Studious Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

It feels so much better when one is busy.  Good busy.

In my past year of unemployment, that is what has caused me the most depression.  It’s just not fun to feel useless.

I have Joia again today.  Her dad will be back this weekend I think.

My biggest problem right now is that one of the programs I’m applying to requires a writing sample, like a research paper of sorts…  Hmmm.  Nope.  My programs that I studied second time around at school were very creative:  screenwriting, sitcom writing, sketch comedy writing, public relations marketing plans and the like.  None of that will work for a writing sample and I’m completely screwed.  LOL.  I did have one paper that I wrote for a psychology class and recently threw it out with numerous other piles of crap as I was trying to figure out why I had papers that I had written in primary school in London still in my room.  I just purged numerous nonsense piles of rubbish that were creating mayhem in my cabinet.

Anyways, now I have to  spend this week writing some semblance of a writing sample to turn in.  Wish me luck.  This is something I am horibble at.  Hence the reason I went the creative angle in my studies.  I remember when I was in high school my teachers always complaining that I was not allowed to write how I spoke.  That is the only way I know how to write!!  LOL.  APA style was definitely not my friend.  This paper will be very interesting. 😉

End Of Fuss Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

So Christmas is done.  No more people fussing about, which is nice.  I had a good one.  I really enjoyed the time with the fam.  I’m still in NJ.  My sisters are gone already.  Now it’s just me and mum left hovering over my nephew.  He’s still too adorable.  I took some pics but realised that I didn’t bring my cord to upload them so they’ll have to wait til I get back to Chi.

I’m going to Philly tomorrow and then New York on wednesday.  It’s nice that both places are just an hour train ride away.   I’m on a quest for more hanging out time but this time it’s with my friends.  Woot.  Hope everyone had a great holiday.

500 Days of Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

I apologise for my absence on Friday.  I sadly report that I spilled water on my laptop.  I have never darted so fast but alas it didn’t really help.  I should be grateful that it still works though.  It’s been drying for the past 3 days.  The keyboard is shot so I had to get an external one.  Fortunately it’s a wireless one so it’s not as annoying as it could be, but it’s still kind of annoying.

Smart Bar was cool.  I’m so used to playing gigs where me and my friends just sit around and drink so it’s nice to have gigs where people actually dance and they definitely do that at Smart Bar.  Not quite sure where these people come from cuz I never see them at Lava for the dnb shows there, but I am still grateful for their enthusiasm and appreciate their dancing. 🙂

I’ve had a pretty lovely weekend.  Sam and Katie are here so I’ve been enjoying really good meals and some good hang out sessions.

Yesterday I went to go see 500 Days of Summer with Melissa and Zora.  CUTE!  Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt are my two favourite indie actors so it’s a double pleasure having them both be in the same film and they were adorable.  I loved the movie.  Fun fact:  I found out that the guy that directed the film went to my high school.  Not like oh in 1948 or whatever but like he was in the same year as my older brother and Melissa.  Melissa  knows him. (Melissa and I went to high school together but she was just two years older than me.)  I think as you get older you realise that at some point there’s a good chance that at least one person you went to high school or college with is going to be famous.  There’s at least 5 people that I knew during that period of my life (high school/college) that are famous.  Props to them.

Tunes:
Metrik – Time to Change (track is in player)
I was a huge fan of Stranger (also in player) last year, Spinn turned me on to it.  Metrik’s tunes give me that Video Killed The Radio Star feel.  Don’t ask me why.  LOL.  It’s not a bad thing.  Video Killed the Radio Star was my favourite song when I was like 5 and I still love it to this day.  Big up The Buggles.  Eek… my age is definitely showing!

Geez.  I must have missed you.  I’m all chatty cathy today. 🙂

Today’s Oldie:
Scorpio aka Dj Die & Roni Size – Trouble – V Recordings 1997
This tune was one I loved to mix.  It’s definitely not a good stand alone tune but it’s fun to ride out mixes with.  I remember I mixed at a Minneapolis outdoor fest called Cedar Fest one year and it was so ridiculously hot.  It was a horrible gig as they had asked me to mix between the bands but the bands kept doing their sound checks while I was mixing and they were really loud and annoying as it was some weird rock station stage (I was the queen of getting random gigs back then.  LOL.) and it was like 95 degrees out and the tables were set up directly in the sun and my records were warping as I was mixing.  I kid you not.  I remember being annoyed that I had put my records in such hot heat for people that couldn’t even hear my set anyways.  This record suffered the most.  I turned it into an ashtray for the apartment as the warping was so bad I couldn’t even play it anymore.

Toodloo ’08

KikiLeave a comment

So I made my top 25 of 2008. I feel like it’s a bit nonsense to do this because a) I cheated and just did it from May onwards cuz that’s when I started my blog and have detailed documentation of all the tracks I liked and b) I obsess over tracks so much there’s no way I like a track that I heard in May as much as I do one I like today cuz of the whole “playing on repeat constantly” factor. So this dodgy mash up top 25 will just have to do. 😉

I was going to try and pick a favourite for the number one spot but that is just utterly impossible for me. So here they are in no particular order whatsoever. Some I couldn’t track down mp3s for because they haven’t been released yet or whatever so I apologise for the lack of samples.

Top 25

01. Calibre – Alone In A Crowd

02. Blame – Stay Forever

03. Q Project – Tears – Marky & Bungle Remix

06. Specific – Tell Me

07. Chase & Status – Take Me Away

08. Break – Enigma – Calibre Remix

24. B-complex – Beautiful Lies

25. S.P.Y. – Seeing Through Shadows

I hope everyone has a good New Year’s Eve. I’m just having people over my place and chillaxing. I don’t like dealing with the NYE crowd. I’m noticing that I really am slowly slipping into senior citizen status as a majority of the time I would much prefer to stay at my house and have people visit me than go out. LOL. I guess I’m just getting ready for when I get put in a nursing home.

