Music = Love

So every now and then I discover a little known artist that does not get radio play (mainstram U.S radio that is) but is literally FIRE.I obsess about said artist by buying their album (as opposed to getting bootlegs for those that really don't need anymore of my money *coughKanyecough*) and posting them on my myspace page. My most current obsession has been SantoGold who is fucking AMAZING. She is so versitile and talented, you really can't label what type of music she is. i just discovered that she is MTV's artist of the week which is really great exposure for her, but also means that my obsession may wain b/c of her sudden rise to fame (which she SO deserves) so here I leave my favorite song of her's.




P.S She is NOT like M.I.A, if you listen to her whole album she goes places that M.I.A has not. No diss to M.I.A, bitch is FIERCE and is still one of the best. I am just tired of people claiming that Santo is trying to be like M.I.A.

Every moment wasted looking back keeps us from looking forward...



I ran as a daughter who benefited from opportunities my mother never dreamed of. I ran as a mother who worries about my daughter's future and a mother who wants to leave all children brighter tomorrows.

To build that future I see, we must make sure that women and men alike understand the struggles of their grandmothers and their mothers, and that women enjoy equal opportunities, equal pay, and equal respect.

Let us …resolve and work toward achieving very simple propositions: There are no acceptable limits, and there are no acceptable prejudices in the 21st century in our country.
