Thanks to the musical ear of a man simply known as Kyle, every week Cuzoogle will feature six songs/videos that you should check out. This week Kyle is liking the sounds of Saint Alvia Cartel, Toyko Police Club, Beastie Boys, Kaki King, Man Man and of course his No. 1 pick.

Black Eyed and Invincible Edition

6. Saint Alvia Cartel – “Blonde Kryptonite”, A bit of a plug. I have to admit…a friend of a friend worked on the video. Gotta support the kids in the industry, but seriously the song is catchy and the video is well done. I love good poster art.

5. Tokyo Police Club – “In a Cave”, It’s almost embarrassing how much I like this band. Straight up pop music for the masses. The production company for this video is called “Balloon Shop”, I wonder why?

4. Beastie Boys – “Check It Out”, This is from the memory vault, I’m pretty sure this is from 2004. I’m a huge fan of good “Steadicam” work and this is amazing, from the subway to the stage. No synching kids, this is live, you can tell by the flubs.

3. Kaki King – “Pull Me Out Alive”, This is terribly catchy, which I am a sucker for. I’m surprised I haven’t heard more about this girl, she’s played with the Foo Fighters, Tegan and Sara and Tortoise. That’s right music geeks, I said Tortoise.

2. Man Man – “Mister Jung Stuffed”, These guys are bizarre, their albums are named after 80’s movies like “Big Trouble in Little China” and they wear war paint on stage. They get described as playing “manic gypsy jazz”, which is pretty cool. And, hey, a cool animated video, go figure…

1. The Black Hollies – “Paisley Pattern Ground”, I was raised on psychedelic rock, thanks Dad (even though I still don’t really like Vanilla Fudge). Even their album covers are throw backs to the 60’s. These guys are big with the Ben Sherman wearing, Vespa scooter riding, latte drinking mod crowd, but I still like them. They have pictures of bacon and blue cheese on their MySpace.

I checked out RealGM’s mock draft to see who they have going to Toronto.

Center. Nevada

Though his first step is undoubtedly on the slow side, he is a very athletic 7-footer once he gets moving. Initial looks are to liken him to a classical center, but his ability to pass and shoot from about 15 feet in (though he will shoot from 20 feet) is more reminiscent of a European player than a homegrown American talent with a basketball pedigree and that should make him fit right in with the Raptors.

He is a good finisher, particularly in the open floor. He sometimes mistakes himself as a guard in the body of a center, making behind the back passes, taking step back 3’s, but he gets away with it and has some legitimate guard moves, even in the air.

Now on paper he does sound like a good fit but then again Bargnani looked like the next Larry Bird on paper so who knows what to believe. I do know that the Raps need a classic center with skills and I have been liking the idea of Roy Hibbert in the middle.

But if there is such a thing as a NCAA big man with a Euro style it could work out. The big question is, can he rebound?

Last season for the Wolf Pack he averaged 14 points and 7 boards with almost 3 blocks per game.

He is listed at 7 feet and 237 lbs. so he does fit the center mold and once the NBA gets him the bulk will go up.

Here is a video of him in action.

What do you think Raptors nation? Who would you prefer?

Finally we have four!

It has taken many weeks, a few server crashes and a last minute tie-breaker but we are finally down to the four hottest babes of Survivor voted on by you.

Will it be Amanda, Ashley, Heidi or Jenna? You will decide.

There were two very close matchups the past week with No. 1 seed Parvati going down. She did just win the actual Survivor so I doubt she will be that upset. Here is the current bracket.

Thank you for your votes and check back next week to see who reaches final. You can always see all of the Babes of Survivor here.

Every Wednesday Cuzoogle will feature The Seven which is a list of whatever we feel like. Submit your seven on whatever theme you want today and it will be posted in the coming weeks.

By now you have all seen the show Deal or No Deal. The one where Howie Mandel pretends to talk on the phone to some suit in the shadows who tries to talk the contestant out of going for big money. The people on this show are almost to unbearable to watch so it is a good thing they have those girls with the briefcases. After hitting this site from a google search it seemed silly to list the same girls again so it was decided to just list our seven favourites in no particular order. Enjoy.

1. Anya Monzikova (Case #10)

2. Megan Abrigo (Case #6)

3. Kelly Brannigan (Case #24)

4. Jenelle Moreno (Case #17)

5. Katie Cleary (Case #11)

6. Sara Bronson (Case #7)

7. Lauren Shiohama (Case #8)

Of the 26 ladies of Deal or No Deal, who is your fave?

To see all the previous seven posts just click here.

Among them: They have made some cursory inquiries with Phoenix (about Boris Diaw and Leandro Barboso), more substantive discussions with Toronto (about Andrea Bargnani), and there has been some dialogue with Denver about Carmelo Anthony.

The boys in the back went to build the next round of the Survivor babes Final Four and it seems there is a tie. Please help us change that for the next 12 hours.
