Shoegaze vs Rapgaze whats the real?

Today, you're pretty much being sold all the fucking time. Whether you're alone or simply doing your mundane routine, there's something out there to give you curiosity. I found an article in New York this April that struck a chord internally, I was at a store where they sold amplifiers and happened to take a seat in their window to read some publications laying nearby.

As I flipped through the pages, I saw a photo of Mac DeMarco and a title with the word "shoegaze" in it and that's when it hit me. "Shoegaze"?!? It was defined as a musical technique that gave a different element to sound.

As I finished the section all I could think about were instances were I heard these sounds, these small glares of whimsical voice that gave me satisfaction. Then it hit me again, Mac isn't the only one and this isn't the only place it belongs.

I enjoy the Soundcloud app quite a bit, I spend time searching new artists. It was a night were I needed to find a good energy to keep everyone turnt up. So I searched playlists where Future, Gucci Mane and Drake are featured. I find a song that has a fast orchestra loop with a hard 808 drum, I'm boppin and I hear a refreshing "yeeeeaaaahhhhhh" gently ooze out and its Travis $cott serenading me out of my attempt to be sober once again! Madeintyo's  "Uber everywhere" is such a hard element to music I feel that song is equally represented as "Rapgaze", Music of the similar effect mentioned previously but with a different tempo and melody.

Travis is a pioneer in his sound lyrically and effectively. I have alot to look forward in this realm of music because of voices like these.

Keep your styles cool, always.

I created a soundscape about my journey in becoming a woman.

Waves of R&B Darkstar Album Review: Foam Island

It's been too gotdamn long but they finally made something to soothe the ears. Darkstar's back with their third studio album called "Foam Island". I find their sound to be very refreshing compared to what I have heard this past year in the "R&B, electronica" style of music. James and Aiden composed dance tracks with subtle elements of house, experimental and soul. I enjoy what they create in their music, its distinctive and powerful. Cheers to UK and European artists for going for individuality.

USA has alot of work to do.

MK ULTRA VOL 1

I made a mix of sounds that were inspired by my time spent with my favorite band, Chargaux.

On this mix we have Kate Bush, Bjork, Jai Paul, Square Pusher, Aphex Twin and a few more notable artists and snippets to say the least. Through this journey of sound are influences that not only capture the greatest elements of music but incorporates the spiritual and viral aspect as well.

Enjoy and be corrupted.

Gone Girl: The movie review and my mental state right now

Two hours and twenty nine minutes of crazy! Gone Girl is one of the better films for the American cinema. It's edgy, soft and powerful. I can't wait to read the novel. I first learned about this movie from briefly watching an interview on a cable channel. Seeing Tyler Perry in the same frame with Ben Affleck struck my interest and the way he spoke about this film also gave me curiosity.

How much of this film is actually true, I may never know. I will admit it drew parallel to fears I have about myself in my womanhood, being married and in love. Seeing this woman plot against a man who allegedly cheated and "abused" her was excruciating. I didn't know who I wanted to survive by the end of it. It was a great depiction, every actor brought their A game for this film. I was ecstatic to read Reese Witherspoon produced this film. GONE GIRL!

Seriously, this work questioned the way I view relationships on alot of levels. Seeing where I am emotionally I could be an Amazing Amy if I just scrolled a little bit more through social media to stalk boys. Watch this movie and talk about it with your friends. See who wins.

2015 in a nutshell: Artists, Internet and Television

As we reach the middle of 2015, so many things have surfaced to pop culture. From gender identity, ISIS operations, plastic surgery and Bluebell ice cream recalls one could say this is a year of a different drum. Some years in pop culture seem obscure while others seem like just a blip away. How far have we come? Have we even made a distance? Who the fuck knows, but here are a few things to note:

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt 

Whether you have a life or you're extremely anti-social you should take a few hours and indulge in Netflix. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is a great comedic gem about a sheltered woman who finds her voice while living in New York. Ellie Kempner and Titus Burgess deliver hilarity at an all time high. Tina Fey is still grooving and I'm glad she's still making great work.

Reality television is something I love and despise all in the same breath. I love it for obvious reasons, over the top plots, the weird camera angles and scripted yet non-scripted monologues. Lately I've found myself really enjoying VH1's new series, "Barely Famous". The Foster sisters are a crazy duo who take on Hollywood one free Birkin at a time.

Music this year has been interesting, with SXSW come and gone I haven't found myself to cling to any noteworthy albums. But here are a few honorable mentions thus far:

 Party Supplies and Bronsolino do it again in their masterpiece entitled, "Mr. Wonderful" . If you're into gourmet meals and rap this is your album. Cohesion at its finest.

Sremmlife gives a glimpse of the millennial rap that is coming of age. Swae and Slim crank some jams on this album to get you from the club to the gym and on to a new THOT. Who knew Mississippi had more out there?

I've read this shit and heard it a hundred times, but somehow you can't resist it. Mr. Graham keeps that mixtape juice flowing as this is his 4th one. I'm happy he still gives to the EP crowd a very good move by the OVO family.

More importantly, I'm anticipating the release of R8. Which I hope drops soon because summer is coming and if I'm still being force-fed this kinda rap I might as well be a thot in real life.

On the virtual wave, I have found many things of pleasure. My most prized meme at the moment is Pepe. Pepe is a frog of many identities who comes in and takes the lives of plebs and internet trolls. I love him and bless those who keep his image alive in a good way. 

Vive' pepe
