Mini-Mix: Music from the Cote D'Ivoire


Nope, not Ireland. It's the Ivory Coast.

QATFYG:
Can you believe there has been political unrest in the Ivory Coast for years, and it is only now that I dedicate a mini mix to them?

Things may be rough in the Cote D’Ivoire, but this gave me the chance to learn what this country has on it’s gigantic place mat........ because if the Cote D’Ivoire was a place mat using the actual square kilometers of the Cote D’Ivoire, it would be very large.

Even if you only took the Coast of the Ivory Coast and turned it into a place mat, it would be very large.


This is a piece of Christian music from the Cote D’Ivoire, and although, I knew so little of the Ivorian styles, this was nothing like how I expected it. It also almost a touch of a real occidental sound, but there is a unique quality that is just hard to place.




I wish I liked this video more,
But it gets rather flamboyant and not in an arousing way at all. There are too many shots in the video of men wearing Golden-Lettered T-Shirts that read SEX!
Dot dot dot, not to mention all the almost bootylicious gyrations. If you want to have gyrations, gyrate like Alicia Sacramone on floor routine.



Lastly, this is a live performance of some Ivorian styles abroad. It is a long bow-string instrument called the Dodo or Mougongo in the nation of Gabon. I was very excited to watch this video because it was something like I had never heard before. The music begins a little too slowly for me, but once the player gets into it, the exotic appeal is rather amazing.
As for the name, the Dodo, I am just quoting the guy on Youtube. Don’t shoot me if that is not true, and even if you think about shooting me, it’s still a sin!

Look! It's a magic Ivory Coast Ball!

Give JR a Break

Recently, I've been reading some sites that have criticized James Roday, the lead actor on the USA show PSYCH for an apparent weight gain. But you know what? Who gives a flying fizzle stick if James Roday is slightly larger than he was 4 years ago. Apparently, it wasn't enough to scare away his current girlfriend/ co-star Maggie Lawson. (Who is one hell of a Catch!) And NO they are not engaged. That seems to be nothing more than a rumor, but there is a very high chance of it happening in the near future. Anyway, as long as PSYCH continues to entertain I don't mind about James Roday's waist. He, and Dule Hill, and Corbin Bernson too, can eat all the fried broccoli they want. The last episode of PSYCH wasn't so smashing, but I don't blame it on dietary issues. QATFYG: Are you keeping up with Psych? And who is hotter, James Roday or Maggie Lawson? (Trick Question but idk why) PS: If you have heard any more news on Roday and Lawson becoming Roday-Lawson, send it...

No Time to Fuck: The Goldfrapp Essay

Konnichiwa! This is Irina Cummings and I'm here to discuss one of the most brilliant, innovative, and creative artists in the entire history of mankind: Goldfrapp – or as I like to call them , GODfrapp – the fantastique, highly inspirational, and sometimes criminally overlooked electronic music duo from London consisting of Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory, whose godly music has certainly influenced the vast majority of today's synthpop ladies, including Lady Gaga, Little Boots, La Roux, Annie and Florence + the Machine (not electro but still worth your while). They're primarily known for their mind-blowing music (which have spanned pretty much every style of electronic music – and some non-electronic as well), their abstract, sexually ambiguous – at times forthright – lyrics which are often not gender- specific , and their elaborate shows, not to mention the amazing visual aesthetics of their work, conjuring images that masterly complement ...

An Open Letter to the Actress: Milena Govich

Dear Milena Govich, Hey, how are you? What is up? Well, I assume you might get 5-7 fan letters a week, but I hope the glitter on my envelope stood out to you. In all seriousness, I have not been the most loyal fan of your filmography, but in the opening credits of the 2006 show, “Conviction,” I got to see you in your underwear. Ever since then, I have been one of your most active online stalkers (not a crime in all states I think). In the next letter, I promise to include an underwear photo for you, so we'll be even. Milena, I remember even back to the days when you worked on one of those other 200 Dick Wolf projects you did...what was the name of that show? “Law and Order.” Yes, that was it. You made history as playing the first female lead detective on the “Law and Order” original franchise for your role as Detective Cassidy. However, I will have to note your performance was strongly tainted when Chevy Chase guest-starred and gave you the nickname, “Detective Sugar-Tits.” At leas...
