I used to really love McDonald’s annual patty’s shamrock shakes but last year I had a really gross one and it ruined it for me.

Happy St. Patty’s day.  I wrote this yesterday so I could just publish the draft from my phone and not have to boot up my geriatric laptop.

I’m feeling super festive.  I love the holiday season cuz everyone’s down to hang out and I love holiday parties.

My weekend was really fun.  Got some Christmas shopping done, Rusko at Smart Bar was the ultra party and Bisl’s housewarming party was a blast too.

This week/weekend is busy too.  Mixing at Smart Bar on thursday for Shakedown (will do a seperate post on that), 2 holiday parties, 1 kiddie bday party and a holiday brunch.  At least it will get me out of my apartment.  That’s my only worry these days.  LOL.  Will it get me out of my apartment?  Yes??  Be there in 5. 😉

Shakedown Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

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)

Donnie Dubson – Super Marimba

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.

Rubbish Kiki

Kiki2 Comments

Coming in at 6:30 yesterday definitely ruined my day.  I was so tired by the end of the night that I didn’t even stay for Amaning’s set at Shakedown… Therefore I am indeed rubbish.  I did go to Twisted Spoke with Juju, Bisl and Christina T before hand though and that was nice.  You know I like to sit around and kick it all day erryday.

This week has gone by mighty fast.  I think I spent so much time focusing on it not being as fun as my weekend was that the days just flew by.  Awesome.

Tunes:
SKC – Rush

Today’s Oldie:
CLS & Wax – Quite Perfect – Hospital Records 2005
Hwilde suggested that I should have categories for how old my oldies are.  I declined.  My criteria for oldies is that it basically can’t be made this year.  2008 is still too new to and 2007 is pushing it.  If I put a 2007 it’s cuz I’m stumped for the day. 😉

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.

Tunes:
Jazz Thieves – Midnight Hour (Submorphics Remix)
I’ve liked this one for a while.  The promo just came out so I figured I’d give it a plug. 🙂

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!

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.

Submorphics is trekking across the pond  for the next six months so we’re having a little Chitown dnb posse going away dinner at the hot spot Wing Hoe.  I’m excited cuz I’m totally in a Wing Hoe mood and will definitely indulge in a signature scorpion drink.  Yum.

Lots of dnb goodness today in the Chi.  Sinistarr and Submorphics will be joining Stunna in the Greenroom for his Bassdrive show which will definitely be dope and the new dnb monthly Shakedown starts at Lava today so if you’re around you should tune in and stop by.
