Miss Hipstah's Playlist for Keeping Sane

I'm slacking. I know. I haven't posted in FOREVER. But I have a good reason. I'm graduating in December and I'm working on a heavy thesis. I mean really. This thing is taking years off my life. The picture should give you an impression of how I've been feeling lately. (That or just give you [...]

Fantasia Lies: Is High Point “Ghetto”?

The internets are buzzing about the new anti-Fantasia site called Fantasiaslies.com. It's a site created by some NASCAR lovin' losers who are pissed….just pissed that Fantasia had the nerve to call their fair city High Point Dead and blame the city's shitty educational system and city services for her ills. Apparently, it's okay for Fantasia [...]

Review: A Race of Angels - Broadcast No. 1

This summer I relegated my downtempo sounds to the back of my Zen and move the more “crunktastic” sounds to the front. However, one “downtempo” album has made the cut. In fact, My Zen is showing that its the most heavily played album of year, with 72 spins so far.

New Music: Jneiro Jarel

Neo-Old School Soul: Sharon Jones/Nichole Willis

Ya'll already know that I'm diggin' Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings after I saw their performance in Silverlake in LA. Now, other blogs are catching on, and frankly, its about time. (Oh, and apparently Kanye diggs The Dap Kings so much that he sampled them without their permission. Oops.)
One would think that this band [...]

Site Updates/Notes (The NYC Is Bettah Than DC Edition)

Ya boy has been out of town, and the last thing that I wanted to do was look at a computer. And ya know, I don't wanna be one of those DC cats that moves up to NYC (Zoe, cough……Zoe), but I've been in North Jersey/NYC for the past few days, and its pretty damn [...]
