Pandora’s Folly

August 26th, 2010

I’ve discovered Pandora! Or should I say, I’ve rediscovered. My regular computer is acting wonky, so I’m using my backup (the one that is over 5 years old). I can’t even farm my crops on Farmville…the horror! Anyway, because of the wonkiness of this computer, I’m unable to access my Rhapsody application as normal when I’m working. So, I pulled up Pandora. Wouldn’t you know that I have an account? Must be pretty old, but it works, so hey…

Right now, I only have four stations (Jill, Common, Ye, and Pac), but they are most certainly fulfilling the need. It’s one of those things that you can just put on and let it play. Good background music. Particularly, last night I was on the Ye station and it was rotating through some good stuff! I was pleasantly surprised.

So yeah, I’m on Pandora. I think I’ll stay awhile.

Happy Birthday, Tupac!

June 16th, 2010

Of course I could not let this day go past without celebrating and remembering Tupac.

I am not going to say much, because what needed to be said has already been written. I will say this: I don’t remember Pac for his music as much as I remember him for what he was. He was a diamond, a passionate poet who lived his life with fervor and purpose. He may not have been the very best MC, or even had the illest flow, but he made you stop and think. I think that is immeasurable, and something that is surely missing from today’s Hip-Hop music.

Happy Birthday, Tupac Amaru Shakur. You are missed…
