Old School Friday – Videos That Make Me Go Whoa!

This week’s meme is: I’m In the Mood For and I’ve chosen videos that kinda creep me out. Technically they’re not that old but I’m bending the rules. Massive Attack has a knack for pushing the envelope with their creative interpretations which I love! Then I went back to two songs and videos that are [...]

Ruminations On Love and Life

Jolly Saturday to Everyone (these photos are from an Oakland neighborhood that grows scary life-size giant plants):

       This is a live post, meaning I haven’t pre-written it and scheduled it to appear later. My brain is fried today so I’m just posting photos and various things from the past week or so. [...]

Old School Friday – What Do You Do When You Listen to Everything?

So this week’s meme is “Outside My Box“, but I dabble in all genres of music so this isn’t going to work for me. See not all of us limit ourselves. I have my preferences of course but I do try to listen to everything (except degrading songs of course). So now I’ve got to [...]

Deploying A Little Negro Spirit: The Responsibility of the (Sometimes) Buying Public

So this was supposed to be the end of my series of cultural abandonment and appropriation but I think it bears continuing even as I expand the way it has been framed thus far.

I’ve had some very good conversations in real life and online from a variety of people (notably a majority of [...]

Old School Friday

Oh yeah! It’s Friday and it’s time for a little fun. I want you to break out the iced tea, juice, water or alcoholic beverage of choice and kick back cuz it’s the weekend baby!! This week’s meme is: THIS IS DEDICATED TO. So I’m thinking: to all the haters because it’s just been that [...]

Adam Lambert or Kris Allen As the Next Jeff Buckley?

American Idol is almost over. This is it! I will be so happy once this season is done and the winner declared! I swear if it hadn’t been for the flurry of Tweets about Adam this and Adam that I wouldn’t have bothered watching. Then I got sucked into the Idol vortex, lol! Just “crown” [...]

Deploying A Little Negro Spirit: When Black Female Artists of Substance Are Ignored

This is the fourth conversation in a series where I discuss race, culture, appropriation and the abdication of African-American touchstones due to devaluation of our unique perspective and shame.

Right now as I write this there’s a fight going on between the RIAA, radio broadcasters and the public. Only we don’t realize what’s at [...]

Old School Friday

This week’s meme is Greatest One Of All. I had to think about this for a minute and decided to focus on party songs. Have a great day!!

My Blog Name [...]

My Obligatory Idol Post

Well it’s almost over and I’m a sucker so I have to do an AI recap. Even if it’s for posterity sake and part of my blog archive, lol! Last night was the combo of Judges’ Choice/Contestant Choice. I refuse to make a prediction about who’ll be sent packing today because Allison getting voted [...]
