Sorry for not posting lately. I haven’t felt too inspired to blog until I came across this mini-episode of True Blood and just had to share! So excited for this season of True Blood! Here is the teaser:

If you watch “How to Make It in America” then you will recognize this track as the theme song. I’ve been waiting patiently until they released a music video to put up a post…and the day has come. The smooth-voiced singer, Aloe Blacc, is on the same record label (Stones Throw) as my boy Mayer Hawthorne who I introduced to you back HERE. If you dug Mayer’s vibe, then you will definitely like Mr. Blacc. Take a listen:

This is pretty hilarious. Poor little guy. I love the death stare the sister in the middle gives to her dad after he crushes her little brother’s dreams.

And you see a whole lot of Erykah!! Seriously, the fellas will enjoy this one. And the song…so dope! The ending is a little nuts though.

HBO has just begun their advertising campaign for Season 3 of True Blood and I’m so psyched!! This is arguable my favorite show right now and I am so ready to see what exploits the town of Bon Temps gets into this season. Below is a teaser:

My last post on Erykah Badu (here) introduced her new song with Lil’ Wayne which was pretty disappointing and quite surprising coming from such an amazing talent like Badu. “Window Seat” which will be the official first single of her upcoming album “New Amerykah Part Two”, brings Erykah back to the soulful and melodic driven beats that I love about her. I really dig it. Below is her live performance on Jimmy Kimmel (backed by The Roots Band, of course):

I was recently enjoying an amazing Sunday in Santa Monica, hitting up the Farmer’s Market, the beach and then getting my nails done when I happened across some art by I Luff Life. If anyone knows my art aesthetic then they know I am a huge fan of street art and graffiti. The artist (Lauren) uses paint and decals to make her one-of-a kind pieces. They are bright, fun and great for new art aficionados looking to build their collections. I was so in love with the art that I bought one on the spot! (the Nest piece above) Below are a few of my favorites. To learn more about I Luff Life, click HERE!

Take a minute to check out my good friend Ayler Young’s music video for his first single “Dream Girl” off his upcoming album “Back in the City”. It’s fresh, fun, flirty and the perfect song to set off spring! To learn more about this up and coming artist and to check out future tour dates, click HERE!

Wow. I guess this is pretty much par for the course with Gaga. I can’t help but draw comparisons to both Madonna and Michael Jackson throughout this video. Her look is Madonna circa her Blonde Ambition days and the storytelling side of the music video is reminiscent of MJ’s mini-movies he would create for every video he did.  I do like the overall look and feel, there are some points that are just too much, but then I guess it wouldn’t be a Lady Gaga venture if it wasn’t. Amazingly, I can even draw comparisons to Quentin Tarantino at points. Pussy-mobile much? Check it:
