If you had to pick ONE person to sing into the same microphone as Paul McCartney, besides yourself, I feel pretty good about Alabama Shakes’ Brittany Howard. What a voice! The first time I saw her live I just kept saying, “THIS IS CHURCH!” over and over. Even though the people around me were annoyed, I think they felt the same way.

Paul brought her out as a surprise during his Lolla headlining set and I’d be willing to bet, she has been doing this victory dance since Friday night.

You have to wonder if it’s even worth her going on after this?? What else is there to do??

Sing while riding a Great White Shark? or maybe put on a show at Atlantis?? (btw the REAL fictional island Atlantis, not the resort…)

Other than that, I got nuthin’.

Indian rapper Sofia Ashraf put a new twist on “Anaconda” to draw your attention to a mercury spill at a Unilever thermometer factory in Kodaikanal, India.

Sofia says that is the reason so many people in Kodaikanal are sick and the company refuses to take accountability. You can read about it here.

Whether or not you agree with the accusations I think we can agree that Sofia’s rap skillz are pretty impressive and if western rappers were smart, they would hire her backup dancers. ADORABLE.

The crappy thing is, if Lionel Richie were stalking you, following you, singing “Hello” everywhere you went, calling you in a sleeveless button down, no one would believe you.

“I’M TELLING YOU LIONEL RICHIE CAME TO MY DANCE CLASS YESTERDAY.”

Can you imagine getting the phone call that you were going on tour as one of her dancers?? Let’s daydream about that today 🙂

…BECAUSE SECRETLY INSIDE WE WISH WE WERE A DANCEAHHHH.

According to Mashable, people with obviously way more money than you or I have been betting on who will do the new theme song for Spectre, due to hit theaters in November. I don’t know much about bookies, (I tend to gamble on life more than money) but these guys say these are the odds.

Sam Smith 6/4
Adele 2/1
Ed Sheeran 8/1
Ellie Goulding 9/1
Kanye West 20/1

…or were anyway. UK “Bookmakers” William Hill stopped the betting because someone tried to place $23k on Radiohead…yes, 23 thousand dollars.

Ellie Goulding seems to be the most likely given all the hints she’s been droppin’ lately. If they are in fact hints. She tweeted “live and let die” a while back and posted this shot. You can read the significance here.

That’s a wrap!

I’m fine with Ellie, but I think I’d like Radiohead more…now that I’m thinking about it I’d like to hear what FKA Twigs or Janelle Monae could bring to a Bond theme song. I’ll like a Soul Bond over Pop Bond…blame View To A Kill  :/

Who would you like to hear??
