Song of the Day – ‘Duel of the Fates’
Finally back in work out rhythm. In acting rhythm. In writing rhythm. Personal life in rhythm. Inner peace level is comfortably in the ninety percent range. Mood… Enjoy!

Song of the Day – ‘Favorite Thangs’
Putting together my playlist for the current project, the streaming rabbit hole turned me back to this underground cover my cousin turned me onto years ago. My Southern roots may have me biased, but this hook still makes me pump my fist. What an inventive cover! Enjoy!
Song of the Day – ‘Other Side of the Game’
Music time. Was creeping around Questlove’s video stories of his Game Night and this song popped in my head. Groove time, enjoy.
‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’
Didn’t really go in with any expectations, and have to say I enjoyed it. Not another origin story (thank God) but picking up where ‘Civil War’ left off, the first real ‘Marvel’ Spider-Man movie feels that way. Not just because of the Iron Man and Captain America cameos, but just in general tone. There […]
Song of the Day – ‘Anything’
So this album came out during Ramadan I believe, and my people have been trying to get me to listen in for the past couple weeks. Finally had time, and it’s nice. Have a good weekend everyone!
Song of the Day – ‘I Guess That’s Why They Call It The Blues’
Keeping with the Blues theme… Definitely my favorite song by Elton. Always heard he thought of it as a ‘Ray Charles song’. Was way too young to know this when I first fell in love with it, but evidently that’s Stevie playing harmonica in the middle section (as if I needed more reason to […]
Song of the Day – ‘Birth of the Blues’
Hope everyone had a good 4th. I’ve mastered the art of not obsessing about work when I don’t need to be thinking about it, so I remain in my good place. Quick thought on the new Jay-Z album. Is it a masterpiece? Eh, I think we need more than a week before we give […]
(Untitled)
What’s up? So I don’t have a lot of deep thoughts this Eid. The train is rolling so this will be assorted quick hits… ‘Hasan Minhaj: Homecoming King.’ Uploaded to Netflix right around when Ramadan started, so I didn’t say anything that weekend. But if you haven’t seen it yet, give yourself an hour […]
Salaam
His birthday just passed, but Malcolm has been on my mind a lot heading into this Ramadan. Not Spike’s dramatization of his life. Not even Malcolm’s own dramatization, as expressed in the Autobiography. I’m referring to the thorough breakdown provided in Manning Marable’s great book. After he was gone, Malcolm’s legacy continues to grow internationally […]
Song of the Day – ‘Addicted to Love’
Stepping up a decade from yesterday to bring you into the 80s and one of the most iconic music videos of all time. Last song for awhile so tried not to be too esoteric today. Enjoy!
