Frank Ocean - Sweet Life



I must admit... After hearing and reading that Frank Ocean swings both ways, I was a tad skeptical and a little "Eurgh" about it.
Like.... I was listening to and twitter-tumblr-following a dude I thought was just super cool and just raking up  ladies details, then 
WHAM! 
My guy turns around and says
 "I'm bisexual" 
=\

At first I had an immature view on it, then I grew a little and some thoughts started dropping in my mind.

  • He's the first Hip Hop / R&B male I've ever heard of , openly announcing gay-ness. (apart from Tevin Campbell)
  • He's a black male in music
  • Imagine how many rappers are gay or have tendencies?
  • Imagine how many R&B singers are gay?
  • Imagine how many people in music are in a closet on a fence about their sexuality?
These questions got answered quickly by my ever-so smart mind...

They don't want to lose their audiences.
Like what it did to the famous Mr Ocean, he's lost some fans and maybe even gotten himself more from the gay community.
I've learnt that the world of music is very immature to situations like these... People are very extreme and even more often than not... hypocritical. Its NAFF.
What's going to happen is that every song that he will release from this point on will be inspected and swabbed for homosexual conno's... *sigh*...and we've got the first! lol

Sweet Life. Produced by Pharrell.


Jazzy.

Are what spring to my ears,


Regardless of his situation, Mr Frank is still providing the goods

Lightskinned by the iPad
Had work the day before.
Got work that day.
Work the day after that.
Then... I think I got work again

Mate... I just feel like throwing abit of nonsense out here for ya.
Living summer life here in Leicester isn't all that..... bad lol. I do miss all my homies that've gone back home to London for the hols. Even all the possibilities with the journalism, music and fashion are just ever so tempting, open mic and acoustic nights galore.
But I've got stuff to do, targets that I've set for myself that would be much simpler to achieve if I'm in Leicester... When I feel like I've gotten quite deep in it, I'll open the hatch and let you in to my mind - there are some vision-stealers out there lol.

BLEURGH...
Family and friends in London and around that may not see me this summer...
I love you.

In the meantime... just press f5, expect some photography, OOTDs, maybe even me playing some guitar/uke, or even some skating things.
Adios!

John Frusciante - Glowe




This track I just came across is an ultimate...

VIBER 

Everything about it is just PERRRRRRRRRFECT! Every click, clap, snare, cymbol hit and kick drum smashed is done with such precision and accuracy.

The very fact this track is only 1:30 is just ideal for them times when I'm in a rush out - like this morning when I had 20mins to get out of bed, shower, dress, and leave for my job interview =P.
No dilly dally, utilize every millisecond.

But yeah some brief history behind the genius - John Frusciante.
  • Former lead guitarist of The Red Hot Chilli Peppers.
  • Officially left in 2009. See the statement below:
To put it simply, my musical interests have led me in a different direction. Upon rejoining, and throughout my time in the band, I was very excited about exploring the musical possibilities inherent in a rock band, and doing so with those people in particular. A couple of years ago, I began to feel that same excitement again, but this time it was about making a different kind of music, alone, and being my own engineer.I really love the band and what we did. I understand and value that my work with them means a lot to many people, but I have to follow my interests. For me, art has never been something done out of a sense of duty. It is something I do because it is really fun, exciting, and interesting. Over the last 12 years, I have changed, as a person and artist, to such a degree that to do further work along the lines I did with the band would be to go against my own nature. There was no choice involved in this decision. I simply have to be what I am, and have to do what I must do.
Sending love and gratitude to you all.

As you have read, my guy went to follow his interests and be his own engineer.


He was a guitarist for probably the slickest rock band ever, but above all the money and fame, he remembers he's a musician.

If artists in music could all have this attitude, the world would actually be better place. Music not just for money, cars, clothes and hoes - but for the love of it.


My flatmates are pissed off I've been playing this track for the past couple of days, I've got the sickest head-bop now lol

P.S I'm getting that Letur-Lefr EP
you should too