Am I Bothered?

Kiki1 Comment
So I’m fucking lazy and can’t be bothered to write a good post today. Here’s some wedding pics and some Chris Inperspective. I’ll get my ass in gear tomorrow.
Shouts to Erin and Catherine Tate…. “Face, not bothered.” It probably won’t be funny to anyone else but Catherine Tate is fucking hilarious and she created a character called Lauren who’s catchphrase is “Am I bothered?”
So here’s a pic of where we were at in Two Harbors, Minnesota. Absolutely beautiful.
Lake Superior

Here’s the happy couple.

Here’s us ladies all dolled up.

I’m gonna go check out Dara tonight at Seminar for some old skool bizness. Should be fun.

Scout’s Honour

Kiki2 Comments

My stomach hurts. I ate too many girl scout cookies. 😦

I don’t have anything of great interest to write about today. I’ve been racking my brain to come up with a cool topic and I feel like my mind is pretty empty, which is just crazy cuz there’s always mindless chatter circulating up there.

*shrugs*

I think I’m just tired.

Some good news though. That Survival track I was coveting is out on promo. Woot.

Freetown

KikiLeave a comment

Freetown is the capital of Sierra Leone… just in case you wondering. 😉 That’s where my family is from.

I had a really cool weekend. Just hung out with my mum and went to a bunch of African parties.

Living in London, being an African child was so much a part of my everyday life just cuz all my family lives there. The British colonized so many countries in Africa that there is such an abundance of African people running around. Here in America I’m just seen as the black girl who grew up in London and is from Africa so whenever I go home and kick it all Africa to the max style it’s pretty fun cuz I don’t get to do it on a regular basis.

Madison, Wisconsin has a huge African community. Strange, I know. A lot of people came over for the University and then just kept bringing their relatives over. When my brother got married last year it was seriously an African extravaganza. (That’s what I call them anyways cuz they are always a huge todo) So many different African countries represented and just a huge party. My friends are always trying to get invited to the next soiree cuz they are super fun.

I know as a kid I definitely wasn’t that into being different. it’s not “cool” to be the kid who’s mum always wears African outfits and speaks another language that no one else understands when you’re thirteen. As an adult on the other hand, I totally enjoy it. I’m really into my family and our traditions and what not and I wouldn’t have it any other way. 🙂

Here’s my mum and my brother Martin at his wedding. He had one regular wedding and then an African extravaganza. We got all gussied up in African garb for the African extravaganza. I hate taking pictures and therefore don’t really have any of me at the event but my mum and my bro look pretty cute.

Hmmm. Didn’t mean to write that much about my fam but I guess the whole African thing was heavy on my mind after a weekend with my mum. 🙂

Back to the world of dnb.

I listened to a lot of dnb on the drive home to Wisconsin. There was this really awesome mix I listened to that I thoroughly enjoyed… but you could totally tell that it wasn’t mix by a person. I mean the person tried to play it off like it was. On the download page they wrote a whole paragraph about what brought them to do the mix blah blah blah but it was totally a computer mixing which kinda defeats the purpose doesn’t it? *shrugs*

Heard this High Contrast that I was digging. I feel like I’ve been hearing High Contrast tracks lately that don’t seem to come out. I’m sure I’m wrong in that statement. I should rephrase it as “I hear High Contrast songs and never seem to get a hold of them.” LOL I feel like current High Contrast stuff is ideal for listening but I couldn’t necessarily see myself including them in my set. I would maybe play this latest one but the other one I’ve been loving for a while was Eternal Optimist and I think it’s too slow to actually get my set going.

Adele – Hometown Glory (High Contrast Remix)

Survival & Chris Inperspective – The Source/Herb Minus

There’s also a pretty fresh Survival and Chris Inperspective. The Herb Minus sounds like some of Chris Inperspective’s other tracks but I still like it just the same.

Is That You Biffy?

KikiLeave a comment

With the workload so heavy this week I’ve been coming in to work at 7 am. I know that sounds insane but I’m already up so I just leave the house instead of mucking about and watching tivo. It’s nice to get out at 4 pm too. The only drawback is that I’m going to bed super early cuz I’m so tired by the time it gets dark.

Seminar was really good last night. Sable Gray was dope and we all know how I feel about my buddy Stunna. 😉 I was just so tired though and I could barely keep my eyes open so I left early. I’m pretty sure I’m also just exhausted from the overhaul of exercise I’ve been getting the past couple of days. I got my bike this week and have been riding it to work. It’s a bit of a shock to my lazy ass when the majority of exercise I usually get is the 1 minute walk to the train station from my house! Anyway I’m digging the bike. It’s nice riding all over the city.

I feel like a naughty blogger because I haven’t really been able to tell you all the tracks I’ve been loving lately. This week at work is just hectic so hopefully I’ll be back in full chatterbox form soon.

In the meantime here’s this Chris Inperspective mix. Stunna was telling me how his new stuff is awesome and I just hadn’t really taken the time to listen to any of it, that was until I heard Biffy’s Not Here. Stunna played it before and it totally caught my ear. Sick tune. It’s hauntingly deep. Definitely loving it. There was this mix from the beginning of May that I had actually already downloaded but never listened to and Biffy’s on there so I guess I’ll be raving out to this one while I try to get through my ridiculous pile of work.
