Bob Dylan wears sunglasses at White House
Politico: “The singer wore aviator sunglasses to accept the Medal of Freedom from President Obama who praised him for his career accomplishments.
‘There is not a bigger giant in the history of American music,’ Obama said, adding that he’s ‘a really big fan’ of Dylan.”

Lupe Fiasco - Around My Way (Freedom Ain’t Free)
Lupe’s new single from his highly anticipated (at least here) new full length “Food and Liquor 2: The Great American Rap Album.” I’m already addicted to this song. The horns and the beat are both silky smooth and Lupe rips it apart as only he can. And as always, it’s some of the most socially conscious hip hop around. This man’s a genius in my book. He can do no wrong musically.
Kickass Cover of the Day: If you listen to one cover of Gotye’s chart-topper “Somebody That I Used To Know” today (other than this one, this one, this one, this one, or this one), make it fun.’s lovely rendition of the song for BBC Radio One, with Paramore’s Hayley Williams singing the Kimbra part.
Ironically, all these covers of “Somebody” have elevated the song to the number one spot on the iTunes charts, displacing fun.’s big hit, “We Are Young.”

Video of that cover I mentioned yesterday. They’re too talented.
