What I'm Listening to

I am often on the computer. I produce a weekly list of events that I distribute and it nearly consumes my Wednesday evenings. Love it though; my little 'community service.' So while I whittle away, I like to either watch a bit of television, usually reality TV, and/or listen to some hella good hip hop.

I've been trolling around Imeem, but I usually just go after oldies there. But the OkayPlayer webbie is looking better and better. Lots of good music, vids and just a wealth of information. They have an audio playlist on the front page that I am liking more than a little bit.

I created this screenshot to give you an idea of where the playlist is. I thought the image would be larger, but I think you can at least see the red arrow at the bottom or the image. Then the word circled in red is 'audio.' Check it out. Good stuff.

So the newest music that I actually have on my computer is:

Usher "Here I Stand"
N.E.R.D. "Seeing Sounds"
Amy Winehouse "Frank"

I am so diggin that "Frank." Just good music and original. The N.E.R.D. is cool. I like it, though it reminds me of their last project, which I also liked.

What's new to you and your playlist? Share the musical love hip hoppers ... kfox

More on the Tour Front

So if gas and a struggling economy are not clamping your wallet shut, then you are the perfect candidate to spend your loot on, not just a concert, but a concert that is well worth the cash.

I've recently blogged about some festivals, but here's a bit more:

Erykah Badu is just about done w/the U.S. leg of her tour; wrapping in Albuquerque on June 15

Kanye will be out there and the good news is that if you are not a Kanye fan, then maybe you are down w/Lupe Fiasco, N.E.R.D. or Rhianna. Not bad, and that tour includes some festival dates where you are certain to get a musical hodge podge.

Oh, and then there is RZA - it's the RZA as Bobby Digital Tour, yeah check that out if it's in your hood.

This crazy ass economy is gonna force us to make our own music and produce our own gigs - please do not let it come to that - however, if that is what you do hip hoppers, then do the damn thing! kfox
