Song Suggestion P.S. Dave is in love with “Carousel” by Laura Izibor, and thinks someone should cover it a cappella.

Spit Loud Christopher accepts that Bjork is a freak show, but when she brings in beatboxers like Japan’s Dokaka and Rahzel from the Roots, the result is muy intriguing.

Did You Know? Catherine Lewis is back with another behind-the-scenes look at a famous song. Today’s story involves U2‘s “Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For,” Casey Casem, and sample band Negativland.  Christopher is intrigued by Negativland’s unique style, and Dave just wants to keep talking about copyright and trademark law.

Album Review If their latest album Do Not Disturb is any indication, OSU Outspoken has arrived. Dave praises the group’s restraint and loves dancing along, while Christopher calls Outspoken a role model for younger groups. Both make it a pick for a 2011 Best Male Collegiate Album CARA nom.
