Anyone else think that Polow Da Don might be have the best year for a producer in '07? Read his interview with Complex Magazine here. You have to love this quote about Jay-Z.
I got this record for Jay Z that would make him the coolest guy around. I really thought long and hard about it, like, "How do we make Jay Z cool?" Because the problem he's having is, he's not cool. Jim Jones took his coolness away. The only people who think Jay Z is cool right now are, like, you know, 35 and older, and hate current music. People who are current think Jay Z has lost it and he wears thong-toe sandals. So no matter how cool he wanna make that, kids aren't gonna go for it
How correct Palow is..

The creator and fellow Grindin' member callmeMikey has now unleashed CallMeClassical. This gives me the ideal swagger jack, how about a Still Listen to Easy Listening Music?

In an effort to make this post this morning even more random, vote for the "New" seven wonders of the world.

And finally for some Britney Spears news you might not have known, Idolator has a very interesting article today linking Britney Spears to George Bush.
