| Lo Fun Fact #1 |
| "Lolita Files" is my real name. It is not a pen name, as incredible as that may seem. There are plenty of Files family members and people who have known me for years capable of validating this. As for the "Lolita" part, my mother named me after the movie based on Nabokov's book, although she saw or read neither. For as long as she lived, she had no idea there was anything sexual or seedy about being called "Lolita". |
| Lo Fun Fact #2 |
| I love fried chicken and fabulous shoes (although obviously I can't eat fried chicken nearly as much as I'd like). If you ever want to get on my good side, send Popeye's or Church's (that's right, I said Church's) and a pair of
Christian Louboutins. |
| Lo Fun Fact #3 |
| Never show up unannounced or without a Pepsi. Better yet, how about not showing up at all? |
| Lo Fun Fact #4 |
| I hate the telephone. Don't get mad if I don't call you or take a long time to return your calls. I don't call anyone. Don't call me asking why I don't call. Just don't call, okay? (Exception: I will happily take all calls related to business or to share fun/exciting/major news. I'm just not one for jawing on the phone just to be jawing.) |
| Lo Fun Fact #5 |
| I love the internet!!! I love communicating through the internet!!! You can e-mail me and odds are I'll e-mail you right back (if I'm not in the middle of a major project). Makes up for my hangup about the phone, doesn't it? See, I'm not so bad after all!!! |
| Lo Fun Fact #6 |
| I can't stand IMing. Please don't IM me. I'm always on my laptop and connected to the internet as I work and when IM's pop into my screen out of nowhere, they break my concentration and often startle the sh*t out of me in the process. So don't do it. You will get the cold shoulder. I don't like giving people the cold shoulder, so please don't put me in that position. |
| Lo Fun Fact #7 |
I have four five six wonderful, slap-happy dogs and a cat, all of whom I love to pieces. I had a bird (a Roller pigeon that I rescued in LA on New Year's Day in 2004) named B-Bird (what? that's a good name!) who passed away in February 2009, which broke my widdle heart in half. He loved me so, as I did him. If you meet me and ask me about my dogs and cat, we'll be instant friends, and if you ask about B-Bird, I'll probably hug you (unless you smell...wash first). If you meet me and ask me why the f*ck I have four five six dogs and a cat, see the above fun fact for how I will respond. |

Sodafuckwhat? It's been busy. I'll catch up eventually.*
In the meantime, here's some music for Friday and through the weekend. This is my shit (even though it's been out for a couple/three-four months now). I'm so glad this young lady's getting her due. She's hella-talented and is on her own thing. Enjoy!!!
*On the real, I miss y'all. I'll be back in the swing soon.

Good for Miss Solange. She has a pretty voice and this song is a nice groove.
-
I didn't know what she was doing on that toilet!! I thought she was taking a sh** until the end explained everything!!
-
I been jamming this over and over since you put this video up today. I should just head on over to itunes and get it. Thanks Lo. I prolly never would have checked her out if you didn't put this up.

I apparently live under a rock -- I had never heard this. Great tune but clearly somebody listened to Cotton-Eyed Joe by Nina Simone; it's the same story with a slightly different twist. But I'm probably one of three people under the age of 60 who may even know that son. Thanks for sharing.

Hey Juan, I know that song you're talking about. This one is different tho'. Solo's song is about a one night stand she has with a guy she really likes (T.O.N.Y. means 'The Other Night, Y?'). Now that homeboy done hit it, he's not calling or coming around anymore. I got the idea that maybe if she hadn't slept with him so fast, they could have fell in love the old-fashioned way ('I could have been in love by now if it wasn't for T.O.N.Y.', T.O.N.Y. being the one night stand that effed everything up). That's my take any way. It seems different than the Nina Simone song where the guy comes to town, effs over all the women, breaks their hearts and ruins them for any good men who might really want them and all the brokenhearted women end up leaving town out of embarassment because cotton-eyed joe came thru, used them and kept it moving.

Who knew this chick could sing like that? I'm lovin this song!
-
I haven't been up on Solange. I may need to check her out.
What was up with all the slangin' of the hair, though?
-
BronxBaby, I totally see what you're saying. I think my initial response was more to the lyrics and not the video. I kept wanting to make "his" name Tony even though it was clearly talking about the other night. Also, I guess the way she was dressed leaving his apartment sort of gave it away though.
But you have to admit, "Cotton-Eyed Joe" was a mess.
