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.

We go back like babies and...

So I would not label my self a real "Mariah Fan" or anything like that. I would not stand out in the rain waiting for concert tickets, get a butterfly tattoo, or make her a scrap book to show off on MTV cribs. But honestly I grew up on the woman! I hear a song and can distinctly remember major events in my life. So gearing up for her new album (don't hate) I was going back and looking at some old music videos. I can't really chose a favorite, but this one really stuck out for me. It did not get much air time, and if you think about her greatest hits you would prob not mention this song, but it defines my middle school/freshman highschool life. I love it, aint no shame in my game. And the limo scene reminds me of the Fiona Apple song Criminal, which is fucking A-Mazing! That is a whole nother post, but I really was never able to appreciate that song (criminal) until my college years.

Here is the Mariah video...enjoy.

Help Me Help Them

I know I talk about music, movies, pop culture and my personal life on this blog...but this time...it's for a good cause.

On April 27th I will be taking part in the SPCA of AA County's Walk for the Animals 2008.

Me and my puppeh will be raising money for an animal shelter. Look for details here and if you would like to donate any cent is going to help!!http://www.aacspca.org/walk/


I know this is not for Pedigree (even though what they do is great) but in the end it is the same cause. Watch Video below;

The song I HATE to *cough*love*cough*

Gaaaaaaaah!!!! I can't stop playing this song! Damn you Mariah!!!! Again I think it speaks to my inner Gay man. No really, Mariah IS everything that is "girly", she is rainbows, butterflies, pink frilly pillows, those heels with puffy feathery stuff women wear while in bras and panties, pink lip gloss, small yapping dogs, and wind blowing through perfect hair .

She is EVERYTHING I am not. I am black nail polish, silver jewlery, black secretary glasses, and clumping mascara at the end of the night. The only thing I own that is pink is some frilly underwear that only a select few lay eyes on.

I was a good fan of her up until after that Honey period she had going on, after that it's been more like eh *shrug*. Well except for the movie "Honey" which will always remind me of a long distance relationship. Said person was able to enlighten me on the absolutely hilarious merits of this movie. * Shout out to Franso!*

Anyways, here is the song I CAN NOT stop playing. It's like cotten candy, so damn sweet that you don't consume it often, so when you do, you go all out crazy with it. Eating the sickly sweet stickiness of the cotton candy until you got it all over your face and finger and you feel like your about die/barf or just neet to lay down and burp. That is what this song is to me...I am at the stage of binging. Between this and the Janet song, I feel myself either converting into a girly girl (shudder the very thought!) or just trying to reconnect with my 11 year old self...

I chose to believe the latter.


I leave you with the song and a video ,but not THE music video. Why you ask? I HAAAAAAAAAAAATE the new video. Yes I understand it is meant to be funny...still...ugh, mugh, blah!

Highlight of the song is when she goes "oh yeah, oh yeah,oh yeah, oh yeah" like a thousand times, it sound to me like "Oye!" in spanish.
