Sexy, sultry, scorching, sizzling, seductive, sensuous … and I’m sure there’s more s words on thesaurus.com that can describe how I feel about this tune but I’m too lazy too look.
Good winter vibes for this shitty single digit weather. ❤

Midterm Kiki
Studying for midterms. Grad school is good. I’m still enjoying it but dang there really aren’t enough hours in the day. I am stressed cuz I don’t ever have time for anything. Sigh. There’s a beautiful bright light at the end of this tunnel and so I will just keep trudging through. 🙂
Dave Owen is at Smart Bar today. Go check him out if you’re in town.
Also Natives at Crocodile is tonight. Ike Release is playing.
Should be a fun night all round. I’m excited that I get to see my dnb buddies. ❤

Au Revoir 2009
I’m making an executive decision and doing my end of year top tracks today. I’m going to Philly today and then I’m not taking my laptop with me to NY tomorrow so that really leaves me no time to write.
Here is my repeat of end of year disclaimers…
My list is always going to be kinda bogus. LOL. The tunes I blogged about towards the end of the year are still fresh in my mind and therefore get more attention than the ones I blogged about back in the beginning of the year cuz I’m not sick of hearing them yet. The list is in no particular order. I have been told that I have strange taste in some dnb track so my list means absolutely nothing. It’s just a compilation of songs that I personally liked over 2009. We also must take into account that the latter half of the year I wasn’t as diligent about writing tracks down due to the loss of my job so I’m not as up on new tunes as I used to be. This list is just of tracks that I would have been happy to keep on my ipod for the past 365 days.
End of disclaimer. 😉
I mulled over my list for ages. I started out with 70 tracks and could only cut it down to 30 this year. LOL. I really tried to narrow it to at least 20 but I really like all the tracks on the list, so 30 it is. Eek. This will be a long post. 🙂

Shakedown Kiki
CC has left the building, I repeat, CC has left the building. Man, it was really awesome to have her here. I definitely had a fun filled jam packed crazy 5 days. Now back to my regular, boring, serious life where I have no job and have to get one ASAP. Boo.
Shakedown is tonight with Tyler Straub. Can you say woot? Beatchemist is in town and Dave Owen is supposed to be coming too. Can you say woot squared? I have been missing in action from my drum and bass posse for almost a month. I feel this is the perfect opportunity to make my comeback. Woot cubed??? Ok…. definitely taking it too far. 😉
I’ve been listening to so much dnb so I’m excited to just go out and hear some good music. Chi peoples, make your way to Lava this evening. You won’t be disappointed. Stunna and Lamebrane are playing too so your attendance is a must!
Tunes:
Modemellow – Feel Inside (track is in player)
Today’s Oldie:
Q Project – Soul Star – Liquid V 2005
Might as well continued the Shakedown mania. Here’s Shakedown Mix #5. I feel like I just wrote an extended radio ad for Shakedown. Hee hee. The kind that just goes on and on and on or better yet one of those One Nation ads you hear at the beginning of some mixes where Skibba does a bunch of rhyming and sneaks in a “woo ooo ha ha ha” and it rhymes with a string of sentences that were said at warp speed… Hmmm you get the pic. I’m just a wee bit too chatty this a.m., so lemme shut my trap now.

Muscle Kiki
Grrr. I fucked up my shoulder at the gym yesterday. Pain, pain, pain. The annoying part about shit like that is you just have to wait for it to go away.
Shakedown was fun yesterday at first I was miserable cuz I was tired and my shoulder hurt but then I went home, relaxed for a bit and came back and kicked it. Lava being a 5 minute walk from my house is always a bonus. I loved Dave Owen’s set. Good tunes.

Sunny Kiki
Woot. I am so happy about the good weather we’ve got coming up. It’s supposed to 68 today and then in the 80s this weekend. Everything just seems so much more fun when the sun comes out to play.
Speaking of nice weather, you now have no excuse but to trek to Smart Bar and come see your locals play tonight if you live in the Chi. I’m excited. It should be fun. It’s me, Lamebrane, Zew and Phantom 45. Come out!
Tunes:
M25 feat. First Function & The Square – On The South (track is in M25 player)
Today’s Oldie:
Calibre & High Contrast – Mr. Majestic – Signature Records 2004
I’m mostly picking this as today’s oldie because I can’t find my record. Boo. I wanted to play it tonight and of course it’s nowhere to be seen. I’m sure it’ll turn up when I don’t need it, as usual. Nice collab. Love it.
The Shakedown posse are coming full force. I’m looking forward to the Dave Owen night and am definitely digging the mixes.

Good Friday
I guess it’s good friday. Good friday in the sense that it’s the weekend and I’m going to go spend Easter with my mum.
I’m such a heathen. I went to Catholic school for 12 years and then decided organised religion wasn’t really for me and haven’t really paid attention to the meaning of the holidays since then. Like I guess I celebrate them cuz everyone else does but really I’ve kinda just decided that I’m cool with my own made up spiritual beliefs.
Ooh. Religion is such a taboo topic in a public forum. I’ll stop now. I was just thinking about it cuz I’m at work hella early cuz it’s Good Friday and we only have to work half day so the earlier I come in the earlier I get to leave. 😉
Tunes:
Dave Owen – Stay Cool (track is in music player)
I’m a Dave Owen fan. There’s a bunch more of his tracks that I love of his and have chicken scratch post it notes for but unfortunately no samples. I like this tune, I mean it’s pretty hard to hate anything with a Biggie sample in my opinion.
Todays Oldie:
Craggz & Parallel Forces – Fizzy Piglets – Valve Recordings 2004
I saw that they have a DOA mix that I was considering posting but then decided to go with an oldie by them instead cuz today I’m all about the ASC mix below that I found on Everyday Junglist. Love C & P though. Good tune.

The boredom continues. That pic above is pretty much what I look like at my desk. I’m just going to write blog titles that say boredom in different languages until it stops. LOL.
I really shouldn’t complain. I’m getting paid to listen to dnb radio for 8 hours and tool around.
Heard some good uns today.
Carl Matthes & Bionic 1 – Let It Go: I really wish I had a sample of this for you. I’m gonna have to say it’s definitely my favourite tune right now. I’ve checked both of their myspaces and they haven’t posted it yet. Amazing tune. I actually heard it last week but I must have lost my scrawled tattered post it note that I had it written on cuz I didn’t write about it… unless I did and forgot, which I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if that was the case, you know how I am.
Naibu – Opium Lady: Oh Naibu, mon petit chou-fleur. He is just awesome. I love his stuff. This particular one isn’t in the player but there’s some other really great tunes in there too.
Dave Owen – A Little Of This: I’m really liking this dude’s style. Good track. (Sorry no sample)
B-complex – Ocean Deep: I’ve just recently been turned on to B-complex. I dig his stuff. Still loving Reflections too. (Both tracks are in the player)
Sonorous is killing these days. Looking forward to hearing this mix.

I Object Your Honor
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. 😉
