Real Talk Tuesdays: Empire

Like most couples, my wife and I watch a fair amount of shows together - it's hard for me to find something I can watch that she's not interested in. A few weeks ago I gave Empire a try - took me about 3 episodes to get invested but now I'm all in. Great music, great performances, high stakes. Love it.

Madhouse Mondays: This pug

This lil dude has it figured out. My life goals are now firmly in place.

Feel Good Fridays: Vince Staples

There's been a lot of chatter lately about Vince Staples. I haven't really been impressed but this morning I listened to Summertime. Killer vibe. Killer tune. Dig.

Throwback Thursdays: New Edition

Not surprisingly, this is not the first time this week I have mentioned this song. Everybody cool it, now.

Way Gone Wednesdays: Thundercat

Thundercat has some deep flavors. Glad to see him having more presence these days. Definitely deserves it. Dig this cut (video directed by Carlos Lopez Estrada) - it's Way Gone.
