Just a quick note to let you know my first post for the 53rd Annual GRAMMY Awards season is up on GRAMMY.com! The post is titled, “Map Your Music Memories,” and in the post I review the pretty spiffy MusicMapper app The Recording Academy launched earlier this month. I think the iPhone app is cool [...]

Last week when meeting some new people, I was invited to watch a Karaoke League competition. Karaoke LEAGUE? I thought. Since when do people compete at karaoke? In a league? I was told that it’s serious business. To the point that it almost sucks the fun out of karaoke. But that’s what also makes it [...]

Today is the anniversary of Michael Jackson’s death. A year ago today I was in Los Angeles, at the offices of a new client. Working. My client covers news for African-Americans, so as soon as news broke about MJ, we were all over it. Except, this was too real to be part of our everyday [...]

Moving to NYC has allowed me to meet said individuals in person so I could personally experience just how cool they are in person. The Internets never lets me down. That being said, it is my pleasure to tell you about two awesome people [...]

I don’t mean to post twice in the same hour, but can we talk about how amped I am about Kanye’s next album? Kanye is the only artist who comes close to my obsession with Mimi, and for good reason. I love Kanye Season: the period of time when Kanye comes back and graces us [...]

I’m finally getting around to watching NY-Z (heads up by the apropos LateBoots), a documentary short, nee super-commercial, produced by ABSOLUT. It premiered on their Facebook Fan page this week. (Nice lil digital campaign they’ve got going there.) It’s beautiful. Right round the 10:45 minute mark I realized Jigga is entering a party at Rocawear [...]

I’ve been quiet on the blogging front because so much is going on, yet nothing is going on. All at the same time. I’ve been in LA since mid-November, and have no plans to return to NYC until January. I know. Who does that? All that precious rent money in Manhattan going to keeping my [...]

I’m back, two days in a row and blogging! It’s as if it’s 2003 all over again, and I’m blogging everyday. Ha, not really. I came by to drop off a video, Beyonce’s “Halo.” I can’t explain why, but this is my jam of the moment. Yes, I have had her album since it leaked. [...]
