John Mayer Shares His Untitled Song

I found this while searching on YouTube. John Mayer is testing out new music with his band while at soundcheck in Arizona. It sounds pretty good. Hopefully we can hear more. Maybe some lyrics added next time? The music is great but John's checkerboard pants were bothering me the whole video.

Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon To Renew Their Vows


Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon will say “I do” for the third time. Yes, the THIRD time. The couple is planning to renew their vows on April 30, their two year wedding anniversary. This made me laugh out loud. Why would you renew your vows and you've only been married for two years. Let the married life marinate. The rate Hollywood is going many people divorce sooner than that.

Nick told UsMagazine.com, “We get married every year! That’s our thing. So it’s going to be our third wedding this year. That’s what we’ll be doing on the actual [anniversary]…We’ll do something…A party or event, just to celebrate.”

Ummm.... does anyone think this is weird? Or am I the only one?

Nick also plans to get Mariah another ring, “This is the third ring I have to buy…It’ll be something different. Something good.”

Congrads...again Mr. and Mrs. Cannon

TMZ caught up with Lauryn Hill on the streets of Manhattan on Monday (April 19).

New Music: N.E.R.D. Feat. Nelly Furtado - Hot & Fun


N.E.R.D. are back to blow up the charts. The group teamed up with Nelly Furtado on "Hot & Fun" off their upcoming album Nothing, set to release June 15.

I immediately bobbed my head to this, but doesn't this remind you of Britney's "Boys"? A remix, even better version maybe? Its a hot record but Britney came to mind immediately.
Take a listen HERE and let me know what you like about it?

Ready For John Mayer's Summer Tour!


I love me some John Mayer! I'm even more excited for his tour this summer. I came across this video when I stumbled upon his Tumblr account again. John finished his winter tour and will be hitting a town near you this summer.

John wrote this on his Tumblr:
"As a thank you to everyone who came out to a show on this tour, my friend 13th Witness put together a little video memoir of the times we had on the road.

To those who came out…It’s safe to say I had some great times and some not-so-great times on this run. Every second on stage was an uplifting and beautiful experience for me, as I hope it was for you. My new favorite part of playing shows is looking around and watching you. It’s impossible to take a second of this for granted when I can see you letting loose and dancing and singing along and getting to watch that weight on your shoulders lift for 2 hours."

Enjoy the video!!!

Morning Video: Bob Marley

I haven't done a Morning Video in a VERY long time. This isn't a video but I wanted to post the song. It just feels like a Bob Marley kind of day. So, I gave you two songs! Enjoy!

Is This Love


Buffalo Soldier

Takin' It Back To An Old School Jam

I had to post this song. I heard it on the radio on Sunday when I was listening to the Rhythm Review with Felix Hernandez on NY's 98.7 Kiss FM. You have to check it out! It plays all the classics of R&B and Soul. This guy is so great he even gives you a little background information on some of the songs he plays. The song by Main Ingredient "I Dont Want To Be Lonely" reminds me so much of my grandpa I thought I'd share. A quick cool fact about this group Cuba Gooding Sr. sings in the group. Cuba is actors Cuba Gooding Jr and Omar's father.
