I go back and forth, admittedly it’s not easy for me to walk away from this. I’ve put 7 years into this music blog and its precursor; a creative outlet that let me share music, words and images. And I love sharing music almost as much as I love the music itself. Whatever the intent may have been in the beginning, it became a sort of moving collage. And I never expected the recognition and appreciation from around the world. From the count of anonymous daily visitors to the recognizable musicians in the industry. Those that emailed their personal stories, those that said I inspired them to create their own music blogs, and those that thanked me for having a song they were looking for or just doing what I do… everyone, you all kept this project going. Thank You. But responsibilities grow and I have less time to commit to making this good. Posts are rushed now, time to hunt good new music is scarce, I’m less involved with the music scene and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. So rather than continue a slow decay, I’ll leave it be what it was. Still… there’s remains a desire to continue somehow, in some way, and I’ll admit to toying with that idea. And so whether it be djnodj or rather likely a whole new site, if I do begin again and you’d like to know, email me at (ptone@djnodj.com) and I’ll put you on a notice list. Please don’t email me music. I’m going to skip running down the 2013 songs. They’re still up, for a little bit.

Thanks to all. This is p.tone saying Over//End//Out

“Many people dedicate their lives to actualizing a concept of what they should be like, rather than actualizing themselves. This difference between self-actualization and self-image actualization is very important. Most people live only for their image.”

– Bruce Lee

A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone.  -Henry David Thoreau

“Before our white brothers arrived to make us civilized men, we didn’t have any kind of prison. Because of this, we had no delinquents. Without a prison, there can be no delinquents. We had no locks nor keys and therefore among us there were no thieves. When someone was so poor that he couldn’t afford a horse, a tent or a blanket, he would, in that case, receive it all as a gift. We were too uncivilized to give great importance to private property. We didn’t know any kind of money and consequently, the value of a human being was not determined by his wealth. We had no written laws laid down, no lawyers, no politicians, therefore we were not able to cheat and swindle one another. We were really in bad shape before the white men arrived and I don’t know how to explain how we were able to manage without these fundamental things that (so they tell us) are so necessary for a civilized society.” — John (Fire) Lame Deer, Sioux Lakota, 1903-1976.

09 hip hop was surprisingly strong for us. When you’re suffocating, it helps to blow back with what you can. Fuzzy began excavating the basement, and through the next year rebuilt the foundation while I rearranged the attic. In the meantime we dropped a lot of classics, new & old.

Transmission Truncate: I think we’ve carried this project fairly well to this end. Of course there is more music just as there is more paint to put on a canvas. But when a project is complete there’s no longer the desire to make it better. We’re going to call it at a full 6 years (not to mention the predecessor) and from here to then we will be reviewing our past favorites year by year. Our 2008 hip hop ear was a lot stronger as were our shows, bros, and drugs drinks.

“I’m called ‘the poorest president’, but I don’t feel poor. Poor people are those who only work to try to keep an expensive lifestyle, and always want more and more,” he says.

“This is a matter of freedom. If you don’t have many possessions then you don’t need to work all your life like a slave to sustain them, and therefore you have more time for yourself,” he says.
