** Hercules and Love Affair's new album Blue Songs has Enya pan flutes and more gay drama than Black Swan.

** Wiz Khalifa made his television debut and announced the release date of his new album Rolling Papers. Domo Genesis got bummed but not too bummed.

** Mike Skinner struggled, but then finally released his Cyberspace and Bluesmixtape. It includes his "final ever recorded rap."

** Ducktails had a cold, played us some songs in his kitchen anyway!

** We introduced Angel Haze, a quick-spitting lady guru for our new world.

** The Game released his Purp and Patron double mixtape.

** We replayed the opening skit of Minaj's epic "Moment 4 Life" video a million times, then wondered how much she's like Loretta Lynn.
