You can still touch my knob, it's free

I need a life. I got a new computer. The other one was 6 years old and I had to delete music files all the time as nothing would fit in the 30 GB hard drive. The new one has 120 GB, except because I've got so many remixes, I've only got 30 GB of space left. eek.

Despite releasing an album this year, Timbaland's output this year is quite rubbish when compared to his 2006 work, and sounds boring compared when put next to Polow Da Don. In one (foul) fell swoop, the horrible "Give It To Me" undid all the fine work on Loose and FutureSex/LoveSounds. Luckily, "The Way I Are" is all kinds of awesome. Hip-hop can always do with more techno beats and synths, but the best thing about it is the lovely Keri Hilson. I giggle every time I hear her sing "you can still touch my knob, it's free." Keri Hilson has a knob! haha! Not the real words sadly.

So onto the remixes. There are so many. The French version is crap. The OneRepublic remix is quite gorgeous in the Coldplay-influenced way that "I Think She Knows" and "All Good Things (Come To An End)" were. My favourite is The Icons Remix that loops Keri Hilson's voice over and over and goes on for 7 minutes. Bliss.

The most wtf remix is the Nephew Remix by Danish rock band Nephew. "The Way I Are" is essentially a tale of a poor guy trying to get it on with a girl, and the girl saying that she doesn't mind his poverty. Nephew build on this premise and put an ethnic identity spin on it, it doesn't matter, we're Scandinavian, we're socialists, we like sex with the penniless - "I'm Scandinavian, everything is what it is; I'm Scandinavian, everything is free." - thus turning it into some weird Scandinavian hard rock anthem.
