Rock chick Res -- who currently is a member of the rock-rap hybrid band Idle Warship (with Graph Nobel and Talib Kweli) has released this cover version of “The Metro,” a song originally performed by 80’s new wave band Berlin. The track will appear on Mick Boogie Presents Idle Warship's Party Robot mixtape and it's supposed to represent her new musical direction. A upcoming solo album also is in the works.

I'm happy that Res is back making music, but on the real, I'm not feeling this song, too tough.

I want the old Res from the How I Do days.

Undoubtedly, her 2001 debut LP How I Do (on MCA Records) is one of the best rock-R&B albums of the past decade. And there hasn't been a chick who could rock it harder or better than Res since.

So, I have to go back down memory lane and watch/listen to some old Res.

Hot or Not?: Balloon Boy T-Shirt

Cop the T-shirt HERE

A T-shirt designer is trying to get rich off of the "Ballon Boy" fiasco.

I like the T-shirt, though. It cost $20.

Hot Ish!: Ransom + Adidas Originals Shoe/Boots Line

This is a great video for a shoe collection that is street-certified HOT!!

Is it me or does Adidas create some of the hottest collaborative kicks on the sneaker scene? Case in point ☛ Adidas Originals Consortium Rod Laver Collection

Here is a "Note" from Ian, who can explain the collection better than I can:

Introducing Season ONE: Ransom Footwear by adidas Originals. Footwear crafted to withstand a rugged lifestyle and made for individuals continuously searching for a life well-led and a good story to tell.

Available worldwide October 31, Ransom is a T.dot-based clothing line so this is a pretty big look for them. I think there was a party for this at some point but evidently I'm not important enough to have gotten an invite! :/
