I know I'll get hated for this by a few but I also know NERD has a cult base within 313 circles and at least one major Detroit DJ is a mega fan to the extent where he knows all the words to the songs. ;
Anyway there is a DFA remix of the new single She Wants To Move which some may find interesting. After a week, I can say I like the new album Fly Or Die, it's kinda thrasher-soul. It's very rock 'n' roll - but Neptunes style! It's respect the fact that they're reclaiming rock. I think it's more cohesive over all than In Search Of... They have played all the instruments themselves (ie no Spymob) though Lenny Kravitz guests. Imagine Hendrix meets Mick Jagger meets Curtis Mayfield with a bit of disco. The best hip-hop I've heard all year is Kanye West - but this is pretty damn cool. Also Chad, whose roots lie in techno, is planning to work on an electronic project with a new artist whose name I can't recall. He won't use any computers, so it will be electronic music with a human element. My guess is it will be something along the lines of the Kenna album he produced. He worked with Bryan Zentz on his album, playing sax, too.
