An Artist As Creative As Her Name

Imogen Heap, weird name, yes I know. But her creative genius makes up for what she lacks in the aesthetics of her naming. While surfing through the time absorbing abyss that is twitter I stumbled upon her page. Intrigued by her 140 character summaries of her daily activities, I check out her YouTube page and was pleasantly surprised when I discovered this little gem.




I couldn't believe that one person could possibly create such as awesome sound all by herself. Wow. So, it turns out this chick is just as eccentric as her clothing. If you look below at her Vlog, she describes her creative process.

For instance, she hits light panels in her studio to record the sound of the dead flies bouncing up and down, and incorporates them into her tracks. Damn, she has lots of time on her hands.

B-R-O OK!!

Brooklyn mos' def' goes hard. They demonstrate their swagger whenever they get the chance. And Jay-Z and Santo demonstrates their swagger in the following video....


Although I definitely enjoyed this video, and it reminded me a little of my homie Salena from Germany, who ain't from Bro-OK! but she got swagger, and creates magic with the swivle of her mouse.

BRo-OK!

Rhode Island's Hero

Just when I thought that the only thing that was heroic about Rhode Island was Family Guy, came along Theo. Yes, it is just Theo. Not to be confused with the older brother of the Huxtables.

The young Rhode Island protegee has a flow like I haven't heard since the water like flow of RIPMC, but real recognizes real, and this dude right here is really real.

This hero likes to relay random facts on his mixtape. For example, according to Theo nothing happens to you if you swim after you eat, starfish have no brains, and roaches can survive several days after you break off their head. I not to sure 'bout that. But one random fact I can confirm is he claims he "got the M-E-T-H-O-D man," and I co-sign 100%

Enjoy, and your welcome.

The New Yacky Perm...

...can't do this. Hair was never so interesting. I must have not been really living before I saw some real 'ish like this. I wan't my hair to do that.

Better Than Turkey

Talib Kweli, Res, and Graph Nobel new video "Black Snake Moan" off of their project Party Robot. This video was filmed at club Rehab NYC. Another reason why New York is so thankful this holiday.

And if you want to have a live experience, Idle Warship is performing at BB King's in NYC on December 22nd.
My favorite part was seeing was seeing Ibrahim Yaqut, my favorite male model/artist right now. [drooling] Aiight let me go start on this turkey, all this drooling got me hungry. Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Kickin' New Flava In Ya' Ear!!

Well to some this is new flavor, and to others this flava is as familiar as the taste of Hi-C on an elementary school lunch break. But definitely had to put you on to Muhsinah.

She is a modern day experimenter, and I don't mean that she is a scientist, but the works she creates seems like new discoveries. Maybe she should be nominated for a Nobel Prize, but it seems that magazines such as XLR8R and TRACE, have given her due props, and I co-sign 100%.

Peep the video Construction below...this is my favorite one!!

Her albums "Daybreak" and"The Oscillations" are currently available on iTunes.

Swedish Fish < Swedish Music

It seems that currently Sweden is producing more than just their Red 40 dye colored sweets...

...they are producing another treat. Swedish music has managed within a short span of years to cultivate my groupie longings for artists such as Lykke Li, Lo-Fi-Fnk, Robyn, Little Dragon, & the Teddybears.

Let's starts off with my personal favs, Lo-Fi-Fnk, they are like an androgenous version of Uffie on 'shrooms. I swear I am addicted.

Lykkie Li is like Mary-Kate Olsen on acid, with a little bit more meat on her bones.

Then I had to join a 12-step program to get myself off of my Robyn addiction. But I've relapsed, she had my heart since I was in JHS listening to her teenie bop "If You Really Want Me" but honestly you gotta commend her for constantly switching up the style and always leaving you guessing.

Listening to Little Dragon is like taking a trip through Erykah Badu's third eye accompanied with a mp3 player blasting a live performance of a Swedish fish flavored Jack Davey with a psychedelic tambourine player.

The Teddybears are like .... well they just are. DON'T JUDGE THEM!

Birth Of The Cool Revisited

So..... I make music, right. And theres this new project I'm working on, right. In fact, its the music your hearing right now, coming from the play list on the right side of the screen. I know what your thinking "yo this sht is mad hot son!"...yeah your right, it is. These are actually 3 songs from: Rebirth Of The Cool. The project is a Miles Davis inspired (Birth Of The Cool) music mix tape, in which I take my favorite songs and flip them, or, remix them. Hence the name.
Enjoy them. They're yours to listen to. Your welcome.
