Create your own Music beats

In the early days, to Create your own music beats you must get the whole band, rent out the recording studio just to get your hands on the keyboard and the synthesizer. But now the game has changed, all you need to make your own beats is a software which contains almost all of the instruments you need for producing any style of music. This means you don't need any expensive equipments to… Continue

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...

Usually I am a very optimistic person. I am always happy and smiling for the most part and don't let many things get to me. I must say, though, in the nights following Thanksgiving things have just been getting out of control and go from bad to worst. Here is a small list of the progression of events:

1.) An ex-boyfriend called me. Usually I wouldn't care, but this ex, well, he and I had been dating for four years. I was just getting over him when he called to tell me that he wanted… Continue

"If They Weren't Black"

I gotta admit that sometimes I only give a band the time of day because the color of thier skin. It's a principles thing to me. I have supported some bands just because society has tried to be restrictive of us being into different music, so I support their struggle, even though the music puts me to sleep. Living Colour falls in this category for me.

I listen to a lot of genres of music, have always been like that...but on an ongoing basis the only genres I go back to are usually… Continue

White House Crashers! What?

Just in case some of you haven't heard about the Salahi's, they are a couple that walked into the White House state dinner on 11/23/09 without an invitation, and the Secret Service wasn't doing their damn job. The Salahi's took pictures with the Vice President, and they are seen in photographs with the President. Now the Media seems to think that this is cute, but any other persons(black) would have been checked at the door. "They" might try to eliminate Obama and blame it on the… Continue

I doing too many things at once that my brain may split in 4s

Lately I've felt that I'm seriously doing way too many things. I go to school 8 hours a day sometimes depending on Mon or Wed I could be there for 12 hours. I work and being in today's economy I need another job but we won't discuss that today lol. I'm constantly doing Art projects but not the ones that I want to do. Since starting school I haven't had anytime to write, draw out my graphic novel/comic books, design clothing/jewelery, and the list goes on and on. It sucks!! I wish there were… Continue

An open call for contributors to Boldaslove.us

That's right: I'm looking to add more regional coverage. Someone's already raised their hand to cover the East Bay, but I'm definitely interested in bringing regular coverage of what's happening in the black rock/Afro-Punk/black alternative scenes in some other cities such as:

Atlanta
The DMV (that's DC, Maryland, Virginia, for those who don't know)
Chicago
London

If you're interested, or if you can…

epiphany

well i just had this epiphany. from all of what i learned in my history class. and recently listening to rap music on the side has actually reinforced this distinction. the reason that i have such problems with men is because of the foundation that the united states of america was built on. all throughout history, the colonization of european immigrants to america have been and always will be white. and not just white, but its actually an ingrained belief that the white race is superior. and… Continue

The Taboo Ingenue Anthem.

this sort of absolution has got that skull and cross-breeding of bone structure etched onto its person. a younger flame abounds to the spy of the fly, and swallows noir supplements to make the romantic falling rain scene abate as the sidewalks dry. eight years younger and to the day, i'm still holding the roses' bouquet. whats worse is the looming echo voice baying front to my center says i'd still be apt to present them to ms.fortune, in return for little more than her aramid necktie sling…

naomi campbell temper

and i'm not going to apologize for it today. i'm just going to feel it and embrace it and tomorrow i'll be fine. anger is a healthy emotion and i don't think women experience it enough. i can't keep it in and i refuse to pretend like everything's fine when it so obviously isn't. all day long people have been pissing me off. and i still haven't started my paper yet or studied for my exam really. i have a serious anger problem sometimes, my whole family does. i don't think i've allowed myself to… Continue

Woman Calls 911 To Report That Her Daughter Is Better At Oral Sex

An Ohio woman must have meant to call her shrink and not the police when she reported a crime of passion in her home. What was the crime? Her daughter had performed oral sex on her husband. (He’s the girl’s stepfather.) I think that’s against the law of basic human appropriateness, but unfortunately there is no legislation for oral sex in the state of Ohio. But oddly enough, the woman wasn’t actually upset about the BJ—she was upset about the… Continue
