03. Cant Quit You Now







08. For Your Love







10. Now I Got to Worry








First time I heard one of this chick's tracks was on DJ Language's mixtape, Real Music for Real People. That mixtape had a lot of sick tracks, but Natalie Gardiner's, Can't Quit You Now, was definitely towards the top of the list.

Posters from 1984 - 2004






















In keeping with the movie poster theme this week, I decided to highlight one of the legends.
Drew Struzan. This guy has too many credits to his name, so I chose my favorites.

Nightmare on Elm St
Movie Poster
1984



I watched Nightmare on Elm St in its entirety for the first time last night.
It was hilarious seeing how they did all the special effects back in 1984.
But the movie poster is super tight. Definitely in a movie poster phase.

Plus a classic poster.

Unreleased 1986



06. Feel U up







10. Shockadelica







11. If I Was Your Girlfriend








This is for my lady. Happy Birthday baby!!

Oh man the first time I heard Feel U Up... it made
me want to do some nasty stuff to my chick.
Prince just makes you want to do nasty stuff to
chicks in general.

Prince is a musical genius and I was surprised to
hear that he is still coming out with music. So
he might have to be one of the first artists who
will get featured on this blog more than once.
