via tania: listen up

In Music, People, neuva york on 9 July 2008 with no comments

I’m not usually a musical bully. I don’t usually say, hey listen to my music because its so fantabulous that it’ll blow you’re mind. Usually musical experiences are so objective anyway, what one person loves because they listened to it while slow dancing at prom another person will inadvertently hate. (And really can’t we […]

exchange.004

In Music, exchange on 9 July 2008 with no comments

We’re late.
Summertime was the perfect theme because that’s what happened to all of us: we got caught up in a little too much summer fun and dropped the ball (Liz tried to no avail reigning it back in.)
But…as I say better late than never. Round 4 of the exchange. Well worth the wait.

George | Summertime […]

exchange.003 touch

In Music, exchange on 27 June 2008 with 2 comments

Lets get nasty people.
The exchange is back once again, and I’m late on my posting due to my health. This weeks theme: touch. Our freakiest freak nasty songs. Or as Liz says, songs that make you want to reach out and touch that special someone. Obviously some of us are, ahem, a little more […]

i am music

In Music on 17 June 2008 with no comments

All this funny business with the exchange has me sifting through my music collection, listening to new and old favorite love jammies, r&b joints and everything in between. And who doesn’t love love, right?
In the spirit of sharing, and because I’m too lazy to gather 12 tracks to make another mux, I’ll post a few […]

the cool down

In Music, neuva york on 11 June 2008 with no comments

I made a playlist on Monday, because it was 95 degrees and I needed to hear music that reminded me of ice cream.
Happy summering.

In Music, blogs on 11 June 2008 with no comments

I’d recently began to think of musical assimilation and was trying to find the context to write about it in, the process by which people begin to slowly influence one another’s musical taste and broaden their musical horizons. Especially when they happen to be people with whom we communicate largely through the internet. But then […]

Muxing it Up

In Music on 31 May 2008 with no comments

I’ve finally joined the rest of the digital world (it always takes me a while) and created a muxtape.
Without much ado: the teeny mix mux.

Under The Lights: Finally Posting bout E. Badu

In Music, concert on 20 May 2008 with 1 comment

Under The Lights, originally uploaded by tstrong_06.

From the moment she slowly sauntered on stage (straight to the middle of the stage and then she turned and backed up slowly till she got to the microphone). Her black mini-dress was hot, billowy and perfect, with a tall black hat. She’s another one of my central […]

Literary sampling

In Movies, Music, Writing on 13 May 2008 with no comments

Two days after I posted the passage from White Teeth, I was reading through the archives of the Paris Review and came across a W. H. Auden interview (which is brilliant by the way) where he quoted a line from his poem which appeared in the New Yorker: “Thousands have lived without love, not one without […]
