Comment: 1 thru 7 were played at the VMAs on Sunday night and # 1 was a song I was least conceived of on Kweezy’s latest album, now revealed as another flat out masterpiece. “Kiss You” is a much better song than “Best Song Ever” (just saying in passing), While I was at the VMAs, the Replacements were reuniting in Toronto. And as for Ty? I have a tix to his sold out Bowery Ballroom gig on Friday.
