Hey Bayan,
I've been avoiding writing a blog entry as I want that phenomenal picture of Paul Wall to be at the top of the the site for as long as possible. Maybe we should replace the boom box image with that photo. The image just makes me believe.
I hope you've been following the arrest of the Greatest Musician of Our Time-Lil Wayne. I'm in the middle of watching his farewell address right now. It's an hour long, a bit of a commitment (things are a bit hazy on his end), but well worth it. He really focuses on the important stuff--though of course in true Lil Wayne fashion his sentencing was postposed due to a chipped tooth. For further information I'd recommend Lil Wayne's Mysterious Tooth Ailment: A Dentist Weighs In--informative, to say the least.
To celebrate the career of the man who inspired so much in the name of coedine, I'm including 'Money to Blow' the new song by Birdman featuring Drake and Weezy himself. Best part of the song? The line about Captain Hook and Ruffio (Ruffio, Ruffio, RU-FI-OHHHHH!) If you don't know exactly what part of the movie I'm quoting, I'm quitting the blog.
In other music commentary, you're doing really well with the remixes/hip hop. I've been having trouble finding good stuff from that genre so the Hood Internet is currently making my day. And you're so right about Girl Talk, listening to his stuff is always a bit unsatisfying because he cuts between songs and beats so quickly, I like that White Panda sticks with a few themes.
Besides the Lil Wayne soundtrack I'm including 'Trashcan' a sweet song by Delta Spirit and 'Who Says' from Jon Mayer's new album. It's a good song, I think he deserves more credit for it, and I hear you have a girlfriend going to see him live next week.
Both 'Trashcan' and 'Who Says' are songs that beg you to jump in a car and drive and contemplate life, pretty much my favorite activity of all time (ask the aforementioned girlfriend about the time I forced her to drive to Boston with me at 1 AM?)
Have fun at the roller derby this Saturday!
With much-jealousy-because-it's-my-dream-in-life-to-be -snowed -in,
