Montreal’s Tiga is one complex guy – who else can cover Nelly’s “Hot In Herre” and remix LCD Soundystem with equal sincerity? Tiga has been surprising listeners for nearly a decade, presenting absurd covers alongside collaborations with techno heavy hitters like Jesper Dahlbäck. His debut album, Sexor in 2006, managed to continue the tradition, winning the Juno award and in the same breath, garnering reviews that noted, “To fully appreciate Tiga’s Sexor you inevitably need to possess a good sense of humour.” Now three years later, Tiga is releasing sophomore effort Ciao! and in the process, showcasing a more sophisticated side. Has Tiga grown up? Avid fans can breathe easy. Although Ciao! traverses between the elegant and the rough and tumble, he still injects a wonderful tilt of humor that lets you know it’s just music after all. Here, Tiga …
Let’s assume that the rhymes on both these releases are better then that title. Although, these guys are getting kind of old. Tracklists for Method Man & Redman’s Blackout 2 (see relatively uninspired, but newly leaked, cover art above) and Eminem’s much balleyhooed Relapse can be found on the flip, thanks to the investigation skills of NahRight and affiliates, beginning with Blackout 2:

TIGA to have surfaced recently following ‘Shoes.’ CIAO! TIGA is due out Apr 20th.
OK, not really Seth Rogen. It’s DJ Jason Smith on the 1 and 2s at the MTV Youth Inaugural Ball last Tuesday. (Though am I the only one who thinks that Pete Wentz looks like Paul Rudd in this pic?) I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that Smith is probably the only DJ to tour with both Rascal Flatts and Fatman Scoop. Word on the Street is that when Obama rolled up to the ball, he rocked out to Smith’s set including Beyonce’s ‘Single Ladies’ (No surprise for our R&B-loving prez) and Stevie Winwood’s ‘Higher Love’ (Really, Obama? Really? Do you genuinely like 80s blue-eyed LITE-FM pop or are you our first ironic hipster president? This demands an investigation.) Regardless, for more on Mr. Smith, check out his …
From Tom Jenkins: “The overall concept of this video revolves around images of imaginary astronomical phenomena. I selected a method which I anticipated would be appropriate to the construction of “scaleless” objects, such that one could imagine them occupying planetary sized volumes of space.
