I Need A Dollar
Aloe Blacc
As well as being a sharp dresser Aloe Blacc is a soul singer and rapper, and the first single from Good Things, “I Need A Dollar,” is one of the best songs you will hear this year, irresistibly catchy and well-orchestrated. The rest of the album is good too, comfortable and engaging soul/ R & B, right at home on Stone’s Throw Records. I guess Blacc plays the piano too; I stumbled into a video of him singing “A Change Is Going to Come” a couple of months ago. I can’t really see anyone not liking this album; you should definitely give it a shot.
Hottest Student Bodies
Hottest Student Bodies
16. Central Florida
Last Years Ranking: 27
I think this year we’ve gotten just about every major Florida university, and this is Florida’s largest, and the third largest in the country. So it has everything we look for, perfect weather, massive student body, only really lacks in quality sports entertaiment, but I think the positives more than make up for that.

Gators were #3 too.
Mirrors
Crocodiles
Crocodiles play shoe-gazey psych-rock. It’s nothing crazily original but still pretty satisfying. It seems to me a great fall album, one that will resonate soundly when listened to surrounded by jack ‘o’ lanterns and falling leaves, wherever you may be.
“Opener “Mirrors” unfurls slowly, gracefully notching up the racket before sliding into its monstrous verses.” - Pitchfork.com
