Wondering what to do on this November night?


So if you're looking to change it up and do something downtown Ampersand is hosting a FREE fan appreciation night that promises to be quite a night. As for concerts, my personal choice would be Frank Ocean at House of Blues. Download his mixtape below, and you'll soon be glad you did as he utilizes a smooth R&B style and apt beats (including some pretty recognizable selections). As Datpiff would say: "Odd Future member Frank Ocean may at first sound like some crazy hybrid of Trey Songz and Kid Cudi, but those comparisons will stop once you get through the first few tracks of nostalgia, ultra. Here’s the thing: this is a really good R&B album…there I said it. Frank Ocean is a singer who croons about his feelings, writes love songs, and in the process makes some quality music. The excellent songwriting and psychedelic production, combined with Ocean’s ear for beats and powerful voice make for a cohesive, melodically sophisticated concept album mixtape. For all you Drake haters, you should probably hit the jump, download the free, self-released-on-tumblr album, and re-affirm your love for that R&B swag."
And if you get downtown and prefer something else, Frenchmen will never disappoint.
