THE CARLTON – DJ STYLUS

I live in the land of nerds Silicon Valley, CA! I would consider myself a nerd!!. Since NERDS are the new black and the 90s are back, I’m dropping this cool lil gem for the KING OF NERDS. A mix dedicated to CARLTON mixed by Dj STYLUS.

“The Carlton” is an ode to the King of All ’90s Sitcom Nerds, Carlton Banks, and the sounds that he would likely be grooving to if were still around in 2010.

This is a fresh lil mix with a lil bit of everyone from Stevie Wonder to J Davey to Hall & Oats. All the songs have that CARLTON feel to it to definitely get you Bouncing…peep the vid I found to go with it after the jump SUPER CLASSIC.

MAIYA PRESENTS…ORGANIZED CONFUSION

Hi Everyone. What can I say–it’s been quite a month. For starters, Blind I celebrated our first SXSW showcase (Check out the pictures here) and it was incredible to be in the presence of musical greatness.  It has been a whirlwind for me personally these past few weeks, dealing with moments of jubilation and euphoria to death, grief and setbacks. Music has been my window seat. This compilation was due Monday but I needed to gather my thoughts and get the sound right. It starts out mellow and soothing and ends a bit more chaotic–just how it’s sounded in my head. I hope you relate somehow. Tracks/link next door.

“STYLE” INVITATIONAL, INDEED.

It may just be me, but I feel that this election and the recent debates have made me move further and further towards wishing Bill Clinton would run for election again if it was possible. The things this man says makes me reminisce about a time when the president actually knew what he was talking about. I’ve said since day one of Hillary Clinton’s election stint that Bill would be her trump card of sorts, especially with African-Americans. I mean, they even went so far as to ask Obama whether or not he felt Bill Clinton was the first black president. But I’m from Chicago, I’m black, I’m educated, and I STILL see the everyday struggle that so many need a mere symbol of hope to feel like they can still emerge. So I’ve come out with My Obama trump card.

Her name….is Monica Lewinsky.

Yeah. Remember shorty?

Received this in an email and though that it was quite comical:

The Washington Post runs a weekly contest in its Style section called the ‘Style Invitational’.

The requirements this week were to use the two words ‘Lewinsky’ (the Intern) and ‘Kaczynski’ (the Unabomber) in the same limerick.

Now, remember, the following winning entries were actually printed verbatim in the newspaper, no bleeps or xxxs:

Third place:

There once was a girl named Lewinsky
Who played on a flute like Stravinsky
‘Twas ‘Hail to the Chief’
On this flute made of beef
That stole the front
page from Ka! czynski.

Second place:

Said Clinton to young Ms. Lewinsky,
We don’t want to leave clues like Kaczynski, Since you made such a mess,
Use the hem of your dress And please wipe that stuff off your chinsky.

And the winning entry:

Lewinsky and Clinton have shown
What Kaczynski must surely have known,
That an intern is better
Than a bomb in a letter,
When deciding how best to be blown.

And now,

Be easy.
