Mellow Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

I’m excited for the weekend.  I feel like I have fun activities in store.  Fun by my definition anyways.

It’s Jessica’s bday on sunday but we’re celebrating tonight.  We’re gonna be lowkey and just have a nice meal and kick it grownz up style.

Tomorrow I’m gonna go see Madeleine’s new digs as she has moved to my neck of the woods, not down the street but definitely closer than Pilsen.

Then sunday me and Caroline are going to Bed Bath and Beyond to give our bathroom a makeover.

Yes, like I said before, these things are exciting to me and me alone.  LOL.  Caroline moving in has given me the push I needed to inject new life into my flat.  I’ve been meaning to do it for ages but really just never did it.  Sometimes I need some drastic change to happen to motivate me to get a move on.

Tunes:
Simplification – In My Mind (track is in player)

Today’s Oldie:
Marky & XRS – The Wizard – Innerground Records 2005
I’m stuck in 2003/2004/2005 this week for some reason.  We’ll have to take the time machine a little further back next week 😉

Anti-Social Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

Yesterday Jessica made fish tacos with mango salsa.  We’re so fancy I can’t even stand it. 😉  Going out doesn’t interest me at all these days.  I would much rather stay at home with some good company, testing out recipes and eating yummy food.

Early A.M. Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

It’s  really early.  I’ve been an early riser for as long as I can remember but still it never stops being strange that I’m awake kicking it when everyone else is completely passed out.  My gym is open 24 hours so I think I’m gonna head over there once I finish this post.

I don’t really have anything exciting to talk about this week.  It’s a pretty slow week.  I’m definitely feeling the unemployment factor right now because I’ve been working with my friend for the past couple of weeks so my idle time has been pretty much non-existent.  This week he’s out of town though and I’ve had to keep myself busy.  There are activities to do but they are activities of my own creation, so that makes the “I really have nothing to do factor” quite high.

Tunes:
Spectrasoul feat. Mike Knight – Melodies (track is in player)

Today’s Oldie:
Dj Zinc – Fruitella – True Playaz 2004

Kiki = She-Ra

KikiLeave a comment

Had a pretty good weekend.  Summer’s are fun.  I love the sporadic spree of activities that come about.

I participated in the scriptwriting for that film contest and had a blast.

Went to Milwaukee on saturday to visit Dan and Monica and the kiddies and that was lovely just cuz I like my friends a lot.

Sunday, me and Caroline ventured to Ikea and got a bookcase that was a lot bigger and heavier than we thought it would be once we had put it together but we managed.  I believe in my She-Ra powers dammit!   I know this is a common thing discussed with Ikea products, but is it really that hard to write one sentence that explains how to put your shit together?  Sometimes one sentence can save the day people.

Spent  the rest of the day kicking it with Jessica and Joia and went to Wicker Park Fest.  Is the barrage of summer street festivals over yet?

Tunes:
Lenzman feat. Jo-S – Coincidence (track is in both players)

Theraflu Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

Well I guess Theraflu was the cure all.  I actually feel physically better.  The cough is still there but at least I don’t feel like I’m dying.  Woot.

Raiden last night, woohoo.  There wasn’t really anyone there but his set was fire.  Awesome.  I’m definitely digging his style these days.

How is it friday?  Unemployment just blurs my days together and since I don’t really have anywhere to be, ever, I just kinda float through the week.  LOL.

The 48 hour film contest is this weekend.  Tonight I meet with the other screenwriters and we write the script.  Should be fun. 🙂

Tunes:
Sinistarr – Rolland Berry (track is in player)
Also check out the track in the bottom of his player. It doesn’t have a name just an underscore _________. Sick bizness.

Cough Suppressant Kiki

Kiki1 Comment

So I must admit I’ve been pretty poorly for the past week.  My allergies manifested themselves into this horrid cold and I’ve just been surviving.  Now it’s almost all gone apart from this nasty cough.  I guess I’m not taking the right medicine cuz this ish is not going anywhere.  I bought some theraflu so hopefully that helps.

If you’re in Chicago tonight go check out Raiden at Smart Bar.  Woot.

Tunes:
Paul SG – Living in the Past (track is in player)
I even annoy myself with how much I keep gushing about Paul SG.  I just dig his vibe.  He’s my current obsession so I guess you’ll just have to ride this one out like you do all the other ones. 😉

Today’s Oldie:
Ed Rush & Optical – Funktion – V Recordings 1998
I find it very strange that I haven’t put this as an oldie yet.  I prolly was avoiding putting the obvious ones and just forgot.  I have a list of all the oldies that I have posted so I don’t repeat and I looked on it and was like huh?  This is definitely one of my fave Ed Rush & Optical tunes.  Lovesit.

My buddy Hwilde informed me that the Nymfo mix I posted yesterday is ridden with emcee loudness.  Boo.  I apologise.  I didn’t listen to it.  I just posted it.  I told you I’m behind on listening. :”(

Here’s Bassdrive’s own Methodus with a summer treat.  Should be a good listen.

