This is most probably what I will look like in 20 years, or last week. I believe that is a sweet wood sword, gza style. Also, peep my burberry picnic table… ballin! Only one thing is missing from this picture, 50 bread & butter points to whomever can tell me what it is. On the real, I’ll think of a prize.

I’m not at all familiar with “I’m Not A Band”, but they are familiar with my email, and once in a while I take a pause from texting Paris Hilton LOLCats and read a few. Is comparable to a Crystal castles & The Teenagers love child with some The Fitness thrown in… all around a better sound than what I’ve been hearing lately. MOre about them here.

released in 1981, it became one of the biggest hits of the super self conscious decade. A time of a new superhero called teh supermodel … super model photographer, oh  and also spawned some sweet sweet pseudo fashion. Personally, I split the 80’s right down the middle, 85 – 90 is basically no mans land, an abyss of horrish terror that (in my mind) peaked with Wilson Phillips. My knees get weak just typing those two words together.

This is the sexiest photo I could find. Cherry Cherry Pow Pow? haha

in 1997 the Daft Duo did the unfukwitable and dropped Homework, a concept that I simultaneously could relate to, and yet had no idea what it meant. It was also about that time the previously strictly outcast nerd haven of techno and midwest “rave” zeitgeist was reaching its spiritual crescendo of day glo party people, soon to be followed with a killer dance music K-hole (IMO). It was only a few years earlier that the Detroit/Chicago acid sound was all mighty king, reports of finding a 909/808/303 in a thrift shop for $20 was believable, and if it wasn’t on record or cassette, it probably didn’t exist. I recall the moment it all changed for me, I was at a party in a cow barn, the cows had just earlier that day been shuffled out the back door into the field (not an uncommon scenario in the mighty midwest), and it must have been a slow weekend becasue DJ Hyperactive had actually shown up to play… and he played at least two tracks from this album, could’ve been more. Looking back, that was the tipping point. After that, you couldn’t go to a party without hearing daft punk before, during and after. And no one was complaining. I think we were all to high to notice that (a.) the music had changed (b.) it wasn’t about the music anymore. Daft Punk made the classic album and dance music became a commodity in one breath. Something something something… Disco?

Lets see… JUICE, maybe one of the best flows that never got off, certainly contender for best freestle MC, just never got the larger commercial success that his talent promised; tis hard for Chicago MC’s to break the midwest barrier. Now doing the Juice And The Machine.

This was one of my staples to flip doubles of a few years back (2001 ish), something about that beat was so nice to chop up. SMP’s on the production.

I’m not into doing this one today, so I’m glad I was sorta working on it all week.

Second time this week I’m throwing up a koushik track, and thats because I did listen to this quite a bit this week. a good 2/3 of this song is just rolling mellow, and then… a nice break drops through. Buy Koushik’s shik from stones throw here.

Scott Hansen aka ISO50 aka Tycho aka I make cool shit all day long. This initially caught my eye b/c of the arts. And the music is damn fine as well. Believe me that I’ll be ordering the vinyls to hang on the wall. If someone wants to hook me up with a giclee print found here, that would be fantastic as well. Buy the complete package here. Ah, even the insert poster is hot.

Resident Advisor called this track minimal trance, which makes me kinda want to puke in resident advisors mouth. I mean, who do they think they are? ok, well, maybe they are 33% right… but I hate trance music. But I like minimal. So I guess I’ll let it slide. Willie Threlfall aka Williams aka buy the rest here.

Djnodj has been separating the men from the boys lately, and we’re not about to stop. Some of yall can’t hang. I get it. Like script kiddies; you don’t know what you don’t know. However, some of yall are actual music lovers, and appreciate more than remixes of remixes of dj kanyecudicrookers . I’m not hating on any of that, but comeon’, too much soul? Is that an oxymoron…? So here’s to you fellows and felinaes…

Some of yall have heard the Disco Monster, but how many of you have seen it? Touched it? Been bit by it? Are it? btw, don’t let P.tone get near your neck… just warning you.  13 inches of snow in the past 24 hours… and counting… poof in the powder, pop in the park.

Its been a while since I’ve dropped you all a mixtape. And thats partly because of bandwidth issues. I’m one of those decent blogs that self hosts, so you don’t have to click 12 times, kill popups, and wait 45 seconds to download a song… but that also means I have to watch my shit more closely. But since I went on a spiel last thursday and mentioned those Conmen tapes… I thought why not unearth one. So… thank you Jake One and Mr. Supreme for your diggin’s.
