I Don't know About My Dreams...

James Blake...nice.

Fader says he sounds like D'angelo...hmmm...

more or less...To me he sounds more like...

Jesse Boykins III with an English Accent...
and when he holds a note...i hear a little Gaye in there...Marvin...that is...

you hear it?

Plus I'm REALLY feeling This Wilhelms Scream right now...like on some anthem shit...



Now Go listen to Jesse and tell me I'm wrong...

New Lupe...New Year!!!

Sooooo...Its a New Year... yadda yadda...blah blah...

I was inspired to start blogging again even though I thought nobody read this thing.

Guess I was wrong.

This is for the two ppl I ran into on NYE who could recite a few of my posts off top...
(whispering) Aye, for a moment...I felt cool. lol

Back to the subject at hand tho...another genius has reemerged as well...The homie Lupe...
Ahhhhhh...love that guy.

He looks really good in the video. I like the look he's got going now...
Love Love Love the peezy head thing...

I love a guy who's not afraid of the texture of his hair...you know, a guy who doesn't brush the shit outta his low haircut to get waves...that's not your real texture playboy!!
I hate to break it to you, but you're black, my nig. If you didn't brush it every 5 minutes it would kink...but thats beautiful...so wear your hair like that...no s-curl...

moment of silence for a black power fist...

Ok, I'm back.
And his jacket....To diiiiiiiiieeeeee for! (He's so cute and conscious! What else could a girl ask for??)
Oh yeah, I know what else....!!!!

A cute conscious guy that sample's Modest Mouse!!!
Take me now!!!!!!!

Yeah...Kids, for those of you that aren't familiar, the chorus of the song samples "Float On" by Modest Mouse... This was like one of my high school anthems (ahhh good ol 9th grade)!!!

either way...enjoy the vid... go Lupe...and Happy New Year...


This is "Float On" for those of you who are unfamiliar...don't tell anyone but...i like the Modest Mouse original better... check out "Blame it on the Tetons" too...and "Ocean Breathes Salty"...Classic...just classic




Oh...and remember you never know who's watching...so give em a show. Til next time.

Now I follow...

Imani Perry

@imaniperry

I wanna be like her...

Do you Listen to...?

dj eSenTRik?

Well...you should...

Idk exxxxaaaactly what to call it...

House music? Techno?

Excuse my ignorance...I'm from Atlanta...

And the masses don't bang to shit like this...though they should.

In the midst of my daily blog hopping in the library I found...7teentwenty2.blogspot.com (dope blog btw) and I didn't realize that I had the volume on my computer on blast your fucking ears off...with no earphones in. Sooooo....in the middle of a quiet library my computer proceeds to belt this terribly loud music...

I scrambled to turn the volume down BUT I noticed the song was dope, so I just put my earphones in...

"Hol' up" (intentional exclusion of the 'd'[atlanta accent])

"Is this Drake?"

Mind you...

Late March I went to this Cloudeater/GirlTalk concert @ Emory (where I almost died in a mosh pit) and though I had a near death experience the GirlTalk ppl, who claim not to be dj's, played similar music...i dug.

So I dig...

This...

eSenTRIK's next project will remix the "Thank Me Later" mixtape...And ironically will be called "Thank Me Now"...

Consider yourself Thanked...dJ eSenTRIK...consider yourself thanked.

Be Over by dJ eSenTriK

Do you Watch...

Current Tv?
Well...you should...
Pure Dopeness...Its like CNN and MTV had a lovechild...

And the hosts are debatably the coolest muthafunkers on the planet...like I'd date any of them...they're super witty and weird...and I "think" they write their own material(if they write it at all) they lowkey sound like its improv...

And if its one thing the universe needs less of, its not murderers, thiefs, and terrorists...Its SCRIPTED TV SHOWS!!!! Damnit!

Current TV is Al Gore's brainchild...the channel first aired in 2005, so its relatively new...but well worth watching so it stays on tv...

The coolest thing about the channel is that most if not all of the material that they air are viewer submissions...ppl send in documentaries on art, culture, politics...everything...and they air it (if its good)...and sometimes they pay you for it...like there's this one show, "Rotten Tomatoes", and it basically bashes the latest movies but the critiques come from the viewers...and if they air your critique...they send you a whopping 100 bucks!!!

Its like a continuous Youtube without all the whack meaningless shit that you don't want to see... I give it 2 thumbs up...
Check it out! (Fergie voice)

Channel for the young and witty intellectuals...sooo how do i become a host?

Ode...

In those cherished moments when i get to eat in the caf @ school...mmm mmm mmm(sporadic church shout [Yes Lawd!])...along with my cheese omelet (courtesy of Ms. D)...i get to see a little piece of heaven in a black man...

Yeah I said it!

And I promise...

This guy is so fine I feel like doin community service after I see him!

You know, to give back to the universe for giving us him...

Crazy? Maybe.

Thirsty? Hell no! (Don't try me!)

Stalker? naaaaah.

Stalker-esque. I'll take that.

Almost missed him today.

But I went back in the caf after eating because I decided to walk to the library and it was a little chilly, so I figured a coffee would ease the winds...

Went back to get my coffee...earphones in...Charlie Parker Pandora playing...saw him...

My muse for the day...Thanx.

Plus...who doesn't love a man who wakes up early in the morning...its something about it that just says....um...something...
haven't quite figured it out yet...
But Damnit Black Man...u are beautiful...

Most importantly...I made it to the library...Go Woody!

Empty...like I like it...

Print shop? Ha! We're cool now...

Grrrrrr....

Grrrr...To the bandwagon jumpers...

I don't like to discourage ppl from finding new sounds...
Shit...I LOVE to put ppl on to new sounds and I like for ppl to return the favor to me...shit, put me on to somethin new too brethren...

(Sidenote: returning the favor is ALWAYS the right thing to do!)
I digress.

Since Erykah's latest project Return of the Ankh...and Kelis's new vid Acapella...ppl have been jumping on the bandwagon HARD!

I don't mind ppl enjoying the art...but do some research damnit...just cuz ur new to their art doesn't mean the artist hasn't been doing this intellectual futuristic shit since the begining of time!

(under my breath) talking bout "This is a new sound and new look for Badu and Kelis"
(outside voice) No the eff its not!!!...different from these whack stagnant mediocre artists maybe...
but these two ladies have ALWAYS been on some next level shit!
Whats new?

Phew!(wipes sweat from brow)
(sigh) Ok...I'm calm now...

Hope you didn't mistake my disdain for the bandwagon jumpers for me sayin that these two beautiful artists don't produce eye opening material...They clearly DO!...
Its just that they produce the same caliber of eye openingness with every album they release...and they've BEEN doing that since they first came out!
Plus...Good shit is good shit...whether you look like an Avatar character...ahem Kelis...
or if you wanna walk the streets in your b'day suit like those french girls in that "Make the Girl Dance" video...ahem Badu...

Bottom line...they are dope artists and if you plan on jumping on the bandwagon now...know a lil somethin about the wagon you're jumping into...
Is it a station wagon...?
A lil red wagon...?
Shit ppl! Do some research!
THEN enjoy...
Enjoy...
