Who did a Google search for What's 33 1/3 Cents?

I'm really curious who did a google search for "What's 33 1/3 Cents" .... 

Thirty three and a third revolutions per minute refers to the speed of the turntable while playing back records. If you've ever heard of a "45" that refers to those tiny little records, which are played 45 revolutions per minute, a different setting on the turntable.

I came up with the name Thirty Three and Third Cents a Pound my freshman year in college when I started doing the radio show ... and it stuck!

33 1/3 Cents a Pound New Ep. 07 (Valentine's Day)

This week's episode is a very special and unique Valentine's Day episode. For the first time in over 8 years I'm not in a "relationship" on Valentine's Day. I wanted to do something more universal on the show than just a bunch of happy love songs. So many people stand firmly opposed to Valentine's Day every year, and of course plenty of people are way into it as well. I wanted to try and dissolve this dichotomy and play a well rounded set of music that explored many of the emotions surrounding love, romance, etc.

I wanted to play songs from a strong male perspective as well as songs representing more female points of view. I chose a couple of songs that talk about relationships in their various states of disarray and disrepair. I have some happy, uplifting songs, some really good break-up songs, songs about cheating, songs about lust, jealousy, etc. It's a roller coaster ride through the second hand emotion we call love.

Love is not actually an emotion. It's not a feeling. It's a drive. It's a biological system that drives us and dominates our psyche, our decisions, our actions, and of course our feelings. But love is much more than a feeling itself. Remember that. It's a biological drive. This biological drive essentially contains three systems: lust, love, and attachment, which often follow chronologically. Anyway, this is a music radio show, and I am not Dr. Frasier Crane, so let's get on with it!

This week we hear the male angst perspectives of Cake, Slick Rick, and EPMD, the emotional power of Nina Simone and Tina Turner, plus the insightful and humorous quirks of Little Jackie and Lily Allen. The ultimate love maker himself, R. Kelly, makes an appearance, and Method Man teams up with Mary J. Blige to deliver my favorite rap love song of all time. Press play below.
