Teairra Mari: "Make A Girl Feel"
The newly crowned "Princess Of the Roc," Teairra Mar, wasn't even born when Eric B. and Rakim unleashed ?My Melody,? the hip-hop classic who's sample is featured in her debut single, "Make Her Feel Good." But when the 17-year-old Detroit native heard the bass-heavy gem recycled she immediately knew she had found the cornerstone of her signature sound. Teairra Mar recalls, When I heard that track, I was like, "This is the one, because it's simple but also huge." The enthusiasm that "Make Her Feel Good" set off at The Island Def Jam Music Group marked a defining moment in Teairra Mari's young career, which began at age 12 when she started recording rough demos in her cousin's basement. Despite scoring a local radio hit with one of those early songs, four years passed before Teairra Mari's demo landed on the desk of Island Def Jam Group Chairman, Antonio ?LA? Reid, who signed the then 16-year-old singer on the spot at a brief meeting where she performed live. "I couldn't believe it," she says. "I was crying because I was so happy. I feel like everyone's behind me, which is a great feeling to have coming from a time when it seemed that nobody believed in me or wanted to hear me." In the first creative collaboration since Shawn ?Jay-Z? Carter became President of Def Jam Music Group, he and LA Reid recruited hit-making songwriter, Sean Garrett (?Lose My Breath,? ?Goodies,? ?Yeah!?), to help translate Teairra Mar??s innermost thoughts and emotions into lyrics. The two successfully completed "Make Her Feel Good," a defining first single from forthcoming album scheduled to be released June 7, 2005 on Roc-A-Fella Records. "Make Her Feel Good" is just a peek into her full-length album, which she describes as a girl's dictionary. "When Sean started writing the lyrics for "Make Her Feel Good," it was because of stories I was telling him about my guy friends," explains Teairra Mari, whose musical influences and inspirations include Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin (her grandmother sang back-up for the Queen of Soul), Prince, Sade, Patti LaBelle and Minnie Ripperton. This is just the beginning.

"The Dick Cavett Show: Comic Legends" DVD
Before there was Dick Cavett the talk show host, there was Dick Cavett the comedian. Cavett's early career as a writer for Jack Paar and Johnny Carson naturally led him into the world of stand-up comedy, where his contemporaries were the likes of Woody Allen and Bill Cosby. Cavett would later welcome both to The Dick Cavett Show. But Cavett's comedian guests were by no means limited to his contemporaries. Cavett developed warm personal relationships with people like Groucho Marx, Bob Hope and Jack Benny. These great raconteurs and storytellers had some of their finest moments in Cavett's studio, where they found a unique forum that didn't necessarily require them to be funny. But of course they simply couldn't be anything else.

The 404 428: Where we prune the hedges of many small villages
What happens when one extremely popular tech TV show with an attractive female host blatantly takes the slogan of a much lesser known Internet radio show with three mildly humorous, if not a bit awkward, post-pubescent manboys? You're about to find out on today's episode of The 404, where Attack of the Show's GadgetPr0n stole our tagline, "High Tech, Low Brow." Now, I'm a little unwilling to compromise my relationship with Olivia Munn, the , but Jeff and Wilson are heated and propose an all-out battle for the right to the slogan!
BOL 1027: What is your major smellfunction?
On today's episode, we invent a new word that we hope will show up on a show like "The Hills" sometime soon. Plus, we get fired up, make terrible jokes about monkeys controlling computers with their brains, and actually work in a tiny bit of news. For example, Apple's doing a tablet and music labels are trying to sell some new weird digital album thing. You might like the "fired up" part better.
