Happy Friday – Haunted Man & Natural Hair
Source – Nana Ghana for Refinery29 My week has been jam-packedwith work, light on sleep and heavy on music. I am extremely glad to start a a new weekend and stay as toasty and cozy as possible in what looks to be the first taste of this winter’s arctic weather. As much as snow tends to […]
Happy Sunday + Call Me Maybe
June 10, 2012
I think I put up about 5 minutes worth of resistance before giving in to the powers of Carly Rae Jepsen’s Call Me Maybe. I first heard about this song on NPR a month ago when I saw the headline “Dude Acts Like a Lady: Call Me Maybe Takes Over YouTube“ which I assumed was […]
Happy Friday + Queen of California
May 25, 2012
Johnny, We Hardly Knew Ye For a period of time, during the halcyon days of my youth (about 3/4 years ago), I was commuting back and forth between London and Paris often catching the 5am train to Paris Saturday mornings. On one such morning, tired after a long week and aching for a few extra […]
Fire Fly
April 15, 2012
In recent history, I have resisted Childish Gambino in all forms no matter how beloved the source encouraging me to like his music (Awkward Black Girl, NPR, Pitchfork and all other internet purveyors of music). In line with the release of Donald Glover’s Childish Gambino, NPR streamed the entire album, which I listened to a […]
On Shopping, Lucian Freud + Afro Blue
April 5, 2012
Lucian Freud Source It’s the weekend and I am Stoked with a capital S. I will hang around my barrio, try to visit the Lucian Freud exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery (and catch some David Hockney too, time permitting), sleep, eat and relax, as God intended I’ve already kicked off my weekend with some […]
Mid-Week Hype – Capital Cities, NPR & Natural Hair
February 16, 2012
I feel like I’m floating on a cloud, literally walking on sunshine even after having worked a 14-hour day. Why the elation? My week has come to an early close and I am beyond ready for some rest and recuperation. My year so far has been wild, to say the least. The opportunity to staycate, dig […]
Grammy Winners 2012 – Flashbacks of a Fool
February 13, 2012
I haven’t watched the Grammys in forever. Last night, I didn’t even attempt to figure out which (if any) channel would broadcast the show in my barrio. I re-read my post following last year’s Grammys and this year played out in pretty much similar fashion. Instead of Arcade Fire (miss them! looking forward to the […]
Hommes Afrique Avec Style
November 26, 2011
Let’s Hear it For the Boys A couple of months ago, I went to the Natural History Museum with my sister, bro-in-law, niece and nephew (who was excited to go to the “newseum”). Outside the office & any occasion requiring special effort, my dress sense leans towards what I like to call refined hobo/preppy hippy. […]
Thank God It’s Friday! Florence & The Machine Edition
September 2, 2011
This week has been wild: high highs and low lows. A day in the life. Thank God it’s Friday. Earlier today I was listening to the All Songs Considered show from a couple of weeks ago, the one about songs that make you feel good; that I missed it is a sign of a schedule […]
Music Break: Bossa Nova Sunday
July 31, 2011
Recently my iPod was stolen…along with the computer that had a backup of all my music. On the one hand it was a (music) crisis, on the other hand I got a new Mac Book Pro so I guess it’s good to focus on the positive side of things. When I first got an iPod, […]
