I'ma write something. Eventually.

This is a dual-purpose posting.

First of all, I would like to share something that literaryll found for me a little while ago that made me shriek like a little girl. Kanye West and Jamie Foxx performing Gold Digger & Touch the Sky at the Grammy Awards. Complete with bands, step shows, and fly 70s gear.

Now, Kanye can speak for himself, so what I want to publicly do is thank literaryll for all her time and energy, and the way that she is just so giving and and thoughtful, and in general, just a really fabulous person. This is why I have dubbed her The Miracle Worker. I don't come across people like this very often, which makes it all the greater when I do find them, so you know, thank you.

Secondly, I was multi-losing my rag today, not really paying attention to anything, when this voice started calling to me from my computer. Apparently, Gary from Snow Patrol and Guy from Elbow have had a baby, and they've named him Harry. Harry has a band called Kubb, which, apparently, is setting things on fire at the HMVs in the UK. So, here they are, My Musical Find of the Year, or at least so far this year -- Kubb 'Wicked Soul' & Kubb 'Grow'

Thirdly, (okay, so I can't count) can anybody figure out how to convert that Kanye/Jamie file so that my iPod will accept it, because right now, it's giving me the two-finger salute when I try to upload it from iTunes.

Ah, yes. My icon. Funny story, that. (http://www.livejournal.com/users/unholyglee/32523.html?nc=9) Also, my latest entry has an aside addressed to you.

No you did not just go there with Dana Dane and Run DMC and FUCKING GANG STARR! Now I must go dig out my Guru cd. For how old I was during most of the 80's, I should not know as much old-school R&B, Rap, Hip-Hop, Pop, and Rock as I do. However, when your primary human contact is a teenager who is music crazy, that'll happen. Sis is ten years older and was auto-babysitter for most of the 80's. The number of Saturdays I spent pouting because we were watching that new-fangled MTV or Sooooooooul Train! instead of the Smurfs were the angst in my preschool world. Then again, I was the only 10 year old who had a vinyl collection, let alone the LP single of "Rapper's Delight."

I wasn't much on gansta rap anyway, but I really stopped listening to most rap shortly after TuPac and Biggie were shot. Shortly thereafter, Cash Money Millionaires came on the scene. Coincidence? I think not.
