“Rolling in the Deep” (Jamie XX Remix) Ft. Childish Gambino - Adele. Yea this is going into heavy rotation. Happy Valentine’s Day. Peace, love and other drugs.



The Broken ♥s Mix is one of my favorite Valentine’s Day mixes. Lots of lesser known classics.



Forgot how much of a dancer Mya was. In “My Love is Like Whoa” she goes from burlesque to hip-hop to tap and back again.

The Content Farm: How to Become President of the United States

thecontentfarm:

TIPS AND WARNINGS

  • Every president so far has been a man. So if you aren’t a man and you want to be president, consider becoming one.
  • You may have heard of the “electoral college.” This is the college people who want to be president go to. Make good grades and they should accept you.
  • Sometimes presidents get assassinated. You should probably know that going in.
  • Presidents get to do whatever they want to the house they get, the White House, except paint it.
  • You can only be president for eight years. After that you have to go be president of another country or go to space or help people who need it or be Jimmy Carter.
  • If you’re president, you get all the nuclear weapons. Every president gets to destroy one country, so pick yours now.
  • Sometimes Congress and them are going to try to get all up in your face. Tell them to step.

Harlem has always been Harlem, and can’t help it.

Anyone who ever said Harlem is dead forgot that dead doesn’t mean a thing in Harlem. After all, the neighborhood is more alive in itself and its history than any other in New York, a city that has rebuilt itself so repeatedly and so relentlessly that it’s a wonder the Hudson still knows where to go. But Harlem is the brain of New York; it is the deep memory of the city, where past and present are fused into something that looks like the future. Harlem has always been Harlem, and can’t help it.

Suited and booted.
Ed Greens looking all tough.
Lardini with the tags still hanging off.
Slapping the weave off your baby mama.
If she thinks it’s okay to put her paws on soft shoulders.

A Social Value Chain Model: Music Ed.

bornin88:

              

A great artist doesn’t have fans, but brand evangelists. In “Direct Message From @JayElectronica: A Fan Engagement Case Study,” I explored digital brand engagement from the perspective of the fans. The above figure is a social media value chain model as executed by the artist. [Hi-Res]

Research in the economic impact of social media and direct-to-fan marketing is limited but artists like Lupe Fiasco, Nicki Minaj and Jay Electronica prove that strategic implementation of this marketing innovation will yield results. At a time where the record industry is in a severe decline, new and effective strategy is crucial to its turnaround.
