Saturday spent lyrically...

and by lyrically, i mean, i was at poetry spots alllll weekend. Got fed, to say the least. Saw some really dope poets and this musical duo out of London, Indigo Brown...who were amazing, had voices like angels and i was taken back honestly. check: Indigo Brown

so, this new found position of mine makes me think like an interviewer...constantly. hmmm, what would that piece sound like...what issue could they fit in?? When all i wanted to do was enjoy the poets lol needless to say. These are a few that stuck out to me.

Selina Carrera

Denice Frohman

...though all the poets were great, their words made me think about MY life..and where I'm going, who I associate myself with, my work and passion...so, perhaps i spent my weekend deep in thought :)

just can't stop...

For my regular readers...you know i love discovering new music, sooo there is this group that my Pandora radio introduced me to...Handsome Boy Modeling School


Obviously they look like artists...bending the system, genres and molds the money making GREEDY record labels try to cultivate. But, I just love their song, I've been thinking...and i think you should check them out.

Also, speaking of bending the system...Q-Tip has an album coming out: The Renaissance coming out November 4th...new vibe, new sound, same flow ;) A Tribe Called Quest legend...you already know.Q-Tip Video, MOVE
enjoy... it's very dance-able! lol
