Happy 9/02/10 day

The best way to celebrate 9/02/10 is to watch old episodes of, what else, Beverly Hills, 90210. I watched this show since I was 6 or 7 (with my parents in the beginning) and kept up until the gang’s sophomore year of college when the show jumped the shark. There are times I still yearn for a slice of Nat’s pie at the Peach Pit/After Dark or a fist bump with Brandon Walsh. Le sigh.

Anyways, here are some choice clips including David Silver’s take on Das EFX.

Good music: Wiz Khalifa “Black and Yellow”

Wiz Khalifa delivers on his highly anticipated first single “Black and Yellow” (produced by Stargate). I didn’t even know Stargate did rap (Wikipedia fail) but the beat goes hard and the hook is super duper catchy. Shout outs to the homie Artie for the track.

Video: ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ season 3

Bravo just keeps pulling me in don’t they? The trailer for the Real Housewives of Atlanta is out and boy howdy it looks spicy. Bye bye Lisa Hartwell and hello two new randos. I still think Tameka Foster Raymond should be on this show. Oh c’est la vie. October 2nd…don’t be tardy for the party.

Good music: Raekwon, Kanye, and “a girl” named Justin Bieber

Is it Mariah Carey circa 1995 or Justin Bieber? Either way, this Runaway Love remix with Raekwon and Ye is pretty amazing. Don’t knock it until you hear it. Thanks to Mikey Fresh for putting me on this one.

Video: V.V. Brown meets DeGrassi

DeGrassi‘s “Boiling Point” season finale came last week. How I love the intrigue of Canadian teenage life. Until I figure out how to spend my weeknights here on out, here’s a cute little season wrap-up with the awesome music of V.V. Brown’s “Shark in the Water”

Randomness: my new haircut

Sowmya K — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 03:16:19 +0000

Got my hair did today. Added some layers and caramel highlights. A nice bit of umph to my usual long wavy black locks. You likey? Thanks Life Booker and AR Salon. Slow news day meets healthy (?) self-indulgence.

P.S. Yes those are my famous Liz Lemon glasses. Nerd swag on a 100,000 trillion.

What happened this weekend: 135th Street Agency bbq

Event: 135th Street Agency bbq
Venue: El Patio of Talay Lounge, NYC
Tunes: DJ On Point and DJ Will (Power 105)
Sightings: Everyone and their mom. Styles P, Sheek Louch, Miguel, Datwon Thomas, and Free. The bloggerinos (Low Key, Necole Bitchie, Xilla, Jasmine, Chuck Creekmur, the Fly Guys, Monee, Aura, Tracey Ford, Aimstar, etc. etc.) held court right up front.

The lovely ladies of the 135th Street Agency, Shante and Saptosa, brought out all the NYC industry heads for their annual bbq and fish fry this weekend. Great outdoor location and many friends to see. Hennessy Black + Vitamin Water Zero (which thanks to Jasmine the Fly Girl, I realized taste pretty amazing together) kept everyone hydrated and in a great mood. Awesome event to end the summer. Pics below!

Video: Drake gets his Sinatra on in VMA promo

Sowmya K — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 18:05:55 +0000

Drake gets his Frank Sinatra on for this MTV Video Music Awards promo. You know I’ll swoon over anything with the Drizz; could’ve used more nudity though.

Video: Drake feat. Lil Wayne “Miss Me”

Sowmya K — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 22:41:42 +0000

The Drizz and Wayne (shot before he went to jail) join forces for “Miss Me” in another Anthony Mandler-directed music video. I heart the hook on this song. Not sure what the molotov cocktail/stripper visuals are supposed to mean but I sure do love seeing Drake do the Drake hopping dance.

Best screenplay cover ever?
