Crazy World Video

This is how I feel sometimes when I wake up. I need one of those gocart pieces though, so much easier to get to class.

Moodymann

Moodymann - Freeki MF (zshare)

I’ve watched this five or six times today, it’s the first I heard about Moodymann but apparently he’s a Detroit living legend. I mean look at his live show, this is really great.

“You don’t even like this song.”

Thanks U-Tern,

Shackleton

November 13, 2008

I never know what to call this kind of music. The bass lines and spacey clicks always want me to think dubstep but there’s always, at least with Shackleton, this ambient rhythm or some kind of bizarre theme. This track, released from the El Din single, gives me a good example I suppose. The bassline sneaks in with this kind of haunting melody, coming out of some Middle Eastern register or theme. That makes, sense, considering Din refers to the Arabic for “way of life” and “religion”. I get into this: Headphones on, music loud, the bass and the reverberating slaps hits and bangs. It has a organic sort of breathing quality to it.

Geto Boys

Geto Boys - What? (click to download)

Every couple months (days) I open up iTunes and put on Josephine Foster or something and see my reflection in the screen and I’m like WHAT ARE YOU DOOOOING!!! And I go into this trance and listen to Geto Boys and Project Pat for a couple hours (8:30am to 11:30 for example) and feel better.

The song is from a different CD, but that cover is the best.

GLC

Well this is pretty good, I like the shot of him in the board room bobbing his head. Some gratuitous Kanye shots, though. Hopefully this is one of those songs you’ll listen to and look right for the mixtape, so here’s it is:

Enjoy,
