THROW YA W's UP

my god.

new nasty track from raekwon (ft. method man and ghostface killah) that I've been bumpin'
most likely from Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II coming May 27th.

timeless RZA production on this ish, as always smoov as butta.
Read up recently on some interview that his mindset on producing has changed, and that he's not just a "dj producer" so to speak digging up tracks and sampling, but producing as a artist; applying theory and rhythm sharpening his production game like a warrior sharpening his sword. his new production really shows on this track.

lonelyboy / sights&sounds

mm, v-day treats, first off amazing music video up top by dirty vegas. involves some seamless storytelling with a heartbreaking story. for awhile I thought the song was dope, but didn't know the music video was this sick, with pop-locking and breakin'?! "...but he couldn't stop" all I can say is facemeltingly awesome.

this year i'm goin' lonelyboy (minus the serena vanderwoodson). sucks a bit but things could be worse. work at puma on saturday, that should be a blast. 14th of febuarys are agonizing, seeing someone or not. to cope I'm feelin' up for buying half a dozen roses and give them out to any girl I see without, just because. one thing I don't get is giving material gifts on valentines, from jewelry to sneakers.
spending time together? sure. flowers? why not. chocolate? if it's syrup. sure. but gifts push the envelope for me.

a couple tracks i'm diggin' and definitely valentine-able;

Hey Champ - Cold Dust Girl
from chi-town and scooped up by 1st and 15th label(lupe fiasco)

Hey Champ - Cold Dust Girl (80kidz remix)
same song, picked up and flipped by 80kidz of japan.

Little Dragon - No Love
little band you might've heard of called little dragon from the mythical land of sweden. super soulful lead vocals by half japanese half swedish Yukimi Nagano. hot.

Kings Of Convenience - [x EROT] Gold For The Price Of Silver
indie band from norway. everything in this track is jams so nicely.

Bel Biv Devoe - Poison
that girl is poiiiiisssooon.

Kraak & Smaak - Squeeze Me
kraak and smaak, house act from holland, cute. and break-a-ble.

happy saint valentines day, much love to you and yours.

ps. this is what I get for sleeping on nas' N****. can't believe i'm only hearing this now.

shaw tower

*yawwwwn* its really early and this is day two of work experience at shaw tv in downtown. the two shows they shoot are studio4 with fanny kiefer and urban rush with Michael Eckford and Fiona Forbes, both on channel 4. after going to cap and now shaw in the wee hours of the morning i've learnt to really hate morning commute. also i've learned to wake up in complete darkness.

all that aside its not a bad gig, lots of breaks, 'lax production, all the coffee in the word. situated in downtown, right beside gastown and canada place on the nicer end of cordova its not a bad place. apparently on 41st floor(second highest) exists one of vancouver's most expensive condo at an est. 16 million dollars, (a milli a milli a milli a milli a milli a milli a milli a milli a milli a milli a milli a milli a milli a milli a milli a milli).
