New Fav Music Vid: "Ass Back Home" Gym Class Heroes ft. Neon Hitch

This track is the second single from the east coast based band, Gym Class Heroes.

The first time I heard this song, I was in my friend's car in L.A.  It took a moment for the song to click with me, but now I've fallen in love with it--just like L.A.  In some small way, I consider this to be a love song between myself and the city of angels.

New Fav Music Vid: "Blue Sky" by Common

So happy to have Common's full presence back in the game. This song is beautiful, insightful and very motivational.  Don't only enjoy, but enlighten yourself!

I had these dreams in my head of an endless fear
I could see it from my window
Wouldn't take that long to get me there
Keep running til' I can go
Remember the beautiful things that life could give me
Crazy how I'm the one
Could've been anywhere, but I'm sitting in the air
With the wheels up staring at the sun
Ohh, in the sky we'll find the light
Ohh, ain't too high we'll shine at night
Now we in the skies, blue skies
And we going higher, that's right

Thrift Store Finds: DeBarge, Nina Simone & Michael Jackson on Wax

My latest trip to the thrift store was a great one. I found three great albums that any lover of "black" music would enjoy having in their music library. And I was so pleased to finally find "Thriller" in its complete package at an affordable price.

Reminisce: Mariah Carey "My All (Remix)" & "The Roof" 1997-1998

The Butterfly years were my favorite Mariah time because she fused R&B, pop,

and hip-hop perfectly. This also brings back some sweet high-school memories.  Enjoy!
