Bust Your Windows

Youtube, in their mighty wisdom, will not allow you to share the video of "Bust Your Windows" by Jazmine Sullivan any longer, so read this, then go watch it over there. Bastards.

Jason from Night is Half Gone mentioned the marching band from the school where he teaches played this during Mardi Gras, which in itself is dazzlingly cool for them. I mean, we played crappy Sousa marches. Anyway, I've adored it since then. The beautiful instrumental line is from "Bad Man's Waltz" although it sounds more like a tango to me.

The boyfriend eye candy is fine, but I'm not sure about the fashion choices here. A crocheted beanie AND a fur trimmed hoodie that's a little too tight? I don't want to be all Go Fug Yourself here, but Jaz, darling, when one has a chest the size of a laundry basket, padding it with animal pelts is not the way to go. Still, love the song.
