No Blog Stuff This Week!

Sorry folks!

Along with writing stuff for this blog, I also am working with several different magazines not to mention submitting research articles for my field of studies back at OU. This week was pretty hectic, so I couldn't find the time to blog - SORRY!

Since I love you all so much, I will have enough tasty music-related morsels to make you forget about my lacking of this week, from a Lil' B piece to a poem about guitars.

So be ready, because I'll be back before you know it! Until then, please read my other articles and don't forget to check out my mini-me, my Tumblr! Oh, and follow me on twitter too! I'm always yapping with those two about something :)

Peace.

Last Week on Tumblr...

For those that may not know, this blog has a sidekick!

When I'm not posting reviews, commentaries, and such, I am posting small music tidbits on Tumblr, titled Bubble Gum Pop Rap Lite. Almost anything has been posted on this site, from neat music articles to singles from great artists. Every week I'll give you a taste of what I've come across on the radio, in the news, and online. Enjoy!


Posted July 31st: I rant about switching lives with people who run clubs, mainly because I stood outside a club for an hour just to see an art exhibit that night. The art was great, and was actually worth standing in 90+ degree weather, but sheesh! (yeah, still mad)


Posted July 30th: found Rah Digga's album cover for her latest project Classic, Uffie's thoughts on fellow "hip-hopper" and swagger-jacker Ke$ha, and news on the record store documentary I Need That Record! being released to major DVD sellers including Netflix.


Posted July 29th: I put my MP3 player on shuffle and comment on the first 10 songs that come up. Plus, the new video for Chromeo's "Don't Turn The Lights On" and some tunes to back up my Black rocker rant, The Five One's "DC Sleeps."


Posted July 28th: One of my favorite chill records Zero 7 "In The Waiting Line" and Zach Galifianakis (omg, I spelled his name right again) does a remake to Anita Baker classic "You Bring Me Joy".


Posted July 27th: Psychologists finally catch up with the mind of musicians and write this "wonderful discovery" on the Rock 'n' Roll lifestyle. I dubbed it Rock 'n' Roll Psychology 101 - class is in session. I guess. Also a very cinematic video to The Roots "The Fire" off their new album How I Got Over.


Posted July 26th: After reading an article from the New York Times, I find this music video by one of the sissy bounce artists, Sissy Nobby called "Beat It Out The Frame", and yes, it goes there!

Last Week on Tumblr...

Not exactly last week, a few days behind....

However, full of super cool things from Bubble Gum Pop Rap Lite!

Posted July 25th: Find out why I'm here and why I use Tumblr!

Posted July 23rd: One of the best band rants EVER posted on the Alternative Press called "The WTF Moment," and (getting a little personal here) a list of songs I listen to when I'm happy, sad, bored, hyped and mad.

Posted July 21st: Some awesome tuneage! A new track from one of the funkiest bands out right now, Calibro 35, called "L'Escutore". The second coolest track of the day comes from dubber Mochipet and it's called "RAWR"... yes, like the sound of an animal (trust me, it's that hardcore)!

Posted July 20th: Listen to Tommy and the rest of the Rugrats sing a classic pirates tune off their Rugrats: The Movie Soundtrack. Also, cool pics from one of my current favorite graffiti writers, Balrog, and a pic of my first stereo - a double cassette player. I also ramble about the art of dubbing radio mixes and people's CDs.

Posted July 19th: The new video for "Mmmhmm" for Flying Lotus.

Starting with July 10th: I found one of the coolest posters floating around the Internet! Also on that day, I finally changed my ringtone to Drake's "Thank Me Now" (who did NOT show up at the Car and Bike Show I went to in Atlanta, I was so hurt!)

Posted July 9th: This was the day officer Johannes Mehserle caught a involuntary manslaughter verdict for MURDERING an arrested young Black man by shooting him in the back of the head! So in anger, I found this song by Rebel Diaz and BRWN BFLO called "Who You Shootin At?" Also posted was a funny JPEG on Chart-Topping Musicians (dissed the hell out of Nickelback in the process!)

Posted July 8th: The visuals to Nikki Lynette's "Civil War", as well as Roxanne Shante on why she left the rap game.

Posted July 7th: A tune from Jean Grae's last mixtape before retirement where she gives XXL a piece of her mind. Plus, for all you "Nasty Boys," the video from Janet Jackson's steamy performance at the Essence Music Festival!

Posted July 6th: Prince's opinion on the current state (and the future) of the Internet, and an oh-too-familiar yet revolutionary album cover of Bilal's latest works.

Posted July 5th: A link that'll get you ALL SIX of Charles Hamilton's new mixtapes!!! That is all.

Posted July 3rd: A booming system unlike any other, news on a possible ?uestlove, Raphael Saadiq, and Amy Winehouse band, and classic video footage on how to do the Bird from the ever-so lovely Purple Rain!
