This is just a test run of my new webcam, thinking of doing some vlogs in the future. This vlog represents something that is near and dear to MY heart. Enjoy.

Jammies

This is Santi's new single "Disperate Youth". Now THIS is the Santigold that I love. Her first single I was not a big fan of, but this right here is that jam. The countdown to her new album Master of My Make Believe is on, and I can hardly wait. Enjoy.

BONUS: Here is Santi and the making of her album cover. Sidenote: How hot does she look in that gold get up? Get it guuuurrrl


This song I stumbled upon while working at the radio station. I was making my rounds around the stations and I heard this pumping out the speakers at 96X. At first I thought it might be a new Weezer song, alas it was not. It was Jeff the Brotherhood and the song "Bummer". The song definitely gives me a Weezer feeling with a little bit of Grunge too, I would definitely be bumping this when the weather gets warmer (what am I talking the weather is already warm) Anyways I think I'm going to check out their album Champion.

Happy Belated Birthday To...

MEEEE!!!
So I turnt 27 this past tuesday and little fanfare was had this birthday season. The weekend before I had to work, I had to work that day, and I have to work this weekend so no super celebratoryness for me, which is cool. I was never a big "hey its my birthday let's party!" kind of person. My brother and I went to see the movie Wanderlust at this place called CineBistro (which is a really cool place, but if you plan to go and eat there, prepare to drop some duckets). Wanderlust was actually a pretty funny movie, all thanks to the amazingness that is Paul Rudd! Afterwards we went to Walmart and I got myself some and cake and ice cream. The end. And for gifts my bestie LEY is getting us some tickets to see LMFAO in DC on June 25!! OH SNAP! That's going to be when I celebrate my birthday for reals. I also got myself a new laptop. It's a Samsung something or another, and I just discovered today that it has a webcam! Hopefully pretty soon I will start doing some BugzBlawg Vlogs. So yeah that's what's up. Ok bye.

YMCMWTF?

So news broke not too long ago that the band Limp Bizkit, pioneers of "rap rock", hated by many, loved by others, has just signed to Cash Money Records. Cash Money has become a clusterf*&k of artists over the past few years with a few head scratching people to their roster of artists. Now let's just be clear that I was a huge fan of Limp Bizkit. The album Significant Other was the first album that I walked to the mall and purchased myself, so they have a special place in my heart. But...come on man. The whole Cash Money/Young Money enterprise is just doing the most right now. They literally have 500 people signed to the label and only like 4 or 5 people have released albums under that umbrella. I am personally annoyed when labels just sign and sign and sign people but the execution rate is just horrible. If your not Wayne, Birdman, Drake or Nicki Minaj, don't expect to have your jank released. If you actually DO make an album and have it come out, don't expect it to be promoted. In the end have to give it YMCMB because it's just so random and zany and I of all people appreciate random and zany. So in honor of LB getting signed to the greatest show on earth, here are some other people I hope get's signed to Cash Money. (as originally conceptualized on my twitter feed.)

Domino-At the height of the "G-Funk" in the early 90s Domino hit us with what is a minor hit, but definitely a ghetto classic. His brand up of Gangster azz R&B would be refreshing on the scene today.


Skee Lo-Mr. Lo had a pretty decent hit on his hands with "I Wish". This song relates to everyone cause don't we all wish we were a little bit something? I like to think that he is the pre cursor to "emo rap" because of his brutal honesty about his self image and his feelings. If there was no Skee Lo, there would be no Drake so it would be fitting to put the self aware emo rap pioneer on the YMCMB line up.


Adina Howard (on twitter I called her Anita Howard, oops)-this feisty lady laid it all out on the table and let her male conterpart know exactly how it is with her hit "Freak like Me". Since Nicki Minaj got all pop-py and is not nasty as she used to be let Adina be the freak nasty lady with a nice harmony behind it.


Semisonic-we all know the great song "Closing Time", it's timeless, it's for some reason getting more play in movie trailers now that it did when it came out in the 90s. Why should Cash Money sign them? Why not? They've signed damn near everybody else.



Lou Bega-I think Lou has a few Mambo's left in him.

Rammstein-because it would be funny. I bet Wayne is a Rammstein fan on the low.

I Miss You Man: Kittie

The other day I was going through my rolodex of cd's and I came across an unmarked burned disk. I put the disk into iTunes and it turned out to be Kittie's second album Oracle. Needless to say I had a very nostalgic moment. Kittie was a teenage all girl metal outlet (from canada!) with its peak prominence taking place in the early 00's. Kittie was basically living my rock and roll dreams. When I first started playing guitar at 16 my BFF Shelaine and I would sit in my basement (her playing the bass) and try to play Kittie songs (and also Sum41, don't ask). Kittie was a bad azz group of girls who could roll with the big boys (they toured with Sevendust,and Slipknot among many others). Unfortunately I never got a chance to see them live, I'm kind of glad though because I would just been so jealous of them. Like I said before they were living my dream. Now through countless changing band members (with sisters Morgan and Mercedes Lander being the only constant members) Kittie is still recording, touring and kicking your face in. I salute you Kittie, I salute you.



*Fallon was my idol, for real*

A$AP Rocky Concert

This past Thursday my brother and I made the trek up to Richmond to catch ASAP Rocky at The National. This was my first time at The National and its a pretty cool venue, a lot smaller than I expected but whatever. Now Tyrone and I vowed that we WILL NOT end up in the front for the show, and that's exactly where we wound up. I guess we just wanted to see how long we can last up there. So around 8:15 the opening act comes out, this dude named Joe Threat who's from Richmond. The beginning of his set had some promise he kicked an acappella at the beginning and the crowd was kind of rockin with him a little bit. By the the third or fourth song the crowd starting chanting "ASAP! ASAP!" and throwing ice at him. About 20 minutes into his set he was booed off the stage and the venue cut off his mic and closed the curtains on him (damn homie!) So after all that the crowd was hype cause it's all like ASAP will be out here in no time. NO! It took ol boy OVER AN HOUR to get out to the stage. Sure I was still hype by the time he came out but I was also kind of over it. Especially cause during the first song I almost lost my driver's license, debit card and camera. Tyrone and I went up the balcony and viewed the rest of the disappointingly short set from there. Aside from all that ASAP Rocky puts on a really good show, he has stage presence, great interaction with the crowd, good with the in-between banter, and he played all my favorite songs so I was good. After the short set it turned into a kind of impromptu dance party with his DJ playing some throwback tunes, but by that time Tyrone and I peaced out cause we had an hour drive back home. The highlight of the show to me would be me purchasing the ASAP crewneck seen above and a really good screwdriver I had at the beginning of the night. The main thing that I got out of this show, a conclusion that I have been coming to for a while is that I'm getting old. I'll be 27 years old next month and its become alarmingly clear that I have to move my old a$$ up to the balcony for now on. Being down on the ground level "in the pit" is for the young bucks and that just aint me anymore. :sigh: but i'll always have memories of all the great shows I've been to in my lifetime. The end.

But the Soul Train Line Will Live Forever

So this week (and on the first day of black history month no less) Don Cornelius commited suicide at the age of 75. This is sad news not only cause of a death of a true icon but the taking away of his own life just adds another layer of suck. Even though the Don is gone the Soul Train line will live on forever!!!!


LOL "Obama" @3:16^^
