Honey Larochelle

Categories: Interviews, Music

We’ve already talked about her once before so lets cut the chit chat and get right to things, re-introducing Honey Larochelle.

When was music it for you, when did that light bulb go off?

Well, my mom was a singer, so that’s all I’ve ever done. It’s sort of like taking over the family business so to speak.

Who are some of your musical influences, your sound seems closely rooted to the neo-soul sound?

Well, my mom raised me on soul and acceppella. So Stevie, Prince, and Take 6, were the ones I loved most. Also, Anita Baker. But over the years developing my sound, I was definitely touched by many of the neo-soul era as well as rock n roll, hip hop and funk. Jill Scott, and Erykah Badu or course, the Beatles, Gavin Degraw, Dave Matthews, and so many more have influenced me for a time or a season…

Jay-Z: History

Categories: Music

Can we officially say that Jay-Z has transcended his place in music from hip-hop to mainstream popular culture?  This new track “History” is a heat rock.  Supposedly, it’s a feature on his highly anticipated “Blueprint III,” which is scheduled to drop in January.  Not only does Jigga lace the bars, but he got T-Pain to sing the chorus sans vocoder, along with Kanye West to produce the track.  T-Pain without vocoder? That’s history in itself.

Jeezy’s album, The Recession, is just another step in the right direction, which direction that is? It doesn’t even matter is steps the right one, and as long as he’s making music like this, his steps will just keep heading down the right direction, where ever that may be.

Forgotten City

Categories: Architecture, Etc.

Unearthing a city sounds like something from a movie, like finding them bringing up the city of Atlantis from the depths of the sea. Well, Bulgaria must have seen one too many movies because they decided to give it an actual go. Found at the bottom of a lake in 1948, the so called Forgotten City, now known as the city of Seuthopolis may be given new life. The concept/idea/plan/dream/hope it fucking works is that local authorities and Tilev Architects want to make a dike that’s 460 yards around and 20 yards deep (below the water), now I have no clue what a “dike” is but from what it sounds like and the concept pics it would be like an inverted island, with the city being at the bottom of the water instead of sitting on top.

Fig Shaped Lamps

Categories: Design

Great thing about the internet you can find anything, anything you want, or may not even known you wanted. But that’s what it does it brings things to you that you never expected, like these fig shaped lamps, but another thing the internet does, it brings you languages you don’t know. Connecting worlds, finding anything including the unknown, and showing you that your language isn’t as big as you thought.
