ADELE LIVE – SOMEONE LIKE YOU – FOR CHRISTCHURCH CITY

Kindness can be likened to a deep well, often hidden within the humble lives and deep recesses of the hearts, contained within beautiful and resilient human beings.

As some of the kindest New Zealanders and Californian-Kiwis as well, I have ever met, are from Christchurch City…

This one is going out for my people in Christchurch today. Here’s the lovely Adele with a soulful live performance of her song, Someone Like You set simply to the backdrop of a piano’s rolling acoustic keyboards.

May you know hillocks of joy amidst your stoic endurance of spirit.

Much love. x.

ADELE IS A BIG FAN OF THE CIVIL WARS SONG “POISON AND WINE”

She may have the number 1 song in the USA right now, yet Adele shares her excitement with discovering other artists she loves. Adele writes, “Hello, I’m in Boston enjoying a glass of wine and looking at a woman trying to control her dogs opposite my hotel! getting back into the motion of touring after a 2 week break of parks, pubs and bbqs. thank you to everyone who came to the European and UK shows, meant a lot! I’m in the states for a while now, have had too much fun so far. LA, Washington and Philly ticked off but so many more to go. by the way i got the poster with all my song names listed in a beautiful letter from the show at the electric factory, thank you so much to you lot who made it. made me smile hard!! i thought i was going to be incredibly homesick as soon as i got here, but you’ve all made me feel so welcome so far, thank you :) and how incredible to arrive as rolling in the deep goes to number 1 on the hot 100!!!!!! nuts! anyway, i have the complete honour of having a band called The Civil Wars on the tour at the moment. they are by far the BEST live band i have EVER seen. they are magical and stunning, they make my heart hurt but make it a bit stronger at the same time too! perfect timing! please check them out, they re record is beautiful. and if your coming to any of the shows on this trip make sure you get there early to see them.

COFFEE COMMUNITIES FOR JAPAN’S PEOPLE VIA HOLLYWOOD, SEATTLE, WASHINGTON DC

Our deepest condolences go out to the people of Japan and their families around the world. During the past few days, we have all seen the heart-wrenching images and heard the reports of lives lost there, especially in the Sendai coastal region. Thousands of people have been evacuated near nuclear plants and millions are without adequate food or shelter.

We are committed to doing all we can to support relief efforts in Japan. The Starbucks Foundation and Starbucks Coffee Japan contributed ¥100 million ($1.2 million USD) to the Red Cross for relief efforts in Japan. Starting today, we are accepting donations to the Red Cross in our U.S. and Canada stores, and we are working toward doing the same in several other countries around the world. You may also wish to donate directly to the Red Cross Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami Fund online.

Please join me in keeping the people of Japan in your thoughts and wishing them strength and hope as they begin to recover and rebuild. I invite you to share those thoughts here.–Vivek V, EVP Public Affairs, Starbucks, Seattle USA.

The lovely Adele‘s new album 21 can be viewed and downloaded here.

CATCHING UP WITH MOOKIE B – 19 YEAR OLD HIP HOP TALENT OF HOLLYWOOD


“Welcome to Hollywood. Everyone has a dream. What’s your dream”–script Pretty Woman, the movie.

Everyone has a dream in Hollywood, including Mookie B, a hip hop star whose Hollywood based. At 19 he’s off to a good start sampling well know singing divas and seguing his rap into their mix.

I like parts of his song. Namely because Adele the UK artist and Mookie B are not a bad fusion of the honey vocal and hip hop riff. Chasing is NOT for chil’n, but it does have an L.A drive time vibe to it. Yes, you really do hear music like Mookie B’s in drive time L.A. Going full blast. It’s a part of hip hop culture here, in a town that furthered the Jackson families musical legacies and many hip hop artists too.

Really, Mookie needs his mouth washed out with soap though, like most hip hop stars music.

His lyrics are Eminem-like explicit. We all know that explicit lyrics sells more albums than any other male solo artists in the music game today – as Eminem has proven in the last decade from the US. People worldwide go for it. Hip hop fierce provides an idea of urban attitude that acts like armor, to survive the rigors of the hood. It’s the sound of battle. The best hip hop culture, assuages war through persuasion of hip hop talent, rhythm and rhetoric. It’s life or death.

Mookie B is full on pro, the mary-jane-juana herb I notice too in his Chasing song. And he’s tattooed up to the eyeballs. I want to suggest to Mookie B, that there’s plenty of other rhyming words, that are just as forceful as the MF one. Poetry classes with a dictionary help you discover these. Yet Mookie B is rolling his way and his styles. Kuros for creating an edgy sound.

To meet in person, Mookie is a young brotha to the days. And he earns a spot on the blog today. This is his casting couch time on Horiwood.Com.

“Believe in a dream Mookie, and no matter how you do it, impact your world for the good. Peace!” Here’s a big clue of what to do.

REMEMBERING AUNT ELVIRA – ADELE SINGS “ROLLING IN THE DEEP” FOR ITALIA TV

On the twelfth of every month, I honor dear Aunt Elvira – a beautiful woman – I had the honor of caring for in California while she had cancer, who sadly passed away on this day.

Because her life is a celebration of good and sweet things, here’s Adele singing her song, Rolling in The Deep, on Italia Television for “Aunt Elivs’” sweet memory today. Enjoy! It doesn’t really matter what the lovely Adele is singing, Aunt Elvis has a sister by the same name, hence this song choice. I just appreciate the timbre of this singer’s voice in conveying depth of soul. Life is always about family! Peace. :)
