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!

Jammie
So I don't know if it's obvious but im a little bit of fangirl for Odd Future the teen, twenty something hip hop collective from Cali that has made quite some noise this past year. Tyler, the Creator has so far made his stamp on the industry and the sub group of Hodgy Beats and Left Brain known as MelloHype is up next. The re-released their second album from last year Blackendwhite into stores last week. Now im not going to go and compare emcee Hodgy Beats to Tyler cause they are two totally different people with two different aesthetics and deliveries. Surprisingly Hodgy tends to be a little bit more conscious speaking about gang violence and absentee fathers (well so does Tyler but Hodgy is a bit more....rational about it) and Hodgy melts perfectly into Left Brain's superb production. Left Brain's production is a lot more bass and synth heavy than Tyler's production, to me Left's production is so West Coast. Even though the attention right now is on the Blackendwhite project, I actually take more of a liking to their previous offering Yellowwhite. Even though the production is not as polished as the current album it makes it that much more raw. The jammie of the day comes from that album and it goes by the name "CocainKeys" enjoy.
I Miss You Man: Justin Timberlake
So Justin Timberlake has caught the acting bug. Who in the entertainment industry who's not an actor doesn't at least want to be in one movie? I blame Joey Fatone. Anyways JT has shown that he has pretty good comedic timing thanks to his several times hosting SNL and most of the movies he has been in so far were romantic comedies (except for Alpha Dog). The other day I seen a preview of Justin in a new movie with Amanda SiegfriedandRoy where he plays an action hero. Okay Justin it was cute at first, but now you've gone too far. An action hero? Just because you faced rabid dogs in the "Bye Bye Bye" video does not mean you should be an action star, but I digress. This post is after all about Justin's music. We all know Justin from N*Sync and I'm not gonna lie I was a little bit of a fan. But when he went solo and reached out to Virginia's superb beatmakers The Neptunes and Timbaland he went on to go and make his classic (in my opinion) debut album Justified. Every song (except for the one obligatory ballad, written by Brian McKnight no less) was an absolute banger. I played the CD so much I scratched it to its demise. After Justified he came out with that other album about sex and disco or something and that did exceptionally well also, but for ME anything after Justified was well, unjustifiable. Ha. Maybe one day he'll get back to music but it won't be the same and that's fine. For now let's all remember the good ol days.
**I remember when this video came out 7-11 started selling these shirts. Yes I bought one, yes I still have it, but now its a very snug pajama shirt, actually it was snug when I bought back in high school, but I didnt care, I had to have that shirt, ok that's it**
**Great song, but I got sick of it, its all good though**
**Gentlemen, good night, ladies, good morning!{snicker}**
**This was my FAVORITE song on the album, this song totally reminds me of driving my parents Kia Rio speeding out the student parking lot after school on a nice spring day, ah memories**

#latepass The Weakend
I am FINALLY getting to blog about what a fab weekend I had last week (july 4th weekend) but before I had this awesome weekend I had to get there first. Now the trip from Hampton to Fairfax is about 3 hours which is fairly short, and now that they have risen the speed limit from 65 to 70 I could comfortably do 73 to 74 without getting hassled. Only one problem, it was July 4th weekend. Remind me to never, ever, ever ever ever, travel on July 4th weekend again. Its partially my fault I guess. I wanted to head out earlier but my job messed my check up and it didnt get squared away till that morning, so all the errands I had to do got pushed back thus me not leaving till about noon, bad move. I thought maybe all the traffic would be headed towards Hampton Roads cause of the beaches and what not but there was traffic every effing where. The only time I wasn't in traffic was when I was on 295 which was about for 15 minutes. Traffic+ Sweltering high noon temps=not cool, literally. Finally by around 4 o clockish I arrived in Fairfax and into the arms of my heterosexual lifemate LEY. After some wine, convo, internet surfing and Korean BBQ (super yum) we made our way to the theater to see Transformers 3 which by the way AMAZING! The last like 30 minutes of the film my mouth was agape, easily the best movie of the franchise. However the highlight of the night was when we walked back to her car in an almost empty parking lot, opened all the windows and blasted the following song:
We had a two person rave in a town center parking lot in Fairfax it.was.awesome.
The next day which was sunday LEY, her fabulous roomate Jack and myself got dolled up and headed into DC to U st where Nellie's Sports Bar holds their weekly "Drag Brunch" featuring the Lady Boys of Drag City DC. Free Mimosas, great food, and these Divas lip syching for their lives! This girl was in heaven! After all that it was time for me to go home. The ride was way more enjoyable then the ride there, I got home around 10p then had to go into work at 2 am. It was a great weekend that I needed badly. I can't wait for a chance to make it up there again...............................................................................
Everyday I'm Shuffling.
Here are some pics and video from our sunday, funday.
*I love ^this picture of Ashley, she looks so purty!
Jammie
So I finally got a chance to get Tyler, The Creator's Goblin and my brother and I have been listening to it obsessively over the past week. What do I think of the album? It's great! As an album Goblin is better as a cohesive conceptual and production unit. However I think Bastard has better songs. But that's not saying that I like one better over the other they're both really good. People say what they want about Odd Future and Tyler but I think Tyler is immensely talented and it may not be realized now but I think in the future people will take notice just what this whole movement meant. So now the jammie of the day is currently my favorite song on the album by the name of "Fish".
Things that I Love
Have you seen Fran Drescher's new show "Happily Divorced"? Well you should. Why? Because it's Fran Drescher that's why! "Happily Divorced" is based on Fran's life where her husband of 18 years one day tells her that he is gay. Despite that they still live with each other and are very involved with each others lives. Fran is backed with a great supporting cast including the incomparable Tichina Arnold! The only thing that irks about Fran Drescher shows is that all of her characters names are Fran, I mean you couldn't come up with a different name? Whatevs this show is cute. I will leave you with a clip. Fran is meeting with some clients about flowers for their wedding and Fran's DAR is going nuts.
