Where U at?

Ear Candy 4 Me

got some ear candy today. two of the albums are kinda suspect. the first one Van Hunt - Van Hunt, i grabbed it because it made jb's top 10. i don't recall an album that has had such mixed reviews. the second piece that I pray is half as good as her first one is Esthero - We R in need of a musical ReVoLuTIoN. i hope she spent as much time on the six tracks as she did in spelling ReVoLuTIoN. i tried to figure out what it means. first lets take all caps RVLTIN = revolting. lowercase eouo = sh*t. what am i missing? only thing i see is that on the consonants are in caps in revolution. sh*t maybe it is revolting. if anyone knows get back @ me. anyway the reviews on this one are not mixed at all. most people are say it taste like straight doo doo. had to get it just off the way the first one melted in my ears. i also scooped up ZAP MAMA - Ancestry in Progress. i already had a compilation  with Bandy Bandy ft. Erykah Badu, love that song. the last one that i picked up was a tasty little piece called Gaelle - Transient. i've heard some of her cuts on radio blogs, yet i am just tasting the whole piece. loved the samples that i've tasted so far. i know i'm a little behind, but i'm ahead on some other sh*t. will give each piece it's own little review in a few. if you have    something that your feelin let me know so i can taste it.

sa-wa DEE Krab B*TCHES

just got my Rosetta Stone learn Thai today. don't know why i picked Thai. part of my new year rez was to learn a second language. maybe this will lead to me and my girl taking a trip with "The Boys" to Thailand. maybe when they are older. tsss on their own dime.(how do you type tsss..... you know arched lip exhaling through your teeth )

Two Brothers

  i did my father one better. my brother and i are twelve years apart. CJ and Miles are 6 yrs apart. my post will be consumed by topics about "The Boys". Damn, if i started this years ago stories would have been sick. Now, sh*ts defiantly watered down. Will be mostly about music and the happs going on in Chicago. My sisters wedding should be a blog worthy event. Mardi Gras wedding back home for week, i'm ready to get back to the dirty for a week. Mobile,Al not New Orleans, for those who don't know it originated in Mobile. i will be in New Orleans for Fat Tuesday for sure.

4. Sade - I Couldn't Love You More (song to my wife)

5. Raphael Saadiq - Still Ray (f*ckin tuba reminds me of high school and college)

5. Who are you gonna pass this stick to (three persons and why)?

ej I always check to see what his vibing to

tyranny Dude listens to f*ckin everything a curious to see whats in his rotation.

My brother would be the third because dude has pretty good taste. It's in the blood.

crazy monkey roll

if you live in Chicago area and like sushi defiantly check out RA Sushi. all i can say is sh*ts good. i liked the crazy monkey roll and sashimi assortment. if you are like me with kids and can't close down the city when u go out this is a great place to chill. the vibe is cool on Saturday nights. good music and they serve food late. i will post pictures taken there later.

b boy stance

it is mind boggling how much this kid of mine just oozes charisma and cockiness. miles is the perfect name for him. his love for music may be as great as mine. i think he will be more on the creative side than i. when we are listening to music he sways, gyrates, bops, nods, taps hands-knee-leg like someone well beyond his years. his ear for whats real and whats not is f*ckin freaky. if something to over the top or just plain garbage is played it leads to him either exits the room or turning off the tuner or this.   

I'm Trippin R U?

there is no better invention than the itrip for my ipod.

i don't think i've played anything since getting the aya album.(aya - strange flower) i have played for the last three weeks straight and been the best f*ckin mood. this album is just plain feel good music. makes you want to fall back in love or in love, hold hands again, dance by yourself. maybe its just me. i'm going to put this as my album of the year now. it will take a monster of an album to budge it.

sh*ts cold

the temp here in the Chicago is 8 above, but feels like -1. sh*ts cold. way to cold for a cat from Alabama. question, i have now lived in Chicago for more than half of my life, so am i from Alabama or Chicago?
