Ya'll folks and Baduism



Apparently you hipsters have never encountered Analog girl in a Digital world before.

Folks are FREAKING out about Ms. Badu's new video and how she gets all naked in it, totally disregarding the amazingness and 'isms of the track the video is set too. I haven't heard such a sound since Mama's Gun. There's also the interesting and artistic comments trying to making

Not to mention the fact that one should not be surprised or overwhelmed at the fact that she does strip. Listen, this woman is my heroine. I've been listening to her since I was 8--she is completely from another planet, another galaxy, another time. She'll tell you herself. I wouldn't be surprised if she gave birth to an illegal immigrant tye-dye baby jesus with an ankh on its head that threw up the Qu'ran in a bowl of milk, lucky charms style.

And as for the ass---it's just a black woman's ass.

Seriously, I'm uber excited my girl is gracing us with her neo-soul sounds once more, but I'm gonna need the new amerykah audience to get its act together. I'm also gonna need her to get lil Wayne out of the picture. Just saying.

Anyway, if you want to watch the video you'll have to go to her website and click the ankh on her lime green-oozing open purple skull... I'm not making up, those are the instructions.

Love waves and afros,

Don't answer your phone in this prison



Lady Gaga+Beyonce+Pussy Wagon= the Telephone Video.

Everyone is talking about it

The hot, queered, sexual prison yard kiss
the crazy narrative (?)
the endless plugs
the non-stop pop cultural references....

it's an eyefull, and it sure as hell better than video phone. However, none of these things are the best part of the video. The absolute best part is that at approximately 00:34 seconds a woman proclaims:

We gonna make you swim out of here in your own blood, bitch!

that's a respectable threat.

Don't mess with that inmate, and stay out of jail period ladies

*note, if you can't view the video below, watch it here


It's time

We were always spinning
whirling
mini buzzing catastrophes of media, sound bytes, and images.

or at least that's how its looked in my head.

for the longest time
i can remember
the world has never been black or white
on or off

but simply a constant HUM.

Music has been the one thing that's made the most sense to me. Musicians, lyricists, singer, songwriters, performers--they threw me life-vests when I was drowning in the grey.
Therefore, I've decided to use this space to complete the transformation that was already happening in give it to me grande.
This is me+whitespace, all dedicated to music, the community, and everything about it, filtered through my mind. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it.

Welcome Home, to Dziga Sounds; a blog dedicated to the electrifying, incessant, new world order of music in the digital age.

I know what you're thinking
"everyone's doing it, what makes you special?"





absolutely nothing. that's it. I'm just hopping on the bandwagon. Look through my window and see things from my seat for a lil while. That's all.

Cheers
