It’s #MusicMonday on Twitter. So let’s talk music. If you still don’t know that you have to be in Brooklyn to see what’s hot in New York, then you need to go back as soon as possible, before the yuppies and bourgeoisie move in and turn it to a commercial and expensive neighborhood.

I stumbled over this new video from Kid Cudi ft. MGMT. This is the alternative video for the “Pursuit Of Happiness” that came off “Man on the Moon: The End of Day“.

When I was young, games like “Space Quest” and “Police Quest” were the bomb – on an amber colored monochrome screen that is. Yes, that’s how old yours truly is.
