7 Things That Are Everything This Week

We're loving the third album from New York artist Santigold, 99¢, which both skewers and lauds consumerist culture — Santi often licenses her songs to commercials, while also criticizing today's music industry, which makes "selling out" necessary for survival. 99¢ kicks off with the ebullient track "Can't Get Enough of Myself," which is just as catchy as her past hits like "L.E.S. Artists" and "Disparate Youth." Santi, who just appeared on Ellen DeGeneres's talk show (see below), is in the midst of a national tour — she performs at Hollywood's legendary Palladium Thursday.
