When i say Niggy Ya say...



Nothing

Too bad i have everything to say about Saul Williams as Niggy Tardust in the "Tar spangled banner tour" .

April 9th NYC!

Im a little late but the saul williams show at the fillmore was insane. I was in a trance the whole time just watching this man and his energy. If people thought they were in for a mediocre show they were wrong. The crowd moshed to songs like show opener Break and stood there quietly listening to the calm smooth performance of No one ever does. Williams was everywhere he became the stage. Diving into the crowd about at least 4 or 5 times during his performances . He danced and even walked all the way to the back of the crowd as he sang some of his most powerful songs . He tried ending it with his cover of U2's Sunday bloody sunday but it was clear the crowd wanted more and it was obvious he was'nt going to disappoint us. It was a great show and its an experience that will be forever engraved in my thoughts.Dragons Of Zynth,Tamara-Kali opened up the show as welll and were amazing themselves. Def got the packed venue pumped and ready for williams. If you haven't checked out any of the shows so far of "the tar spangled banner" tour , I heavily suggest that you do try and catch one of the remaining stops.

Check 0ut these pics a source of mine took lol you know who you are. Thanks ...







Pics that i liked that i took from my phone lol my wackass picture taking phone

Mind Clutter

I feel the most alive when i am inside my own mind
Yet i loose control and can't tame the feelings inside
Im complicated but simple
Simple but complex
Average in many ways
Peculiar though in every way
I know who I am but question myself all the time
Constant war and my mind is the battlefied
I feel like a slave unhappy to be freed from the demons captivated deep inside me
My heart is a burning arrow striking through everyones soul
My eyes are proof of tommorrow no matter how far it goes
I bleed beauty
As i breathe in death
Confusion
Wonder
The "devi's" knocking
He's at my door
He stands there watching
I yell he shakes the floor
Hear my screams
Hear my cries
I am my own team no one else accepts my lies
My presence reads caution : I am what I am

Niggy Tardust

Saul Williams is going to be at The Fillmore , Irving Plaza in NY This wensday!!
Get your tickets.





"I've been waiting here for what now seems the better of an hour I've raised every crippled question from the dead and given power to the absence of my sanity The presence of a fear that lies in between forgotten dreams that pile up every year Up above the highest testaments, down below the wooden floorthere's a gutted room, pitch black at noon, beneath a hidden door Deep within, you'll find the attributes of every sunken manwho must bang his head against the dead each day he tries to stand And he's standing pressed against the very woman that he loves Kissing eyes and lips, embracing hips, surrendering to her touch And just at the very moment that he touches heart to heartshe pulls from his touch, 'cause it's too much to mend what's torn apart"



- Saul Williams


Skin of a drum one of my favorite songs from his latest album The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust. Def something you should check out .

Whether your a die hard kanye fan , mediocre fan or just a damn hater!! You have to respect his hustle. First of all The Glow in the dark tour U.S is taking off in two weeks. Kanye recently posted this in his blog.


" can’t take it anymore. I have 2 show you guys a model of the stage. This is not a regular show. I tell people, hey, this show is gonna be crazy and they say, “I bet it is!”, BUT THEY HAVE NO IDEA!
People expect me to come with innovative stuff… I’m sure a lot of people expect some neon, lower east side, post everybody dressing like the 80’s stuff or maybe the light up jacket from the Grammies, perhaps the robot girl and light spectacle they saw on Youtube from the European run. My friends….. NONE OF THE ABOVE!!!
AN ENTIRELY NEW DESIGNED SET!!! ROBOT DESIGNED BY ACCLAIMED ARTIST CHRISTIAN COLON, CREATURE’S BY THE LEGENDARY JIM HENSON’S CREATURE SHOP, LIGHTING BY MARTIN PHILLIPS AND JOHN McGUIRE RESPONSIBLE FOR LAST YEARS FESTIVAL ANNIHILATOR, DAFT PUNK’S PYRAMID, POSSIBLY THE GREATEST LIGHT SHOW OF ALL TIME!! THANKS 2 PAUL, THOMAS AND GUYMAN FOR THE HOOK UP. SIDEBAR, MY SET DOES NOT HAVE A PYRAMID IN IT OR ANYWAY FEEL LIKE A BITE OF DAFT’S SHOW. WE’VE GOT HOLOGRAMS SHOT BY HYPE WILLIAMS!!!
SAM SPIELGAL, MIKE DEAN, JEFF BAXTER AND I HAVE SPENT A MONTH AND A HALF RE-ORCHESTRATING EVERY TRACK 2 FOLLOW A NARRATIVE. WE’VE LEARNED TO SURVIVE OFF OF 1 HOUR OF SLEEP A DAY! "
........
Thats it the show is going to be crazy. Im curious to see what hes going to do.Not done moving on; according to kanyelive.com . Mr West is starting his own travel company! West Brands LLC .Talk about expanding. Smart too for those who aren't really into buisness or just may not know LLC stands for Limited liability company. Basically "members" as they call them have limited personal liability for the debts and actions of the company. It is now the most popular form of starting a company and probably the best choice for people who are just starting their own buisness.
