So I woke up this morning to some lovely news, The Dirty Projectors released a free digital 7″, Ascending Melody on their website. Tasty tunes from one of our faves, and for free! What are you waiting for?

Dipped in Dollars has been enjoying a week long feature on BreakThru Radio, where you can now listen to/download our “Anatomy of a Blogger” radio show. We picked a lot of our favorite songs of the year and weaved them together with Danger Dome/Chief interviews over Comanche beats. We tried to make it something you could thoroughly enjoy from start to finish. Tracks listed below for anyone interested. Check it out by clicking the Anatomy of a Blogger link on BreakThru’s program guide.

So I came across this tasty tidbit on Microphone Memory Emotion this past week. At first I couldn’t believe it, I didn’t even know Solange sang, though often I’m just slow like that, so it’s not saying much. While looking through photos I couldn’t believe how grown up she looked (hello sexy beach shot!), though we’re probably the same age. She was always just Beyoncé’s kid sis before, I suppose it’s about time she came into her own. Anyway, this song isn’t worlds away from the Dirty Projectors original, but is beautifully sung nonetheless. I think I am indeed more partial to the original, but I’m happy that one of my favorite songs of the year is transcending genres (and with a sick beat nonetheless!)
