Want To Get Dirty?

Hey guys! Sorry for the delayed post. It’s courtesy of WSU’s Master in Health Comm program for keeping me drowning in projects.

Nevertheless, I wanted to tell you all about a really cool event called Go Dirty Girl. Sorry fellas, this is a women’s only event. Dirty Girl is a 5k mud run for women of all ages and athletic abilities. It is an untimed obstacle course and not a “race.” The group I’m in is called the Pretty Mudder Fudders and we’ll be in the Detroit, MI 5k in June 2013. I’m super excited about this event and I encourage women all over to check out the website and become informed about it. Even if you don’t get around to joining the event (registration ends in November 2012), you can come to be a spectator and encourage the other teams. Orrrr you can keep it in mind and try to make it in 2014. There will be music, grown people drinks, and rallying for a great cause. Part of the proceeds go to the Breast Cancer Foundation. Check out the link below for more info.

Oh Stormy

I don’t know about the rest of the world’s weather (although I could if I Googled it) but it’s a rainy and gloomy day in Detroit today. Which is surprisingly welcomed due the heat wave that we were recently hit with. I know, I know. Michiganders complain when it’s too hot and we complain when it’s too cold but I have to admit that I love having the best of both living in the mid west.

Here’s a song for this stormy day. An oldie but nevertheless a nice chill song. If you’re into that “easy listening” groove.

Hi Humans, Meet Dopehead

Mike Luke, better known as Dopehead, is a Detroit-bred unsigned hip hop artist whose unique wordplay and delivery of clever and poignant lyrics have gained him much critical acclaim on his recent mixtape titled “Plaid Palm Trees.” Following the success of “Plaid Palm Trees” Dopehead has recently re-released it in a deluxe edition with bonus tracks which is now available on iTunes.

Dopehead has been ranked at number #16 among many mainstream artists in Spin Magazine’s 50 Mixtapes to Listen To in 2011 article (Spin Magazine), along with receiving positive album reviews from magazines such as The Fader and hip hop blogs across the nation.

Often times recognized as a member of the Bruiser Brigade, his crew formed with Danny Brown a member of the recent 2012 XXL Freshman class of artists, Dopehead continues to stand out and show that he can hold his own as a solo artist. His lyricism embraces his individuality and his tales of growing up and living in an urban city as infamous as Detroit continues to resonate with it his listeners all over the world.

Currently, Dopehead is working on new music for his third upcoming album which is untitled as of yet. He intends to continue to give himself fully into his music never letting down his fans who always demand his obscure and often explicit lyrics to rock to.

If you haven’t already, you should definitely get with the Bruiser Brigade movement.

Happy listening and stay jooky!

Radiohead in metroDETROIT

On Monday, June 11, 2012 Radiohead made my entire year by coming to the Palace and playing to a crowd of well over 10,000 people which included me. I wish I could give you all a set list of the songs played that night but I was completely entranced. And I’m not just saying that because Radiohead is my favorite band. After going to several disappointing concerts in the past 2 years, it was very refreshing to see a band deliver (as expected) an excellent and seamless performance which reciprocated the excitement that the crowd gave them. Towards the end of the show Thom Yorke addressed the crowd saying “We haven’t been here in over 14 years, right?” The crowd erupted in screams. Then he goes “Ok, ok…calm down…we have something for you all” He laughs and then they performed Karma Police. I thought I was going to faint. I wish I would’ve taken more pics but I literally was dancing and singing too much to stop. I definitely recommend seeing one of their live shows.
