Operation Employment Kiki

Kiki1 Comment

Hmmm. I’ve definitely been quite easy going about my employment. I do apply for jobs everyday but I’ve also sort of been working for my friend and I had a severance package so I wasn’t that desperate. The work for my friend is dwindling now and my severance package has pretty much run out. I have to get my ass in gear. Fortunately I’m still not depressed. I am a person that believes everything happens for a reason. The only reason I’m writing about it today is because my mum suggested maybe coming home… gasp. And I’m actually thinking about it… gasp squared. I wouldn’t give up my flat or anything. I would just be making some money in Madison until I got myself back on my feet. My unemployment money covers my rent so that would be taken care of. I said I’m thinking about it. I’m still not really sold. I dislike Madison immensely. I find it stifling and boring as fuck. I’m just babbling about it cuz my mum brought it up this morning. We’ll see.

I need to buy some new tunes. LOL. I know I don’t have any money but there’s a whole new wave of dnb that I would like to add to my collection so I need to hussle a little more and get some spending money. I’m usually pretty content with my selection. I hadn’t really heard any tracks that I thought I would die if I didn’t own so I was ok with being poor and not being able to afford new stuff. The mixes I have been listening to lately have definitely changed my mind though so I guess we’ll have to add “Operation New Tunes” to my list too.

I’ve got 2 back to back trips lined up in the next 2 weeks and I’m super excited about them.  The first one, I’m going to California with my mum for my cousin’s graduation.  My aunt lives in Oxnard but I’m going early and stopping in L.A. to go kick it with some buddies for a bit and then go meet up with the fam.  Friends and family?  You know that’s my great combo.  The following week is my best friend’s wedding reception in Minneapolis.  Talk about extended wedding right?  His wife keeps joking that everyone is going to be so sick of their nuptials by the time the reception rolls around.  I’m just glad I get to go hang out with my besties again.  So basically June is looking pretty awesome and lets face it, any time you don’t have to work for an extended period of time but are still getting paid is pretty dope.

I’m really not feeling well.  I’m not really one to medicate every ailment but yesterday I was not in the mood to feel like crap so I took some.  It made me feel shitty all day and I went home straight after work and went to bed.  Today we are at round 2 and I still feel horrid but will have to grin and bear it cuz I refuse to take medicine. 😦  Whine, whine, whine.  Bah, you have to get a good whinge in every once in a while right?

Today’s Oldie:

Man!  This was one of my absolute fave ragga jungle tracks.  I don’t own it but I wish I did.  This was the ultimate jungle rock from side to side shuffle tune. 😉

Friday = Fabulosity

KikiLeave a comment

I’m having a pretty great morning so that makes it even more exciting that it’s friday.  It’s stopped being freezing and it’s kinda warm outside, which is also lovely… You know you’re a Midwesterner when you think its warm when it’s still only 30 degrees.

Tunes:
S.P.Y – Sunship (track is in player)
I can’t figure out if I like this tune cuz it’s good or cuz it has that feel of A.I.’s Movin On, which happens to be one of my favourite tunes.  Whatever, I like it regardless.  🙂

Today’s Oldie:
Ed Rush & Optical – Bacteria – Virus Recordings 1999
Tune!  I’ve been working out to a lot of classic tunes lately.  This is one that I was so about.  So good.  Dancefloor stormer, wonderful bassline, unique sound.  Loves it.  Early Virus stuff is killer.

Toodloo ’08

KikiLeave a comment

So I made my top 25 of 2008. I feel like it’s a bit nonsense to do this because a) I cheated and just did it from May onwards cuz that’s when I started my blog and have detailed documentation of all the tracks I liked and b) I obsess over tracks so much there’s no way I like a track that I heard in May as much as I do one I like today cuz of the whole “playing on repeat constantly” factor. So this dodgy mash up top 25 will just have to do. 😉

I was going to try and pick a favourite for the number one spot but that is just utterly impossible for me. So here they are in no particular order whatsoever. Some I couldn’t track down mp3s for because they haven’t been released yet or whatever so I apologise for the lack of samples.

Top 25

01. Calibre – Alone In A Crowd

02. Blame – Stay Forever

03. Q Project – Tears – Marky & Bungle Remix

04. Dan Marshall – Words Can’t Explain (no sample)

05. Dan Marshall – Same ‘Ol (no sample)

06. Specific – Tell Me

07. Chase & Status – Take Me Away

08. Break – Enigma – Calibre Remix

09. Atlantic Connection & Lynx – Danger Zone – Submorphics Remix (track is in AC player)

10. Survival & Chris Inperspective – The Right Way

11. Chris Inperspective – Biffy’s Not Here

12. Naibu – Here & Now (track is in player)

13. Tyler Straub – Easy Does It

14. Spherique – Falling Leaves (track is in player)

15. Calibre – U Could Dance

16. Lenzman & Redeyes – Thieves In The Night (track is in Redeyes player)

17. MJ Cole – Sincere Bootleg

18. Sinistarr – Detroit Diesel (track is in player)

19. M25 – I Want Impressions (track is in player)

20. Random Movement – Used Illusions (no sample)

21. SpectraSoul – Dark Hour

22. Stunna & Tyler Straub – Weak (no sample)

23. Carl Matthes & Bionic 1 – Let It Go (track is in Carl Matthes player)

24. B-complex – Beautiful Lies

25. S.P.Y. – Seeing Through Shadows

I hope everyone has a good New Year’s Eve. I’m just having people over my place and chillaxing. I don’t like dealing with the NYE crowd. I’m noticing that I really am slowly slipping into senior citizen status as a majority of the time I would much prefer to stay at my house and have people visit me than go out. LOL. I guess I’m just getting ready for when I get put in a nursing home.

Work Work Work

How is it that I’ve been so busy?

Had a really good weekend.

Lots more work to do so I better hurry up and get to the post, right?

Loving that Ant TC1 and Survival mix I posted on friday. Awesome tracks.

Also loving the new Redeyes EP.

Redeyes Presents: The Night Is Over EP (Cruise Ship To The Stars and Sugar with Mutt are my faves)

S.P.Y. – Seeing Through The Shadows (I really like this one. It totally has this eerie gritty feel to it.)

Atlantic Connection – Peace of Mind (I’m so late on this tune but I’d actually never heard it before until this weekend and I love it. I’m mad that I slept on it though. I’ll have to try and get a copy)

Komatic – Beijing (It totally has that Autumn (V Recordings) feel to it. Very Pretty. Track is in the player)

Today’s Oldie: Dj Die – Autumn (Commix Remix 2004 Liquid V) I remember when I got that Planet V album. 1999 was a good year for dnb I tell ya. This album was sooooooo good. So many awesome tracks. I really liked the feel of Dj Die’s original but I remember I wasn’t really that in to the bassline. I thought it was ok but didn’t think it was up to the calibre of the essence of the track as a whole. I would just play the intro and then mix out once the bassline kicked. 5 years later, enter Commix… I love remixes that still use the same elements of the original and just enhance it by filling in blanks etc. Commix did such an awesome job with this remix. Really great track all round, both original and remix.
