So I recently purchased the re-release of Reggie's first album. Right before that I had finally decided to burn a cd of all of my favorite Reggie songs. Unfortunately, the songs are all short songs, and barely filled up 3/4ths of the cd.
Well, listening to this cd was fine -- it had all the good elements, and sounded great, but i found myself skipping songs a lot. Not that I didn't like em, but it didn't put me in that mood that Promotional Copy or Under the Tray did.
Listening to the actual album, which has 10 second random stuff spliced between the songs gives a feeling of floating. The random flows right into the opening of the song and I see myself turning it up and jamming. Call it a rad moment.
Actually, another Bozastic moment occurred to me last week, but until I can transfer the necessary picture to display what I saw during that moment, I'll leave it up to your imagination. Remember the first one was relating to the realization of a Reggie song. I'll link the old post later, but I think it's in my old Livejournal.
Also, I had been enjoying Blender so much. The multitude of reviews and the well-laid out page made it much easier for me to read as opposed to Rolling Stone or Vibe. Through it, I discovered this British rapper known as The Streets.
Imagine watching Snatch or Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, but hearing rap. It's like Robbie Williams, after a couple bottles of vodka. It's interesting, and I'll leave it at that for now. I find myself humming the beats and the saying the words in my head, and I have yet to say if I like it or not.
The coolest part is that it's not about like bling-bling, makin the money, gettin the women or the drugs, but about life. The newest release "A Grand Don't Come for Free" starts off talkin about how he's got a bunch of errands, and they all end up messin up. Blender says he's got a narrative flair and great voice for it. Other reviews I've seen give it thumbs up all the way. If you're interested in hearing some, let me know.
After the Alicia/Beyonce/Missy concert, I signed up for mailing lists of the bands I want to see. I wasn't hopeful -- YC had just passed through irvine, FOB had gone through SoCal a couple months ago, and Reggie isn't even touring. But I was surprised to see two SoCal shows for FOB, and I'm excited as hell. Kate and I are going to the show in Anaheim, and its only 12 bucks a piece. That's the kinda show I can get into.
Romes talks about a making a dance cd, somethin to get him bumpin and jammin and in that mode of dancing. I thought about making a similar cd about the kind of rock tunes that do that. I started making a list, but some songs come off as a strong opening, but weak the rest of the way. So far, I'm putting Reptilia in the mix. Any more suggestions?
Well here's the rest of my day in my head:
now - 12:20 lunch/relax
1-2 class
2-3 get paycheck, deposit, buy FOB tickets
3-430 programming at home
5-6 class
6-630 programming at ICS
630-730 posters for FUSION
730-? programming (due at 11pm)
wish me luck.
PS -- What's my build? Round or Teddy Bear? =)
