Annie, Are You Okay?

I just wanted to share some awesome, contemporary, string playing…

June is black music month, or African-American Music Appreciation month as President Obama has referred to it. Despite that, in Detroit, one of the cities in the country with one of the richest music histories, there does not seem to be much going on to celebrate. Nevertheless, Atlantic Records wants to help you celebrate black [...]
Chasing Janet Jackson
Ursula | April 16, 2011
One of the reasons that I decided to go to California for my birthday was because Janet Jackson was going to be there during that time. After everything that happened with Michael Jackson, I figured that it would be a good idea to see her once in my life while I still had the chance. [...]
Hold My Hand
Ursula | November 15, 2010
The first official single for the upcoming Michael Jackson album Michael is now available. The song is called “Hold My Hand” and features Akon. While I am definitely not a fan of Akon, and he completely overpowers this song, I still think that it is a good song. It sounds like something that Michael would [...]
This is Breaking News
Ursula | November 8, 2010
The musical moment that I have been waiting for is about to come. Nevertheless, if this is a sign of what is to come, then my excitement is quelled. There was so much talk about why Sony was taking so long to release new Michael Jackson material. The answer was that they wanted to do [...]
Detroit Jazz Festival 2010
Ursula | September 6, 2010
I had not been to any festivals downtown Detroit at all this year. I wanted to go, but I just never got around to making any of them. I did not want to miss the Detroit Jazz Fest, though, especially since Branford Marsalis was going to be there. I try to catch him whenever he [...]
Happy Birthday, Macy
Ursula | September 6, 2010
While I was generally displeased with Arts, Beats, & Eats, there were a couple of things that made it worthwhile. My main reason for going was to get a chance to see Macy Gray. I was met with another treat, though, in the form of War.
Dear Michael

Happy Birthday!
Sometimes
Ursula | August 28, 2010
…That is probably my favorite Anita Baker song. I did not expect her to sing it, but a girl can hope. I went to see Anita Baker live for the first time today, and it will probably be my last time. I am not the biggest fan of Anita Baker. I like most of her [...]
Gotta Love Lenny
Ursula | July 28, 2010
I am a Lenny Kravitz fan as much as the next person…well maybe more than the next person. He is my 18th most played artist according to my last.fm plays. This takes the cake, though. This has got to be the coolest thing that I have seen from an artist in a while. I am [...]
iPod Sync Is Complete
Ursula | July 10, 2010
I finally regained access to my main computer and iPod after converting higher bit rate songs on it. iTunes finally showed “iPod sync is complete” around 1:10pm; however, when I tried to eject my iPod, I kept getting a message that iPod was still syncing. I just waited a few more minutes and then I [...]
Convert Higher Bit Rate Songs…
Ursula | July 7, 2010
I am writing this post on my original iBook. Yes, I mean clamshell, blueberry, 3GB HD, 300mhz, cd-rom! Apple does not even make iBooks anymore. I run 10.3.9 on this computer, which alone takes up most of my disk space. It usually takes all of five minutes of surfing the web for my cache to [...]
Fix It!
Ursula | April 20, 2010
Today, I went to see Tyler Perry‘s Why Did I Get Married Too? with my parents and younger sister. I did not expect much from the movie, but I had seen the first movie and enjoyed it well enough. I was interested in seeing how some of the issues from the first film were resolved, [...]
Yes, Macy. There is Beauty in the World.
Ursula | April 14, 2010
If I am able to get past the first and maybe the second album, I still usually end up stopping buying an artist’s albums after the third. That is usually when they start to disappoint me. There are only a few remaining artists whose records I still buy every time they release one. These artists [...]
…Murder While I’m Eating
Ursula | April 9, 2010
In the past couple of years, I have been trying to be more conscious of what is going on in the world around me. I have resorted to occasionally reading articles from what some deem as “news for idiots”–USA Today and my local papers. I get tired of always reading tragic and sad stories, though. [...]
