TV on the Radio in my Movie.


So most know that I'm a big TV on the Radio (TVotR) fan. Well like 2 months ago Corey and I watched this movie called Jump Tomorrow. It was a cute indie movie that was pretty funny. Well the lead guy in it resembled the lead singer from TVotR. Corey was like, that's that guy from that band you like so much. Me being the eternal know-it-all, vehemently denied it. I thought, yeah he looks like him but there's no way this actor is the same guy. So I denied it. Joked with Corey that "not all black people look alike". (You've seen my husband right?)

Well cut to today. Watching Rachel getting Married which was okay, but the same guy from Jump Tomorrow was in this movie. His name is Tunde Adebimpe. So at the end of the movie, Tunde's character sings at the wedding. During the song I didn't say anything, but thought "crap, it is that guy!" So after the movie ended, I grabbed my phone and went directly to IMDB.

And yea, under the trivia it listed 2 things:

Graduate of NYU's film school.

Member of New York-based band TV on the Radio.


So, I was wrong. Corey was right.

dead and wasted

Are blogs dead?

I know mine is. With facebook, twitter, and countless other communication devices how can one keep up? I think I'm a detriment to my own public. I like to think that there are some mysteries still available and I plan to explore them.

So yea, I'm trying to get back into my blogs. I really let my lj die. May it rest in peace.
