God, I can’t seem to stray away from her! Worry not, friends…I’m still no fan.

Instead, this is up-and-comer R00K‘s cover of Katy Perry‘s “I Kissed A Girl.” The rendition provides a nice, grungy touch of girly-man grit to the otherwise girly-girl affair. It’s a love or hate sort of deal.

As for me? I’m into it!

Hol-uh-day-ee! Cel-uh-bray-eete! Today is my birthday!

Rejoice bitches, because it’s a celebration. And nothing could have started my day off better than a personalized birthday wish e-mail from none other than the ladies of The Aloud.

Alright, so it doesn’t appear to have been written especially for me.

LAY OFF.

In the meantime, enjoy my mishmash of random findings within my inbox! I’ve not listened to most of it (excluding the first!), but I guarantee a majority of it is probably quite nice. Additionally, the last download is a mixtape from the ever reliable Club Clique, this time a celebration of all things ’08. Click “Read More…” for the full tracklisting below!
