Saw the movie 'Fast Five'. Did you stay til the end?? If not, shame on you! Everyone was rushing out the doors but something told me to stay. And boy was a glad I did. The next one will be well worth it!
My friends and I signed up for some food and music festivals! They are all local which is good, I'm a huge supporter of local events.
I'm extremely excited about the NYC Food and Wine Festival. Never been but I hear its so fun. Gotta get my tickets soon.
Music...sigh...Is the best creation ever. I grew up in the music biz. My mom was the ishhh back in the day. I'm sorry I didn't take advantage of it then but I do appreciate it now. Music seems to make everything better. Whenever someone asks me what my fav music is or band or rapper I never know where to take it. I love any music with a band. The musicians and artists behind are always so bout it bout it. But if I had to say my fav is the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jay-Z, Dave Matthews band and old skool No Doubt. That 'Tragic Kingdom' helped me through a very hard time in my life. I grew up with Run DMC living just blocks away, jazz playing on cassette in my house, and Bon Jovi rocking at school/camp. So, I guess I'm just versatile. Versatile....such a broad term but best used here.
Anywho, so yea, when I hear a song I love, I go IN on that song. It instantly goes into heavy rotation in the whip, on the laptop, on the iPod, in the CD player at work...you get the point....for a good straight week. Until I can't listen to it for a very long while. I don't know why I do this but it's like my thing. We all have them.
The worst part of obsessing about a particular song, there is always a part in the song that I need to rewind over and over and over. Right now for some reason I'm listening to "Welcome To My Hood" remix by DJ Khaled. There are like a million rappers on the track but Ace Hood's part is my fav. I don't know ANYTHING about Ace Hood. What I do know is that his song "Hustle Hard" remix has the illest beat right now, Lex Luger Holla!. Anywho, in WTMH right before he goes to spit they play the beat of HH on top of the WTMH track. I can't explain it. I guess I'm a music creeper...One who listens to the time signature changes, the up and down beats, the word plays against the bass I dunno, like I said I go IN. So when I listen to this song I have to fast forward it to 4:10 just to get right at the part I like. Then I head nod for the like 30 seconds of his rhyme, rewind and repeat this process over and over for a week. Don't get me wrong I do like the entire song, I just love that part. Don't judge me!
I don't think I can ever say I only like 1 particular genre of music. I've been listening to a lot of hip-hop lately because my job car doesn't have a CD player or an AUX jack. Can you imagine? The horror! And I'd claw my eyes out if I had to listen to Z100 or KTU so Hot 97 and 105.1 are the answers. They too get boring but it's better than the fluff that's making all that money!
When I'm in my car I listen to Octane. Believe it or not one of my top favs is hard metal. I've been into rock music for like 20 years. I prefer rock shows over hip-hop shows because I'm into the musicians and the amazing talent they have. A7X (Avenged Sevenfold) is an amazing band. I recently saw them at their 'Uproar Festival'. They shut it down! I'm also digging 'Apocalyptica'. I love new artists and it's even better to find out where they came from and what they are about.
My favorite band of all time has to be Red Hot Chili Peppers. Followed very closely by Dave Matthews Band, TOOL, System of a Down, 311 and as mentioned above, No Doubt. Um, old school No Doubt, Sevendust, P.O.D. round out the rest of the list. SB to a bunch of 'classic' music I grew up on.
Gonna go listen to many of these artists while I make my jerk pork and rice and peas. My dad would be very disturbed at my buying rice and peas from Gold Krust. But...he doesn't understand the internet so I'm good. LOL. Here is what's going on in my kitchen:
My lil babe, so cute as always! -Skandies!
