfect club includes Mercedes (Amber Riley), a forceful diva-in-training; Artie (Kevin McHale), a geeky guitarist; Kurt (Chris Colfer), a dramatic soprano; Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz), a punk rocker; and self-proclaimed “star” Rachel (Lea Michele), a perfectionist firecracker. McKinley’s cruel high school caste system prevents the glee club from flourishing, so Will recruits Finn (Cory Monteith), the quarterback with movie star looks, to join the group even though he wants to protect his reputation with his holier-than-thou girlfriend, Quinn (Dianna Agron), and his arrogant teammate, Puck (Mark Salling). With harsh criticism from everyone, including Will’s tough-as-nails wife Terri (Jessalyn Gilsig) and McKinley’s egotistical cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch), he is determined to prove them all wrong and lead the glee club to the greatest competition of them all: Nationals." -- iTunes Store

A showdown of two of the NHL's top superstars has surely lived up to the hype. In Game 2, Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby would match each other with hat tricks, but in the end the Washington Capitals had a 4-3 win over the Pittsburg Penguins. Crosby scored his first goal in the first period on a power play, and Ovechkin scored his first early in the second period to tie the game at 1. Crosby's second goal of the night midway through the second resotred Pittsburgh's one goal lead, until David Steckel tied the game less than five minutes later. The third period belonged to Ovechkin, as he struck again with a power-play goal midway through the period, and completed his hat trick less than three minutes later to give the Capitals a 4-2 lead. Not to be outdone, Crosby recorded his hat trick with a power-play goal with 30 seconds left. Unfortunately, that's all the offense the Penguins could muster, and the Capitals skated away with a thrilling 4-3 victory.
