​"Going for Adds" is a forceful attempt to clog the request lines at our local radio hub the Current with fresh cuts, via blog. Today, a single with Minnesota and Florida implications: Bleubird's "Time 4real."

It's a pleasure to single out Bleubird's Cannonball!!! on the date of its release for a number of reasons. This album was pressed into my fingers by the multi-minded rapper himself on my last night in Fort Lauderdale, and it figured heavily into the same car ride that had so much Semisonic going on. Plus, a delightful story detailing his pimped-out touring RV and work with Astronautalis  by Betsey J. Denberg was the last print piece I edited down there. And, the music bangs out the speakers in pleasurable, unexpected ways.
