In Case You Missed It: Saturday Night Live


Sleigh Bells appeared on Saturday Night Live this past Saturday to perform "Comeback Kid" and "End of the Line." The tracks come from the band's sophomore album, Reign of Terror (in stores this Tuesday). The musical greatness did not just end with Sleigh Bells. In one sketch, SNL humorously welcomed Jay-Z and Beyonce's daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, with visits from Prince, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Taylor Swift, and Nicki Minaj stopping by to see the baby. In a scene stealing moment, Justin Timberlake appears as Justin Vernon of Bon Iver  which, alone, is worth watching the clip for.

Prodigy Remixes 99 Problems

To state that I am not a big fan of Jay-Z would be the biggest understatement ever made. All the same, there are a handful of Jay-Z songs that I genuinely enjoy and "99 Problems" is at the top of that list. There is just something about the lyrics of the song that makes it such a great song as proven by the remixes of the track as well Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park tackling the song during their brief mash-up release with Jay-Z (Collision Course). Thanks to Prodigy's Liam Howlett, one more remix can be added to the lot. Check the Prodigy mastermind's awesome take of the Jay-Z/Rick Rubin collaborative classic.
