When We Reminisce Over You My Gah...

So in college I used to have a radio show named "Hoodmetal". It was my life, my release therapy. I created the term which in one word encapsuled everything that the show and my music tastes were about. From that show spawned the "Urban Metal Music Festival" which also inhabited what my whole MO was about. Man I miss doing that show so much. I am doing nothing like that now, I am so unfulfilled at this place, but there has to be something better waiting in the wings for me. I have worked to hard and continue to work hard my whole life not for something better to be in the works. Anyways visit the Hoodmetal page that has clips from years ago, I go there erry once in a while and have nostalgia, also here is a video from UMMF.

Smile to hide yo tears Jammie

Here is "Smile" by Alchemist ft Twista and Maxwell, loves it.

Ugh Jealous!

That's it I want to move back to New York City. All the cool stuff happens there, nothing like this would happen here, if Va has a free concert its always like Hootie and Blowfish, or the B-52's or Jimmy's Chicken Shack, come on man BUMP THAT! Anyways here is a flyer about a free show that's going down featuring CHESTER FRENCH AND KID CUDI, uggggh so jealous

Boom Boom POW!

Ha I bet that statement is going to be used a lot in some form relating to this story. So over the weekend blogger Perez Hilton was attacked by the Black Eyed Peas manager. He posted a queen tastic video about it here. Although like I said its super queenie Perez or Mario is right, he should not have been physically attacked, its all silly. Listen Perez Hilton is a gossip blogger who states his opinion on everything, and at times I dont agree with everything he says or is interested in (like his obsession with Lady Gaga ugh) I find his site thoroughly entertaining and is the first blog I go to everyday. Its all in good fun, its not to be taken seriously. He gives people credit when due, he gives people s@#t when due as well. Apparently it all started when Fergie was complaining about Perez making fun of her, oh waaaa. And it came to a climax with Will.i.am asking Perez to no longer write about BEP on his website and what not.Pause,I personally could care less about BEP I mean this is not "Joints and Jams" Black Eyed Peas we're talking about here I stop caring about BEP a looooong time ago, it's not that serious homie. If someone dont like your music than keep it moving, people are still going to buy your crap anyway. The whole situation was uncalled for and I do believe Perez cause I've heard about BEP's people getting into altercations before. But Perez being a gay man shouldnt have called him the 'F' word though. BUT there are 2 sides to every story and none of us knows what really happened, this whole thing is so really gay, like really, so, yeah.Boom Boom POW.

Oh Guuuurl turn that up!

This right here is going to be a summer bangaaa. I know for sure the 757 is going to be bumping this. This is Clipse ft Pharrell with "Im Good" another classic Clipse/Neptunes collabo, Ive listened to it on repeat all night at work, loves it. Download here and watch out for the Clipse's album Till the Casked Drops coming out in September...hopefully, I mean this IS Startrak we're talking about here, just saying.

Today's Blogging Has Been Brought to you By...

...Skee-Lo!! just because I wish I was little bit taller.

Sunday Gold: Musical 3!

So I just wanted to dump off some more videos from the Santigold show last sunday. Mostly for me so I can see them without having to break out the camera. These vids are not long, or great in quality, but they're mine so they're awesome. Up first a lil lil lil bit of "Lights Out"
And then...somebody made it rain and the intro to "Get it Up"


And that's about it for the videos, a nice to relive that show, it was a good one, the next show im looking forward too is Kid Cudi/ Asher Roth (without the asher roth part) just found out that 88 Keys will be opening niiiiice.

Obsessions are Healthy

So I've always loved Zach Galifiankis so I not just jumping on the bandwagon. But I like many, many, other americans finally got to see Zach get his proper shine in "The Hangover" as fas as I am concerned there were no other actors but Zach in the movie. The dentist was cool though and obviously Bradley Cooper is a baaabe but this is Zach's movie. If you have not seen it yet what is your problem? And if your wondering yes I would smash. Wait until I get my money right.

A Now a word from the Wise

"I was in love once, but then the mirror broke"
-Tony Macrini
Tony Macrini is the morning dude on WNIS in hampton roads, he is THE man, he's been in radio for 30+ years and he is showing me the ropes, he's an italian dude from NYC/dirty jerzey and he's a good dude...and he's also f$&king batty.

