Creep

patiently waiting for the rest of those concert dates to be announce...

Hey operator...

Not sure why I'm in such a Sam Cooke mood but i've been listening to him all day...maybe its b/c I'm thinking about my lady?



This song was also beautifully executed/covered in the opening scene of Ali

Buggin' out

Just as I Am...

Clip of Bill Withers performing one of his many classics. This performance is from Zaire 74 music festival which accompanied the Rumble in the Jungle heavyweight boxing championship match between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman in October 1974.

This clip and others can be seen in the music documentary: Soul Power. If you haven't seen this movie then you need to check it out asap!



His performance of this song at Carnegie Hall is my favorite live version...click HERE to listen

Redemption

Below are a few funny comments that I saw on FB last night...

"Michigan St. needs a bailout..."

"damn how many records are we gonna break tonight?"

"Kongrats to da Carolina! We got this in the bag! skrew the "hills" yall should be watchin the real HEELS!"

"Our Father, who art in Chapel Hill, hallowed be thy game. Thy tourney come, thy championship be won, in Detroit as it is in the Dean Dome. Give us this day our deserved victories. And forgive us our turnovers, as we forgive those Spartans who cheer against us. And lead us not into defeat, but deliver us from the upset. For N.C. is the basketball kingdom, and the tradition, and the glory, forever and ever,amen!"

"THIS AIN'T SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAARTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"

Public Enemy # 1

Michael Man + J. Depp = Greatness! One of the few movies that I am looking forward to this summer...

Voodoo

I found a pretty good mini documentary on one of my favorite albums...D'angelo's magnum opus...Voodoo.

"The term R&B doesn't mean what it used to mean. R&B is pop, that's the new word for R&B...(Contemporary R&B)'s a joke, and the funny thing about it is that the people making this shit are dead serious about the stuff they're making. It's sad—they've turned black music into a club thing."
~D'angelo circa 2000

Ironically this album...more specifically this video caused D'angelo to lose his mind and possibly is explains his 9 yr absence from the music scene...

I heard he was making a comeback...possibly this year???

How old is fifteen really?

I think I've posted just about every second of this stand-up....but this routine is pure genius!

Barnes Dance

The one night that I spent in the Shibuya district of Tokyo during my excursion in Japan in 06' was nothing unbelievable...and not long enough...

Hachikō Square in Shibuya, Tokyo

pic taken by /\ltus

I was by myself that night...away from the other study abroad students...and this pic reminds me of a few things I did that night:

-I walked back and forth through this crazy intersection several times that night...

-I bought a cup of coffee at the Starbucks on the right...

-I bought two cd's from the HMV; Donny Hathaway's These Songs for You, Live and the Lost in Translation soundtrack...

-I bought an Epiphone SG 400 from a guitar store that was somewhere off on the left of this pic...

good times, good times...

thanks Barnes.
