Anyone in the singles market?

So, it recently came to my attention that two women have advocated themselves in a recent breakup, and a husband search.

First, a breakup many will be excited about; even though I think this person is very nice and so is her filmmaker husband as well:

That's right! Jenna Fischer, fresh off the hotness that is The Office, has just recently announced on her and her ex-husband's myspace page that they have officially separated. I'm sure they were in good spirits and wish them all the best. At the same time, ain't Jenna Fischer fine? Either way, go wish her and the ex the best of wishes, and who knows? Maybe you can get lucky? Don't even act like y'all don't be pimpin' on myspace either.

A second opportunity presented itself when I stumbled upon a Pitchfork interview:


M.I.A, who just released a stellar fuckin' album called "Kala," has cited in a interview with Pitchfork that she is in need to extend her visa for a year. So she asked the kind interviewer at Pitchfork that she needs a husband, so she can do some heavy touring in the states. Think you can hang? Go to M.I.A.'s MySpace page and make your thoughts known.

Hey, worth a shot right?

Short Album Reviews, in case you were wondering...

Swizz Beatz drops his 2nd album, "One Man Band" fueled by the hit "It's Me Bitches." On the plus side the CD is short and to the point, clocking in at a mere 40 minutes. His signature synth production is all over it, but we do see him get into bouts of sampling. For example, he quotes the chorus for the Wu-Tang Clan's "Cream" in "It's Me Bitches." However, we know Swizz ain't that much a rapper, he just has a knack for making a hit, and thankfully that's why this CD is pretty short and sweet.

M.I.A. returns with her 2nd album "Kala," which is largely void of producer Diplo, who plays more an A & R role for this release. This CD was largely produced by M.I.A. herself and Switch, until Timbaland chimes in on the very last track. Some of the stuff to look for on this CD is the song "Boyz" which has a very wonderfully shot video, the somewhat African tinged groove of "Hussel," featuring Afrikan Boy, and also the rooster cluck meets bagpipe filled sounds of "BirdFlu." You can't really box this CD in as one type of genre, and that's where this CD succeeds in. It's just good all around party jams tinged with lightly laden political and social stances.

Talib Kweli returns with his 3rd release, "Eardrum," which is laden with production from Madlib, Pete Rock, and several others. Fueled by "Listen!!!" other guests make appearances on there like Norah Jones, Kanye West, Roy Ayers, Justin Timberlake ("The Nature Of Things), KRS-One ("The Perfect Beat"). The change this go round finds Kweli doing a lot better than his last album, the short but haphazard album "The Beautiful Struggle." At 20 tracks clocking in around 60+ minutes, its a great whirlwind of lyricism and creativity. He will be performing a CD Release show on Friday at the Electric Fetus in Minneapolis, Minnesota. And on Saturday after Rock the Bells, he'll be doing a DJ and guest appearance at Foundation Nightclub.
