Oh Yeah...♥

I'll be 22 in 29 days... suggestions for birthday celebration? I don't even have any idea what I want to do. I'm pretty boring. Lol. Well, I'd prefer the term mellow...but whatev. Anyway, what I DO know is that the love of my musical life {who you should know by now} will be in Cleveland {my hometown} on August 5th. Granted he'll be a few days shy of my birthday, but I'll take it! I've never seen him in concert before {SMH} but I will be in attendance. Please believe it. 
Random side note: Have you ever listened to the live version of Jill Scott's "Gettin in the Way" from her Experience album? The commentary at the end of the song is hilarious.... lol.

OnMyRadio♥

I feel like music should make you fall in love again everytime you hear it... Or, at least your favorite music. Some stuff just serves a specific purpose. I have music that I only have on my iPod to keep me awake in the car when I have an early class or work shift, or when I have a long drive...I have stuff on there that I strategically add just to appease others who may ride in my car with me, because I absolutely refuse to subject myself to the radio, so I feel the need to compromise. Apparently everyone can't appreciate my mix of Jay-Z, Coltrane, Paramore, Jill Scott, Backstreet Boys, etc. That's fine, though. Lol. 
With that said, I love being at home because I have the freedom of my iTunes library. I don't have to pick and choose what I listen to... I just let it play. Of late, I've had a few things in heavy rotation:

♥Love Jones soundtrack
♥All of Raheem Devaughn's albums...yes, I'm officially addicted.

♥Alicia's first two albums (Songs in A Minor, Diary of A. Keys)
♥Boyz II Men's Cooleyhighharmony
♥Christina Aguilera's Back to Basics
♥Talib Kweli's Quality
♥Destiny's Child's Writings on the Wall (this is always in heavy rotation, and no one can convince me that this isn't the best album Beyonce & 'nem ever did.)
♥Hinder's Extreme Behavior
♥Jay's Black Album
♥Ne-Yo's In My Own Words
♥Pink's Can't Take Me Home
♥Lauryn Hill's Unplugged album (phenomenal, in my opinion!)
