Music By...Tyler, The Creator

---

I am a Tyler, The Creator admirer. Controversial? Whatever, the guy is creative. I think he fits the description of what an artist should be. He makes certain people feel uncomfortable, angry, and confused by his work. He creates an outlet for others through his music..finally someone understands what they feel. Someone is communicating all the warped up emotions. He makes his voice and his art seen by everyone. I appreciated "Goblin", it was a good album, but I love "Wolf". "Wolf" is more tame and will draw in those who are hesitant to listen to Tyler's earlier work because it may seem violent. "IFHY" is a good example of a song that kind of creates a balance between Wolf and Goblin. It has the harsh words leftover from "Goblin" but this time it's mixed in with the slight vulnerability shown on "Wolf". I love the way Tyler expresses the frustration and elation of being in love with someone. How one minute that person can drive you completely mad and off the wall, and the next you just want to be immersed in them and everything they represent to you. And the wordplay...you don't even want to get me started on that.

Music From...Back in the Day

---

So, I normally wouldn't post so many videos at once, but I couldn't help myself. Sometimes, I get this urge to listen to songs from the 'olden' days and reminisce about the good times, and today is the day. These songs hold so many memories--breaking it down with Janet Jackson in the middle of my living room, attempting to make a music video (and failing) for 3LW's 'Not this Time' or blasting the Spice Girls cd from a boom box while double-dutching outside in front of my building. Montell Jordan's 'This is How We Do it' makes me want to go to a house party wearing a jumpsuit (House Party, anyone?). After I'm done with this post, I'm definitely going to spend the rest of my night reacquainting myself with music hits from the 90s and 2000s. Yea, that's how I'm going to procrastinate. And on that note, I bid you guys adieu; it's time for my monthly dose of nostalgia.

Feeling nostalgic

Music By...Tame Impala

This song is sexy is on it's own accord. And the video makes it even sexier. I've always been a Tame Impala fan. "Solitude is Bliss" was the anthem of my angst-filled high school years. I think Lonerism is a really good album and I'm so sad that I missed them when they performed at the 9:30 Club here in DC a couple of months ago. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to catch them at a music festival this summer.

Keeping my fingers crossed.

Music By...Kilo Kish

Kilo Kish is a recording artist and songwriter. Her music style is very unique; it's a mixture of her singing, rapping and talking. This song, Navy, is one of my favorite. The music video definitely fits the cosmic theme of the song.
