Headless Chicken Kiki

Kiki2 Comments

Oh man.  My life is kinda hectic.  I wish I was as calm as that headless chicken in that pic above.  I just chose this pic cuz I thought it was funny. The chaos is the result of all good changes happening but I’m just a bit pressed for time so it’s a wee bit stressful.  I’ll fill you in later. 😉

I have been on an old skool jungle kick all day.  I went to Internet Rave Archive and just listened to mixtape after mixtape.  It was a good afternoon.  Great homework music. 🙂

I don’t really have any tunes to highlight today.  I’ve been listening to a lot of mixes but nothing has really been standing out to me.  I can tell you though that I’ve developed a mayjaaah obsession with Roy Green & Protone.  Really digging their stuff.

Today’s Oldie:
This one is seriously dope.  Such a goodie. ❤
Hired Gun – Dem Gun Mad (Pow Pow) – Jungle  From Kniteforce 1994

Queen of the Dairy

KikiLeave a comment

I love ice cream. Most people do. The only person I know who doesn’t get excited to delve into a pint of ice cream for no good reason whatsoever is my friend Reisha. My biggest complaint since I moved to the Chi six years ago was that there wasn’t a Dairy Queen within walking distance from my house. My old place in Minneapolis was a block away from one and it was the highlight of many a day. When Jessica and I heard that they had opened one on Damen we was ecstatic! I will definitely be getting a Dairy Queen ice cream bday cake this year, trust!

We finally made our way there last night. The service was not the best but then Jessica made the good point that when have you ever gone to a Dairy Queen and gotten impeccable service! LOL. I seriously was on cloud 9. I got a French Silk Blizzard and it seriously might have been the best thing I’ve tasted all year. (I’m sure you’ve come to terms with my exaggeration problem so I doubt it was the best thing I’ve tasted all year but we’ll just go with it for today) I was looking for a pic of Dairy Queen to post and one of the web pages I came across was the nutritional content of Dairy Queen items…. 1410 Calories in that French Silk Blizzard. Yikes. I’m not really that weight conscious and what not but dang, it’s seems a little insane to spend 2/3 of your recommended daily calorie intake on a blizzard. It was good but again, dang.

I’m becoming more boring by the minute. It’s a sad day when the most exciting thing I have to tell you about last night is my gluttonous trip to Dairy Queen. 😉

Yesterday on Bassdrive chat they were having an old skool conversation about Andy C. I joined in for a mo. Basically anything Andy C/Ram affiliated after 2002 is so not really my thing, but all that stuff before then, man, so awesome. I have been buying more Ram Records lately though since Chase and Status are on there and I like their tunes every now and again. Take Me Away FTW.

Ever since I listened to that Optical tape on the Internet Rave Archive I’ve been totally craving old dnb tracks. I really am going to try and organize my records this weekend, or at least start it.

Here’s a couple of my Andy C/Ram faves.

Ram Trilogy – Human Future

Adam F – Circles (Andy C Remix)

I’ve been naughty. I’ve been listening to the same mixes over and over and haven’t been as tuned into Bassdrive so I actually am not too up on the new ish. I’ll be better I promise. 🙂

In the meantime I’m loving this Saburuko.

Saburuko – Titanium/Love Is The Devil

Technicolour – Le Corbusier (I love the other track Half A Chance as well. I had mentioned it before but didn’t have a sample at the time. Just an awesome release all round.)

Toodloo for now

Atlantic Connection – 2008 Studio Mix

Just Like I Like It

KikiLeave a comment

I’ve been listening to techno for the past couple of days. They have that As You Like It mix of Claude Young’s from back in the day on the Internet Rave Archive and I pretty much lost my mind. I was so into that mix. I remember it was quite a sad day for me when my tape player ate the tape. For all you old skoolers you should definitely check out the site. There are soooo many good mixes on there from our rave tape pack days.

Right now I’m listening to an Optical mix that I gave Dan to add to the site. Socom is on. That was another one of my faves for a really really long time. It came out during my obsession with Optical phase. That phase lasted a ridiculously long time. LOL. I couldn’t help it. Ed Rush and Optical had a really long run going at that time and I loved every track. I’m gonna have to dig out Socom when I get home.

Speaking of Ed Rush and Optical, I saw there’s another remix of Pacman… Meh. Nothing to write home about. It’s not even remotely close to being as awesome as the Ram Trilogy Remix or the original.

Talk about bloody miserable day huh? Rainy, cloudy. All I’ve wanted to do all day is lie on my couch and watch telly and I’ll be doing exactly that tonight.
