Grammy-nominated and Parisienne-bred producer DJ Snake has been on a tear recently, breaking out in 2013 with “Bird Machine”, and this year with the proper massive “Turn Down For What” with Lil Jon.

This past month two automotive legends ceased production, their spirits rising into the Great Pantheon of Iconic Cars in the sky. Two vehicles that defined terminally opposite points of the spectrum, different in pricepoint, performance, utility, powertrain, spirit… well, just about everything.

If you still haven’t gotten enough of Ms Houston’s music to salve your grieving soul, you need to download New York radio station Hot 97 DJ Mister Cee’s Throwback at Noon set from yesterday, which was an hour-long homage to Whitney Houston […]
