MVOTY: Territory - The Blaze

In my never-ending pursuit to find and consume new music and other forms of art, I'm constantly listening to tracks, live performances, and interviews, or reading similar content.  This week I stumbled upon an article where varying artists highlighted what were their favorite things they listened to in 2017.  For the most part, the responses were about as expected and then Barry Jenkins, the genius who directed 'Moonlight', described a music video he'd seen that took the cake for him:

If I had a top ten list, and I don’t because I’ve been too busy to see very much this year, The Blaze's, "Territory" would almost certainly be number one. Just gorgeous, powerful, soulful; everything a music video should be. It’s truly a work of art and I think the fact that musician and videomaker are one and the same is a large part of that. I don’t know that cinema can save the world but watching this AT LEAST a hundred times this year certainly saved a part of me — of my heart, my soul, my sanity. This video is by far my favorite thing of 2017.

Broken Shaker - 12/16/17

Want to give a major shoutout to all my friends and other cool people who came out to Broken Shaker last Saturday and vibed out to some jams for the night.  I played a wide range of songs, including hip-hop, R&B, soul, funk, and a few indie hybrids that don't really have a genre bucket but made people dance.  I always love the energy in that place and I enjoy the conversations that I have with random patrons that really know their music.  Looking forward to my next set there on Saturday, January 6th.  Tell your friends about me *Chris Tucker voice*
