Zo and Tigallo are from Raleigh (raise up!), and Tigallo is more commonly known as Phonte, a member of Little Brother. This is basically a series of super buttery R&B 80s covers. Like, if the tunes weren't so poppy you could make babies to this. Below is their version of "Take On Me" that's actually been floating around for over a year, credited to Phonte himself (it had me really scratching my head the first couple times it came on my ipod). The cover itself is great, but it gets really good at the end when they take some liberties and let Carlitta Durand really go to work. Girl sounds like Chrisette Michelle and that's a good thing.

My friend Jolene introduced me to Oak a couple months ago, they recently opened a location in NoLita. When we were there I immediately thought they were really avant-guard as well as out of my budget (both of these things are still true). Still, I can't stop returning to their website and drooling over their fall preview. Just think of the prices as motivation to be upwardly mobile.

Been a while since I recommended anything, my bad. It's the summertime! I've only got about 6-8 weeks of heat and skin and sweat and making out, I have to make the best use of my time. I recommend that you do the same.
(Yes, this a cop out, don't worry, I'm gonna post about Oak in a minute.)
