Welcome back Kiki, Here’s Some Crap Weather For You

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.

Did you guys listen to the RM Podcast 18?  Good tunes on there.  I ran to it this morning. 🙂

Insomnia & Kiki

Insomnia is back.  I’m not surprised.  I’m pretty stressed these days so of course I can’t sleep. *shrugs*

Tunes:
Utah Jazz – Quincy (track is in player)
Going to hip hop shows has ruined the novelty of hearing The Pharcyde’s Passin Me By as it is usually a classic mixing track in people’s sets but I actually like this sampling in the Utah Jazz track.  It’s pretty.

Au Revoir 2009

I’m making an executive decision and doing my end of year top tracks today.  I’m going to Philly today and then I’m not taking my laptop with me to NY tomorrow so that really leaves me no time to write.

Here is my repeat of end of year disclaimers…

My list is always going to be kinda bogus.  LOL.  The tunes I blogged about towards the end of the year are still fresh in my mind and therefore get more attention than the ones I blogged about back in the beginning of the year cuz I’m not sick of hearing them yet.  The list is in no particular order.  I have been told that I have strange taste in some dnb track so my list means absolutely nothing.  It’s just a compilation of songs that I personally liked over 2009.  We also must take into account that the latter half of the year I wasn’t as diligent about writing tracks down due to the loss of my job so I’m not as up on new tunes as I used to be.  This list is just of tracks that I would have been happy to keep on my ipod for the past 365 days.

End of disclaimer. 😉

I mulled over my list for ages.  I started out with 70 tracks and could only cut it down to 30 this year.  LOL.  I really tried to narrow it to at least 20 but I really like all the tracks on the list, so 30 it is.  Eek.  This will be a long post. 🙂

Sabrina & Kiki

Watching Sabrina with Joia.  She loves this show.  I’m taking her to school this morning so we’re embarking on our morning ritual.  I don’t even think I loved the show as much as she loves it when I was younger.  She likes the talking cat.

I had an extremely productive day yesterday.  It felt good.  I will keep this up.

Galivanting Kiki

It’s strange to have nowhere to be in the morning.  I was hanging out with Reisha the other day and on numerous occasions kept thinking that I should probably go home and then finally remembered that I could probably just not go home if I wanted and it would be fine.

CC is here until wednesday.  We’ve been busy partying.  I’ll get to the resume blasting, pavement traipsing once she’s goes.  I’m not even going to try and pretend that I can be serious about my plight with guests and fun to be had.

Tunes:
Dbridge – Reversible Top (track is in player)
Loving this!

I’m extremely persnickety when it comes to remixes.  I love the classics so much.  If you don’t think you can do just as good of a job, don’t touch it… please.  We were just talking about how awesome this remix is in the Bassdrive chatroom the other day.  Love it.  So so good.

Productive Kiki

I’m on a roll people. It’s only 8:37 and I’ve already gotten a lot of shit done. That might have something to do with the fact that I’ve been up since 4:45 a.m. but still it feels good. I stayed late at work yesterday to get my work done so now I get to leave early and that has definitely put a magnificent start to my day. Yay. I’m also just really excited at the thought of not having to work for the next four days.

If you’re in Chicago tonight definitely stop by Lava! It’s gonna be a fun Seminar with Stunna, Submorphics, Radiata & Timid. D&B and Dubstep and all my friends? You don’t have to ask me twice. Black wednesday is definitely one of my favourite nights out in Chicago.

Tunes:

Utah Jazz – Leap of Faith (track is in the player)

Hobzee & Zyon Base – 1000 Paper Cranes (track is in both players)

Pooped

I belong to this blog for this research marketing group.  Basically there’s a group of us that they ask questions to once a week and we get paid for our opinions.  I haven’t answered the questions in like  forever so I figured it was time to get to it.  I’ve been writing for what seems like eternally too long since my answers are always super detailed and now I can’t be bothered to write anything interesting in here.  Boo.  Alas there’s always tomorrow.

I’m digging this Utah Jazz on Liquid V.  Great stuff.

Mesmerize/ Riddim Track
