I was at Victory Park this afternoon and the HD jumbotron actually says 80% if I recall. Honestly I've only window shopped there because the prices were unbelievable, but quality and the brands are impecable. But with an 80% discount... I may be able to make something of that.
Jem and the Holograms (R.I.P. 1985-1988) were once my LIFE. The show was the perfect fusion of what I considered myself to be at age 4, sweet, colorful, musical and TOTALLY OUTRAGEOUS (which is the motto of the show)!
The synopsis... Jerrica Benton and her alter ego "Jem" owns a music production company with the help of her holographic computer synthesizer named Synergy. Jem and her girls are a band called The Holograms consisted of a keyboardist, guitarist and drummer who deal with beef thrown their way by "The Misfits". Together Jem and the Holograms perform with the goal of making it big and keeping their non profit foundation for foster girls and Starlight Music Studio running. Throughout the show the crew breaks into songs that are formulated as music videos MTV style. How cool is that? The music isn't too bad either. Check out some of the videos...
That "I Know, I Know" post says it all. But like great love and friendship, you can pick up right where you left off no matter how long it may have been. So here we go!
In honor of Universal Mind Control dropping next Tuesday I thought I'd share the Common Remixes by Beatnick and KSalaam. And when the album drops... please support Common and BUY the album.
