iPad?! The Marvel iPad app looks great!

Posted by | Comic Books | No Comments

So, as an avid comic book reader for years… I almost feel compelled to pick up Apple’s new iPad. In addition to it’s other   functions, I’m very interested in the Marvel Reader that was developed for it. I love the idea of using an e-reader to keep up with my favorite titles. Now, if only DC came out with an app…

At any rate, I might wait until my buddy Jeff gets his before I get one. Some people have recommended buying the second generation hardware, so we’ll see. I own a Macbook Pro as well as an iPhone, so… it might be time.

Check out all the new Marvel titles available for the iPad after the jump.

Video: Skillz and Boogie – "Wave Yo Hands"

Posted by | Music, Music Videos, UGHH | No Comments

New music video from one of my good friends, Skillz (formerly Mad Skillz). I would actually say that Skillz, Lonnie B., and DanjaMowf (from Richmond, VA) are the reasons that I am working in the music industry today. I used to hang out at their radio show at the University of Richmond (WDCE) every Saturday while I was in high school. Anyways, Skillz has ghostwritten for several rap artists, tours with DJ Jazzy Jeff, and continues to release quality music. Check out the video. (Oh yeh, check the cameo from Lil Roc of the Supafriendz/Disorganized Union)

Here is some information about the video: For skillz’s latest video we wanted to create what we thought matched the feel of the song best which was a general party atmosphere and a huge element of hip hop; dance. Blending old school and new school dancing mixed with the energy of the performers brings the video home. Filmed at Posh in downtown Richmond.

Basic Vocab – "A Better Way"

Posted by | Music, UGHH | No Comments

I suppose I should start off with our own group, Basic Vocab (AVX Music Group). They are produced by super-producer Tony Galvin (whose credits include “Shut Up” by Trick Daddy, “Baddest Bitch” for Trina, “You Know Who” for T.I. feat. Travis Barker, “Show It To Me” by T.I. feat. Nelly, “Show You What It Is” for Young Jeezy, etc). Ironically, with such mainstream production credits, Tony is able to craft music reminiscent of 90’s era songs by J Dilla or Pete Rock. In essence, Basic Vocab brings back the sound from the “Golden Era” of hip hop. Their breakout single, “Come Get With It” was featured in the credits of HBO’s Entourage in Season 5 Episode 8. Their sophomore album, “A Better Way” is currently available on iTunes. Pick it up. In the meantime, check out their first official single from the album, “Just Dance”.
