Happy Kate Bush Day! What did you get me? A remastered deluxe edition of The Dreaming? You shouldn't have! (But really, someone should.) In just a few hours, the real elusive chanteuse, singer/songwriter/producer/interpretive dancer/small boy/occasional bat Kate Bush will play the first show of her 22-night residency in London's Hammersmith Apollo in a production titled Before the Dawn. These will be her first proper concerts in about 35 years. What will she play?! (Will she play "Suspended in Gaffa?" She better play "Suspended in Gaffa.") How will she move? Will there be banter? Will there be monsters? This is so exciting.

Today sees the release of Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors, the second proper solo album from OutKast's Big Boi. Its strength is its sonic adventurousness — in addition to the Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik you'd expect, there are forays into rock (guest appearances include Wavves and Phantogram), Princely Linn pop, balladry, weird atmospheric shit and, in the case of the track above, cosmic disco (or, at least, as close to a commercial rapper has ever come to the subgenre). The implicit showing off — Big Boi is so good, he can span genres without a stumble — hits harder than any stated boast. This is a subtle and persuasive new chapter for brag rap.

Kate Bush and Big Boi are well on their way to becoming BFFs. Which one are you more jealous of?

Big Boi on Andre 3000's absence from his upcoming album: "He said he had to do some Gillette shit. No for real."

This Prince/Roger Troutman salute from two people who are steadily leaving the shadows of their former group associations has been circulating for about a week, but it's finally commercially available. Everyone is doing their job really well on it!

Big Boi suggests that he may collaborate with Kate Bush. Wow uh wow uh wow uh wow. Unbelievable!

Atlanta rapper Big Boi—one half of Outkast along with André 3000, and star of one of the great episodes of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit—was arrested in Miami on Sunday on drug possession charges. Rappers, right? Always with ecstasy and viagra-fueled cruises!

Time for my first cigarette! Please rock the following jam on repeat until we return in like, ten minutes, which really is probably 30 minutes for you. 2009 had some pretty great #chairdancing songs. This is 2010's first great one.
