swimming

if you've read my blog before and you don't rock with little dragon by now, FAIL.

lyrics to go.

every now and then
i get a feeling
like i've left something behind me
but i don't know what it is yet.

like a tied a piece of string
round my finger
and i hope this will remind me
of the places i have been through

when i'm down
down
down

the noisettes are my new obsession.

elaquent

free downers = love.

the beauty created.

usually i'm a love hater and i get easily annoyed listening to r&b music because it's so fucking cliche and sappy.

but for some odd reason i've been listening to this album today.
his voice reminds me of the moment when you wake up [sans alarm] and the sun is softly shining in the room as you just quietly lay in the bed.

i'll write about something substantive next time...something has def. been grinding my gears lol

maaaaaajor laaaaazer

anyone who knows me knows that i looooooove diplo. and now he's putting out an album with uk dj switch under the collective name of major lazer.

the bio of "major lazer" on 'rcrdlbl' reads

Major Lazer is a Jamaican commando who lost his arm in the secret Zombie War of 1984. The US military rescued him and repurposed ... (more) experimental lazers as prosthetic limbs. Since then Major Lazer has been a hired renegade soldier for a rogue government operating in secrecy underneath the watch of M5 and the CIA. His cover is that of a dancehall night club owner from Trinidad and he enlisted the help of long-time allies and uber-producers, Diplo and Switch, to produce his first LP. His true mission is to protect the world from the dark forces of evil that live just under the surface of a civilized society. He fights vampires and various monsters, parties hard, and has a rocket powered skateboard.
As part of a plan to subdue the forces of evil with a batch of futuristic dancehall bangers, the three encamped at Tuff Gong Studios in Jamaica to record the Major Lazer record. The product of this collaboration is Guns Don’t Kill People… Lazers Do, a collection of tracks that draws from the rich dancehall tradition of Jamaica, the futuristic dance-floor-killing aesthetic of Diplo and Switch, and contributions from some of the biggest names in dancehall today. The record runs global pop culture through the filter of Major Lazer’s particular brand of 80’s-inspired digital dancehall, at once an homage to a bygone era and a look to the future of dance music.

p.s. imeem sucks.

jesus christ. the song they dropped with santigold and the album mix has been on repeat in el zune since it was released. why must i wait until june?!?!?!

cee-lo green and his perfect imperfections.

i remember when i first saw this video, i was 13 and i thought that 106 & park/trl was the utmost in music and entertainment i was like "ew this is weird"




but now i know how ridiculously dope cee-lo is and his album 'cee-lo green and his perfect imperfections' has been on repeat for the past week




-well damn 'lo, what don't you do?
-bullshit!

*on that note i'll stop bullshitting and write this paper, lol

love.

from 3:10 on makes my world.

obsessive

am i the only person who goes through periods where you listen to one song/album obsessively for like a week until you find another song/album to be obsessed with. it can be a new joint or one i've known for a while.
and this week it's this song


Sundown - Daedelus

chromeo + zune = yes.

two step, two step, two step.

*ugh midterms.

honey.

so i've been using oyin [which is yoruba for honey] products for about 2 years now. hands down the best products ever and i love it that much more now that i'm naturalizing and shit. it makes it ohhhhhhhh so easy. i refuse to use cheaper, generic hair products [i've tried and they don't compete] which is probably why i'm so broke most of the time. but the prices aren't too bad, nothing is more than $11 in its regular size, however i tend to stock up on the large sizes which runs me about $18 per bottle of conditioner. but it's sooooooo worth it.

it's made by a husband and wife duo out of baltimore. and everything is handmade fresh right when you order it. and they send you a piece of honey candy with every order.

it really doesn't matter what type of hair texture you have.
when i permed my hair the conditioner made de-tangling obsolete and my hair air dried straight for the most part. now it just defines the natural curl pattern of my hair and makes it extra silky soft and obedient. if they went out of business i would just die...or i would drive to baltimore and force them to tell me exactly how to make everything.

i'm not quite sure why i just felt compelled to rave about this.
hopefully it's useful to someone.

*exiting girly mode now*

i hate living in nc.

simply because concerts and limited release movies are not seen here.



i REALLY want to see this movie.
she looks like a young lynn whitfield and i freaking love wyatt.
i have a feeling that it will become one of my favorites after i see it.

he gon' think i'm a ho.

no this isn't relevant to my life.
i was listening to the love below [lover hater, happy valentine's day and all] and thought this interlude would make the perfect short. lo and behold...youtube has all.

the version in my brain had a much better execution, but it serves the purpose.
i want to shave her head though.

the dresden soul symphony

i said was going to stop downloading shit and just letting it sit for months before getting around to listening to it. well i only waited a month for this one...i'm improving, lol








great for a bourgie negro get together
[and lulz @ tweet's stank sangin' face. i'm just glad she got a gig, i was wondering what happened to her]

today is a good day.

My President is Black in fact he’s half white/
So even in a racist mind he’s half right/
Even in these racist times we alright/
My President is Black but his house is all white.

Rosa Parks sat so Martin Luther can walk/
Martin Luther walked so Barack Obama can run/
Barack Obama ran so all the children can fly/
So I’m a spread my wings you can meet me in the sky/
I already got my own clothes already got my own shoes/
I was hot before Barack imagine what I’m gonna do.

Hello Miss America, hey pretty lady/
Red white & blue flag wave me for me baby/
Never thought I’d say this shit, baby I’m good/
You can keep your puss I don’t want no more Bush/
No more wars nor more Iraq/
No more white lies my President is Black.

- Jay-Z


am i the only one that can see barry vibing like shit to this on the sneak when nobody is around.




i heart jay smooth. he's my second favorite half black man.

on repeat.

late pass.

blahblahblah
i haven't blogged [or done much of anything lately] because i have nothing to talk about
and i've been distracted by the newest love of my life.
[the zune, not reggie bush]


i bought [yes, bought] a new album a few days ago. i'm kinda miffed that i accidently copped the edited version. if someone wants to send me the unedited that'd be pretty great.
excuse my lateness but it's pretty awesome. i had the mixtape sitting on my desktop for quite some time but never actually listened to it, but had been blasting the stay up! [viagra] remix for a little bit. i finally just broke down and bought the mp3 album because i got paid and felt like i shouldn't be a pirate for once.


i feel like i have been out of school for forever and there is still another week left until it starts back. yay?

it's a little dragon kind of day.

huzzah.
nothing to do but drive around and stimulate the economy with my mental jukebox on this album makes me content.
