To know me, is to know that I love Jazz... well, music of all sorts really. A HS and College friend took me to see the Roy Hargrove Quintet and I enjoyed it! We were scheduled to go to the 8pm show, but it was sold out, so we waited for the 10pm. Now, my granny-esque lifestyle prevented me from really staying wide awake, so I drank coffee. It was an awesome set... you should check him out! I posted an old Youtube for your convenience. Nice to hear GOOD music! Even better, it's a great feeling to have friends that enjoy a vast array of things. We swapped "new music", hit a party and ate breakfast, I ended up being out wayyyyy later than my usual late night! But... fun times are meant to be had!

Think it Over...
Him: Sooo... I'm no good at dating. I know how to have a fucking relationship. I know how to be friends. I know how to be in a relationship. I don't know how to be in between.
me: Yahhh...me either. Because either I'm investing, or I'm not. PERIOD!
Him: exactly. now i gotta listen to Bilal "levels"
me: lol
**Ladies, if you don't have platonic male friendships to balance out your crazy female friendships... I feel sorry for you! SERIOUSLY! My close male friends put things into perspective for me, and I go to them when I need a testosterone push! Anyway, "Levels" wasn't my thing this morning, but "Think it over" was.**

Indigo Charlie
Happy Hump day folks! Have you beaten your yesterday yet? =)
Anywayz, I stumbled upon this today while going through Clutch's site. I loveeeee the hair! I always think my hair is too wild when it gets that big, but she rocks it very well! She's Solange's personal assistant, and if you know me, then you know I'm a fan of that. YES... I would take Solange over Bey depending on the day! Solange has hella soul and does it for the art, not the machine.
Back to Indigo Charlie, that name is lovely to me because it combines my Gradpa's name and one of my favorite word colors. Yes, the word "indigo" is a favorite word color, right up there with magenta and coral. The video, I love it; it does a great job of capturing the back and forth of some relationships. As I blink my eyes, is that kid from the movie "Holes"? lol...The song is pretty dope as well. She reminds me of Lykke Li!
Peace... Nina B.

My Randomness...
This song makes me feel like I should be dancing in the kitchen cooking paella or inside a sexy tapas bar having sangria (white being my favorite) with my closest friends =) It makes me happy! Can't wait for Puerto Rico in January... much needed getaway!

I'm A Star
Gotta respect Ms. Chrisette Michele for doing what us natural hair folks call the BC (big chop). Takes a lot of courage, but speaking from experience it's refreshing and invigorating to love yourself without that mess society generally rules as a "mark of beauty" (long hair). I'm sad she didn't rock it more in the video, but I absolutely love the turban and her gray ant status sunglasses!
Anyway... her video for "I'm A Star" has been on repeat for me today and the lyrics are cute. I'm sure Ne-yo wrote it, sounds like his speed.
"I've seen it, done it, ran it, run it
Been to the bottom then i came back from it
That'll be the pain in the pit of my stomach
Dont regret a thing just keep it 100
I been the drama and the bad news
I been the struggle and the damn blues
Shed tears over silliness.
I seen a lot but know what
Its as real as it really gets..."
In the mean while, I'm LATE and checking out her mixtape with Lem Payne "Love Thy Brother" and so far so good, we shall see.
Peace...

Nina Simone "Central Park Blues"
Rainy day in Chicago... "MELLOW" is my mood, and I can't say that I'm complaining about the pace change.
