JULIAN WOLKENSTEIN

The horses called, and said they said their are reclaiming what is rightfully theirs.

I guess on this Martin Luther King Jr. "birthday" celebration, everyone is reclaiming their rightful place in society, and the horses are doing taking their fair share of the pie.

We have to thank for this wonderfully ironic art the person of Julian Wolenstein, who is an Australian photographer. He works with clientele as common as Burker King to those as upscale as VOGUE Australia.
I guess that mix of humor and art is demonstrated in his photography. My favorite is "Yawning is Contagious."
Truely it is. "YAAWWWWNNNN." Peep the rest of his works in his virtual gallery.

And another little token that should claim its rightful place is this little sneak peek from the "This Charming Mixtape":

Ciao!

Colin Munroe: Piano Lessons

So Colin Munroe has released Unsung Hero Mixtape [Marked Music/Rowdy Records; 2009], as you already know if you keep up with this blog, and on it is this beauty "Piano Lessons" produced by Black Milk. Personally, I loved this song when I heard it on the mixtape because it was so simple. Did you peep the Dr. Seuss's Put Me In a Zoo book? Interesting way to transmit a message.

Mr. Munroe with his sarcastic hook "Don't bet on me, I'm a long shot," I think summarizes the thought in all of our heads when we are forced to do something. But don't forget, "In a million, you might be the one." So, on that note, I am going to attempt at playing my little dusty keyboard, wish me luck! haha!

By the way, Theophilus London put on a wonderful performace last night at Webster's Hall Studio. He definitely jumped into the crowd and onto my head, but it was all LOVE! I am soo anticipating This Charming Mixtape, dropping January 26, 2009.

Jazz in the Key of Soul

Pete Kuzma is a jazz cat and a master keyboardist. He work is amazing, don't take my word for it, peep this live perfomance of him and Jill Scott in Paris...



He has produced for artists like Herbie Hancock, Jewel, Jill Scott, Raheem Devaughn, Dwele, and Bilal. And since I am such a soul-head I definitely dug his style from the beggining.

Peep this joint he did with Bilal called "High and Dry" by clicking the picture below...

Pete now resides in London, I am hoping to hear more from him in the new year, hopefully a collaboration with D'Angelo...ohh!!!

I'll probably be singing this as I beat everybody in bowling today!! HAHA! Suckkkaaass!!

When I Say Writer's, You Say Block...

I usually like to ramble in my blogs. But words would not do justice to how fookin' fantabulous the Poetry Party was last night. If you were not there, man...you missed out. You might as well just say that you suck at life. Hahahah!!

But honestly, I think that my homie King Texas, the artist extraordinaire, did more justice to this event through her art than I could ever do.

So behold that which is Writer's Block, and make sure you peep Texas' page for more of her photography. I swear it is magic!

Okay, but I do gotta say this one thing, (you know I can't help myself), but Melo-X killed the 1's and 2's. And Theophilus London, put on a performance that would take you to another dimension. Peace Kings!

WRITER'S BLOCK POETRY PARTY!!

The day is finally upon us...

Come through tonight at the Bowery Poetry Club at 10 p.m.

Need I say more??

"Be There or Be Circle"

It's WINTUK Baby!!

Just came back from Cirque Du Soleil: Wintuk, and it was frikkin' amazing. I mean like I really believe in magic now. So let me give you a little history, before I start buggin' out on this blog giving you mad details.

Cirque Du Soleil, means Circus of the Sun in French, which makes sense since this is a traveling entertainment group from Canada. Okay that is all the details I will give you, if you wanna find out more, you gotta do like Teyana Taylor says "Google me."

So I went to the show in Madison Square Garden, and I had seats so fookin' close I could smell the Canada on their clothes.

Anyway, yeah the show had acrobates, breakdancing dogs,

...talking lamposts, trampolines, and bunch of other hot 'ish. They also had a live orchestra playing in the adjacent walls, but they were mostly out of view.

They even had dude doin' BMX tricks on their bikes, guys on skateboards, and rollerblades.

All in all, the whole point of the show was about a little boy in a city where it didn't snow, so he went to this magic place to find snow, and did (obviously). And at the end, they made it snow in the theatre. It was really a great show, def check it out before it's gone.
