Alexandria VA a place for cocktails!

Not exactly the biggest national notoriety but in reading my subscription of GQ I came across Alexandria,VA on GQ's top 25 places (Alexandria placed 8th) for the best cocktail bars in American.

Its at PX in the elegantly classic area of Old Towne (and HELLA expensive) Alexandria.

Big Up, VA!

Sky Notes on High

"Prototype (remake)" feat. Jesse Boykins III >> definitely becoming a fan of Mr. Boykins and was really feelin' his rendition of Prototype, one of my favorite Andre 3000 songs, definitely wanted to post it....FEELIN IT!!



"AteTeaEight" feat. BlameOne, Beleaf, & Ruslan >> the title gives aways the feeling behind this song...feeling a lil bit, BlameOne has had a couple joints catch my ears.



"Boombox" feat. Von Pea >> these last few tracks Von Pea been puttin' out has gotten me hella excited about his upcoming solo LP...can't wait...FEELIN IT!!!
P.S. Does anybody recognize the beat, sounds something from a Musiq Soulchild song...maybe that's just me...



"G.O.O.D. Friday" feat. Kanyeezie, Kid Cudi, Big Sean, Pusha T, Common & Charlie Wilson >> Mr. West at it again, this joint i like, don't care about him, i care about the music and this is good hip hop....point blank....I here a resused drum sample( Hey Mama of Late Registration)...FEELIN IT!



"The Good Shephard" feat. The Nice Guys >> feeling this joint a lil bit...Houston STAND UP!



"Blow Up" feat. J. Cole >> SO FREAKIN EXCITED about J. Cole coming on to the scene. His last mixtape, The Warm Up, is on my top 15 list of classic albums....period! Can't wait. The fact that every track that he has had he produced, if it wasn't an original beat he was flowin' over, is too impressive to me...FEELIN IT!


Love by Shore Fire
"Love" feat. Chuck Brown & Jill Scott >> Since I live in the DMV area what better way than to shout out and represent by sharing something from the Godfather of Go Go himself.



"Cry Over you" feat. Yahzarah & Phonte >> SO SO SO SO SO FREAKIN EXCITED for this album to come out too! This is off The Foreign Exchange's 3rd LP, Authenticity...coming October 12th...FEELIN IT!!!


OLD SCHOOL FOR THE MOMENT:

One my favorite underrated groups of the 70's era.  The Sylvers are pretty much a Jackson 5 without the Michael.  All three of their albums, The Sylver I, II & III, are definitely solid and not so surprisingly there were many other groups out there at the time that were just as good but the Jacksons just stole the spot light....Watch Unsung on TVOne, learn somethin' while your at it haha.


Other music news:

• RocNation, Jayz's label under live nation has legendary potential...my two favorite artist on top right now, J. Cole and Wale, singer I have been following for a couple years Daniel Merriweather, and Will Smith daughter, Willow is also signed under RocNation and does not sound half bad
• Gordon Gartrell Radio is finally back on the scene.  My favorite podcast from Phonte and DJ Brainchild
  
• TVONE'S Unsung is back, showing at 10 p.m. every Monday!...watch and learn your history.
  

Funny Friday: If history had facebook

I thought this was hilarious, but i am also a history geek when I want to be...

Enjoy the weekend!  The great weather of Autumn is here.

Poverty is a crime....

Or a reason for job termination.


Kirsten Arianejad, a Compass Flight Attendant, was terminated from her job her sharing publicly that she receives food stamps.

Just had one of those days

Yeah I know I've posted this picture before but definitely needed this kit today.

You know the feeling you get when you feel like an idiot in not being to get a task done and people have high hopes? I have had many of the occurrences in my field but then you may suspect I suck at what I do or what I do requires a good amount failure before success. In any case...

12-hour work day with no positive results...

But then you remember you are alive and healthy and there's always tomorrow....

In this crazy world, I thank the Lord for that...
