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.

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.
