Artist: breakfasts

The good news: Kreayshawn and 2 Chainz have toned down the gore of previous video collaboration "Murder" , and have instead opted for a more playful concept for their "Breakfast (Syrup)" clip. The bad news: the song is Kreayshawn's lead single from upcoming debut LP Something 'Bout Kreay (out August 14), and it's one big tuneless sausage. The vid starts with Kreay waking up, slipping on her bunny slippers and heading to the kitchen, where there's a huge breakfast party with all her [...]

Last night, Garbage popped up on Jimmy Fallon. Look, NBC are sharing it with us: [Buy: Not Your Kind Of People ] -- Visit No Rock & Roll Fun to comment, complain and kvetch

We women are constantly reminding each other that we support one another. We welcome and share each other's ideas. We compliment each other on our clothing choices and haircuts. We boast about each other's cooking skills. We raise a glass to each other's promotions, raises, and career accomplishments. We tell each other that we all have a choice to be a single working woman, a working mom, a stay-at-home mom. We see other women's successes as our own, and as a celebration of woman-kind. Or, do we? I tend to think of myself as both a 'girl's girl' [...]

In early April J-Fur and I made our way to Asheville, North Carolina to enjoy some mountain music and hippie food. Here is some of the best from that experience: Dessert has to come first. Namely the sweets and drinking chocolate available at French Broad Chocolate Lounge . I don't even like chocolate and I liked the [...]

Looks like a video that was a blast to make from start to finish, goes along nicely with the tone that the sample sets. Chiddy Bang's debut album Breakfast has sold over 49K as of March 2012.

Between their penchant for employing choruses of (what sounds like) little kids in their hooks and the dopey sound of front man Chidera "Chiddy" Anamege's voice, Philly duo Chiddy Bang [...]

Fresh from an appearance on Conan O'Brien: -- Visit No Rock & Roll Fun to comment, complain and kvetch

It's Coachella time. After dropping three Benjis for the passes and $7 per beer for three days, you only have $3 left for dinner. You're still 25 miles away from Venice, and you're starving. What to do? Banh Mi Che Cali it. Pho ga (which is both filling and rehydrating) is currently 50% off. At $3 (was $6), no one's going to mind the quarters you're leaving for tip. This is currently the cheapest bowl of edible Vietnamese noodles (or any noodles, period) in Los Angeles, and it could be far worse. BMCC will bring out a very spartan looking [...]

One of the best feelings as blogger is when you find artists that "nobody" is following. This remix from the Russian duo klar&pf for Mangaka's "After Breakfast We Go To The Mercury" is one of the best tracks I'm blogging today. If you're fan of cosmic, chill and smooth beats. You will fall in love [...]

Before I met Matt, coffee was just coffee. I could certainly distinguish bad coffee (what my parents call 'from the barrel') from very good coffee, but I never really made the effort to seek it out. When I remembered to drink coffee — usually sometime mid-afternoon — it would be with plenty of sugar and often milk, so the coffee itself hardly mattered. More than anything, I've always loved the smell of coffee — be it instant Folgers, gourmet Four Barrel , or an Italian cappuccino. In the mornings, Matt gets up with me to make coffee. [...]

Breakfast is the hardest meal to do right. A few wrong turns and you end up on a fatty trip to Sweetsville where heart attacks hide down every alley way. A successful breakfast provider is one that is able to create a special meal in a way that the consumer enjoys it but doesn't feel deathly afterwards. Of course, they also have to be able to offer the fatty and sugary stuff for those who want it. Not too healthy but not a Wafflehouse impersonator either. This is not easy to do. Pinky's Diner is [...]

My idea of grilling is standing in front of two third graders trying to get to the bottom of who really did cut the Lego guys head off with scissors. Or who smeared the...nevermind. But there is something about grilled foods that attracts me and I am constantly trying them out to varied successes. Today's breakfast, inspired by the grilled peach ice cream that the Chubby Vegetarian posted last week , was a pile of vegan grilled peach pancakes that turned out really well. The charring of the peaches created an intensified fruit, one where the sweetness [...]

Nakagin aka Hugh Luscombe of Sydney has been making understated instrumental hip hop beats. Minimal yet still projecting a very distinct and rich flavour. "Woods + Rest" is a super chilled, psychedelic beat fantasy. "Whisky" (Rhodes test) is a cute and quirky lullaby, while his remix of "Breakfast" by Simo Soo feat. Big Dumb Kid dives deep into a shimmering percussive puddle of... xylophone? > NAKAGIN [FB] > DOWNLOAD | Nakagin - Woods + Rest > DOWNLOAD | Nakagin - Whiskey [...]

I'm one of the best gift givers I know. It wasn't always this way. When I was 17 I gave J-Fur a necklace with this beautiful sapphire on (her favorite gem). The only problem was that it was connected to a gold chain (a color that she refuses to wear). She tried to like it, even had herself convinced for a few minutes, but in the end she asked me to return it. I vowed that never again would I give a sub par gift. In order to do this I had to slightly shift my approach. I would no [...]

Yesterday, in Leicester, The Tender Trap covered X Ray Spex: -- Visit No Rock & Roll Fun to comment, complain and kvetch

The sleepy sun peeps through a roof of dappled cherry-blossoms, bright-eyed squirrels play peek-a-boo in forests of bare ankles, the crisp wind of promise dances across a sky of deepest blue, and in three weeks time someone will be vomiting up a noxious combination of deep-fried Oreos and jungle juice in a shady corner of the Quad. Yes, spring is here, and so is Chiddy Bang's first studio album: Breakfast . [[MORE]] Originally set for release in late-summer of last year, Breakfast 's debut was pushed back not once, [...]

Breath was baited at this, apparently, but not mine. Not bated. Hardly breath at all. I mostly dislike collaborations, even when I try to like them, even when I love the collaborators. Collaborations regress towards the mean, like motionless wrestling or mutual strangulations in the back of army trucks (a personal joke, one intended only for my future self to smirk about; sorry). I blame everyone : 1) Mike Paradinas and Richard James [...]

While there are some vegetables I'm not that fond of, I can be persuaded to like anything when it is buy one get one hundred free. That's what sweet potatoes were last week. Typically the sweet potato is too sweet for my taste (go figure) but their local calling and cheap price enticed me so I bought a few. I scooted around the internet for a while before I came across this recipe for Sweet Potato Grits from Deep South Magazine . I had some stone ground grits I was in the process of getting rid of so this [...]

Chiddy Bang, the witty, hip-hop duo of Chidera Anamege and Xaphoon Jones, have finally released their much anticipated full length, debut album, Breakfast . Chiddy Bang generated their original fame through a variety of mixtapes released to the online, underground hip-hop scene. The release of their "Swelly Express" mixtape in Oct. 2009, got Chiddy Bang a substantial online reputation. What really did the trick however, was "Opposite of Adults," the band's clever spin on MGMT's track "Kids." "Opposite of Adults" was eventually released as a single in 2010 and got the alternative, hip-hop crowd buzzing like crazy. [...]
