Essential Listens 2.0 from the Bostonist Staff

Sample these tracks and let us know what's in your iPod playlist this week.

	Lady Sovereign \| UK Hip-Hop Vertically Challenged [Download] UK hip hop phenom Lady Sovereign rocked the Middle East last night- check out her track "Ch-Ching" for a sample of what the future of hip hop has to offer...
	The Lascivious Biddies \| Rock Get Lucky [Download] Bostonist Stefan represents this week with the Lascivious Biddies an all female cocktail pop quartet based in New York City, dowload "Intellectual" from their site to get a taste.
	Redman \| Hip-Hop/Rap Muddy Waters [Download] Bostonist Josh represents for the Old Skool with a blast from the past from none other than Redman with his '96 release "Muddy Waters". Dowload for a walk down memory lane and the classic mix of skit and rhyme.
	John Mayer Trio \| Blues Try! Live [Download] Bostonist Alex thinks that Mayer haters need to stop hatin' and buy the new live LP. Leaving behind pop for something more blues-y with the likes of Steve Jordan and Pino Palladino - Mayer creates something truly spectacular.
	Flaming Lips \| Rock Late Night Tales [Purchase] Nothing better than the most recent cd from the Flaming Lips. Bostonist Joel swears by this most recent installation which includes Bjork, Aphex Twins, Nick Drake, and Radiohead.

A big thanks to Nicholas over at LAist for the inspiration for Bostonist to start our very own "Essential Listens" posts.
