The UK disco-duo known, the Shapeshifters, are such an amazing musical conglomerate. Known in the U.S. as Shape:UK due to a conflict with a band of similar nomenclature in Los Angeles, the band continues to make its mark all over the world. Their most popular song, “Lola’s Theme”, was released in Summer 2004. It is an amazing song about change, growth, the beauty of relationships and the ability to recognize that life is to be lived beautifully!

Their other song “Back to Basics” revisits the feel good music of 70’s disco. It is an amazing track with nostalgic qualities. Last but not least is “Sensitivity” with Chic. I love! What is up with prominent UK producers that specialize in ridiculously amazing beats finding strong black female vocalists to bring their beats to life?! Whatever it is – the formula is working.

Basement Jaxx is another band that applies the very same formula! “Oh my Gosh”, “Where’s your head at”, “Hey You”, and especially “Breakaway” are my all time favorites. The British are coming! And, I love it!

I love Gym Class Heroes and their music. “Cupid’s Chokehold” as a song was such a breath of fresh air and the music video was just so light, romantic and feel-good. I see them going far in the future!

In honor of one of B. Scott’s favorite design houses, Costume National, here is a clip of the 2007-2008 Mens Fall & Winter collection. The clothes are ridiculously fierce. The sweaters are supremely designed and the materials used are nothing short of the highest quality. Check out these looks and revamp your wardrobe accordingly!

I almost didn’t recognize Toni Braxton who obviously went to the same plastic surgeon as Vivica A. Fox and bought herself a new face! Toni, whose son Diezel has autism, headlined the Concert for Autism Speaks Benefiting Autism Research last night. Her good deed of the day does not take away the fact that Toni has destroyed her natural beauty. Why Toni? Why face reconstruction?

In celebration of the month of April and all its festiveness, here is a throwback episode of the 1980’s classic cartoon – The Smurfs. This episode is entitled “April Smurf’s Day.” Clearly, whoever invented this cartoon was on PCP or some type of hallucinogenic drug. It was definitely one trippy cartoon! But we love!
