An Epiphany

...I am about to start this off like one of those child preached sermonettes. About to dust off the Webster and give you a little definition. (clears throat..Ahem)

e⋅piph⋅a⋅ny [i-pif-uh-nee]
a sudden, intuitive perception of or insight into the reality or essential meaning of something, usually initiated by some simple, homely, or commonplace occurrence or experience.

Now if Chrisette Michele and her music is unbeknownst to you, then consider this your Epiphany.


I had the pleasure to accompany my homeslice, since baby Christ, Elvis, to the Chrisette Michele concert at BB King last week, and I must say it was Ah-May-Zing!

And yes the name is spelled wrong. smh.

But what the signage lacked in spelling it made up for in music, luster, and SHINE!
Not to mention Jesse Boykins III was the opening act, and performed "Panty Hose" with an overly shy female audience guest. (snickers)

Anywho...The album Epiphany is out TODAY (Cinco De Mayo) and for my special people's, it is only $2.99 at Amazon.com for a limited time only. So go out and experience your Epiphany Today!

This My JAMMM!!

Nah. For reals. This is my JAM! At least for the spring/summer '09. Mayor Hawthorne

"Just Ain't Gonna Work Out"

This video I think embodies an all too familiar ritual that we as humans are faced to succumb to at some point. Ah wells. Still cute.

And if this song is just to sappy for you, then I am sure that this next hit will be just perfect.

Le Le - Breakfast,

"Holla Holla Holla , Oatmeal and Granola!!!"

Honestly, I'm a little irate they didn't shout of Turkey Bacon, but it's all good because they used drawings made by Piet Parra. Yes...the same dude that designed the shirt for Jay Dilla and his moms.

Aww Sooky Sooky!

Maxwell's "Pretty Wings" must've have been made in dedication to my infamous "quickie naps." This video is so damn simple, but beautiful in what it has. Man I can't even speak, just look for yourself. Take me higher!!!



I think people are just fascinated with naps on a whole. This video is by Oren Lavie called "Her Morning Elegance" takes a different stance, using stop motion techonology.



I blame Starbucks for the worlds fascination with sleep, since now it has become a rarerity. Oh wells, that is why they reported a 70% decrease in sales in their last fiscal year. Take back your sleep people. Take it back NOW!!

Passion Pit

I am so in love with this song, and now that I have seen the video I think that it has me in it grips. I have this song set as my ringtone and I have missed several phone calls because I was too busy dancing to pick up the phone in time.

Anyways, this group Passion Pit I heard about through the whole SXSW hooplah, and I gotta say, loves it.



For a free download of the song, click here.

And this video is soo freakin' dynamic.

By the way am a compulsive paper ripper. they say the first step towards recovery is confessing that you have a problem, but i don't want to recover...so i take that back. "ripper paper compulsive a am i greenpea is name my hi." let's pretend like this never happened.

Ol' Skool Company

The artist formerly known as Prince, but always known to me as AMAZING performed last night on Jay Leno. Ahhh!! I love this man. He still funkin' it out at his ripe age. Prince, can I be your purple rain???

DFC | Dante's Fried Chicken

I love this dude. RIPMC and I were just discussing this dude and his cooking. It is just magnificent to see my two favorite things come together, food & music. Dante you never cease to amaze me. Matter of fact, this past Sunday TIGGA performed at Santos' Party House for Dante' Fried Chicken. So, basically this dude collaborates with up and coming artists and creates eatery that is DEEVINE. In past episodes he even had Santigold. So, peep the latest webisode below. The movement is moving.

Who Did It Better???

According to Kanye's Blog, he has been working on the video below for the past month, although it is not the next single. Instead he claims he was forced to release said video due to somebody releasing a similar type. You decide.



This video by Chairlift "Evident Utensil" that I stole from Solange Knowles is very catchy. It lacks Kanye's Cosby reminiscent 80's sweater, but has trees and such. Iunno. I kinda like them both. Either way these videos look like the director was trippin' out on some concentrated Unicorn blood mixed with some NyQuil, nah means.
