i took a break from work recently, and to fill the time i’ve been: hangin out, shopping, watching police story 1 2 and 3 all over again (i do this once or twice a year), watching tmnt 2 numerous times, and playing wow. what i’ve been listening to lately, in no order:

cassie - thirsty
jaheim - heaven in your eyes
inner city - big fun !!!!
lloyd - girls around the world (got a mash of this on my myspace!)
n.e.r.d. - you know what
bun b - pop it 4 pimp
common - universal mind control (of course.. it’s currently the ringtone)
slum village - tainted
amerie - i just died
busta - don’t touch me

i loves youtubes for havin music. honorable mention goes to a milli, everyone nose, the nomak cd, paris tokyo. and damaged.

it’s stuck in my head.

+ updated the muxtape. instrumental love. plus the common track is bananas
+ i’ve been eyein this lens lately. i think i’m gonna have to get it soon. all i have right now is a 50 f1.8 and this relic of a lens. it would be a good replacement. and on the topic of photo stuff, when did point and shoots get so cheap? i don’t really want or need one but man, why not?
+ an interesting history of the roach clip break
+ this dude loves his legos. really sick photos too.

so, the come up that night was really fun. was the first time meeting these dudes to dj with but they’re all great dudes(and dudette). we had a practice sesh that afternoon and we were all doing some amazingness, really good tunes that we were all throwin around. can’t wait to get down again. also can’t wait to buy my own gear, as it now appears that i finally -have- to buy turntables/mixer/et al. (yeah, i never had it before - fake it till you make it!)

some pics on my flickr. maybe more later. we’ll be doing it again the end of june, so mark your calendars.

as i was drag and droppin stuff from my music harddrive, i started to hear some dreaded clicking.. it wasn’t loud clicking, but i still got HELLA scared. hd failure has never actually happened to me but i dread the notion of nine years, 250 gigs, hours upon hours of collecting, to get thrown out. so i bought a terabyte(!) external and jumped ship immediately. i can’t imagine filling this hd up - i try to listen to everything i have, and i already have a hard time with 250 - another 700+ gb won’t help the situation. unless i start collecting FLAC. (nerds)

oh yeah, and LAKERS

man, i hate coming late from work. i take the bus so that means when i step out the office it’s gonna be 45 and up to get home, and i definitely stepped out the office at 9pm. ugh. plus i narrowly missed the 9p subway, so i had to wait another 15. yes, im whining. whateva though, steady grindin.

this saturday i will be djing (!!) my first gig (flier action) in pasadena. its at a place called the terrace and i’ma be there doin the damn thang. 21+, no cover. so holler at a player for sure, cousin.

+ at work, i leave one of these playing in the background. commentary is hilarious and i love 3rd strike. (although i suck at it)
+ i made an /old directory with blends i did a long time ago. back when cool edit 96 was the hot shit. i found them on an old hard drive and it was like unearthing a time capsule.
+ i’ve been staring at this girl for hours. and i need a purple shirt.
+ if youre on facebook, be a fan. you know you want to.
+ GO LAKERS.

i’m all over this track. and late, too.

THIS GIRL CAN SING.

so while i’ve been sick (i’m okay now sorta, i still got a cough) i’ve been spending lots of time playing wow and watching the wire. while i won’t go into detail about the first part because it’s too nerdy, i will go in detail about the wire because it’s amazing. i watched seasons 1 and 2 earlier this year and was definitely hooked. season 3 was off and on during the semester, and i marathoned 4 and 5 last week. there’s already enough praise written about the wire elsewhere so i’ll save my gushing. i’m just saying that i feel guilty for sleeping on it before when it was recommended to me earlier. things i remember per season:

season one - got real sad when kima was shot
season two - wanna punch that dude ziggy in the face
season three - the chick avon sends to marlo is hot
season four - ms duquette is hot
season five - the lying reporter dude is a shitbag and i wanna punch him in the face

so yeah. i sat down for many hours to watch all those. but now i’m working in the day, so i got less time to watch things - namely, the last two lost episodes. gotta catch up soon. also at work since i don’t bring all my mp3s, i’ve been browsing muxtape a lot.. there are too many wack emo muxtapes. its like every twelve i click i will land on something decent. however debbiewayne.muxtape.com has been a favorite this week, loadin it urrday. that harleme love theme is so noir. also good stuff at musikmondaze, vocab, tofubeats (he’s a cool dude)

in an effort to make this site more user friendly, i’ve added a digg-like voting click thing apparatus to all the entries that i have categorized for remixes. if you’ve got time, just run through the archive and start clicking the ones you think are exceptionally hot. and don’t click all of them, because i know for sure there are some of these that aren’t the hottest. (can’t all be winners!) hopefully i’ll find some way to organize the entries by most voted, or atleast show the top rated ones. this should alleviate the god-awful ‘the remixes’ page on the left bar, because it is quite the ugly looking currently.

another thing: as i was looking through my friends itouch, i realized i have no albumart. i’m not much of an itunes user so i never looked into it, but damn - it makes it look way cooler. i’ll get on that soon enough. (oof, making albumart for each remix + mix? thatll take a while)
