Robyn - Dancing on my Own

My wife and I were hanging out at the food court at the Mall of GA waiting to get in to see the new TRON Legacy movie in IMAX 3D, which happened to be AWESOME!!!

There were several TV monitors around the food court playing the latest music videos. I noticed one in particular, which I thought was Pink with a new look, but it wasn't. It was Robyn. Could not really hear the music over the food court noise, so I look her up yesterday and today, and I really liked that song in the video.


Looks like I missed her show and there are no other ATL shows scheduled for 2011 that I can see. Bummer. Well there is always Youtube.

Masiluku Dub - Mark Ernestus vs. Konono No.1

Looks like Konono No.1 is vintage enough to be getting remixed:


Very interesting indeed.

While browsing the above video, I found some dudes that are just as eccentric as I am...


I think I will go ahead and finish transcribing the phonetic lyrics to some of these songs, and do a complete video. It will be weird, and not everyone's cup of tea, but it will be unique and it will be a form of expression that is ultimately my own.

Ke$ha - We R Who We R

WOW... just WOW...





Most definitely a guilty pleasure.

Raise Your Glass and Firework

Vacationing at the Hotel Arturo (Mom's house), where cable television is among one of the many amenities. So I have been getting exposed to stuff I don't actively look for such as Top 40 pop music on the VH1 or MTV, or whatever...

Apparently, right now Pink and Katy Perry are on fire with "Raise your glass"and "Firework".



Both are feel-good anthems that celebrate personal uniqueness. Maybe this will be the new thing for the next few years... until it just becomes a cliche like everything else that gets over-exposed. But for now, we can enjoy it for a little while, and be glad for Pink and Katy that they are having success in their careers.

Soul Train!!! The Sound of Philidelphia Afrosheen

Saw a Soul Train documentary on VH1 Classics and heard the Soul Train Theme, which was released as "The Sound of Philidelphia"


Now during the Soul Train broadcasts, they would show Afro-centric commercials such as this one:


Can you dig it?!?

What can I say...I LOVE YOUTUBE!!!

Such a shame that he pissed away so much money... Maybe he should have quit when he was still legit...
