Janelle Monae "Many Moons" (Trackademicks "Y'all Better Shut Up" Remix)

I saw one of his stickers near the Urban
Outfitters off Ponce near the VA Highlands.
"I like the cut of his artistic jib..."
It's neat and bright but it still seems grimy.

So a day or so after I begged the powers that be
for some new material from Kid Sister.
She delivers via her mypace.
Listen to "Right Hand HI" on her myspace.
Her debut album Ultraviolet will be released October 6th.
"Sometimes you just gotta let it marinate.
I need to make something I'm proud of.
So don't hate! We're doing it as fast as we can.
In the meantime, let's tell knock-knock jokes on Twitter."
---- KID SISTER, to Pitchfork media recently

check out the new video.

They're with ColliPark Music and I LIKE THEM. *shocking* I feel a sense of La'Trimm, a touch (just a touch) of JJ Fad an ounce of Solange and a sprinkle of TLC. Their vocals are great. Listen to the song "Confetti" on their myspace. I like their aesthetic and energy. Mind you it's sugary sweet urban pop, but I enjoy it nonetheless. I have a thing for duos, and these two are just too damn adorable. AND THEY ARE COUSINS! Awwwwwww.

O-Ren Ishii: As your leader, I encourage you to -- from time to time and always in a respectful
manner -- to question my logic. If you're unconvinced a particular plan of action I've decided is the
wisest, tell me so. But allow me to convince you. And I will promise you, right here and now, no
subject will be taboo ... except, of course, the subject that was just under discussion. The price you
pay for bringing up either my Chinese or my American heritage as a negative is, I collect your
fucking head. (holds up a decapitated head) Just like this fucker here. Now if any of you sons
of bitches got anything else to say, NOW'S THE FUCKING TIME!! ... I didn't think so.

this is deep.
and it makes me SMILE.
Janelle apparently murdered her tour dates with No Doubt!
(remained androgynous & chic while doing so...)
Gwen & the boys are supporters.
I'm patiently waiting for Ms. Monae to explode on the national scene.
art will win in the end, I truly believe that.

From her blog:

"To all my fans,I was suppose to be on the A-Trak tour but because of personal reasons i was pulled in the direction of not doing it. Things happen for a reason some happen at the the wrong point of ya life but no one knows why or for what reason only God. So yes I was blessed with a child. At first i was teary eyed and my first thought was to get rid of it. I asked God for guidance and i went to the hospital 4 times and each time i had a breakdown and i knew what direction God was pulling me in. WHAT GOD HAS FOR YOU, NOBODY CAN TAKE!!! AND HE DOESNT GIVE YOU MORE THAN WHAT YOU CAN HANDLE. i feel as tho i had a baby and i had to much integrity to abort her my mom was on the table about to have me aborted and seen my heartbeat and changed her mind. I'm young but I'm also grown and right now its alot on me. BUT THESE THINGS DIDNT STOP ME ONLY MOTIVATED ME TO WORK 10 TIMES HARDER!!!!!! And i have alot of resect for the label for understanding and backing me and willing to work around this so we can release an amazing album."

Rye Rye was the first artist signed to MIA's record label NEET.
Her song "Bang" appeared during the end credits of Fast & Furious.
"Bang" is the SHIT.

This is one of my favorite films. It was directed by Miranda July, it was actually her directorial
debut. It follows several subplots that all revolve around an intertwined cast of characters. It's
quirky and irreverent. I really loved it. The script is amazing and really inspired me. There is a
scene in the movie with these two characters that is so f*cking hilariously awkward and off kilter!
I definitely suggest you check it out and tell me what you think. Sundance & Cannes approved.

the trailer for the film.
a little bit more about the film.
