Aziz Ansari’s New Comedy Album Hits The Mark

Amazon MP3 sent out a tweet on Monday offering Aziz Ansari’s new comedy album a day early, and for only $3.99. Since I’ve liked him in shows like Scrubs and Parks & Recreation, I decided I would give it a try. I’m very glad I did.

He covers several topics from domestic goods to his younger cousins to Kanye West. I particularly loved his story about how he messes with his 14 year old cousin on Facebook. This will end up on heavy rotation, along with my John Pinette and Lewis Black albums. I highly recommend it.

Vampire Weekend’s New Album: Contra

I love Vampire Weekend’s new album, Contra. I was able to get in on Amazon MP3′s $3.99 special on Monday. I would have paid more than that for this album. Of course, many will compare it to Paul Simon’s Graceland. However it is it’s own distinct album. Rolling Stone had a great review of Contra.

To celebrate the release, they performed some of the new songs in Los Angeles. My favorite song is Giving Up The Gun, and they performed it at the Music Box in L.A.
