New Tune Tuesday - New Music Overload

It's Tuesday, and you know what that means: new music, bitches!!

This week there's a little bit to appease just about everyone's musical appetite with new tunes from +The Strokes  and sneak peaks from +Vampire Weekend and Beyonce. 


First, some light-hearted, good-natured rock and roll  as only they can do it. The Strokes' new album, Comedown Machine, is available for purchase on March 25, but you can stream the full album here thanks to Pitchfork



The alternative rock fest continues with two new tracks from Vampire Weekend. Their album, Modern Vampires of the City is due May 7: around the same timing as new +Fall Out Boy and Fitz And The Tantrums. Give a listen to 'Diane Young' and 'Step.' Personally, I'm feeling 'Diane Young.' It's got that familiar VW sound without being just a repeat of their past stuff, and I love the dirty beat. 'Step' is going to have to grow on me. 



The Queen is back!! With people swearing she didn't actually give birth to Blue Ivy and criticizing her for naming her tour The Mrs. Carter Show, Bounce-say had to show everybody she's still runs shit. In a way I'm hoping these (two? can we really call it two? possibly 1.27) tracks don't make it on the album. They are just plain ghetto retaliation. I gotta admit though, I'd like to hear a remix to 'Bow Down'. Check out 'Bow Down/Been On' here.

Oh, and - in case you've somehow forgotten - new +Justin Timberlake is officially out today!
Truly, all is right with the world.

PS - here's a little nugget +Chris Aragon sent me. +Kendrick Lamar ft. +Jay-Z 'Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe' - did this song just get EVEN BETTER?! Check it here

why wide awake?

i'm accepting the fact that i can't sleep. it's 2 a.m. and i'm going to be REALLY sorry in about four hours. i have a lot on my mind. usually when that happens i sleep a lot, which is what i've been doing the last week. perhaps i've used up all of my sleep hours. my little- doggie -sonic, on the other hand, has done nothing but sleep since i picked him up from doggie daycare today. YES!! sonic went to doggie daycare for the first time today. well, yesterday. since The Man left he has been really clingy and over protective. he growls and barks at every little thing, and he's always full of energy now that he is alone all day. i figured the best affordable solution is a day at doggie daycare each week. last weekend he passed his temperament test at The Pampered Pet , so we set his all day appointment. when i dropped him off wednesday morning it broke my heart. he didn't understand why i couldn't go with him to the play room. the lady had to pic

Last Week in Pix + 2x2 - Long Weekend Bliss

Last week was STRESSFUL.  Work was the normal amount of unnecessary crap. Bad weather near my hometown was no fun at all.  Let's just say this long weekend could not have come at a better time.  FRIDAY; Raise A Glass For Oklahoma!  happened at SOUTH in Santa Monica. We are still waiting for the final report from the bar, but we are pretty sure we reached our goal to raise $1000 for Feed The Children in Oklahoma City. Check out the progress here: https://app.mobilecause.com/public/social/7524  It was great that people were down to help out. We had amazing raffle prizes, the bar is donating 15% of the night's sales, and a lot of Oklahomies showed up, which was just wonderful. And because the more we drank the more money the bar would donate...we drank a fair amount. SATURDAY & SUNDAY: Yoga did not happen. I tried really hard, but all of my donation drinking said no.  I finally got rolling in the afternoon, packed up my stuff and Sonic

Justice for Georgina, aka Go See Get Out Immediately

WARNING: ALL OF THE SPOILERS. LIKE, SO MANY SPOILERS. GO SEE THE MOVIE. THAT'S AN ORDER.  In Get Out , the brilliant new Jordan Peele film, black people are used by white people's brains.  That's the shortest explanation, as there are so many levels to the movie. I'm typically not one to see scary movies (I can't even get through Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video), but when I read about this movie's perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes and the raving reviews from critics, I had to go and support this film from a black director with black stars. I'm not a fan of scary movies. They always give me nightmares. Before I saw the film, a coworker assured me that I wouldn't have nightmares after watching  Get Out . He was right and wrong. I didn't have nightmares about monsters lurking in dark corners, but I stayed awake unpacking all of the themes and metaphors of the film. In doing so, a big part of why I wasn't afraid occurred to
