N.E.R.D. have called it quits due to a dispute with its record label, Virgin Records. What a disappointment. I did check 'em out with my brother live when they played in Toronto during the summer of 2004. And going into that show with only a passing familiarity with their music I was surprised how much I liked their music. They crossed and mixed many musical genres from rock, hip-hop, r'n'b, with just a touch of punk attitude. Really amazing. And really beautiful to see indie kids, hip hop fans and rock fans agree on something.
