Its the 90s Again! Kinda.

Every generation or decade always gives a nod to an era before. Now it seems that its the 90s turn to get revisited. I may be biased but I think that the 1990s was the last great decade meaning looking back at the decade before us (the 2000s) I don't think there is anything significant enough to be revisited in the decades to come ya smell me? What got me to thinking about this is I am currently watching 120 minutes on MTV2 hosted by Matt Pinfield, how's that for nostalgia. That show kind of changed my life. The first time I saw Soundgarden's "Pretty Noose" was on 120 Minutes. Even though 120 Minutes is basically "Subterranean With Matt Pinfield" and Subterranean is basically 120 Minutes Without Matt Pinfield, I mean you get the point! However the welcomed but random comeback is not the only sign of the 90s, here are some more examples of what I feel is bringin the 90s back:

Snapbacks: I personally never wore Snapbacks but I think we can all agree that it's a pretty "90s" thing. I mean its kind of cool now but I feel that Snapbacks will soon become like Von Dutch Trucker caps. Tread trends lightly friends.


The Resurgence of the Superstar DJs: In the 90s we had monsters like Daft Punk, Chemical Brothers, The Crystal Method, Basement Jaxx, etc, etc. This was the "Rave" era. Now it's all about Dubstep, a genre I never really got into until recently. This genre has produced such names as Flux Pavilion, Skrillex, 12th Planet and now they are taking they're dance parties across the nation. Skrillex and 12th Planet are coming to Norfolk in October, yes I'm going. Listen I wanted to be a raver so hard in the 90s and I was just too young. So Im taking part in this.

The 90s Are All That!: This summer a stroke of absolute brilliance occurred when TeenNick launched 90sareallthat. Weeknight midnghts are dedicated to ALL 90s Nickelodeon shows. Whomever thought of this Thank You Based God! I only wish they will eventually show "Roundhouse" I think that show was the reason I became a Music Major.

The 20th Anniversary of Grunge: This year marks 20 years since the release of Nirvana's Nevermind, Pearl Jam's Ten, and Soundgarden's Badmotorfinger. Yup it was a good year for Seattle and I can imagine a great year for liberal arts co-eds, long live grunge!
So those are a few reasons why I feel like it's the 90s again. Minus the stable economy, no major war conflicts, booming stock market..........

I Miss You Man: Hot Channing

It's 7am monday morning, I just got in from work. There is nothing on television, I'm currently watching "Step Up 3" and I really don't know why. Here's my short summary on ALL the Step Up movies...horrible acting, atrocious story line, sick dance sequences, the end. But if there has to be a "best" movie in the series it would be the first one, and why is that? Two words. Channing. Tatum. This was Channing at the peak of his ridiculous hotness. His first blaze of hotness? "Coach Carter".

Seriously "Coach Carter" is like girl porn there was just so much hotness going on in that movie. There hasn't been that much hotness in a basketball movie since "Sunset Park"! (haaa what you know about sunset park!?)
Channing next portrayal of uber hotness "She's The Man"

Then in what I feel was his super hot swan song "Step Up"


Then after that I don't know what happened, I mean don't get me wrong, the man is still fine, but let's just marvel in the era of yesteryear, the era of Super, dumb, uber, ridiculously hot Channing Tatum. I miss you.

YES!

Here is my boyfriend (ok not really but play along) Mayer Hawthorne's new joint " A Long Time". And this video is AMAZING. The footage came from an old Detroit area Soul Train-esque dance show straight from the late 80s early 90s. At first I thought it was like a recreation of a show but I very quickly realized everything was way to authentic to be fake. This is just great.

Go The F**k To Sleep!

When my lovely cousins Rachahd and Alexis came to Virginia with their herd of children I told them about this book titled Go The F**k To Sleep I don't think they believed that a book like this exists, oh yes, yes it does. Not only does the book exists and candidly throws around the F bomb, someone had the absolutely BRILLIANT idea of having Samuel L Jackson narrate the audio version. It does not get any better than this folks. I pledged to myself that the next person I know to have a baby will be getting this book. Someone I know just announced they're having twins! Guess what they're getting!
PS I actually heard about this book months ago thanks to my super guilty pleasure The Hipster Mom

Watch Yo Ass Fairfax!

When I called my bestie LEY last week the first thing I asked her was "How's your ass!?" For the record her ass is okay. But in Fairfax there's a butt slasher going around. Since feburary this slASSher has been attacking women in mall's and chain shopping stores. "Experts" say that he may suffer from some condition where he is sexually gratified by these attacks, well duh. Fortunately none of these young women had suffered serious injuries but I'm quite its something they'll never forget. This whole thing is quite bizarre. He's climbing out his Honda Accord, he's slashing your ass up, hide your heiny, hide your wife, he's slashin everybody out here.

Jammie

I stumbled across this song the other day and it has become my new favorite. I love it when I discover new music, it makes life a little bit sweeter until I play it to death. This is Twin Shadows with "Castles In the Snow"

I should have been on this episode

The second season of RuPaul's Drag U has commenced and its actually really good this season! Last season was the guinea pig and it showed that they went back reevaluated and made it much better. This past week's episode was about Virgins...yeah. But this episode was cute though. All Im saying is if I was in this episode I would have won, no doubt about it.
PS. RuPaul's word of the day: Entertaintment....iLive!
