Huh?

So, do I always sound like Minnie Mouse and people just don’t tell me? My hearing has been fucked up for the past couple of days and one thing I’ve noticed is that my voice is kinda high. I mightCookie Monster have to start bringing some bass into my voice, cookie monster style. It’s funny how often you take your hearing for granted. My hearing is slightly off right now and I haven’t really been able to hear things properly and I can’t seem to stop talking about it cuz it’s quite disturbing that everything doesn’t sound perfect.

I’m sorta excited to play today. I don’t only hang out with dnb people, so it’s nice to have an event that I can invite all my peeps to. It’ll be fun. I think my only gripe is I wish I had more new records. I hear so much new shit and I have a very greedy “gimme” attitude about it. I want all the stuff I hear but since I am not a millionaire and don’t mix out enough anymore to justify spending money on it, my collection at hand will have to do.

I was listening to that Format mix yesterday and there’s this awesome Zero T & Icicle track on there. Why don’t I have it?? When is it coming out?? Is it out already?? Do I need to keep using all these question marks????????? These questions need to be answered because I love the tune! πŸ˜‰ We already know how I feel about Zero T, and Icicle is equally as awesome. I really am into a lot of his stuff. One of my faves is definitely Strange Fruit.

I’m trying to get my shit sorted today. I just wanna get my work done and go home.Β  It’s way too nice out already to be sitting inside an office. I will wholeheartedly admit that I didn’t search too hard for a mix today.Β  I don’t know who D Zine is but his mix will serve the purpose of keeping me company at work. πŸ™‚

Calling All Patients…

I absolutely promise that today is the last day I write about being sick. I’m even sick of writing about it so Im sure you’re sick of hearing about it. I know I’m feeling better but I’m really not well. I justTonsilitis don’t feel like I’m dying anymore which is a definite step up. My throat is still really swollen though and I’ve got a really horrible headache. I haven’t eaten any real food for like seven days. I’ve been surviving on a soup and Jamba Juice diet because my taste buds are shot and my throat is too swollen for me to actually swallow anything. I like soup and Jamba Juice as much as the next person but for seven days in a row it’s not really that appetizing. I’ve finally decided that if I’m not fully better by thursday I’ll go to the doctor. It’s hard for me to consider actually going to the doctor because I never get sick and it’s not something I do that frequently. Usually I just wait for whatever I’ve got to go away on it’s own and it usually does but this, whatever it is, is staying put. I’m also pretty sure that my throat looks like the pic to the right, which is not cute. Sorry for the gross pic but we’re family now and I think you too should share in my misery. πŸ˜‰

Moving on, I went to the bike shop with CC yesterday. I’ve been trying to figure out what would be the best bike for me. I’m not trying to become a professional bike messenger type person. I just wanna ride my bike to work and around my neighbourhood. I’m willing to spend some money on it so I don’t necessarily think I should have to buy a bike from Target. I also have steep stairs so the bike has to be light enough that I can carry it without dying. I’ve decided to get a used one and fix it up. CC’s completely obsessed with her bike and she spent quite a pretty penny on it so she kinda knows what she’s doing and has been giving me some pointers. She also practically lives at the bike shop so at least I know the people won’t be a dick to me. We discussed all my needs and what I would have to get done and it seems like it’s all gonna go pretty well so I’m excited for next week’s prospects.

I guess I should make an official post about tomorrow. If you live in the Chi Town area, I’m playing at Lava. Random Movement is the Headliner. I’ll be playing from 10 til Midnight. I think it’s a pretty fun night but I’m biased because that’s where all my friends are. If you like dnb it’s definitely good local fun. Come hang out.

Seminar Flier

I heard this new Chase & Status tune the other day that I’m kinda digging Take Me Away. It’s weird how Chase & Status is so hit and miss for me. I really like the first tune and then you listen to the other one and I’m like ugh. There’s also a pretty cool Zero T remix of Leave Me Alone.

Anyways. That’s enough yapping for now.

It’s Jazzy

I totally didn’t know Zero T had an album coming out. That’s definitely something to look forward to. I haven’t finished listening to that Bailey mix but I liked what I heard so far. Something I didn’t like on the mix though was that Nu:Tone “It’s Jazzy” remix. It’s the fifth track in. Eek. I like Nu:Tone but that track is very sacred to me. It was one of the first records I ever bought and one of the first ones I learned to match beats with and I just don’t think that remix does it justice. 😦 On a nicer note though I really do like Balaclava. That’s a sweet track.

I saw that Ill Logic & Raf have a new track coming on Double Zero Recordings. Be Free/Smash Daddy. I think I missed the promo round but hopefully will pick up the full release. I miss Ill Logic & Raf. I was a big fan of the Syracuse EP.Β  I’m glad they’ve got some new stuff coming out.

Found this Dan Marshall mix. I’m not as crazy about that “Crazy” track as everyone else is but I do like some of his other stuff.

Pretty chill day today, just working diligently and listening to music. Depressed about the weather going back to 55 degrees but I’m not gonna harp about it. Sometimes there is such thing as too much complaining. πŸ˜‰

Windex Used To Be My Best Friend…

I’ve been really enjoying these days off. I have the apartment to myself as my roomate is out of town and I’m actually just loving the alone time.

My place reached a point where even after you straighten up it still seems dirty so I’ve been doing a thorough cleaning. I went to the supermarket and got really into buying all these great supplies. I used to just use windex to clean everything in my apartment when I was like 19. Now I’m super into the results of new cleaning supplies. Mildew remover, lysol bathroom cleaner, clorox disinfectant wipes, vanish, the list is endless but the end result is a shiny, happy clean place. It’s so clean I almost don’t want to touch anything. Hee hee.

The best part about cleaning was that I got to listen to mix after mix after mix. I think I’m all caught up now. Side note, that Marcus Intalex mix is a great mix to clean your place to!! So is that Sabre Pyro mix. There’s a Survival tune on the Sabre mix that I’m really digging but Sabre doesn’t say the name of it so I guess I’ll just have to hope I hear it again some time soon.

I was cleaning for so long I started running out of mixes that I wanted listen to so I started go back looking for old gems that I had downloaded but never listened to. I found the Bcee Spearhead podcast from March and it’s lovely. It has some bits from Redeyes’ upcoming album. I was quite in love with his track “I Live” on Creative Source. There’s also some stuff from the Moodswings LP on there. I really do like Spearhead Records. They have some really good releases.

I also saw that Zero T was on Bailey’s show on 1xtra, so I’ll definitely be checking that one out.

Hopefully it’s nice and sunny wherever you are and you can enjoy the holiday.
