Have you checked out the dopeness that is Pharrell’s 24-hour music video Happy?As an image maker this video is over-the-top inspiring. The 4 minute song plays continuously, as we watch Pharrell, as well as kids, women, men, and dancers, jam along to the song, to what are staged regular moments. Shot in a continuous, one camera format, the video is smart, innovate, fun…and makes me Continue reading
On Tuesday, Duck Sauce (A-trak and Armand Van Helden) debuted their new video Big Bad Wolf. As some know, not only am i a big fan of A-trak as a DJ, he’s sort of my weird entertainer crush, so of course I was delighted to check out the video!
I’ve watch Big Bad Wolf 2 or 3 times, and i’m not sure how i feel about it. It’s amazingly innovative, captivating, funny, perfect for Halloween; it’s disturbingly good. It’s just something about A-trak representing gentalia, or just being that close to another man’s crotch that weirds me out. Fortunately i know those or camera tricks, so i’m more entertained than disturbed. I do wonder though, how it was on set, because I’m pretty sure the guys, and girls for that matter, had to bare it all, so that they could super-impose the genitalia heads. The outtakes are probably the most disturbing footage, hahaha.
Enjoy!
It’s been a good month! Like the Adele video I posted, here’s another video that goes with the words and vibe of the song.
Rihanna’s new video We Found Love, is so good, that I can give the very weak dance song a pass. I end up just wanting to rave, have a great, hazy-weekend, that ends with a few interesting stories, and maybe, just maybe, love.

I’ve been waiting for new music from Kid Sister for awhile now, I’m always surprised that there’s not more buzz around her. Yesterday she dropped a new mixtape called Kiss Kiss Kiss, mixed by Nick Catchdubs from Fool’s Gold Records, and there’s an even heavier dance element, which is fun. If you’ve read my blog from the accordingtojay days, you’ll know I always throw some Kid Sister into my workout playlist. Now I think I’m just going to play Kiss Kiss Kiss in its entirety for my workout because its high energy pretty much from beginning to end. With the new year everyone is motivated to hit the gym; if you need music like I do, this will keep your cardio up.
It’s a free download so you have no excuse!
Oh and for the Gucci Mane fans, he makes an appearance.
omg, what a week, so far! i’ve only slept 2 hours in the last 60+ hours!!!
…fortunately i’m not Stressed Out. Mostly because i’ve been listening to Kid Sister’s Ultraviolet album. All last week I was listening to Brazilian music, then from Thanksgiving onward, Kid Sister has taken over my life.
Ultraviolet is my new workout album for December…but its quickly turning into my keep me awake and upbeat album. (just a few minutes separates me with my pillow, i can’t wait!)
As I digress…I know i’m a few days late but Kid Sister’s Ultraviolet is the album of the week. Don’t get me wrong, it not some prolific album or something. At 1st listen my music snobbery was peaked and i began to judge, plus i didn’t know anything about Kid Sister. But i found the Dance…Hip-Hop/Bass…Bending/Dance…what ever genre they’d like to call it… album infectious; its simple, but i keep putting it back on. It’s the Southern girl in me; I’m just happy that someone is updating the southern 90s energy into something that isn’t nauseating …or maybe that’s how Chi-town rolls and i didn’t know all this time. Regardless, good shit!
Let Me Bang 2009 is my fav…that’s my vibe…and Kid Sister seems relatable, refreshing! Pro Nails (featuring Kanye) was released a looong time ago, but i sure nuff did my nails after listening to it, hahaha. Day Dreaming is a nice way to transition that kind of MGNT vibe; Cee-lo was a nice addition. And I like You Aint Really Down, it seems like an ode to 90s R&B (sounded like Michel’le jumped on for a few notes, lol), I wonder if more singing will be incorporated in the next album? hmmm… that could be fun. There are a few weak, album-filler songs, but over all, you can’t help to just feel lighter when you listen to Ultraviolet…that’s what Dance is supposed to do, right?

I’m addicted to The mis-Adventures of Awkward Black Girl! It’s a web series that I was told about in the late Summer by my coworker homie, who actually knows creator, Issa Rae. He told me he thought I’d like it (probably because of my own awkwardness), and that I should check it out. At the […]
Yelawolf I’ve decided to add a new category to What Gets You Movin, and that would be ‘Hotness’! Since I was about 14, I’ve had these mini crushes on people, a new person almost every other week. Nothing serious, just someone or sometimes a subject/entity that heightens my radar for the moment. I’m always sharing […]
