I’ve mentioned before that I work six days a week.  I’m quitting my second job in September and to be honest I can’t wait.  It seems like I look so forward to the weekends as it is that anxiously awaiting my free day on Sundays just isn’t cutting it anymore.  Anyways it’s Friday.  Yay.  Thank god.

I’ve surprisingly been listening to a lot of non dnb the past couple of days.  I’ve been hearing really good tracks on 1xtra and I’ve got $50 in itunes gift cards leftover from my side hustle, so I just keep downloading track after track.  Some of my current faves?

Nas feat. Keri Hilson – Hero – I really like the beat.  I’m not much of a word smith.  I appreciate people who rhyme and what not but I definitely will pay more attention to what your saying if there’s a good beat behind it.  Nas is pretty dope too so it’s a win win.

Common feat. Pharrell – Universal Mind Control – Everyone’s hating on this track but I like it.   I never was really a huge Common fan, but I’ve started to love the stuff he’s put out within the last year.

The Clipse – 20k Money Making Brothers – I just love the Clipse point blank period.  Like I said before, I don’t really pay much attention to many rappers but these dudes are fucking awesome.  This song is older but I just decided to download it the other day cuz I felt like listening to it.  They have a new one out called Fast Life that is cool but I like this 20k better.

Paleface feat. Kyla – Do You Mind (Crazy Cousinz Remix) – The Paleface original is a bit too ravey for me but this Crazy Cousinz remix is so sultry. The beat is just sexy as hell and the vocal is too.

There’s more.  I just don’t feel like listing them all.  I want to go home cuz I’m bored and tired and it’s only 12:55.  Boo. 😦

I am excited to listen to this Patife mix though.

Kiki The Geriatric

They claim it’s going to be 90 degrees tomorrow. We’ll see. Usually, the thing I love about Chicago summers is that it’s so ridiculously hot that everyone is like yeah I’ll meet you there, yeah I’ll go to that, cuz it’s so fucking hot you can’t stand to be in your house. Well here we are in July and that still hasn’t happened yet. Lame.

I have become a full on senior citizen. I feel like all I do is talk about the weather, (see paragraph above and numerous entries before this one for examples) try and go to bed by 10, complain about younger kids playing ding dong ditch with my buzzer (there’s a school down the street), and reminisce about when I was younger. 🙂 Doesn’ t that mean I should get to ride public transportation for cheaper??

Been having a dance party, by myself of course, ever since I played that 2step/Garage set on July 4. I’ve been listening to Shanks & Bigfoot on repeat also. *sigh* The good old days… (old lady phrase alert!)

Lets switch it up and listen to some dubstep. Rinse FM is great for that. 🙂

Lazy Lima Bean

KikiLeave a comment

Remember that skit on In Living Colour where the  Jamaican family was alwaysWanda complaining about how their kids didn’t have enough jobs?  Then Damon Wayans would yell “You lazy lima bean!?”  Today, I’m definitely the lazy lima bean.  I have a ton of boring shit that needs to be done and I’m sure as hell not doing it. 😉  Here’s a gratuitous pic of Wanda just cuz she was one of my fave characters on that show… “You aint got to go nowhere!!  I got you!  I got you!”

My friend CC is going away for the next couple of months.  She has to go train people at the new location of her job out in Tahoe.  It would be kinda awesome to pick up from your life and just go do shit for a couple of months and get paid for it.

Heard a new Paul SG that I’m all about on Overfiend’s show today.  Hot bizness.  Paul SG & Flaco – Sacrifice.

I’m listening to Stunna’s show right now.  Heard a little gem from Skyform called Hanging.  Nice.

Sorry no samples for the Sacrifice, I just heard it today but Hanging is on Skyform’s page. 🙂

I really don’t have much to discuss.  I’m just feeling ultra slothy.  Maybe it’s the weather.

Yowza

Kiki2 Comments

Yowza is such a nerdy word. I love it though. It’s been pretty muggy and hot these past couple of days. Could summer really be sticking around intsead of retreating back to murky, cold, rainy, 65 degree days?? I hope so.

Loving this Saburuko – Stay. Hot stuff.

Also loving this Electrosoul System – After Hours.

We have so many cases up at my work lately. I’m finding that I don’t have the time to fuck around on the internet that I used to. Go figure… I actually have to do work!

Here’s a mix from one of my favourite people ever. Nuff said. 🙂

July??

KikiLeave a comment

I had a pretty nice weekend. I mixed at a bbq. Did a 2 hour 2step/garage set which was super fun. I haven’t played those records in ages.

Why is it July l already? Where is this summer going?

Klute is playing at the last Dynamite this weekend. He is always a treat. He’s an awesome dj.

Picked up my Zero T album the other day. Get yours! – I think I’ve talked about Zero T more than any other person in my blog since I started writing it… He should make me his p.r. person! 😉

My A.D.D is in full effect. I can’t concentrate on anything and I’m procrastinating up the wazoo. I can’t even really concentrate on this post so toodles for now.

