Transformers

Please give me a reason, as a grown man who is turning 27 next month, not to buy this.

And the Transformers movie is hands down the best movie I’ve seen all summer. If you’re an 80’s baby you owe it to yourself to go and see it.

Hope everybody had a good 4th of July cause I know I did, although it did involve biking back home at 1:00 AM tired and slightly intoxicated, but that’s a story for another day.

Wow. Pharoahe Monch only sold 12,000 copies of his album Desire. I shouldn’t be surprised I guess.

And more bad news for lovers of “real” music: Straight No Chaser is shutting its doors. The last issue will be printed in August.

But rap isn’t dead. Word is, T.I. sold 500,000 copies of T.I. vs. T.I.P. I heard the album was wack and the lead single wasn’t getting radio support, but I can’t really hate if the rumor is true.

DJ’s are you finding it harder and harder to break new tracks? Is the top 40 Force to strong to be rekon’d with??

After that Washington City Paper article, it seems everbody’s been talkin’ about the whole “cat call” phenomenon, but Jimi for his part has the best “male response” that you’re ever gonna read.

Did anyone see the Live Earth concerts this weekend? Seriously, is anybody going to start recycling just because the Black Eyed Peas told you to? And don’t look at me, I’ve been using mass transportation and those compact fluorescent light bulbs for 5 years now.

BYT has an interview with my homegirl, the Vagina Lady Alexyss Taylor.

Did you catch Kenna’s performance on Live Earth?…if you know anything about him you should inform the reading/listening audience about him…kid is really good and trying to come up in the world.”Sun red sky blue” was amazing and if you have that song you should share it for them to hear as well.Keep up the good work.

WHAT???? Naw, I didn’t know about that. Thx for the tip…watching the performance online now. I actually went to school with Kenna’s sister so I’ve been following his carreer for a while now. I got a chance to hang out with him when he played RNR Hotel in DC. The dude is an amazing talent so I’m glad that he’s gettin’ support.

a 35 year old chick all giddy to go to the movies to see the transformers or an almost 27 year old guy putting some money down for a collectable toy??? you tell me?
