Do you remember that first time you had chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream? I remember the first time and I was struck by this feeling of "my god, why haven't I been eating this stuff before today?"

I can imagine it's much the same feeling a crackhead has to have after his first rock. However, the important thing to learn from crackheads like Tyrone Biggums is that sometimes, too much of a good thing, even the best of things, can be a bad thing.

Well folks, I'm here to announce there is a new crack in town, and it is a Ben & Jerry's creation. Celebrating their 30th birthday, these Vermont tree-hugging hippies have created an ice cream so good that it would send more people to rehab than the crack addicted welfare mothers that they coddle up there in hippie land (i keed i keed.... mostly cause I like making fun of Vermont). Anyway, the ice cream is called Cake Batter and it basically tastes like yellow cake and goey chocolate frosting. Not only is the combination naturally delicious (you can already taste the really good yellow cake, right?) but being in ice cream format is one of those "why hasn't this been going on for ages?" moments at first bite.



Seriously, the stuff is crack. Beware. But if you really want to get addicted to this stuff, use Ben & Jerry's very cool Flavor Locator Tool to find a pint near you. Congrats on the 30 years Ben & Jerry's, and keep the good stuff comin!

... and some new Kraak (& Smaak)

Some things are just smooth and tasty, like Cake Batter ice cream, or a fresh crack rock, or an old school duet by Bobby and Whitney, or an old school duet by Bobby and Whitney about Cake Batter ice cream with crack rocks sprinkled on top. Equally smooth and tasty are the tunes from the Netherlands' very own, Kraak & Smaak.

In addition to having a fantastic name, this trio of producers churn out a wide variety of sounds, that always seem to retain a quality that makes it pretty easy to identify as a Kraak & Smaak track. Right now, they're riding high with a great tune called "Squeeze Me" that has Ben Westbeech on vocals and a super cool video. Their music has a great balance between funk, breaks and straight up house that makes Kraak & Smaak not only a lot of fun to listen to, but really useful to have in a crate of records at DJing gigs that span a lot of genres.

But enough about the serious music talk, we've got crack to discuss... and if we're discussing crack, and Kraak & Smaak, then the only thing to post up here is Kraak and Smaak's fantastically smooth, but still punchy cut, oh so appropriately titled Bobby and Whitney. Be careful with this one, cause dancing, addiction, and constant rewinding may soon follow.