Saddened but not Surprised.

Haha,love this picture
So this past weekend at Bonnaroo, Trent announced that it was NIN's last show in the US. This is funny cause I had tickets to see them the day before in Charlotte, NC but decided not to go cause 1) NO money 2)I wasnt going to drive 5 hours just to sit on the lawn and watch them on a screen, I can see better footage on the tube of you's. But I am sad to hear this, but he has said this before so we'll see. Plus he's all happy and stuff cause he got a wifey and prolly wants to start a family pronto. It's all good we all have to grow up sometime. If this is true and he really is not going to perform anymore it is definitely an end of an era, for sure.

Today in 'No Sh%t' News

Things are being researched all the time. Research for cures to horrible diseases such as AIDS, Cancer etc. These are causes that takes a lot of money and time. Then there are things being researched that also takes time and money, time and money that could have been used elsewhere. So today we have a 'survey' that says New York has the angriest drivers No Sh%t. I wonder how much time and money it took to come to such an obvious conclusion. Apparently it was Miami before, what the H do people in Miami have to be angry about YOUR IN MIAMI TRICK! I also think NY road rage is hereditary, do some research on that! But seriously I did not learn to drive in NYC but I definitely have the rage, mostly cause I believe VA drivers are stupid. So I think I would fit in with NY drivers just fine. To be truthful I dont think I really want to find out though, that's the wussy, hesitant VA driver coming out I guess. Hmph.

Sunday Gold: Electric Bugaloo

Alright so here we go, Im finally getting around to tell you about the Sanitgold show on sunday. As I have previously posted on my way into work early sunday morning I heard about on the radio and I immediately flipped out and checked my bank account to make sure I had enough fundz which I did. Got off of work and purchased the tickets. Enough of that let's get to the show. Up first in the line up was this chick Amanda Blank, she's from Philly and her musical style reminds me of Peaches, I enjoyed much, she was bad a$$. Up next was Trouble Andrew whom I have heard because of the cameo on Santi's song "I'm A Lady" turns out this is actually fiance. He has been snowboarding for a while and turned to music. I REALLY liked his set, on twitter I think I said something along the lines of "Santigold update #2 trouble andrew was dope like stoner skater snowboarder thug music i dug." So yeah, I enjoyed it so much I brought the album after the show was over and me likey, my brother bought a Trouble Andrew shirt too, so I guess he likey as well. I love this dudes swagger.





Alright so after what seemed like an extrrrreeemely long wait Santigold finally came out, here's the video of her coming out and my screaming like a teeny bopper, have your barf bag next to you, its shaky.
So she performed every single song from her debut record and some including songs from a mixtape which I didnt know about and a Cure cover. Turns out she had the stomach flu!!! And she still came on stage and put on an absolutely amazing show. The best part of the night however was my brother going on stage and dancing with her during "Creator", ohhh that made his life!! In this vid watch the kid in the green shirt that's my brova Tyrone aka Kid Nyva aka Popjaye
So overall it was an excellent show from top to bottom. Even Santigold was surprised how cool and diverse the crowd, I guess cause it's the 'south' but this is a special area and she needs to come here again!




And. I'm. Done.

Ah so many videos Im gushing over today

First up Saul Williams joined Nine Inch Nails on stage and performed "Banged and Blown Through" off of Saul's The Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust one of my favorite albums of last year produced fully by Trent, ughhh I wish I can see them (NIN) friday in NC but whatev. This does me just fine.

ANNNNNDD the new video for "Peace" from Depeche Mode which is my favorite song from
Sounds of the Universe.

Look into my brain for a minute

Like literally I just thought about this video.This video gives me goosebumps people who saw this at the time prolly did not what the H hit them, its super epic.

And Tony (the morning show host) and I were just talking about music, and the category BS the industry puts on music and not even Prince these days can get airplay because he is not in a certain category. Then we started talking about this lady, one of the baddest biznatches to touch down on Gawd's great earf. Sheila E.

