Friday!
Heyyyyyy people,
Another long week that’s bound to transition into another stupendous weekend. Oh, the anticipation!
I love Fridays. Things feel a bit more loose. Everyone’s buzzing. Seratonin production is on the up. Music just feels gooood.
Friday’s are kind of like a road trip mix tape. How do you compliment the mood? You bring the Hot Shit.
Here’s a little slice.

Hip-Hop Word Count →
Pretty amazing, this site will take a hip hop song and, using a complicated series of algorithms, will work out how smart you need to be to fully understand it.
Jay-Z - Dead Presidents 2: 16/20, University Degree (does HOV-A even have a degree?)
Kanye - Big Brother: 9/20, some high school.
Pretty rad little bit of musical theory shiz…
Good old Pickin'
I know they don’t represent a completely traditional bluegrass band, but i gotto give props to Yonder Mountain String Band. They’re a hard working, talented, and progressive band that, in my opinion, has opened up bluegrass music to a whole new crowd of people.

Bringing something new to the (Bloc) Party

To this day, this is a ground breaking album for me. Banquet, the first single, is kinda epic and holds its own even now, but my favourite track is Like Eating Glass. The frenetic pace, the overdrumming, the...

TRILLION WATT LIGHT BULBS
Since this is a free for all and everybody’s trying to go in - I’m next.
Lots has happened since we collectively last posted. Shit, Gary Coleman died (RIP). But over in my microcosm of rap and hip hop - there’s this youngster named Drake. He’s never even put out an album. A classic mixtape, yes (even my friends who won’t listen to an artist once he’s done...
Keepin it real...weird
Holler! Day 2 back in action and i’m keepin it weird. Not too much of a write up here, as im not familiar with the band at all. I downloaded their album a few days ago and this was the first track i listened to. Its pretty cool and doesn’t seem too strange and abstract at all. At least, compared to mainstream pop these days, it seems pretty on par. I really liked it when i...
Three cheers for Frey! Bringin’ the blog...
Time Time Time...
to bring back this fucking blog. Honestly, i missed it. A couple changes to be made here. No more themes to the blog…just posting whatever, whenever. If you hear something you like, remember a track that you couldn’t stop replaying, or just found something new, POST IT! We all want to hear it. There’s nothing better than music, and sharing new and old music is a way to...
