Happy Happy Joy Joy

I’m having a great day today.  It’s just nice to wake up in a good mood and have it continue hours and hours into the rest of the day.

Some new faves….

Lenzman – Bright Lights (track is in the player)

Saburuko & Brother – In Control (track is in the player)

Naibu – Fireflies (track is in the player)

Redeyes & Random Movement feat. MuttGroove Thing (track is in the Redeyes player) Nice collabo going on there.  Three of my favourite artists.  This is coming out on Future RetroBCee has a really good thing going with both Future Retro and Spearhead, I love a lot of the tracks that come out on both of them.

People are always asking me why I love liquid funk so fucking much.  LOL.  I’ve said this on numerous occasions but I’ll say it again…  I basically want pretend that I’m hanging out in a beautiful garden with multicoloured pastel drinks with umbrellas in them while lying in a hammock with sunglasses and pretty flower aroma blowing in the breeze and the sun shining through the trees but not on me as I don’t want it to be too hot.  Liquid funk pretty much helps me to create that pretend scenario,  Noisa on the other hand usually does not.  🙂

I’m halfway into this Zetek podcast mix and I already love it.  I will full on admit that I had no idea who he was until today but I’m definitely digging him now.

Queen of the Dairy

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.

SaburukoTitanium/Love Is The Devil

TechnicolourLe 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

Dillinjaaaaaaaa

The last of my friends left today. 😦 It’s easy to get used to having your friends around. It just becomes normal having them be part of your everyday activities.

Erin mixes house and wanted to go to Gramaphone yesterday. We totally got trapped in the storm over there. It was crazy. While she shopped, I perused the dnb section and came across a copy of Dillinja’sFluid/Hard Noize on Test Recordings. Who sold that?? Are you crazy? It was obviously someone who decide they totally hate dnb now cuz no dnb loving person would part with that record. LOL. I own it and mine is so scratched up from overuse yet I refused to part with it. I gladly paid my $4.99 for this lovely gem and went on my merry way. What a great gem to come across! That record is sick. I remember when that record came out it was such the buzz. “Did you get your Test 2?” “Have you heard Test 2?” “Test 2 is wicked!” and so forth. It’s really all about Fluid. That’s what was causing all the ruckus. The way that track sounded on a loud sound system just drove the ravers wild. I was very happy with my lucky find. Now I can get rid of my scratched up copy since it wasn’t playable anyways.

Saburuko has some top notch stuff. I have been loving everything I’ve been hearing.

SaburukoA Darker Side / Solstice

I’m feeling a tiny bit better but still a bit under the weather. I think I just have to have a good lie down and just kinda enjoy my time to myself. My roomate is going to Sweden tomorrow so that will be the perfect opportunity to kick back.

Yowza

Yowza is such a nerdy word. I love it though. It’s been pretty muggy and hot these past couple of days. Could summer really be sticking around intsead of retreating back to murky, cold, rainy, 65 degree days?? I hope so.

Loving this SaburukoStay. Hot stuff.

Also loving this Electrosoul SystemAfter Hours.

We have so many cases up at my work lately. I’m finding that I don’t have the time to fuck around on the internet that I used to. Go figure… I actually have to do work!
