It's Coming Down, It's Coming Down

So it's sleeting in Paris. After a yesterday of cold but sunny weather, it just seems right to have a day of complete miserable weather. Added on top of that is the fact that I just ate way too much at a restaurant called Breakfast In America and I feel like getting sick thanks to the encompassing smell of paint thinner that has crept into my room from the guy working a floor down redoing the walls. I think i'm getting high and sick from smelling that shit. Horrible. I put a few scarves around the hallway door to block the smell from coming in but it's still lingering even after i opened the window for a few minutes. I woke up in such a good mood too...

I may have already posted a hundred times about Thrice, but I feel like I need to again... Air has become a daily listen. If you have a college email, you can get Ruckus (which is a completely free music player) and download all the 4 elements. Here's the link for Ruckus which I would highly recommend checking out (unless you have a mac that doesn't have the windows switch as it requires windows to work). Just sign up and it's free. And while you're at it get the
Alchemy Index 1 & 2 (Fire and Water)
Alchemy Index 3 & 4 (Air and Earth)
since that was really the whole point of this post anyway.
I would recommend listening to at least each element all the way through with the lyrics if you can't make it through all 4 in one go (which is pretty epic; i did it a while ago)

Here's Come All You Weary (off Earth) live. I like the recorded one better but it's still pretty good.

ps. the reason for the season has some news for you: here we go, hold on tight and don't let go, I won't ever let you fall...

La Ville De Merde.

Today I went to a skatepark way the hell out in Magny-les-Hameaux to check it out. I left here at 1 and didn't get there until 3:00 probably. I had to take the Rer B to the end of the line at Saint-Rémy-les-Chevreuse. So far. I then proceeded to walk for 45 minutes to an hour up a massive hill and through 3 small towns to get to it. Of course when I got there it was completely wet from the constant sprinkle that started at 3. Awesome. It would have been a cool park but it's so far and it was raining so it ended up being the epidomy of an epic and mostly pointless adventure. I stayed at the park until about 3:45 or 4 and then made my way back down to the metro. However, because it was way up on a hill, I bombed the route that I had taken to get up there. The cars behind me weren't too happy cause I was probably only going 30 mph but let me tell you, that was the most insane hill I've ever been down. I don't get speed wobbles, but I got speed wobbles...

I had the opportunity to listen to about 6 hours of music though and that fact alone made the trip more interesting and nearly worth it. So since I stumbled across (by way of putting the IPod on shuffle) a song again today I would like to post it in dedication to my homie RP. I know this christmas is probably going to be tough. I'm thinking of you.

Saeglopur (In Da Club Edit) - Sigur Ros

Bonus: because this one is beautiful too...

Merry Holidays

I have spend the last two nights enjoying myself. It's a good thing to do. Last night I went to an exclusive party for the economics students at dauphine. Don't really know how I got invited; I think it involved someone bailing out at the last minute and me buying their ticket on tuesday in class. Anyway, it was mediocre since I only knew one person...but it was a learning experience for sure. I'm really glad I went. Right after (when everyone else was leaving to go home) I set out to go to Queen which is a nightclub on the Champs. I went with two good friends and their other friend that was a dude. Kinda expensive at 20 euros entry fee but it was well worth it. Good DJs that played good sets (with the exception of some weird rock thrown in there). Left at about 3:30. Tonight I went to a christmas party at my friend lynn's place out in nanterre. It was fun and since it was a white elephant party (which didn't involve joke gifts), I ended up with a carnivourous plant. Awesome! (really)

Anyway, it's been pretty fun. I realized that I'm antisexual at least for the time which is cool. (And it's not asexuality, halie) I'm not neccesarily against all forms of sexuality, I just don't think that I'm good with it for now maybe forever (and the whole not thinking anything good comes from it is pretty pertinent). But I am attracted to this song:

We Might As Well Be Strangers (DJ Shadow Remix) - Keane
(right click that one to download cause i borrowed the link from another blog)

P.S. I realized that noone is really waiting on the mix so i'll have it done in whatever time i feel like. Happy Holidays!

That's a french-ass name!

Because this song is tight I thought I'd post it.

Candy Drop - Lil Yung
Normal
Slabbed

He has the most atypical rap name ever. Not a great song but it is a fly beat and it is krunk.

