VAMPIRE WEEKEND

So ever since I was introduced to their music I've been a pretty lasting fan. Their self-titled album was great I enjoyed almost every song, then I listened to Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist Soundtrack and they were on the tracklist and unsurprisingly they did not fail to "BRING IT"!

So I was on www.hypebeast.com and they posted a new single from their upcoming album and boy its different from their other songs but the song brings the same heat as the others, brings the same hardworking talent, and brings the same effort which makes Vampire Weekend that much better in my eyes check out the new video to their single "Cousins"

BREATH OF FRESH AIR

Seeing as MUSIC in 2009 is being labeled as... (RUN DOWN, DRAGGED ON, REPEATED, UNSKILLED, NO HARDWORK PUT IN, DISTASTEFUL, AND JUST PLAIN PATHETIC). I've heard it all this year and in my opinion I cant but AGREE with the words they said to describe MUSIC OF 2009. But then you dig a little bit deeper, you search a little bit further and you find the total opposite of what people said to describe the downfall of music, you find the pleasent good that you missed all this year, the nostalgia you feel when the vibrant easy going groovin and moovin tunes is swiftly flowing through your ears, the joy that flows through your body that lets you know the World isn't turning into a BROKEN RECORD and a PLACE THAT STRIVES ON "FOLLOWING", here's a few people TO ME that have been that fresh air I've been longing for..




DOM KENNEDY
This guy reminds me of a modern SLICK RICK or Q-TIP, his delivery is so smooth and effective, best of both worlds if you ask me.



_________________________________________________________________



PAC DIV (Pacific Division)
I heard these guys ever so often but what got me was "Church League Champions", man that cd is NICE. I listened to it 3 weeks straight without getting sick of it. They deliver a new sound, like how Hip-Hop is suppose to sound in 2009 - 2010.

LYKKE LI
When I used to work at Urban Outfitters I remembered it was a day when I was in the fitting room doing my duties when all of a sudden a album was played and the songs where very slow and the voice sound like it came from a little girl, singing in her room by herself haha, that was my first impression but hearing more of her album I realized she had a gift, a gift no one else could carry, and thats a blessing in my eyes.

JOHN WEST
A day out with friends, on a mission to clear our heads, and next to a guy with a guitar, a table with his cd's, and of course people waiting to see what he was going to bring to the table, in my mind I'm like ah man I dont feel like hearing this when I'm trying to clear all this nonsense. Little did I know when this Man started playing his songs it actually HELPED me clear everything I was thinking of. By watching this youtube you'll understand why and how it cleared everything faster than expected.

CARTER
I remember this dude back when he collabed with DOM and PAC DIV, but I never really gave his project's a listen, but when I finally did, I knew I did the right thing. This guy can bring it. A Houston Soulful Voice with a Cali Swag, psshhhh what you know about that? HAHA!



GOOD MUSIC RIGHT? I KNOW LOL!

THE TRUTH HURTS?

I was riding my bike a lil passed Crenshaw & Jefferson, when I came across this sign, now I'm a true believer in Christ and I understand that alot of people have their own beliefs and I respect that, but you got to give it to this church for trying to get people to come to church and find CHRIST, they were very clever for this, and I back it up 100%, I just had to share it with you all.

NAVY "BLUES CLUES"

YANKEE COLORED DODGERS HAT, "JACKPOT"!!!! HAHAHAHA!

BASKETBALL IS BACK

Seeing as the 09 - 10 NBA season has arrived, something made me go on Youtube and look up two of my long time favorite NBA players in action with their memorable GOLDEN highlights, and decided to share them with you all.. awwww how nice of me riiiighhhtt? LOL LETS BEGIN...

Michael "AIR" Jordan, the pioneer of his craft, the definition of NBA basketball, the KILL in skill because he kills any defense technique or the opponents coaching ideas, check the 80's Slam Dunk Contests with him vs. Domonique Wilkins (twice) and him vs. Jerome Kersey, ENJOY Jordan and his AIRNESS LOL...."IT'S GOTTA BE THE SHOES" HAHA!

___________________________________________

Now onto Earvin "MAGIC" Johnson, maaan seeing players these days like Steve Nash or Jason Kidd with sick creative passes that are EFFECTIVE, I would wonder... how can they think of something so effective during fast break basketball? NOW lookin @ the video I realized its just the past repeating itself, EARV was the one with the groove handles and the sleek creative passes that has the opposing team like questionable. It was Earv's mastermind that enlightened guards such as Nash and Kidd to embark into their own stlyle of effective passing.

P.S. I'm going to leave you guys with an extra gift, who remembers this? CLASSIIICCC LOL!

SONG OF THE MONTH: NOVEMBER

This song explains alot by life, seeing as I was young and always out, always partying, but now that I'm getting older I'm getting more wiser, I need to get my life together because I can be gone tommorow, I need to get this career started and begin my ADULT LIFESTYLE. But basically whatever i'll be doing im still going to be the SAME ME when I was free to do whatever, SAME OL' G! SAME OL' JAyP! I guess this song basically explains the whole concept of this blog..... ENJOY, this video may bring back all kind of nastalgia from back in the day lol because this was the JAM back then.

GARY GLOVER

While I was reading on about the EPIC MICKEY VIDEO GAME, I noticed Gary Glover's work, I couldnt take my eyes off his work, it is so vibrant and just unrealistically surreal to watch. I'm determined I can get this good in the future, I must!!! Check his beautiful work out for the EPIC MICKEY GAME.

These are my TWO favorite

SICK RIGHT? LOL

EPIC-TOPIC

Everyone sees Disney as the mystery place to step out of things that trouble you, out of that stressful place of living, out of that stressful job/career, away from anything bad, away from just LIFE PERIOD, its like a fantasy island where you can just let it all go and just be a KID again. But its weird almost rediculous to see or believe Disney as shall I say DARK, EVIL, EMO, WAR/ FIGHT type vibe... well, I started believing after I saw that Warren Spector is bringin it to life with the help of Gary Glover's astonishing artwork in one magical crazy twist of a video game called "EPIC MICKEY" for the WII system. Basically Mickey travels back to the black-and-white cartoon and goes into battle against various familiar Disney characters. Very Similar to Kingdom Hearts, I believe this to be a success but the only thing that can make this look like a bad move is Parents. Knowing that it is a game out being promoted letting their kids witness such adult type visuals of their favorite Disney characters, but I'm guessing in due time we will see when this game is finally released check the picture cover.

here is more information on EPIC MICKEY: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_Mickey

CASE OF "NAVY BLUE'S"

I dont know what it is but lately I fount a new favorite color, NAVY BLUE. The look just looks so elegant and sleek, it looks so sharp and clean cut, by viewing the baseball playoffs this year on and off gazing at the New York Yankees brim color it just felt like you witnessing your soon to be gf or wife, Me being a LA head and a Dodgers fan it made me mad that I could not get over that gorgeous ass color on the rivals jersey lol, or just looking at all my clothing that has navy blue in it and how sexy it looks... I dont know why im babbling on about a color but man.... IM LOVIN ME SOME NAVY BLUE LOL!
