The Craft...The Musical?

So this morning I saw that they are planning to start a musical for The Craft on Broadway. At first I thought this could be kind of cool if it is done right. I mean The Craft is of course a cult classic and it kind of represented those girls in high school you know, that were like Wiccans, wore all black and stuff ( I know I hung out with them). I would think if they were to approach this from like a Queen of the Damned angle it might be pretty cool. So I found a Youtube channel with some clips of songs from the upcoming play. All I could think of when I saw this was like....Sister Act. The Craft is no Sister Act. So this is no longer something I think is going to be cool. I dunno, you be the judge. P.S We love you Skeet Ulrich. Skeet.Skeet.

The Song For Your Weekend

So my former lover Mayer Hawthorne is coming out with a new album soon, which is very exciting. (there is so much good music coming out/out, its a bit overwhelming in the best way possible). The single that dropped a couple of days ago "Her Favorite Song" will no doubt be your favorite song guuurl, if your a bad mama jamma. So download this, drive around at 7 o'clock this evening with your windows down and thank Gawd you don't have to deal with work for at least a little while. P.S I told you we were lovers....at least for an hour...in my head.

"For Colored Gworls Whose 30 Minute Lunch Ain't Enuff" An Excerpt

I have recently been inspired to write a premise to a non existent stage play. Here is a monologue and the climax to the play. "8 hours, 8 hours a day, I talk, I listen, I resolve. You mean to tell me that I only have 30 minutes for lunch! By the time I take a leak, and heat my meat, my lunch is complete! This can't be right, I say with all my might, this can't be right! I need to breath, I need to watch TV, I need time for ME! This is a struggle that all of us face. This is a struggle for colored gworls of all races! I've lost all my patience! This has become too much! This is For Colored Gworls Whose 30 Minute Lunch Ain't Enuff!!!"

Album Review: Kid Cudi Indicud

Hello all, it has been a ridiculously long time since I last wrote on this thing. Quite a few things have happened but I will get to that on another post (well, maybe). This post is about one of my husbands (in my head) latest album. So far April has been an amazing month for music. Tyler, The Creator with Wolf and Depeche Mode with Delta Machine . Both albums I will be purchasing in the very near future. The album that I was most excited about was Kid Cudi's Indicud! This is technically Cudi's fourth album but his "rock" album WZRD, although ballsy, was just not good. And that's coming from not only a super Cudi fan, but a fan of rock music. Sorry boo, it just wasn't good. So people were excited to hear that Cudi was getting back to Cudi. Not only that but he announced that he will be producing all the tracks himself. Personally I was a bit afraid, this is the first album that Cudi's previous production partners Pat and Emile, who shaped the "Cudder" sound would not be involved in. Long drawn out album review short, this album is pretty amazing. Although Cudi's production can be a bit clunky or busy, there is beauty that can be found in this. One great example is the song "Young Lady" where it literally sounds like 2 songs going on at once, somehow, it works. There is also an element of surprise with the totally random and amazing collaboration with Micheal Bolton MICHEAL BOLTON! The song "Afterwards (Bring Yo' Friends) is giving me 90s R&B club infused realness. Simply put I am throughly impressed with this being Cudi's first full foray into producing and this is the result. I'm happy to be a Cudder fan since the beginning as seen in this post from '09. I LOVE YOU CUDI!

Jammies

Here are a few songs that I am into at the moment. Would you mind if I shared with you? Oh you DO mind? You have something else to do? HOW RUDE! Anyway here we go. Up first is Dr Dre's latest protege Kendrick Lamar. He's been bubbling for the past couple of years and his debut Aftermath album is supposed to be coming out later this year. This is his first official single "Swimming Pools (Drank)". Kendrick has an amazing way with words and storytelling. Almost every song I have heard from him has substance to it. It is in no way preachy, more like a case study. He is something that is well needed it today's (mainstream) hip hop. Up next Zebra(f-ing)Katz ft Njena Reddd Foxxx "Ima Read". This song is EVERYTHING!!! "Ima chop that b!tch, Ima slice that b!tch, Ima ice that b!tch" YASSS! The library is CLOSED Lastly, this song is my guilty pleasure song. If you have not heard of Kreayshawn well let me try to give you a short summary. Random white girl from Oakland who directs videos and "raps". She came to youtube fame last year for her song "Gucci Gucci" and from that one song she signed a rumored 1 million dollar record contract. Since then she has had a series of fails (starting 'beef' with Rick Ross, harshly criticized stage performances) and embarrassments (several dismal freestyle sessions) But girl still has an album to make and a contract to fulfill right? So I guess this is her ofiicial official first single "Go Hard". When I first saw this video I cringed. I mean lets face it, this chick can't rap for sh!t. Then something started happening, I started nodding my head. This song is friggin catchy I can't lie. Plus its an eye catching video, and she's a cute girl, that'll get you everywhere. So sit back, drop your inhibitions and actually enjoy this.

Current Obsession

I have spoke about Azalea Banks before on this blog. Since then it had went to a mere interest into a full blown OBSESSION. It all started with her song "Liquorice" from her 1991 EP, but then it was cemented with her current Fantasea mixtape. This girl has this "vogue rap" ish on lock! She is like the best elements of Kid Sister and old school Lil Kim. Although her attitude leaves little to be desired at times, this chick is super talented. Hopefully she can keep her self in check long enough to really make a heavy impact on the scene. Now here's some vids A beautiful genius made this mash video of the drag ball scene classic Paris Is Burning and her song Fierce And this is my current fave from the mixtape "Chips" Also she has been named the muse for high fashion designer Alexander Wang. Get it.
