i know it's been a long time since i've blogged.
i know, i know.
i'm sorry kiddies!
instead of supplying you with excuses, i'm just gonna hop right on in.
let's goooooooo!!


nouveau riche- take me home
haven't heard this in months! probably a year man, and i dig it so much. you can't help but move to this shit. gotta love those drums...khari ferrari is the man.



pharcype- somethin that means somethin
of course produced by dilla. remember when delicious vinyl was around? well this song is definitely in my rotation. i wanna hear somebody else rhyme on this now. like maybe doom or buckshot.


marvin gaye- it's madness
i couldn't find it (easily) on the internet for you to listen to on here but whatevs. i love this song. he pleads, and moans, and harmonizes. and guess who sampled it?

group home- supa dupa star
nuff said. classic.

the sea and cake.

they're amazing live to say the least. i stood front row when they came a while back, starry-eyed @ sam prekop...


"middlenight"
the groove at the end (2:08) is so funky and mellow.

atlas sound.

this song covers my "songs of the day" cuz i dig it so much.

"quarantined"

sandra backlund: structure these.

upon looking at her collection, i immediately imagined i lived in a world where i could strut down the street, hand in hand with a bloke named sid, in her clothes smoking a fag.

the structured knit pieces she creates speak volumes and lord knows i want some of her fashion lovin!!!
the fascinating part is that everything is COMPLETELY HANDMADE!!!
she's ill.
