ladies first: patrice rushen.

sometimes the ladies don't get enough shine.
one of my favorite artists of all time is patrice rushen.
her distinct voice, her music, her grooves, her album covers.

listen to these tracks and tell me you don't feel like loungin with a doobie.

Where There Is Love - Patrice Rushen
(sampled for song in previous post)

Settle For My Love - Patrice Rushen

Havent You Heard - Patrice Rushen

Remind Me - Patrice Rushen
"Remind Me" always makes my heart flutter. A definite two-step joint. I cut rugs to this joint.

2 songs @ the core.

how can u NOT like these two tracks? i miss 90's hip hop.
for real.

Lyrics to Go


Temperature's Rising

Now I wanna read up on slug's sex lives! Crazy interesting.
Too bad I wasn't in LA to peep this FREE lecture and concert.

“A slug’s life: sex, color, and new species in the sea” by Patrick Krug
and!
A concert by Fol Chen

Far from your garden-variety, sea slugs are vividly colorful animals that display stunning adaptations to life in the ocean. While snails cower inside cumbersome shells, evolution has freed the slugs to cruise the sea in safety, sporting spectacular warning colors to signal they are not to be trifled with.

Some feed with impunity on poisonous animals, concentrating toxins or stingers from their food into their own bodies for defense. Others are the ultimate vegetarians, incorporating living parts of seaweed cells into their bodies, allowing them to live directly off of sunlight.

Patrick Krug studies them as a way to understand how new species form in the sea, and how global warming causes range shifts among coastal organisms — but mainly, he’s drawn to their dramatic sex lives. Patrick’s talk will explore the world of frustrated virgins, slug swingers, and inappropriate sex between species, illustrated with videos and slides sure to shock the more prudish of terrestrial vertebrates.

couple weeks ago, i headed to hifi buys amphitheater to see radiohead and the liars perform. met up with the coolies.

drank some brew. let the rain drizzle all over me. and watched one of the most amazing shows i've seen. the lights were fuggin awesome. ya know i love cool lighting. and i was content being on the lawn.

peeped this black family next to us, and mad was i soooo proud to see that shit. it was a mom and pops, their young son (think 8-11 yrs old) and she had one in the belly!!! At a RADIOHEAD CONCERT!!! man, that's me in 10 years. except, well, i won't have an 8 yr old already.
cheers bitches.



















i can't let this madness continue!


(photo credit: ME! i peeped this lady's 90's steez and had to treasure the moment forever. now only if she had the black quilted jacket with kente cloth "accents"...)

so here recently my life has been chaotic (when is it not).
ya know, the usual steez. plus school.
plus really being in all kinds of love with the mister.
add some summertime struggles.
mix in some planning for a SECRET FILM PROJECT shooting july and august (thank the lawd!)
coupled with late spring cleanin' and you've got yourself a heap of ArtKid's life.

plus to be fair, and honest, i haven't been inspired by much except for music.
