...Switched Up! (Sundays, 7 p.m. E.T.)--in which two people trade jobs each week--portrays the kind of working world we would live in if we all got the jobs we wanted when we were 7: a cheerleader swaps places with a cowgirl, a fire fighter with a DJ. But the episodes generally end on an amiable, grass-is-always-greener note, as when a surfer trades with a sitcom writer and concludes, "As a writer, I'd be sad knowing that there's a lot of cool stuff going on in the world, and I'm sitting there...
Recently, L.A.-based DJ Brian Burton (a.k.a. Danger Mouse) had an inspiration: Why not remix the vocals off JAY-Z'S 2003 Black Album with sampled tracks from the 1968 BEATLES' LP known as The White Album?

But in doing so, he cuts off their potential to groove, making his compositions as involuted and intricate as the best of Warp’s back catalogue...
...role of a club diva providing the vocal riffs and the real star being the skanking analog low-end. It’s the closest I’ve heard mainstream hip-hop get to house music, where minimal “jack tracks” work more like DJ tools than as complete pieces of music, and the human presence is fully mechanized in between pulses of the drum machine. Appropriately, Kelis sounds so bored in “Milkshake” she’s practically disembodied. It’s both mind-numbingly sterile and addictive, another...
