It’s so weird when it rains in LA. I mean I know there are songs about it never raining in Southern California, but still. 😂
It’s been ages. I write numerous drafts and never post them. Soz.
The key is to just post and not faff about trying to curate the perfect post! So here I am, posting.
Working and listening to Integral Records’ Seventeen. Love this one from the Phils.
I’ve lived in LA for 7 years and it’s only this year I started hanging out with LA dnb people. Totally nothing wrong with that. It’s just funny to me that it took me this long.
I belonged to 2 wonderful dnb scenes that I am deeply fond of. My djing/raving years in Minneapolis and Chicago are such a treasure to me and the people that I befriended during that time are my nearest and dearest. I’m 47, don’t really go out that much anymore apart from the odd show here and there, and I am content with the friends that already exist in my life. I mix at home and have a 24 hour dnb playist in my headphones, so it’s really not all that surprising that I hadn’t made any new dnb friends, but… 7 years is a long time. 😂
Anyway, I’m enjoying the switch up. I’m used to living a solo LA dnb life and it’s nice to have some new people to share this 30 year obsession with.
Currently obsessed with this Emma G mix on TNQ’s Echobox Radio show. If you want to listen, it’s the last 30 minutes of this episode. Now we all know I never pass up a TNQ mix, but this one I’m posting solely for the Emma G guest mix. I’ve been listening to it on repeat for the past 4 days. Such a lovely mix with so many good tunes.😍
Enjoy.
Work is busy, but it’s good and I’m enjoying it.
Excited for summer activities… when summer finally makes it’s way here to LA that is. We survived May Gray, just gotta tolerate June Gloom, and we’ll be home free. Took a while to get used to this when I first moved here.
Click here if you are interested in the science behind it or care one iota about why your California friends are always complaining around this time of year. 😂
Headed to hot ass Arizona for my niece’s graduation this weekend. Also managed to get a pretty cheap plane ticket for Sun and Bass this year. The end of 2023 until about 2 months ago was pretty shit for me. I’m happy things seem to be on the up and up lately. 🥰
So loving this one this week. Big up Fox! I’ve had it on repeat at my desk for the past couple of days. 🧡
This heat is crazy guys. It’s been 100 degrees practically everyday here in LA for like a week. The heat is causing all these blackouts. On Tuesday my internet was out for 9 hours… 9 HOURS! I honestly didn’t know what to do with myself. LOL.
I read, cleaned my room, stared at the ceiling and talked on the phone like a teenager. After the internet came back on, the electricity went out for 4 hours. What a shit day.
Then the next day the electricity was out for 6 hours. smh.
Champagne problems I know, but a little whinge and a moan is ok once in a while when your trapped in your house during a pandemic and don’t want to be outside in 100 degree weather and can’t drive anywhere because your car is parked in a garage that has an electric gate. 😲😲😲
Going down a Visages rabbit hole as I mark these quizzes. I’m doing it early so I can get my grading out of the way and enjoy my Friday.
This is still a banger.
I’m back. LA was wicked. The weather wasn’t the greatest but it was still ten thousand times better than the 30 degrees and snowing we’ve got here right now. Boo.
George’s art show was amazing. I was so happy for him. He’s so talented. It was also great to see Mollie. I say it all the time, I have wonderful friends and I’m very grateful to have them in my life.
Stunna and Bachelors of Science killed it. I’m really glad I got to go to the show. Really good vibes. Fun times.
