Kiki Saw You & Him…

It’s raining and it made me think of this amazing Orange Juice Jones video. LOL. This video is pure hilarity. “You cold busted!” I can’t embed it but you really should check out the link if you’re bored. Awesome.

Orange Juice Jones – The Rain

Bassdrive Fuzed Funk w/ Jason Magin – Rainy Day Rollers 11/30/08
No Tracklist – Just liquidy goodness.
I was happy to come across this mp3 because it’s perfect for what’s going on outside here in Chicago. It’s raining cats and dogs! What a strange phrase. I’ve always been a big fan of the rain, as long as I’m not in it.

We all know that I listen to Bassdrive all day every day but I’ve actually never listen to Jason Magin’s Fuzed Funk show. It was a welcomed treat to my morning. I really enjoyed it.

Monday

Had a pretty nice weekend. Friday I bar hopped like a mad woman which is so unlike me these days but it was really fun. I think I need to leave my house more. It’s been almost 2 months since I stopped working weekends and I’m still way too into lying around my house watching tv. GET OFF THE COUCH KIKI!

I noticed that it got really dark super early yesterday. Daylight savings end is still two weeks away but the darkness is just creeping upon us. Boo.

I don’t really have anything exciting planned for this week. We’ll see what happens as the days go on.

Heard this one the other day and was quite digging it:

ATP – Struggle (track is in the player)

Today’s Oldie: Dom & RolandHomicideMoving Shadow 1999 For a while I was really just into the sing along aspect of dnb. I wanted just to dance to it and know the words if they were any. I stayed away from the organic sounding tracks cuz I really didn’t understand the production aspect. Once I really started to take the tracks apart I of course learned to love way more producers. Dom & Roland was one of them. His back catalogue is so ridiculously awesome. Homicide is one of my favourites. Unfortunately my record is really badly scratched and skips so I can only play like 2 minutes of it. Boo.

Toodles

I like posting the Hospital Records podcast because it’s short and sweet and good and a nice way to start your week.

Shiver Me Timbers

I swear I said I liked autumn… not fucking winter. It is really cold outside. Dang.

It’s funny when you have these mini moments in your life where you reflect and you’re like, damn I’m an adult. We went out to dinner for Stunna’s bday last night and it was really nice. All I require for my night to be great these days is the company of my lovely friends and a good meal. I can guarantee you that was not the case when I was in my early 20s. LOL.

I’ve been listening a lot to that Paul SG Bios Podcast for the past two days. What a great mix. I know I talk about Paul SG’s production a lot but you should really check it out. Just awesome stuff. Some gems that I’ve picked out from the mix that I love are Touch and Memphis Blues which is a collabo with Caine. Just listen to the mix. You won’t be sorry. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Today’s Oldie: Cause 4 ConcernSkewer 2001 Renegade Hardware There’s something really sad and eerie about this track that just gets me. I love it. I remember I played it a lot. I just think all the elements have great impact once they hit your ears. I feel like it’s one of those tunes that you just kinda stand in the club and wish you were standing as close to the speaker as possible so you can just blissfully nod your head. Renegade Hardware was one of my main go to labels back then.

If’ you’re down to party tonight, Stunna’s having a bday jam at Seminar. Come out and hear him and Grand Marquee and Radiata. Should be fun times. ๐Ÿ™‚

I’m having a hard time finding a mix today.ย  This Hospital Podcast will have to do.

Mes Amis

I’m a wee bit crabby today. Boo. ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

Too much annoying work and I sure as hell don’t feel like doing it, which is just pathetic since it’s only tuesday. Boo squared.

I am really looking forward to this weekend though. It’s my friend Jessica’s 30th bday and a bunch of our friends from Minneapolis are coming for the weekend. Jessica is one of my oldest and dearest friends. She was my old roomate when I lived in Minneapolis and she moved to Chicago the year after I did. I think it was a bonus for me because I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have settled in as easily to my Chicago lifestyle if I hadn’t had someone that was a good friend that knew me really well to kick it with while I went on my quest to meet new people.

I’m quite fond of my friends. Five of them from Minneapolis are coming up for the weekend and they are both mine and Jessica’s mutual really good friends. I know it sounds dumb and corny to talk about how much you appreciate your friends, but as you get older it’s a lot harder to make new friends. I’ve had the same tight knit group of friends for 11 to 12 years. They aren’t acquaintances who I just see out. They are genuine people who have been a part of my life consistently and actually care about what happens to me. I thought that everyone had those go to people that they rely on no matter what but I’m discovering that that isn’t really always the case and therefore I am very grateful for my friends. The key test to friendship is when you have significantly big changes in your life, whether or not those people continue to be your friends. Be it having a child, moving to a different state or getting married. All three of these things have happened to our group of friends and our friendships are still in tact and still as strong. I’m quite fortunate that I met some really great people once I moved to Chicago too and have added them to my little group. I hope others have the same luck I do cuz honestly, there’s nothing better than having great friends. ๐Ÿ™‚

*end of emo rant*

I heard some new Hospital Records stuff that wasn’t really my cup of tea. Bah, I think I might just not be that into the direction they are heading these days. No harm done. Not every sound is gonna please everyone. it’s still a pretty good label regardless.

Part one of Redeyes’ LP is out on promo. I really like the Conart track. I can’t say I’m really into that Deeizm track. I think she’s a really great emcee but I kinda get annoyed when the vocals tend to dominate a whole track unless your Diane Charlemagne or something. Yeah I’m a picky bitch. Whatever.

RedeyesPoetry In Motion LP Part 1

I’ve been waiting for this Random Movement for ages. I fucking love this Lesson & Aftermath. It’s so melodic and just plain ol lovely, beautiful, liquidy, pretty, all those adjectives and then some. Definite make out music. ๐Ÿ˜‰ The flip is really good too.

Random MovementLesson & Aftermath

I’m going to go back to being crabby and continue sulking as I get my work done.

Super Sharp Shooter

I’m waiting for my Danny Byrd Supersized EP. I think it comes out next week. Danny Byrd, for me, is my jump up dnb. It always makes me feel rowdy and I love it. I totally feel like it livens up my sets and they are good transition tracks when your trying to go from pretty to dance floor bangers. To be honest I haven’t really bought anything from Hospital Records in a while. I used to be all about them. Any release I was so on it! Maybe I’ve just gotten more boring ( I don’t know how that could possibly happen because I’m boring enough as it is already) and can’t keep up with status quo. *shrugs*

A duo I love to include in my “jump up” collection is Marky and Bungle. I remember having a conversation with Pipeline and we were talking about how crazy it is that their remixes are so fire! Seriously. I have to be pretty amped up to dance these days but I will totally dance to a Marky and Bungle remix. That Q Project Tears Remix was so awesome and, I still totally love that Dj ZincHear No Evil Remix.

Talking about jump up totally makes me think of how different those old jungle days were. I was seriously True Playaz / Ganja Records til I die. Peace, Love and Unity!! Those ravin’ days were so fun. I remember trying to learn to do tricks with Super Sharp Shooter. I guess the clownstep lovers would argue that clownstep is the jump up of today. I beg to differ. I think those songs of yesteryear can’t even compare to the horrific mess that is clownstep today. Again though, like I’ve said before, everyone is entitled to their opinion so since this is my blog I get to complain about clownstep as much as I want. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Back to work.

I totally admit that I don’t really know who mSdoS is but the tracklist looks good and I kinda wanna hear the Bungle mix so it’ll do.
