A lot can happen in 2 weeks. I got a Tivo after a nearly successful failure of building my own PVR from an old computer , a tv capture card and some open source software.

It feels so good and do other things without being a slave to sit down and watch television at a particular time with all the commercials.

I even was able to catch the new Fantastic 4 cartoon, which at said time of braodcast I was sleeping.

I even have the unit hooked up to the web so if i think of something to record I can tell the tivo to do from my treo before getting on the subway or anywhere where I have access to the internet.

The Vice.Lounge free download “campaign” we started got us over 3,000 myspace friends and even MY myspace page got a little more friendly as well. All when didnt even need Internet marketing San Diego

I even plotted out the playlist for the podcast “Winter/Spring Collection” and this site (Me) got nominated for a Black Web Award the in Category of Best Personal Website by an Individual!

The awards celebrate African, African American and Caribbean excellence online in over 100 categories,and over 2,000 unique nominations from 24 countries.

To paraphrase one of my favorite rappers Murs, that means:
“I’m greater than your grandfathers’s father”

I hope they got the name spelled right by the time you all read this but still vote for me by clicking here:

Putting the finishing touches on our first music video for the song “Pillows” which has been getting much play online and also in Italy thank to RadioPellenera and features vocals from yours truly…lol

The video is actually a re-work of a scene where the instrumental of the song is actually used in the film “No Problema” directed by Rich Williams

Stay Tuned!

So i must admit, I have had the Justin Timberlake album on my mp3 player for over a month now.
It was released today on the 12th.
I tried so much to hate on this dude because it seems he tries so hard to be down, when we know he really aint,but that
SexyBack is too damn catchy!!

The album goes way beyond on that on so many levels in terms of 21st century songwriting and production.
It was the promotion that got me kind of skeptical
When I saw this promo pic,
I was like come on…didnt Mos Def do fedora/bandit thing 2 years ago with
The New Danger???

Buy the album because its a good listen, fire this dudes stylist and promo team pronto! or write Mos Def a check!

9/11 6 years later…
I find myself still still taking the train there everyday and working close by.
I don’t feel any safer since I went by there TWICE last week with a bomb in my attache case
(it was really my laptopm but whose checking?)
It has turned into a real tourist trap. Random people taking picture of the empty air where the buildings once stood.
I even witnessed one guy who must have came from a clinic for New Jersey hair restoration, or maybe just in need of a hair transplant in New York actually try one of these hats on!

Nip/Tuck season 4 started last night and it looks to be a really good season with Larry Hagman and Sanaa Lathan as a married couple and Brooke Shields as a shrink.

While all this is happening in Miami, I wonder if there is a New Jersey cosmetic surgery practice that had similar stories???

One thing that makes it one of the best shows on tv is the music:
Here is a downloadable list of music in this season first episode “Cindy Plum”:

“Boogie Oogie Oogie” – A Taste of Honey – Christian and Sean operate on a couple in their 50’s, celebrate in upscale bar

“Love Is In The Air” – John Paul Young – Christian has ménage a trois, Sean tries to make love to Julia

“Notas” – Gotan Project – Christian has post-coitus argument with Riley and Jill White

“You Sexy Thing” – Hot Chocolate – Sean performs larynx surgery on Cindy Plumb

“Diferente” – Gotan Project – Christian performs a testicular implant procedure

“Tired of Being Alone” – Al Green – Christian has sex with his shrink, boys sign away the practice

Enjoy!

It’s also Fashion Week next week, I heard rumors of 2007 prom dresses being shown.
It can’t be as bad as a show I attended a few weeks ago where I got a sample spray of Clive Christian cologne.
The brand for men is called “1872″, and was given the royal seal from Queen Victoria….

It’s touted as the worlds most expensive cologne!
The perfume spray is $695, a 30ml bottle of your initials in white diamonds is $14,500 and there is a 500ml bottle that is set with a 5 carat diamond.
(they only make 10 of those )and it will cost you $215,000.

Only one problem, it doesnt SMELL that great at all.

Bottomline, If I was strolling around in the hills somewhere in Europe it might fit me.
It’s like olde english…just sweeter.
I will stick to my Egyptian musk, AXE or Carolina Herrera for when I really want to get jiggy.
