Florence + The Machine

During this extremely busy month, I drafted this post about the music group Florence and The Machine.

The week  following the MTV Video Music Awards seemed like the perfect time to post on this […]

Here is the official trailer for the film “For Colored Girls,” based off of Ntozake Shange’s award-winning play, For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf. The original play/choreopoem is one of my favorites. It has a strong message, addresses pressing issues, and was creatively powerful. I must admit, I cringed […]

Long-Lost, Lily Allen

As a blasted some of my favorite Pandora stations at work, Lily Allen came across my computer screen. I soon began to muse about her first CD and how much I loved her pop, alternative, glam-rockish sound. Where are you Lily? From her cross-over hits with Common and Mark Ronson, to her social activism, to […]

It pulls back from the shot, […]
