Yellow Cake Mix

...let me rock ya Chaka Khan.


Things I'm digging:

Movies:

* "Good Night, Good Luck" (Best flick @ The punk ass Oscars! Those Oscar voters don't know their asses from their elbows!)

* "Van Helsing" (one day this movie will be heralded as a classic)

* "Nobody Knows"

* "In The Mood For Love"
(Wong Kar Kai is one of the baddest muthaphuckin directors of all time!)

* "Syriana" (layered story that bangs)


Music:

*Weather Report "Sweetnighter"
(1970's fusion @ its finest. classic album)

*Idris Muhammad "Power Of Soul" (Beautiful jazz from a righteous dude)

*RJD2 "Magnificent City Instrumentals" (You ain't ready)

*Ghostface Killah "Fishscale" (If you don't own this, you don't like Hip Hop Music! Ghost has been holding up the Wu-Tang flag like a true shoalin warrior. I wish this cat could have a zillion sales. My brother from an alternate reality.)

*Common "Electric Circus" (God, this sh*t sucked in 2002. No you don't understand---I thought this shit was ass crack. 2006? I'm somewhere else. It bangs now. Now all he has to do is stop treating this album like a red headed negro stepchild.)

*Coldplay "Rush of Blood To The Head"
(Chris Martin is one of the best songwriters living.)

*Miles Davis "Bitches Brew" (Come on. This is me, what did you expect?!? Another gem from the master.)

Books:

***Stephen King "Stephen King On Writing: A Memoir Of The Craft"
(This is like a mandatory writing manual.)

***Charles R. Cross "Room Full Of Mirrors: A Biography Of Jimi Hendrix"

***Mary Roach "Stiffed: The Curious Lives Of Human Cadavers"
(I need to finish book like tomorrow! I've been reading it off and on for like 8 months. It's a good read, I just put it down and didn't come back.)


Other random shit I'm digging:

*** "The work of director Mark Romanek" (DVD)
*** "Chapelle's Show Season 2" (DVD)
*** diabetes inducing Sweet Iced Tea
*** sleep (hey...this sleep thing is kinda okay)
*** chicks with Skittles colored toe nail polish
*** Herbie Hancock
*** Georgia Anne Muldrow (she is so somewhere else)
*** Japanese horror flicks
*** Gamecube
*** sophisticated literary hood chicks that dig Mobb Deep and John Coltrane
*** Sa-Ra (they are the future)

Last but not least:

***Chaka Khan (Chaka........Chaka Khan........let me rock you Chaka Khan)
