If the idea of CeeLo and The Muppets together in a Holiday video freaks you out then you need to check yourself. This is about the best way to ring in the season than I can imagine. Now if you will excuse me, I’m going to watch it again.
Welcome To Dubstep Roundup Vol. 32What up my TBE peeps? Â Its been long overdue, I know. Â The Reason: As some of you know I’ve been working on several other projects. Â Mainly, Lights & Music Entertainment;Â a Music Blog / Concert & Event Production Series. Â Â Does this mean I’m done with TBE? Â Nope, but most of my time will be spent building content for my own blog. Â Don’t worry, my Remix & Dubstep Roundups are alive and well over there. Â In fact, they are about to be better than ever.
I truly hope you have your bowels in check for this shit, because its about to get Nurdy as all get-up.
Frankly, its not safe in here.

♫ Bruno Mars – Just The Way You Are
Look, I get it. You hear a song too much on the radio and it’s ruined. You hate it. I get that. But the thing is that while overplay of “Just The Way You Are” may have you hating Bruno Mars, there are others of us out there. Others like me who had never heard the song until 2 weeks ago. Others who may never have heard it yet. This post is for us.
Chalk it up to being so buried in this blog or chalk it up to living in Europe, but I’m usually out of the loop when it comes to radio hits. So when I read about some guy I’d never heard of being nominated for 9 Grammys I figured I’d better check him out. Enter piano man Bruno Mars and his debut LP Doo Wops & Hooligans. This lean 10 song collection had me floored from the first listen. Something about both Mars’ production and voice is so simple and streamlined that it’s endearing. Not a lot of over-production here. And the simple lyrics are instantly relatable. It’s how pop music is supposed to be done. The formula for success on “Just The Way You Are” (above) is simple: crisp and funky beat, delicate piano line, and Bruno’s pipes dropping some saccharine loving on his girl. That’s it! Clean, simple, and beautiful. That’s the way of Bruno Mars. Sure, the majority of these tracks are sappy love songs sung directly to the girl but that’s part of his charm. He’s a simple guy in love with a girl and he just wants to sing about it. It’s a story as old as time and I can get down with that.
♫ Bruno Mars – The Other Side (ft Cee Lo Green & B.O.B.)
Other album highlights are “Grenade,” “Runaway Baby,” “Marry Me,” and “Talking To The Moon,” but album closer “The Other Side” wraps the whole thing up nicely. Cee-Lo and B.o.B jump in to help Bruno kick things up a bit and send us off in style. And that’s when I start the album over again.
This year saw quite a few bands taking cracks at covers of songs both new and old. From bare bones beautiful interpretations of The Smashing Pumpkins, Miike Snow, and LCD Soundsystem to full on genre flipping of Jay-Z and Justice, to a different blend of herbs and spices on Band of Horses and Beyoncé, it’s clear that there is no magic formula to a great cover. These are the one’s I loved the most this past year. You?
10. ♫ ceo – Halo (Beyoncé Cover)
Ok, its NYE and you know we’re getting bonkers as hell… and we want you to party with us. Lets do it through your speakers. As you know, we have a hobby of getting Nurdy and NYE is just one of those special nights that gives us the excuse to get ridiculous… So, in the effort to turn the page on 2010 and make 11 epic, we’re giving you a two roundups. Below, we have compiled one of the Nurdiest Remix Roundups to date.
We, Joel & Scott are proud to present Remix Roundup Vol. 35…Â Just in time for your Friday bitches.

♫ Steed Lord- Bed Of Needles (SonicC Remix)
♫ Cee Lo Green – No One’s Gonna Love You (Produced By Paul Epworth)
After the beautiful “Georgia” I was highly anticipating Cee-Lo’s The Lady Killer but then “Fuck You” came along and internet fervor aside, just didn’t grab me as a song. I was worried. Turns out that I had fair reason to be as The Lady Killer doesn’t live up to what we might expect from this vocal legend. It’s certainly a pleasant listen, easily described with that back-handed compliment “nice.” It’s all super slick and inoffensive production and sure, the album is still slowly growing on me, but none of the songs reach out and demand repeat listens. Well, none except for his cover of Band Of Horses’ “No One’s Gonna Love You.” It’s been around since before “Fuck You” blew up and it really deserves all the attention that the expletive laden single got. On an album that sometimes seems more like a showcase for the revolving cast of producers, the brilliant work of Paul Epworth meshes perfectly with Green’s silky heartache. The song is both incredibly moving and infectious, a beautifully dangerous combination in these wintery and introspective times.
Two other tracks I have been digging more and more are “I Want You” and “Fool For You,” each one standing out a bit from the pack. Another recent worthwhile Cee-Lo jam is his contribution to the latest Twilight soundtrack, the rollin’ and bouncin’ whistle-fest “What Part of Forever.”
♫ Cee-Lo Green – What Part of Forever (non-album track)
So I still love me some Cee-Lo but I was hoping for more from The Lady Killer. Oh well, a few stellar tracks is never something to scoff at.
