The Headphone

It’s finally here!

It’s December 18th and do you know what that means?

As promised KJ’s highly anticipated album “The Headphone” drops today! Get excited, because I know I am *smiles*. I have nothing but love for KJ, his talent is insane and I want the world to be aware of it.

Here is a message from KJ regarding his album:

For 30 days starting from today my entire album “The Headphone” will be available for FREE download as a thank you but more importantly stressing that the music is the most important thing. I would rather people who dont know get a taste and people who do know get a gift, this concept was not a concept I came up with on my own

The Headphone is a collection of very personal songs. All made in a close time frame, this album is meant to take you on a journey, where? I dont know, it probably wont take you where it took me but that’s the cool part and that is what I love about music. I hope you can find the beauty in every song. As for the future, in the New Year the album will be available for purchase at some indie retailers across the GTA until some magic happens, from myself for a fee of $10 and obviously on iTunes and other digital outlets. “For Real” will not be on the purchase copy or itunes version for more than one reason, but will remain available for free download. Other than that all I can say is thank you for making it this far with me.

-KJ

JOTD: Brad Pitt

Todays Joke of the day made me chuckle so I thought I’d share.

Realistically vs Potentially

A young boy went up to his father and asked him,

‘Dad, what is the difference between ‘potentially‘ and ‘realistically‘?’

 The father thought for a moment, then answered,’Go ask your mother if she would sleep with BradPitt for a million dollars.Then ask your sister if she would sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars, and then ask your brother if he’d sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars. Come back and tell me what you learn from that.’ 

So the boy went to his mother and asked, ‘Would you sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars?  The mother replied, ‘Of course I would! We could really use that money to fix up the house and send you kids to a great University!’ 

The boy then went to his sister and asked, ‘Would you sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars?’  The girl replied, ‘Oh my Gawd! I LOVE Brad Pitt I would sleep with him in a heartbeat, are you nuts?’ 

The boy then went to his brother and asked, ‘Wouldyou sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars?’  ‘Of course,’ the brother replied. ‘Do you know what a million bucks would buy?’ 

The boy pondered the answers for a few days and then went back to his dad. His father asked him, ‘Did you find out the difference between ‘potentially’ and ‘realistically’?'  The boy replied : |Yes, ‘Potentially‘, you and I are sitting on three million dollars . But ‘realistically’, we’re living with two hookers and a queer.’

SOTD: You’re the One

This is one of my favorite songs right now. It comes from my favorite Youtuber Dondria Nicole aka “Phatfffat”. When it comes to her singing original material, typically I feel like the lyrics and song arrangement are pretty weak. This song (written by Jermaine Dupri) is sweet and Dondria kills the song without overdoing it. Her voice is just c-l-a-s-s-i-c!

The lyrics say alot to me. It’s simple but it’s to the point. This song is the closest thing to what R&B used to look like.

Take this song in.

Dondria Nicole “You’re the One”

On to the next one

Good Morning!

Let’s hop right on to it.

I’m noticing a trend that a lot of people tend to be on a ride lately. By that I mean it’s like people are on their own stupid/ silly agenda and I can’t grasp it. So I have a couple of questions:

  • Who’s the driver of this ride?
  • Why did they hand out so many transfers so folks can hop on and off of this ride?
  • Why has the ride been extended to males and females of all ages and heights?
  • When will this ride come to an end?

 

Can anyone answer this?

Why does everyone think that everything works on their time? Their agenda? Their game plan? You say something therefore it should be done? Last time I checked your no ones Queen of England so please have a seat. At any given moment you require something and request it gets done, I oblige, however I’ve been waiting for you to fill out my request for sometime and it cannot get filled? Okay. Alright. Then you ask for another request and expect it done ASAP, however you guessed it- I’m still waiting on my 1st request to even be halfway finished. On what planet does that jive?

The clock doesn’t work on your time, and your time only! Hello?

Then there are the ones that aren’t sure if they want you so they pop in for a couple of days then disappear for awhile and then pop in and so on and so forth. I mean, what? Can we keep some form of consistency? If you’re unsure whether or not I’m the correct female for you, keep things at a basic level- that’s fine. However, do not be hot for a couple days and then below zero for the next couple of days. That’s not very hard to ask, if not then please be on to the next one (on to the next one). This is 2009 on its way to 2010, common sense can be Googled, let’s face it  everything is on Google. Selfishness is not becoming and I wish people would realize this sooner. It’s unfair for you to expect people to put up with your sometime-ish (West Indians know this word lol).

Case and point there is an individual that put me on extreme ignore for a couple days. So I deal with the fact that you’re ignoring me because at the end of the day I can’t force anyone to talk to me. Then once you realize I’m not running you down, you go around telling people (like my AUNT) that I’m a b*tch? I’m literally “laughing out loud” as I write this. Get over yourself buddy. I refuse, I refuse, I refuse!  Don’t dish out what you can’t take. Keep it 100 with me and yourself. If you can’t pull off the “I don’t give a damn” persona then don’t even attempt it. You will not like the end result.

Good day

Why not keep the Performances of the Day Canadian based?

This comes from Lisa Lavie, a popular Youtuber who’s originally from Montreal (correct me if I’m wrong). In this video she covers Kings of Leon “Use Somebody”. I heart Kings of Leon and this song as well. She does a nice acoustic version of it.

Here is the original version sung live by Kings of Leon. He sounds exactly like the track, loves it.

Oh Owen.

You are simply amazing. Please I’m putting in a request for you to make a video for me. I don’t care you can sing about going to the mall for all I care lol. Owen, I will never ever ever get tired of your voice.

 Toronto’s own O’Sound killing it, per usual.

(I keep telling you all to get familiar!)

Just watch the video!

You know when you can’t get a song out of your head? My goodness, it’s been 3 days now. *Blank stare* . I was told it’s because my sub-conscious trying to tell me something. That’s fine, can it just happen then or give it a rest.

These are 4 different Youtubers covering this song Keri Hilson “Slow Dance”. Who do you think did a better job?
