New Music. New Art. In Real Life...

So. Freaking. Excited!

Okay... Really, San Francisco? I mean, I was already in love. And then you bring this to the table? Swoon!

Mic Drop on Hollywood...

Dumbfoundead... Support the artist!

A few years ago, as I was settling back into life in the States, I had an epiphany of sorts that I'm sure struck most people long ago.... The internet felt really white to me. 

This is because much of what I because much of what I use the internet for is to keep tabs on art, music, fashion, and other manifestations of 'culture'. So I guess what I was finally noticing is how white pop-culture is. 

I love the way that Jonathan Park, aka Dumbfoundead, has turned the insidious whitewashing of Hollywood around. In an interview with NBC News, he shared "I wanted to flip the script on the conversation everybody was having about the whitewashing of Hollywood and 'yellow-wash' some of the most iconic films starring white male leads." Genius.

The Song That Has Me Dancing Around the House...

O-Ophelia... The Lumineers

It's come to my attention that there's a little concert in Napa this weekend... these gems are playing it. I, alas, will not be in attendance. Mostly because I found out about it too late, but also because it turns out that I'm also allergic to festival concerts. Or so my experiences in Coachella would have me believe. 

But if (when?) you find me dancing a merry jig around the streets of San Francisco, you'll know that this sweet song is on loop in my head.
