What you have to understand about Fine Tune Friday is that what it wants, it gets. And what it wants is whatever I can't get out of my head.

Kid Cudi, "Day 'n' Nite" (2009)

find it on Man On The Moon: The End Of Day

It's hard not to compare "Day 'n' Nite" to "Crazy" or "Hey Ya": songs that straddle the line between modern R&B, throwback soul and something else entirely, and become big hits for their obvious universal appeal. This song, even more than others, has haunted me this last week, even a couple months after I saw the trippy video. It's one of those times when the music sounds like the story that the lyrics are telling: stoned loneliness. Fantastic stuff, and worth sharing for those of you who, like me, managed to miss its ubiquity.
