TLC’s “No Scrubs” De-Constructed

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=II_ioJPVRt0#t=191]

I don’t know who Elijah Aaron is, but his live-loop cover of TLC’s “No Scrubs” is amazing. I love that he completely took apart this song and started with a bunch of sounds that was nowhere near to “No Scrubs,” but that it worked out in the end. Amazing.

10 Thoughts

  1. Guess what kind of face I made when I saw THIS for the first time?
  2. Today, I discovered my dream wedding dress is not within the range of my future wedding dress budget.
  3. Snickerdoodle Cupcakes. They exist. They’re mini! Only at Cafe de Russ, right?
  4. TLC spoils me with the wedding series… Say Yes to the Dress, Four Weddings, and now I Found the Gown.
  5. Bellinis will be served at MY wedding.
  6. Throughout the summer, I have eaten at the Nordstrom Cafe for dinner nearly 5-6 times. Every time I have gone, there has always been the same elderly couple and today (after inquiring) my waiter told me that they come in almost every Friday. They are just as cute as I believed them to be and he orders breakfast for dinner and she orders the pasta. It was the sweetest thing.
  7. Courtney and I pulled over to watch some donkeys on the side of the road today on the way home.
  8. Lance Armstrong – bummer bro.
  9. There’s no point in saving money for the sake of just saving it. You should be saving with an intent to use it towards something that you really want whether it’s for yourself or for someone else. Sup v-ron.
  10. Chocolate Croissants will always be my most favorite pastry in the world.
