If it weren't for the fact that I just let Dart borrow this, there would have been no way this album wouldn't be playing in my car. Luckily, it's on my itunes. =] I know a lot of people who read this blog probably don't listen to rap anymore, but Dom is worth a listen.

The Top 20 Cartoons From 1990-1999

I loved the 90's. Some people shit on the 90's but whatever. The 90's had some good things about em and one of those things were the many great Cartoons that flooded the tv during our younger years. At first this was going to be the top 10 Cartoons of the 90's but as I was compiling the list, I realized that 10 wasn't enough. There were sooo many dope cartoons. Some of my absolute favorites like Darkwing Duck, Gargoyles, Swat Cats, Tiny Tunes, and others didn't even make the list. I mostly went off of popularity as well as quality, so you may disagree with the placement of certain cartoons but hey I tried, and at the end of the day or night, Cartoons will forever be the shit =]

The Happiest Time In His Life

This is my favorite scene from Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind and one of the instrumentals that I did was like an ode to this scene(yes, that means I sampled the music you hear in the clip) entitled "The Happiest Time In His Life" =] something random for you...

If you haven't seen this movie....damn

Throwback Track: Testify-Rage Against the Machine

Off of one the best rock n roll albums EVER!!!! I was so blessed to see them live a couple years ago, and what was even better was the fact that I saw them with Danny, Caleb, and Jared. Sorry about giving you a bloody nose Jared =[

MGMT-Flash Delirium

"The New MGMT album sucks!" "The new MGMT album is amazing!"

I said over on Fahbook(facebook)that I don't want to download the album, but then I read that they actually leaked it or made it free download stream. I dunno, We(me) will see. I'm not taking anybody's word on popular artists no more.

MILES DAVIS X LOUIS ARMSTRONG BIOPICS

I literally screamed, jumped out of seat, and called Danny after reading this...

Thanks Death and Taxes

peace to Don Cheadle and Forrest Whitaker

What are the Old Soul Instrumentals???

Ok so, first and foremost, an instrumental is a piece of music without any vocals or clear vocals, meaning, all you're hearing is music. In every genre of music, there is a small section of instrumental music, whether it's rock, hip hop, mostly jazz, r&b, soul, funk, everything. The idea for the Old Soul Instrumentals project or beat tape or whatever you choose to dub it, came along in the second half of last year after two other projects w/ two different artists fell through. After being rather distraught, I figured I'd release another instrumental project and call it Stepping into Tomorrow after the song by Donald Byrd and because I felt like instead of being down, I wanted to take a step forward musically. I didn't want to at first because in 2008 I put out A Romantic Comedy, another instrumental project which everyone who listens to my music liked and loved I guess, but I'm sure I didn't get to reach as many people as I wanted and I didn't like that. The initial plan was to make 30 beats(which I actually did) and pick and choose which ones where the best and then let only very close friends hear it and send it to labels who put out instrumental artists. At this time I was starting to become, more than ever, highly influenced by all forms of jazz music, instrumental soul(stuff you hear in like Oceans 11)and psychedelic rock bands of the 60's and 70's. The music started coming out as like ode's to those genre's and I decided to call it the Old Soul. So this project is for my friends who are old souls(like 90%)it's something for you to listen to in your car, while you're cleaning your room or dorm room, something to show your parents, something to listen to while you do homework, eat ice cream, read my blog =] and whatever else. I am a super unknown musician but it's cool for the time being, and I want to thank those of you who still ask me about my music. If you liked A Romantic Comedy then you'll like this. However, it's very very different and also way better. The whole thing should be available for download(free) hopefully in late April or early May. Can't wait to put it out =]Thanks for reading. Sorry it's long...

She and Him Vol. 2 Review

C

Is it vol. 2 or vol. 1.5? that's what I kept asking myself the 3 or 4 times I listened to this album. For me, I always thought sequels for albums or films were supposed to have at least some differences compared to the first. As for She and Him vol. 2 I guess the only difference would be that it's less pop than the first, and there are hardly any catchy songs besides their version of the classic "I'm Over You" Song:Getting Along Without You Now. And if you're the type to pay attention to every little detail(me) the drums are less fierce on this album which makes it almost boring to listen to, but most of you probably wouldn't care about that lol. I would have to say this album has no stand outs,no surprises, I didn't jump out of my seat or text Jerry saying "fam, you hear that new She and Him?".So if you dug the first album, you may or may not like this album. It's really a toss up. As for me, I could have used a little bit more from them, I mean M. Ward is an amazing musician and Zooey can write some good songs but oh well. Would I tell you to buy this? Yes and No. Yes, because the art work is really nice to look at and No because it's really not worth it.

Me and Egypt

At one point while blogging, I realized that more people read or visited this blog than I thought. It's a part of the reason why I stopped ranting about it. But little did I know that over this past year up until now that I had a super tiny following over in Egypt thanks to my friend Sandra. When she told me that some of her close friends read the blog and enjoy it I was siked! I asked was it because I posted the article about Iraq voting and she said no hahaha. So this is a little shout out to those wonderful people in Egypt who read or visit. THANK YOU =]and thank you very much Sandra
