Just 3 or 30 more things Santa, I Promise.

I know…I said I would stop with the blackberry. I lied. Sue me.

While Google image searching the cover for Brandy’s new album, I came across a bunch of other albums that are dropping in December that I really want. These don’t even really count as gifts more as stocking stuffers. So, Santa can you hook up?

There has to be some sort of sale going on at amazon.com, or Wal-Mart, or iTunes, some shit. Just make sure I get these, and not the bootleg copy.

 

Thanks in advance Black, White, or Latino Santa…

Just Watch Jazmine

My Grammy Re-Cap

They were boring….As usual, but I couldn’t stop watching. I did however mute the TV a few times and talk to the moms. I wish I would have written this last night. My memory would have been fresher. But I do remember that Tina Turner had no neck, and thinking that’s Beyonce in 50 years. John Legend had to play on a fisher price piano (pretty sad). Aretha Franklin. Yellow. Birds. School Bus. She had a neck but its lost somewhere underneath the excess weight (I assume that will be Kelly in 50 years) Amy Winehouse is a genius. A drunken crack head but a genius. A 5-time award winning drunken crack head genius. Kanye West is an asshole. Gods knows if my mother died I would want someone to feel my pain and I would want to pay tribute to her. but if you really believe that your mother is an angel I’m pretty sure shes watching you more than just at the Grammys save it for you bedtime prayer. But I like the battery-pack jacket. Won’t catch me wearing one anytime soon but its still nice. Alica Keys sang to many songs. and why did she bring John Mayer on stage if he was only going to sing background. What a waste! Why did the show have a built in reality contest. I don’t care about those people. when did they get famous or nominated. Why didn’t Ledisi win any awards? Why didn’t they let Jill preform? That Beetles thing was weird but now I want to watch Across the universe. After 10 grammy’s they should stop letting people win. like Alicia Keys. Where the hell did Morris Day come from and doesn’t he look like Rhianna’s daddy (if I spelled her name wrong so what?). I don’t remember any rappers being apart of the show. Bring back Outkast. I think they gave out like 6 awards that’s pretty sad for a 3 hour show. and why did Herbie Hancock win album of the year? I don’t know 50 people who bought that album. Amy Winehouse rocked but it was live from London and that’s no fun. She looks like her mother. and it reminds me that time is not your friend. Carrie Underwood is dry like a turkey sandwich on wheat bread in the desert during a drought and so was that other country guy. Fergie can’t sing, and I still can’t get over John Legend on the tiny ass piano. I skipped doing homework for that. Now I feel like a loser.But I’m not.

Waiting for Erykah Baud’s new Cd to drop,

Live From Paris

 Jill, Jill, Jill, Jill Scott!!!!

There are few people in the music industry (or world) that can do what this woman does on a consistent basis. She makes music that fills up you like home cookin’,  sprinkled with a wisdom that is only found on front porches filled with grey haired elders, warmed by Sunday morning self-reflection, served with a savory undeniable sensuality and eroticism that one can only learn with age, and finished by a nurturing tone that reminds you that everything will be alright, despite the  situation. I can’t say enough about Jill. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing her  in concert TWICE (with hopes of a third over spring break), and each time is just as magical as the first(imagine if you could lose your virginity each time minus the awkwardness). When she’s on stage, Ms. Scott has the power to wrap you in her words and forces you to share the experience. That’s a true artist! I now have the chance to share that with you. Watch the clip and tell me Jill is not mean on the microphone. And no I don’t work for Jill’s promo team but I dare anyone to buy one of her Cd’s and not become an instant fan.

Groovin’
