If you were wondering why I haven’t blogged in awhile, it’s because I’ve been on my major grizzly. I did however, find time get my hair did at the ah-mazing Hair Rules Salon with head stylist Dickey. Is that Sowmya or Sowmya Kardashian? Owww…
I hobbled (sans boot) to rapper Common’s album preview for The Dreamer/The Believer (in stores 12/20) last night. Although I’ve heard the record in total already, it’s always a different experience hearing the music with the artist himself (not to mention the open bar-guzzling groupies in attendance). Overall, a solid and definitely a contender for one of the year’s best rap albums. Peep my full review at the Village Voice and take a looksie at Com performing “Raw” acapella. As a new iPhone owner, I didn’t realize the whole shooting in portrait vs. landscape thing. Oopsies.
I didn’t hobble over to Frank Ocean’s first NYC show last night but the good folks at The Life Files did. Check out Mr. Ocean with a sassy bandana performing “Thinking About You”. Once this lame boot is off, I’ll see you good sir.
