PSYCH-a-DELIC READ
This is by far my fav. read of the moment. The title says it all, but there
is far too much within each of the pages that expose the truth behind all
human interaction and development. ITS CRAZY how true it is!!!!

GIGI
I stumbled upon Gigi's song "Guramayle" while watching this sweet documentary
God Grew Tired of Us on Netflix, when i realized her amazing vocals and echoing spirit.
I am so glad that I found her music. Better late than never, jamming out now as we speak!!!
"Ethiopian chanteuse Gigi has found the ideal sonic foil in producer Bill Laswell. He provides a solid foundation for her compositions and airy voice, grounding them with gospel organ, an elastic rhythm section, and contributions from some top jazz names, including Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, and Pharaoh Sanders, to lend an air of adventure. Gig's Amharic lyrics might not be readily understood by American ears, but her seductive tones are warm enough to translate into any language. Despite its studio gloss and sometime ambient excursions, as on "Adwa," the record was made by real, live musicians, without loops or samples, giving it a richness and depth. The music works superficially as pleasurable background, but listen more closely and there's a definite sophistication to the tracks that gives the album longevity, and marks Gigi as an emerging major talent." --Chris Nickson

ODE TO ISSEY
So I'm super duper OBSESSED with Mr. ISSEY Miyake,
most importantly because of his emphasis on "minimalism".
His new scent speaks that story of the scent of the mountains of Japan,
and is based off of the "poetry of minimalism" .......,..