Cool Guys Dont Look at Explosions

I know, I know, this video is old, but this is my blog so SUCK IT. The MTV Movie Awards were what 2 weeks ago and hosted by Andy Samberg. The show as a whole was bleh. The whole Lonely Island song montage was funny and the Bruno thing at first viewing was great but you keep watching and find out it was staged and the magic fades fast. In a convo I was having with the homie LEY, I was explaining to her that Andy's humor was probably not best for the show. I enjoy Andy and "the dudes" humor very much, I have Hot Rod on DVD which people give me the side eye when I tell them that. I just feel they should have gotten someone with like a 'general' sense of humor. Anyways this was favorite portion of the show.

Music Major Ish.

So for those that dont know, I was a music major in kawledge. Some people may think that it is pretty easy cause all you is play music and stuff, but ohhh noooo it so much more to it than that. Check out this little doc that recent RU grad and super fantastic drummer Amanda put together as one of her final projects at good ol Radford U.
PS. Love Chapter 2 haha, it features my 'grandbaby' Rach.

Sunday Gold

So I promised to post about the Santigold show that I went to on sunday, but like the bonehead I am I forgot my camera with fuzzy pictures and shaky videos at home. I dont feel right writing about the show without the pics so as soon as I get home from work I'm going to put my camera in my bag so I wont forget it, and will do the full write up tomorrow. But to wet you pallet a bit I would just say it was AMAZING, smack yo gums on that till tomorrow.
Note: I know the tag says SanTOgold, and she now goes by SanTIgold, but the tag is pre-existing and I dont feel like going back and changing them just yet so yeah.

The day got brighter, no Gold.

So sunday is not my favorite day of the week, cause I have to go to work and sunday is a day of rest. Jesus does not approve. However; on my way into work today whilst listening to the radio I heard this lovely lady will be in town performing tonight.

Needless to say I got excited. Got into work immediately checked my account and I have just enough money plus some to buy 2 tickets to the show tonight. So what I have to be at work at 2 am THIS IS FREAKING SANTIGOLD!!! So on tuesday ill tell you how it went im so excited.

I like to think of myself as the Black Susan Boyle, so I tried to configure a picture as such but I suck. My lovely co-worker Lisa Marie volunteered her Photoshop skills and this is what happened, I am tickled.

If I had a dating ad it would read like this.

Homeless Man Plays with
Poop on Valley Lightrail

PHOENIX - A light rail train was taken out of service Tuesday morning after someone left a nasty surprise inside.

Around 8 a.m., a train was stopped for cleaning after a man smudged feces in the interior of the train. Police were told the man on the train was flicking and playing with feces.

The light rail operator was notified and quickly took the train out of service.

"It is a biohazard, and we have protocol for how we handle a situation like this," says Hillary Foose. Those protocols include disinfecting the train.

It was discovered near the 38th St and Washington station.

The man, who police say is homeless, was questioned at the station and released. Police plan to review surveillance video on the train.

Everybody wants Kung Fu Strippin'

"Apparently the Cheetah is wild" Lolers.
Did this guy not know about the no touch rule? Ive never been to a strip club and I know that. So if you slap a striper on the arse, expect a stiletto upside your head.

Tales from the Coca Plant.

Cocaine is a helluva drug (copyright:Rick James), but it makes for some very entertaining stories, shall we proceed?
Cocaine story number A: Germany ban Red Bull Cola. Apparently Germany is planning or have already banned RBC cause it has small traces of the Cocaina in it. Something along the lines (haha I said lines) of .4 micrograms of that Rick James in it. I am not familiar with the measurement of 'micrograms' but it sounds harmless. I mean if Red Bull is supposed to "give you wings" then I say let em fly. ::note to self BUY RED BULL COLA!::
Cocaine Story letter dos. Suitcase made of booger sugar. Some Chica got caught in a Chilean airport with two suitcases made of cocaine. I wonder what gave the suitcases away? Anywho the cocaine could be extracted from some chemical mess. If anything they should have let her go for her innovation, it beats shoving ballons up your a-hole, but I digrees.
This has been your morning boost of stories of cocaine,I do not condone the drug use, but whatever makes you fly.

Blog Recession

Yeah so I try to find the strength to blog I really do. There is just nothing of late that has fired me up to blog. Its a blogging recession going on right now, we are in a crisis. Maybe tomorrow will be a more inspiring day. I took a trip to richmond a few weeks ago and have not uploaded pictures yet, maybe ill do that.
