John Legend recently released a new song titled Lay Your Head Down, and im really digging it. Its classic Legend, of course, timeless as it gets. Revolver was one of my favorite albums of 2008, so im glad to see Legend is working on new material for 2009. It gives me something to look forward to.

This video reminds me of a Jil Sander runway show, without the runway. lol. I have to admit, Circlesquare isn’t one of my favorite bands, but I can definitely see why they’ve gotten so popular. This video for Dancers is amazing, so I figured why not show some love and post it, just in case some of my readers hadn’t seen it. So… here it is. :)
O-M-G! This dude is FUCKING INSANE! You know the best music comes straight out of BK, and this is a testament of why I live for the music scene there. Of course Gordon Voidwell isn’t signed to a major label yet! I’m so tired of these labels releasing bullshit music, when geniuses like this are around.
The former fashion writer, turned david bowie fanatic mixes the sounds of Prince, Cameo, and new wave technique to create some hot ass music. Im digging White Friends, cause I can relate to it. Peep it below, and ADD HIS MYSPACE PAGE! He’s mad cool.

Here’s a pretty dope preview of Kanye West’s upcoming Storytellers special which airs in a few days. Im mad hyped about it too, he really outdid himself. In this clip hes doing a new rendition of Stronger, and if this is just a taste of whats in store, I can’t wait to see the rest.
Hedi Slimane recently shot Lindsay Lohan and even though most people are shunning her, I’m still infactuated with this chick. I can’t remember the last time she did anything remotely resembling work, but it’s all good. I think she looks great. Call me crazy!

So, I thought it was a joke at first, but it seems the Jamaican Parliment has recently passed a new law banning any music that depicts sexual acts or glorifies gun violence, murder, rape or arson. For the most part, that’s most of Jamaican Dancehall, which is often times EXTREMELY SEXUAL and or VIOLENT in lyrical content. Even the dances that accompany it seem right out of the Kamasutra. hahaha.
Many young Jamaicans are up in arms over the decision, saying that it violates their freedom to express themselves. But no law in the Jamaican Constitution guarantees freedom of speech, (Glad I’m American!). This video from ChunnelTV interviews several dancehall artists, and I guess I thought it relevant to my readers. What do you think? Should a government be aloud to censor what their citizens hear on public radio? I would agree with it, but once that ball starts rolling, other freedoms go with it, so I have to call them out on it, and say it’s not right, although I would NEVER let my nieces or nephews listen to any of it because its content is mature.
