RESTLESS CITY

"The story of a young man surviving on the fringes of New York City where music is his passion, life is a hustle, and falling in love is his greatest risk."

AFFRM (African American Film Festival Movement)is releasing RESTLESS CITY, a 2011 Official Sundance Selection, directed by Mr. Andrew Dosunmu, today in NY, LA and ATL. Please support this movie...it looks amazing! And also support the movement! 

Check it out: AFFRM - Restless City

When she sings, I listen.

Check out Florence & The Machines raw, haunting cover of Otis Redding's "Try A Little Tenderness"...it's hypnotic. Cue the chills.

My Coachella Lineup (Holograms definitely needed)

I thought it would be fun to create my own Coachella lineup with all of my favorite artists...the headliners of course would be Miss Billie Holiday, Michael Jackson & The Jackson 5, and Sir Elton John...obviously!

How dope would this festival be?!?!

AND Special shout out to my girl Karine aka Special K who created my lovely Coachella Poster that I now what to have made into a real poster and put on my wall :) 

King of the North!

If you didn't know by now, Game of Thrones has officially taken over my life...and I'm perfectly fine with that.

Now let me show you why...Robb Stark aka "King of The North"

He's not a boy anymore...he's a man...a boss...and he remembers.

This scene still gives me chills

War is definitely coming!

Whatever you do, don't funk with my groove

"Leave your face at the door, turn off your swag and check your vain, from your lengths to your tense, get down..."


You better get hip with THEESatifaction real quick because these fly sistas are the shit! 


I love everything about them...their sound, their style, this video...FIRE. They're calling their unique sound "funk-psychedelic feminista sci-fi epics with the warmth and depth of Black Jazz and Sunday morning soul, frosted with icy raps that evoke equal parts Elaine Brown, Ursula Rucker and Q-Tip"...DOPE.




Their debut full-length album "awE naturalE" is out now..so you know what you need to do.

Hidden Gem: QUADRON

You need to hear this first...pick a track...doesn't matter which one...I'll wait...



Now would you believe me if I told you this group was from Denmark? Probably not, right? Well believe it! Danish duo Robin and Coco are the masterminds behind the soulful sounds of Quadron. Their self-titled debut album came out back in 2010, but I just heard their song "Buster Keaton" and was instantly hooked. They're amazing...and Coco's only 22!

New Obsession: Alternative Movie Posters

I can't get enough of these! So many people are getting creative making these alternative movie posters...now someone just needs to start printing them so I can put them on my wall. Please and Thank You.

Some of my faves:

Lions, tigers and TRAILERS oh my!

2012 is well on its way to being an exciting year for movies with obvious hits still to come like The Dark Knight Rises, The Avengers and Disney's Pixar Brave. And to add to that list, here are some new movies I'm pretty pumped about and hoping will be hits as well.

First up, TED, the 1st feature film from Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane starring Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis. (I'm definitely gonna be quoting this movie so get ready now)

Next, SPARKLE, starring the late Ms. Whitney Houston, Jordin Sparks and Derek Luke. (ummm, why am I not in this movie?!?)



And last but not least, TO ROME WITH LOVE, written, directed and starring my hero Mr. Woody Allen...and some other cool people too.
