In 1992, Maj’s love for music lead him to relocate to Nashville, Tennesse where he composed his self-released mix tape, Sabbatical Transit. As with DJ Maj's first national release on Gotee Records(Wax Museum, see review), his bistro artistically describes the skill of blending a recipe of individual tracks together by ad libbing cuts, other sound effects and beats to formulate a seamless, perpetual flow of music.

With only a few months to go before the release, Marvel is keeping most Captain Marveldetails close to the chest. The first trailer emphasized Carol Danvers’ murky history and Brie Larson’s physical performance. Instead of a villain reveal, we got Carol punching an old lady in the face. We still don’t really know if Jude Law is actually playing Mar-Vell, the original Captain Marvel. How the Starforce and Ronan the Accuser and Nick Fury really factor in to Carol’s contained saga remains unclear.
But thanks to a little Easter egg shrouded in shadow on Captain Marvel’s official one-sheet poster, we do know one new character who will make her first appearance in the MCU: Chewie. Here’s the full poster:

THINGS we found along the way
Obnoxious Report! Tyler Perry buys Mother Bettie Ann Pace a house. The mother of the Anointed Pace Sisters, a Gospel group from back in the day, Shun Pace. It was sometime last year Shun Pace went live on Facebook and revealed that she was broke and homeless living in a small storage room at her mother’s church. It is not certain, but we think Mother Pace was living in the church as well. Needless to say some how Tyler Perry found out about and did something very special for Shun. He got her a Mercedes Benz and a three bedroom place for Shun, her daughter, Mother Pace to stay. Doctors gave up on Mother Pace about a month ago, but she is still living and a number of people have stepped in to come to their aid. Tyler Perry along with a number of his staff and the Mayor of Atlanta’s mother was there this morning to cut the ribbon and welcome Mother Pace to her new house.
Shun Pace admitted she was broke due to bad marriages and poor health the Steller Award Winning Gospel Singer was in financial ruins. At one point Mother Pace was taking care of Shun and her Son Pastor Pace, who later died. The two of them had serious heart challenges and suffered from kidney failure. It is said that Shun just could not go and perform and was not making any money and lost everything. The artist that was known for her incredible vocal range that was put on the map by Edwin Hawkins and her song “I Know I Been Changed” has no recording contract and no longer pulling in the big dollars.
Watch Mother Bettie Ann Pace arrive at her new house for the first time:
Have a great week folks.
