kirbyourmusic: Wyclef Jean's "Patwa Swagga Mixtape"

While up in NYC, I occasionally listen to the radio. . .just to see if there's anything I like that I haven't stumbled upon yet. And guess what? I have. . .Just goes to show you that you can learn anything at any time. But anyways, while listening to Hot 97 I happen to hear some Caribbean music. Well apparently there was this Caribbean/West Indian parade going on in Brooklyn and Hot 97 was there celebrating, dancing, and playing music. But on top of wondering why have I not heard about this parade until then, I started to hear this mixtape because they were premiering it on the radio. I was jumping and dancing wondering who the heck this was. . .Then it was announced that it was Wyclef Jean. I was shocked. . .Don't get me wrong I like Wyclef, but he's not someone I would called one of my favorite artist. So I was even more excited when I heard that his mixtape was free online! Now I loved that. . .Free AND good music. . .hard to come by. Anyways, I, being the ever-giving blogger of music (j/k) wanted to share this good music with you. . .So download, upload to iTunes, sync it with your iPod/iPod Touch/iPhone, relax and enjoy the sounds of the Caribbean. . .

kirbyourmusic: Radio Virgin

"In the beginning of time there was quiet. It was an erie calm that held on as long as it could across the whole universe. Then...Bam! There was a gnarly explosion. So gnarly that when the dust cleared there was rock. Then, millions of years later, there was rock music!"
-Radio Virgin

Radio Virgin, a Chicago and LA-based music group has really caught my attention over the past 3 months, and it's not just because one of my friends is a guitarist for the band (although I thank

him for introducing me to his band!). When I listen to their music, it evokes a style-fusion that you don't see much nowadays. . .a kind of 60s psychedelic funk in a 21st century life. . .displaced in time but rightly so. They make you fall in love with them through that kind of Zen-like feeling and incantation of psychedelic kings and queens like Mr. Hendrix, The Beatles, and Janis Joplin but with a 21st century ambiance with the likes of John Mayer and Adam Levine. . .This is a band I hope you all enjoy and support (as I will/do!)

You can find them on Facebook (become a fan!) and on MySpace (www.myspace.com/thehellavision) to friend them and listen to their amazing music!!!

kirbyourupdates: kirbyourenthusiasm is making the transition to an all music blog!

Hello bloggers/subscribers,

First off, I'm sooo sorry I've been off on my updates. The life of a jack-of-all-trades, master-at-none is not an easy one. . .Had to get upon my grown-up grind and take care of some business. . .lol. But I'm back now and ready to take it to the next level with my blog. . .

I originally intended for this blog to be something of a catch-all blog that really alludes to my personality. However, as I'm making my way into this world, I'm realizing that MAYBE (and you have to understand that this is a BIG one for me, lol) I want to master something: music. I've always loved music, and combined with dance, there's nothing more amazing that I'd rather do. . .So I dedicating this blog to bringing you all updates on the new/hot things in the entertainment/music/dance industries because although I'm not usually into the whole pop culture scene, the craft I've started to fortify lends itself to outside influence. . .Because what we all need to realize is that NOTHING is completely new. . .Everything is sampled and/or borrowed from something else. So the things that I post on my blog from this point seriously influences my craft and what I hope to become; whether it be positive or negative. . .So sit back, relax, and let me kirbyourmusicenthusiasm. . .
