I'm a huge fan of crossover music, be it Rap/Rock/R&B/Symphony, etc... This is the latest in my sojourns into the crossover world.Colleen sent me a CD randomly one day, music from the East Village Opera Company. And I LOVED it.

God Made Me Funky

If you havnt had the opportunity, check this track. My (somewhat) hatred of Kanye , and my nonunderstanding (is that even a word) of most of Nas' work don't seem to stop my enjoyment of this song. Great beat, and these Hip-Hop heavyweights do it right.

More of the House mixes, with this popular mix of The Killers single Mr. Brightside. It took me almost half a year to find this track, but I've been playing it ever since.

Artist:
Well, this is the song that got me going on my current House music kick. Heard it one night at Alfie's. I went and asked the DJ what song it was, and he wrote it down for me.