Fireworks and Ish

KikiLeave a comment

Well the three day weekend starts for me as soon as I get out from behind this desk. I’m pretty swamped so I kinda don’t really have time to write. Pipeline played this Lynx tune Distance Zero yesterday that I’m loving and I also heard this Kjell tune on Will Miles show this morning called Promise to Lose that was quite the banger. (sorry no sample)

Oi! F Ur Bike

KikiLeave a comment

I have quite the affinity towards grime. There’s something about it that is so much like my secondary school days in London that I just love it. Me and Brandon were talking about More Fire Crew’s Oi! the other day and it totally made me think of the Sway and $tush video of F Ur X that I’d been meaning to post for a while. I just kinda spaced it but I was listening to the song this morning and decided it was a proper way to start my day. 🙂

Sway feat $tush – F Ur X

Mo Fire Crew – Oi!

I completely fucked my leg up on my bike yesterday. I have old school pedals and it was one of the things I need to change out but haven’t gotten around to it.  Yesterday was my warning cuz I scraped the fuck out of my calf.  It went pretty deep and all the way up my leg and there was blood everywhere. It hurt pretty bad but I figured it wasn’t that big of a deal and I could moan about it for a minute but when I woke up this morning my leg is really badly bruised and very swollen and I can barely walk on it. Lame.

Overfiend is in Chicago this week. He’s playing at Seminar tonight alongside my bff Pipeline, so if you’re around you should come hang out at Lava, should be good times. 🙂

Busy work day. Hopefully I can get into the Spirit of actually being productive… yeah yeah, pun intended, sometimes it’s necesary to be silly and unfunny, you can’t be perfect all the time. 😉

I work six days a week, monday thru friday at my 9 to 5 and every saturday at adidas.   When sunday gets here I try my hardest to be the laziest person ever.  Most of the time I succeed quite beautifully.  Yesterday I was in rare form.  I’m pretty sure I laid in my bed watching tv online for about 5 hours.  That’s what happens when you find a whole series online and it’s actually good and you really can’t find anything better to do with your time. 😉

I’m actually having a pretty chill day today.  It’s a lot easier to get shit done when you’re in a good mood.

Here’s Some tracks I’m loving…

Modemellow – Codian Moon

Atlantic Connection – True Love [I can’t seem to find an mp3 that doesn’t sound shitty and crackly:(]

Valiant & Pouya – Feel The Flow

BBS Bookings Podcast has my friend Pipeline on it.  I already listened to it and I love it.  I have reached that point on my ipod where I need to add some new ish so this will be a welcomed delight.

Weekend

KikiLeave a comment

I’m digging that Lynx tune Envy on Sonorous.

No amazing dnb insights today.  I’m just too busy and the overload of work is making me crabby.  I’m not as crabby as I was yesterday, just a bit miffed that’s all.  I’m so happy that the weekend is finally here and I can relax.  Yay.

Stunna turned me on to his buddy Ros’s mix.  Check it out.

I Hate You..

KikiLeave a comment

And by you I mean everyone and everything. Well not really. I’m just really tired and in a bit of a strop. I’ve been overexerting myself lately and I feel like my body and mind are not happy with me. I need some serious meditation time.

I’ve been scouring the new releases. Ugh, there’s a pretty horrible Lifting Spirits tune on the list. Sad. I used to really like Lifting Spirits. Not anymore I guess. There was an Atlantic Connection release with Lynx. I thought it was okay, nothing mind boggling though. I actually really like a lot of AC tracks, but I think Water is one of my tops for sure. It’s one of my “I’m depressed” tracks that I love to listen to. Sometimes when I’m a bit down in the dumps I just need some melancholy dnb to accompany in my misery. There was also a Q Project on the list. Meh. I used to be totally obsessed with Q Project. I felt like he had a really good run for a while a couple of years back. That’s totally my personality. I’m quite the extremist. It’s kinda all or nothing for me. I’ll be super into something and exhaust it to all ends and then just eliminate it from my life.

Man, I’m totally Negative Nelly today.

I won’t inflict my crabbiness on you any longer. Storm should get me back on track. She’s awesome and one of my faves.

Eternally yours,

Sourpuss Sally

I Object Your Honor

KikiLeave a comment

The one thing about my job is if one person doesn’t come to work it fucks up everything for the other lawyers.  Each lawyer has their own assistant so if they don’t show up they are fucked and have to find someone else to do their work.  There’s only 4 employees at my firm.  1 of them is out sick.  Now I’ve got a bunch of shit on top of my other shit and it’s actually not hard stuff to do, it’s just that it makes for a really long fucking day and it’s only 9 am. *sigh*

I’ve been listening to that Format mix that I posted before that had all the new Zero T tracks on it over and over for the past couple of days.  Dnb is really great to work out to, so that’s been my elliptical machine mix.  I’ve actually been listening to some of the same mixes on repeat for the past 5 days so I feel like I don’t have that much to report in the new tracks department.  I feel like when I listen to Bassdrive today I might have some stuff to discuss cuz that’s where I’ve been hearing all my new shit lately.

One that sticks out is that Dave Owen – On Point tune.  Definitely digging that one.  It’s just a party tune.  I don’t know why I didn’t write about that one before because I’ve actually been into it for the past month.  I don’t have a sample sorry.  I’m loving Tyler Straub’s stuff too.  Easy Does It?  That’s a complete summer jam.

I could rant forever but I’ve got a bunch of work to do.

Method One is at Seminar today.  It’s him and Submorphics.  I’m looking forward to good music and my friends.  Shout out to Greg, play Desperate Times dammit. 😉
