Just Another Day Out in Sunny LA

Thursday, June 25th, 2009
Gah. This video makes me homesick. Pacific Division's "Mayor" has been on the "most played" (played in a good way, lol) list in my itunes for a while now, but this video damn near brought a tear to my temporary Atlantan, bout to be Iowan eyes.  The Forum, the Roscoes t-shirt, the beach, the palm trees, even the random shooting noise that causes everybody to duck down for a second, it truly captures the essence of LA. The real LA, not the one that out-of-towners paint as superficial and label-obsessed.

Shawn Chrystopher at LRG Spring ‘09 Photo Shoot

Monday, December 29th, 2008
The other day my little brother came to me complaining about the lack of new, and good music floating around. I quickly pointed him in the direction of Shawn Chrystopher.   Granted, Angela and I went to college with Shawn (yeah, he's a smart dude too) but that's not the only reason we tilt a head nod his way.  I went to high school with a lot of dudes trying to be rappers nowadays, but you won't see… Read More
