Come Alive War of the Roses – Janelle Monae
Janelle Monae, the same girl we paid money for, the same girl who’s music video we were supposed to be in, just released new music.
I’m glad she hasn’t changed up her style too much. She already had a lot to begin with.
You can download it here.
THE QUEUE
Janelle Monae and Jon Heder team up to sing for The Gap! (And so do Flo Rida & Trey Songz … and Selma Blair and Rainn Wilson … dude just visit the Gap site) [PICTURED] | [The Gap]
The new issue of W decides to be patriotic, but not with red, white, and blue. Shooting models next to giant, processed American food favorites is more like it. | [Fashionista]
A LESSON IN TOLERANCE, VIA HOMEMADE T-SHIRTS: Before Nov. 4, a young girl in Illinois decided to take on an ambitious (and possibly dangerous) project about political tolerance by parading around in a McCain shirt and an Obama shirt on two separate days. “One person told me to go die. It was a lot of dying. A lot of comments about how I should be killed,” Catherine said, of the tolerance in Oak Park. Guess which candidate got her the death threats? | [Chicago Tribune]
If anyone can profit off this terrible economy, it’s documentary filmmaker, Michael Moore. His next project? A documentary about money and the economy that “will contain an end-of-the-empire tone” [Reuters UK]
Lil’ Wayne is on the cover of MAD. [Sandra Rose]
Janelle Monae – Many Moons video
This is the music video that I was supposed to be in. It looks crazy futuristic and her moves just translate well on camera with some fast-paced editing.
And now I’m sad I missed out.

Have you ever seen that thing fall apart? I have, and I’ve seen it come back together again.
I try not to get hipster with Janelle Monae. Meaning, I try not to hate the fact that people are starting to discover her, after 2 years it seems.

I tried to implement my amateur film-making skills into this video (zoom!), but alas.
Raphael Saadiq and his glowing backup singer … she was caraaaazy. Love the wig.
Janelle Monae to Steel Closet: “Ya’ll look sharp.”
She’s amazing live. She’s as energetic as you’d think, super-inspirational, she’s got the Elvis drawl DOWN–or maybe that’s just ’cause she’s from Kansas. But she did call me darlin’, and she looked us up and down for 20 seconds and said we looked sharp. Yes, we’re gloating like little fangirls, but who wouldn’t show off a nice shiny compliment from the queen of cyber vintage herself?
We saw Jane Wednesday at Bimbo’s 365 in SF–the city’s favorite Italian 20’s nightclub. We were dressed like… we were from the 20’s. Kind of? More video and pictures may come soon if we feel like it.
Raphael Saadiq and Janelle Monae tonight at Bimbo’s 365
I heard “Dance Tonight” at the lounge last night, and the legs took a life of their own.
