February was short on days but not mind-numbing pop albums or half-assed hip hop outings. Along with the “Thom Yorke is the next Bono” trope firmly establishing itself into the lexicon, February was also the month we found out that G. Love lost his Special Sauce somewhere along the way, but remains the musical equivalent of The Wackness.
