R&B/Soul: DJ Rahdu – “Follow Me: D’angelo Flips, Remixes And Tributes” (Mixtape)
October 28, 2013
BamaLoveSoul and DJ Rahdu doing the love… keeping the flame of hope alive with this “Follow Me” flip mix while we wait on the next D’Angelo work of art. Now, this is just the 11-minute sampler. They have a full mix on the way. They cannot “can’t imagine him releasing a bomb” – which is a sentiment many share. This is how you hold your fav artist down while they are out of the spotlight.
“Enjoy Follow Me, our tribute to the fans that have been inspired by and hopefully inspire D’angelo and encourage him to release the next album we’ll be enjoying even 18 years later.”

David George aka ‘The Bug Chef’: The Eat-A-Bug Cookbook (Video)
October 25, 2013
David George Gordon – known the world over as the ‘Bug Chef’ came to Seattle (Washington, USA) to promote “The Eat-A-Bug Cookbook” and to cook up some delicious creepy-crawlers… spiders. scorpions, you know… delicacies.
WHAT??? I know… Blech!!
Nah, for real. The cookbook features “33 ways to cook grasshoppers, ants, water bugs, spiders, centipedes, and their kin.” And as you will see in the clip above, he makes little attempt to ‘mask the natural bug flavor’ of his dishes. A dash of spice, a quick steam over lemon juice, and viola! Grub… yeah, he probably has a grub worm recipe or three, too.
“Of all the different dishes I make, I think the tarantula is actually the tastiest.”
