A Very Random Roundup

These tidbits are as unrelated as possible, except that they all are woven together by the common thread of Savannah, GA.

1) Big Boi (a Savannah native) told Billboard that his upcoming album Sir Lucius Leftfoot is going to finally drop at the beginning of next year. He's been leaking tracks for a while, including "Royal Flush" with Raekwon and Andre 3000 - which came out like 18 months ago, and features verses, the caliber of which haven't been seen from those three since that collabo on Aquemini.

2) If you need to get in the holiday spirit - swing over to Last Christmas - a blog dedicated to the frighteningly large number of covers of the George Michael/Wham! "Last Christmas" as interpreted by artists from all across the world. How's that Savannah-related? It's run by two former SCAD students...

3) Savannah Metal meisters Baroness are killing it. The Blue Record is incredible and Decibel just named it one of their albums of the year for 2009. Nicely done. Too bad the Grammys are a sham and nominated Metallica.
