Jammies

These are a couple of my current jammies. Up first is Machine Gun Kelly's first official music video for the song "Wild Boy" ft Waka Flocka Flame


Up next is a new project from the OFWGKTA camp. The Internet is the combo of sole lady of OF Syd the Kid, Matt Martians of the Super 3 and Left Brain of Mellowhype. This song is "Cocaine"

I Miss You Man: Hoodmetal

*oddly enough im wearing that sweatshirt right now*
All this talk about National Metal Day has me thinking about and missing my old college radio show "HoodMetal". It was this concoction I came up with when I finally earned my "Extensions" spot on WVRU. On the HoodMetal Show I just played all the things that I loved ranging from Hip Hop and R&B all the way to Metal and any and everything between. That show paved the way for the Urban Metal Music Festival and now I'm here, working at a corporate radio station bored, miserable, wasting my time and talent. But let's not talk about that. Let's talk about the days of innocence, when I really thought I could actually have a future in this business they call show. Here is the HoodMetal Soundclick page which is still alive, active, and full of awkwardness. If you ever get bored you should listen to it and laugh at me.

Happy National Metal Day!

Today is a day of many things and myths. It's 11-11-11, whats going to happen? Is the rapture finally coming? If you make a wish at exactly 11:11 on 11-11-11 will your wish finally come true? These things I do not know. But here's what I do know. Today is National Metal Day. Now apparently the source for the National Metal Day is VH1 Classic of all things, but you know what? I'm down. There are so many kinds of Metal; Nu-Metal, Hardcore, Grindcore, Black Metal and my personal favorite HoodMetal ::wink wink:: but those are a few from the top of my head. Back in college I was way more of a Metal head than I am now. I am pretty set in my ways in the kind of music I listen to, but I will always be a Metal head in my heart. So I guess, I'm a Metal Heart? Anyways I was sitting here trying to think of which video I should put up here to honor National Metal Day. Do I go back in time and do some Black Sabbath or some freaking Dio or do I take it back to what I was listening to High School, or move up a little further and put up something I loved in College. But then, it hit me. I should put up the one song that really changed my life, that expanded my musical mind and introduced me to the rock/metal world. It all started one day back when I lived in The Bronx I was prolly 10 years old and I was watching MTV. Then all of a sudden this song came on and it was like, time frozen, and I would never be the same. Now this song is not their heaviest song, but it's from one of the heaviest and greatest bands ever. So I leave you with contribution to National Metal Day. Here is Metallica with "Until It Sleeps". Rock On.

Kid Fury Explains It All.

Kid Fury is someone I wish I knew in my personal life, he's like a cousin in my head. He is primarily a blogger, although he doesn't blog as much as others (who am I to talk?) but his videos on current happenings in pop culture are everything to me. The world will forever remember Halloween of 2011 as the day we all were dealt the shock of a lifetime. The divorce of soulmates and kindred spirits Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries. I was rooting for those kids. Actually let's be real we all saw this coming. However I do lose in the divorce pool, I thought they were at least going to make it a year and a baby. Doh well. Whatever I have to say on this tragedy will pale in comparison to the science Kid Fury just served to the children. Oh yeah the description he wrote for this video said "Kim Kardashian is divorced. Water is wet." iLive!!!!

Finally

After months of waiting and anticipation A$AP Rocky has released Live Love ASAP. I just downloaded this myself so I am looking forward to what this Harlem boy has to offer. From what I've heard leading up to this I'm pretty excited. Complex posted this interview with Rocky today and it definitely gives you insight to what he's all about. Sounds like a cool guy. Download his mixtape here

Update: After listening to this album constantly I have to say that I am in love. This project is Trillwave to the fullest. Every beat on here is superb and while Rocky isnt the illest lyricist alive, he definitely has an ear for music and what best accompanies it. I think that ASAP Rocky is going to have a pretty big year in 2012.

Maniac

After months of waiting Kid Cudi let loose the short film "Maniac" featuring Cage aka Cage Kennelz aka Chris Palko directed by my ex boyfriend Shia Labeouf. The short film is pretty cool and gory just right for halloween which has come and gone. My only gripe with it is it did not feature the actual song "Maniac" at all which I think at some point would have been great soundtrack for all the maniac-ness that takes place. Doh well.

Damn You Coldplay!

Here's the thing about Coldplay. I don't want to like Coldplay. I would like to deem them as elevated muzak. Some people would deem it "uncool" to like them. But I may or may not have 5 or 6 Coldplay songs on my iPod. I mean these guys are undeniable. They are one of the most consistent acts in music today. And just when you try to write them off they come out with a song that takes you to a magical place. A song that makes you want to go to a beach at sunset in white linen clothing let the wind blow through your hair fling your arms out Scott Stapp style and sing then afterwards eat something organic and smoke a hookah. Or maybe that's just me. Damn you Coldplay, you win again.