Funky Kiki

Kiki1 Comment

It’s funny how you can be completely oblivious about categories of music.  There’s just so damn many.  Just the other day Radiata used the term skullstep and I was completely clueless.  I’m so liquid funk til I die that most of these terms are lost on me.  Skullstep can pal up with clownstep as far as I’m concerned.  Just not my cup of tea.  I don’t like weird, noisy, scary, angry dnb.  This is something that you have definitely learned about me by now, right?  Pretty, pretty, pretty, that is definitely what Kiki is about. 😉

I was listening to 1xtra this weekend as I cleaned my place and I tuned in to Dj Target’s show.  He kept talking about UK Funky and I was unaware that this was a music category.  I recognised the tunes.  I am a Crazy Cousinz fan.  I think that I posted a track of theirs sometime last year even.  I was just unaware that they had a category name.  LOL.  Regardless I’m digging it. (Daniela I feel like you might like this genre.)  To be honest they were the types of non-dnb tracks that I was digging anyway.  I just like that now I can look under a specific category and prolly find stuff I like.

Loving this one right now.  Girly, pretty, dancey, wicked.  Woot.  Big up Meleka.

Meleka – Go (Crazy Cousinz Remix)

Back in dnb land… I’m excited for the Raiden show here in Chicago on thursday.  Raiden has been popping back and forth thru Chicago as he goes on different legs of his tour.  I’ve been fortunate enough to hear different snippets of him practising and he sounds wicked.  Really good tracks and just overall nice mixing.  You cant be crap anyways when you’ve been around as long as he has.  He’ll be at Smart Bar tomorrow.  I’m not going to lie… I can do without the openers.  I’m sure they are wonderful people but I just don’t have the tolerance for noisy dnb anymore.  I am a senior citizen dammit.  Like I said at the beginning of this post rowdy, loud, noisy, scary dnb is no longer in my vocabulary.  I’m just going for his set. 🙂

I’m still trudging through mixes.  I’m so so behind.  LOL.  Bad Kiki.

Feeling a bit better.  At least I can breathe again and my eyes aren’t itching and my throat doesn’t feel like someone scratched it out with a spoon. 😉

How is July almost over?  This summer is going by too quick.  I do have lots of friends coming into town towards the end of it though so at least it will go out with a bang.

Still job hunting.  I wish I had more exciting things to tell you but the life of an unemployed person generally isn’t that exciting.

There’s a lot of good mixes going around right now.  I’m going to have to catch up so I can talk about more tunes.

Tunes:
Mikal – Highway (track is in player)

Contour – Unwind

Prolix feat. Maldini & Vegas – Hall of Mirrors
A little bit harder than what I usually listen to but I still like it.  I was working out when I heard it though so I’m sure I was definitely feeling the high energy beats.

KikiLeave a comment

So fine, whatever, I’ve come to terms with it, I’m a full blown allergy haver and that shit is not fucking fun.  I’m a sneezing maniac, my throat hurts, my eyes itch, and my nose won’t stop running.  Is that cute?  Absolutely not.  I’ve been   trying to be a trooper and not whine but it’s 4:55 am and I can’t breathe and I’m bloody miserable.

Moving on, it is the weekend, though for an unemployed person that shouldn’t really mean that much since I kinda don’t have a schedule but it does mean that others will be able to hang out with me so at least there will be fun things to do.

It’s Juju’s bday tomorrow.  Yay.

Screenwriter Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

I’m on the writing team for this 48 hour film contest.  I’m kinda excited.  It  should be fun.  Crazy, but fun.  We basically get told a genre, character, prop and line of text and 6pm on Friday and have to write a script, shoot the film, edit it etc and have it turned in by 6pm sunday.  We had our first meeting yesterday and it went pretty well.

There’s no reason you would know this cuz I’ve never really divulged this info but I’m an aspiring screenwriter.  I’m working on a film with my writing partner right now and I’ve also been working on my portfolio.  I’ve written a couple of pilots and spec scripts and I’m just trying to immerse myself in the scene.  I’m a newbie.  Activities like this contest are fun.

Dollar Bill Kiki

Kiki2 Comments

This new aimlessly wandering lifestyle I seem to have adopted is so odd.  If there’s anything anyone would say about me it’s that I’m usually a stickler for structure.

I’m still job hunting and I’m also doing some work for one of my friends as well as holding on to my current savings for dear life.  I have enough money to last me for a minute but at the same time I’m being quite stingy with my dollars.

It’s actually kinda interesting to not know what’s going on day to day.  I don’t know if I could do this on a permanent basis but for now I’m kinda enjoying it. 🙂

Tunes:
Commix – Breaking Through
I could have sworn I posted this already but I was probably just waiting for a sample. Love it.

Eveson – Bluebird (track is in player)
I must say I really like Eveson’s vibe.  Pretty tunes.

Today’s Oldie:
Commix – Midas Touch – Subtitles Music 2005
I figured I’d continue on the Commix route. This track isn’t as old obviously but it’s still one of my Commix faves.
