Tokyo Police Club - In A Cave

Mood making music- get you pumped, happy, angry, energetic- who knew skinny white guys could do all that?

Jenkem, A Example of American Ingenuity, Spirit




Kids of America,

You have an uphill climb ahead of you. You will have to cope with a crumbling economy, foreign war, global warming, domestic disparities and an energy/water crisis as you grow into your own. A lot of people say that we're screwed, that we've ruined our world for the coming generations. But where they see despair, I see a resilience, an uncanny ability to adapt and overcome even the greatest of obstacles. It has always been a part of this countries intrinsic fiber. And there is no better example of our continued optimistic fight than you, children of the nation. When you were unable to buy weed because wildfires destoryed all of the potent crops, you found a solution in over the counter cough rememdies. When Uncle Sam got wise to your robo-tripping, you found a way to get high from snorting your ADD medication. And now they are trying to take that god given (or doctor prescribed) right away.

We now stand at the crossroads of history, at a crucial crux between federal oppression and our right to get high. And once again it is you, the golden Cherubs of this fine nation, that have found our next answer. Who would have thought of shitting in a bottle, letting it bake in the sun and then huffing the poo gases, causing hallucinations that involve talking to dead people? Certainly not anyone over the age of 30. No, this revolution is yours to hold, children. It was you who saw an opportunity and you who ran with it. You crouched over that Poland Spring bottle, let it rip, put a party balloon over the opening and hid it behind the shed for a day. You found the wiggly straw, uncorked your concoction and took "a hit from the poop pipe [citation needed]". You had shit on your breath for the week. You endured the crushing effects of coming off crap fumes. You permanently branded yourself- publicly or privately- as a fecal huffer. You made us believe again.

So to you, brave soldiers of the days to come, I commend and thank you. When this nation is in it's bleakest hour, I will keep the faith. I will remember that there are those among us, growing bigger, stronger and smarter everyday that will intentionally breathe in fermented dung. And not for them, but for us all. For the future.

Ini Kamoze - Here Comes The Hotstepper

Official Birthday Song of 2008.

Birthday Thought

Birthdays are all about getting older, celebrating another year down.

So why do they make you so nostalgic?

Pork and Beans

Finally, someone is doing what they should be doing- compiling every internet meme video and creating a rocking rock video that rocks. Flabbergastin.

Delightful Ghosts

I have been blessed recently by the brush of many of my nearest and dearest friends taking the time out of their exciting lives to come visit me in my new home of San Francisco. Enjoying laughs and relishing in memories- both old and budding- I am reminded of a life that I once had. And in the reminder, I remember that I can still have that life with these people, that memories aren't finite, that we can continue to create moments.

It's easy to get caught in the motions of a routine that doesn't do you well. To sleep late, to work mundanely, to return to your empty bed, to say nothing, to think not a thing. This is where I was beginning to find myself more than I'd like to admit. But with the simple presence of the people that I love the most has reignited me. Again I crave creation, idolize idealism, and wonder.

To those who are responsible for my rising from the ashes, I thank you. It is a unique situation to know such amazing people and be able to bathe in their sunlight. I love you all.

José González - 'Killing For Love'

José González - Down The Line

Odd video for sure- Love the song, not sure how I feel about this production, though. Just looking at other jose videos it seems that this piggish figure is a running character throughout a number of pieces, so I'll post a few

Mia Doi Todd - My Room is White

Original song pre-remix by Flying Lotus. Hearing this song straight out really makes you wonder, "how the fuck did he decide to remix THIS? Is he a fan of minimalist female vocal tracks? Did his mom give him this cd for christmas? was he walking down the street while they were filming?" Who knows...

My Room Is White (Flying Lotus Remix)

He's been around for a while, but I'm just now discovering Flying Lotus. This remix is sick and chill and glitchy and wonderful- so much so that I'll be catching him (along with the Glitch Mob) at Mighty in SF next Friday.
