Toothache Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

Oh man.   The past couple of days have been quite rough.  I have an infected tooth.  I need to get it extracted.  I’ve been in an excruciating amount of pain since thursday.  The infection has caused some hearing loss which I’ve been dealing with since then too. 😦  I am so not a happy camper.  Things are a little bit better today cuz I actually went to the dentist and he gave me some antibiotics and we made an appointment to say sayonara to the tooth when the infection is gone.  TMI?  Probably.  LOL.  I guarantee you no one cares that much about my teeth. 😉

Tunes:
James Blake – Limit To Your Love (Lynx Remix)
I’m definitely late on this James Blake bandwagon.  His voice is sexy.  This Lynx remix is on point.  I like it whenever Lynx does remixes that have this vibe.  It gives me that Distance Zero melancholy feel. ❤

Textbook Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

I’ve got a midterm coming up so I’ve been reading like crazy.  The bonus to that is that I’ve just had my headphones on listening to dnb nonstop and memorizing the textbook.  Loads of really good stuff out there.  It makes me excited to download new mixes.

Tunes:
LSB – Rolling Sideways
I heard this track last year and had no idea what it was.  I forgot about it.  It’s been propping up again and now you can get it on Beatport.  Already bought it.  Love it.  Nice rolling tune.  Big up LSB.

Stunna & Edward Oberon – Looking Back
This one snuck up on me out of nowhere.  I’ve been really behind on tunes and since Stunna is one of my buddies, you would have thought that I would know this one already…. my bad.  I was listening to a mix and I was like, ooh what is this?  and then saw it was Stunna and Ed Oberon.  Anyways, digging it to the max.  ❤

Today’s Oldie:
Sometimes it’s hard to come up with oldies cuz I want to make sure I don’t post the same ones over and over.  Fortunately there are so many old tracks that I’ve managed not to post the same one twice.  Today’s goodie come courtesy of Lamebrane.  He posted it on his facebook which gladly gave me the freedom to not have to rack my brain of which one to pick. 🙂
Renegade – Terrorist (Dom & Roland Remix) – Moving Shadow 2000

I promised my girl Holly I would give her event a shout.  All proceeds go to charity.  Looks like a wicked lineup.  If you’re in London def. go check it out.

KikiLeave a comment

I’m back.  LA was wicked.  The weather wasn’t the greatest but it was still ten thousand times better than the 30 degrees and snowing we’ve got here right now.  Boo.

George’s art show was amazing.  I was so happy for him.  He’s so talented.  It was also great to see Mollie.  I say it all the time, I have wonderful friends and I’m very grateful to have them in my life.

Stunna and Bachelors of Science killed it.  I’m really glad I got to go to the show.  Really good vibes.  Fun times.

LA LA & Kiki

Kiki2 Comments

These past couple of weeks have been a blur.  I’ve been studying non-stop and working like crazy.  I was in extra nerd mode because I was leaving for my trip and wanted to make sure that when I got back I wasn’t behind.  Sorry I’ve been neglecting you. 😦

I’m in LA right now.  Came to support my good friend George for his art opening and visit with one of my dearest and most treasured buddies Mollie.  They are both Minneapolis transplants and the best part is that some of my other Minneapolis besties came too, so it’s a fun group mini holiday.  I only wish the weather was a bit better.  It’s at least sunny though and that’s good.

I’m being very blogger like and  blogging from a trendy breakfast place with free wifi off of Sunset Blvd. 🙂

Tonight Stunna happens to also be here so I’m going to go see him and Bachelors of Science.  Woot.  If you are in LA you should totally come check it out.

I’ve caught up on so many mixes lately and there are some really wicked tracks floating around.  I know it was a while ago but dang that Seba NLDNB Podcast 2 is fire.  I love every track on there.  I also happen to love Seba so it’s a win/win situation.  I could go on and list all the mixes I’ve been listening to but I’ll spare you.  Just because I’m catching up on a month’s worth of mixes doesn’t mean you have to as well.

p.s.  I’d like to repost my usual disclaimer.  I know that some of these tracks I might talk about might be a bajillion years old but like I’ve said before, they are new to me.  I don’t claim to be an industry reviewer or what not.  I just talk about ish I like and if you like it too, cool. 🙂

Tunes:
Adam Tensta – Ok Wow (Seba Remix)
This is one of the tracks on that podcast that I was talking about.  This remix is so dope.  Luv it.

The Girl Who Avoided The Snow Storm

KikiLeave a comment

That was Lake Shore Drive.  Eek.

Sorry for the lack of posts last week.  The snow storm was quite strange.  All that snow was crazy!  I was ridiculously fortunate though.  The wind was so intense it was blowing into these huge drift piles.  I went to go brave the snow and dig my car out the next day and there wasn’t a drop of snow on my car.  LOL.  Seriously.  Spotless.  It had blown on to the other side of the street and the cars on the other side of the street were fucked.  Someone was on my side that day I guess.

I’ve been holed up at my place studying and working but I did make time to watch The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and was instantly hooked.  I watched  Stieg Larsson’s whole trilogy this weekend.  Noomi Rapace is fierce as Lisbeth Salander.  I hope the American version doesn’t suck.  Watch it if you have time.  Violent and a very graphic at times but still worth watching.  5 stars. 😉

I’ve been listening to a lot of Bassdrive at the gym these days.  I love that there is a radio station where I can just tune in and get my fix whenever I can’t find any mixes to download. ❤

Today’s Oldie:
Stakka & Skynet feat. Konflict – Bios-Fear – Underfire 2001
Sick tune!  Love this one.

Snowdump Kiki

Kiki3 Comments

We’re supposed to get a wicked snow storm dumping around 20 inches.  I guess it’s our turn finally.  This winter has been quite odd here in the Chi.  We’ve hardly had that much snow in comparison with other places and we haven’t really had many days in the teen temps.  I’m just excited that I’ll finally get to wear my grownz up snow boots that I paid good money for but have yet to wear.  I decided that last year would be the last time I would get my feet wet with cute impractical snow boots.  I got some serious waterproof action going so bring it on. 😉

Pencil Me In Kiki

Many people have told me that the key to grad school is really just time management.  I would have to agree.  I’m getting better at it.  When I do what I’m supposed to do in the allotted times I schedule myself for, it definitely makes my day a whole lot easier.

I know I posted this mix at the beginning of this month but if you haven’t listened to it you really should check it out.  I’ve been working out to it for the past couple of weeks.  Really good tracks and nice mix. Data – Jan 2011 Mix.