Istanbul was nuts. If you want to see some photos I put up a few on facebook. Check those out.

And because I know alot of you like good hiphop rather than simply krunk hiphop I want to post a song that I put up a while ago as just a youtube vid.

Tennessee - Arrested Development

this is old but if you don't understand the title than click on this youtube link.

Beautiful Night

It's the most beautiful night i've yet experienced in Paris. Not a cloud, no wind, moon so bright you have an intense shadow, and plenty of shining stars. Incredible.
Because I hadn't heard this song in a while...
Beautiful Night - Burden Brothers

And because I just watched Dave Chapelle's Block Party...
Hip Hop - Dead Prez
And because I want to be different...
Bigger Than Hip Hop (Ghetto House Refix) - Flufftronix

I'm going to Dinde and i'm excited...

ps. You should actually check out the fluffy myspace. He's got some good stuff on there.

Snow

I'm so pumped to go to the Dauphine ski-trip in february. I miss just zoning in, getting buck with tight ass music, and flying down schoolmarm bouncing off everything possible. I was talking about it today so it was on my mind... i seriously doubt that i'll meet many chillers, especially coming from prep-ass business-ass dauphine, but damn i don't care. i just want to front board a rail, shifty a big jump, and back 180 while air-shooting gapers that i just cruised by. I sit, I watch, I wait.

But for this weekend...Istanbul (not constantinople) (I already put this RJD2 song up so if you dl everything, you got it already). Should be sick.

I know what order all the 35 songs in the mix are going in. First steps done √

A Common oldie but goodie greatie
Be (Intro)
Be Album Amazon

Are you Interested?

I don't No.

So i went to this party last night... Bangin'! and because i brought over a bottle of vodka i felt inclined to drink it. So i did that, and a marlboro red in combination with the russian drink (the theme of the party) was a lot of hot suck (i was going to provide an image link but i realized that google imaging that wasn't a good idea). So i sat down and 30 minutes and a few cups of water later i was good. Thanks to my man jeremy who helped it out and then got the most hammered drunk i've ever seen anyone...swear to god that man was on cloud 10.

Anyway, so i was just sitting around chilling with some homies on the chill room floor and across the room (which wasn't that big) one of the party thrower's friends gets my attention, "Ted." "Hey what's up?" then the weirdest series of questions and expressions i think i've ever been involved with gets asked from the dude sitting next to her. "Hey are you interested?"
"What?"
"Are you interested in her (talking about girl one)?"
"I don't know what you mean."
"Are you interested in [name] right now?"
"Uh...I don't know her that well."
"Yes but are you interested?"
"insert confused look then a hefty ignore"
So that was weird but what made it so much more strange was that [name] was sitting there with the most intense look on her face. So this dude that is asking the question is just trying to get me to answer him strait up and then [name] and another dude are just sitting there like this is the next inquisition. Blank stares. The dude asking the question was asking in english...so was something lost in the translation??? So if [name] ever gets hold of this post (which she probably won't) i'm interested in having some coffee and getting to know if i'm interested. But for real... why you letting some dude pimp you out...?(to put it harshly). whether in jest or not, wtf. or did i miss something?

anyway i guess my point is that if you're trying to get with me, don't. if you're trying to get with me and you're stunningly beautiful (as per last night), you're going to scare the hell outa me if you make that face; again, don't.

Don't Do It

We might have a late entry into the mix... lol this thing is never going to get done.
Vibe to this. South African DJ Mujava is blowing up. Rags to riches. You will enjoy.
Township Funk Original
Township Funk (Radioclit Remix) (the only thing I don't like about this mix is the garbage that starts at 1:40)

Last of the Playlist

So I completed step one of making the STWMTGBIAC mix... It took pretty long to just organize the songs and figure out the correct bpm. Now that that's done though I can get to work. I'll set a deadline for myself of Tuesday the 23rd. So look out for it then or maybe even before that.

I'll put the rest of the songs in the 20 song playlist on here so you can get those if you want.

Skippin
Back That Azz Up
Rodeo
1976
Into The Nightlife

I'll probably use closer to 30 or so songs for the mix but that finished off the original 20 I had.

I got this from my friend Ohh Crap's blog today... It's pretty cool
This Love (Cut Copy Galactic Beach House Mix) - Maroon 5
