Classified : That ain't classy

0 thoughts

Bringing you the very talented, yet grotesquely underrated, Canadian rapper and producer, Classified (Luke Boyd) with 'That ain't Classy'.  This track here is a simple remainder for us all that we should always remain truthful to ourselves; that we should always stand behind what we belief in;  and most importantly, that we should never change who we are as individuals for the sake of someone else's joy.
Let's stay classy.

These lyrics sum it up nicely.
I'm adamant I won't become extravagant cause you're my managementAnd the guys i travel with they havin' itI'm just an average man who happen to have a plan

ad·a·mant/ˈadəmənt/ 

adj
1. unshakable in purpose, determination, or opinion; unyielding

Flying Squirrel vs Human Dolphin

0 thoughts
I love adventure! I love the outdoors! I can be extreme at times, yet I wonder why in the world I decided on becoming an Architect where almost every waking second is spent behind a computer screen. Yes, it's a noble profession, one that is admired by many, but it lacks the adrenaline inducing excitement that these two gentlemen below get to experience on a regular basis. 




In the first video, you the worlds craziest man! He certainly is crazy. Who in their right mind flies through trees at such speeds?? Granted he does have a pretty sweet carbon fiber helmet but I'm sure it would do absolutely nothing if he were to hit a tree going +100mph.  I am envious just watching it though. One day I would love to do something like that... (check out how close he gets at 1:46)

The guy in the second video is not as crazy but definitely still has an amazing job.  For only about 6k you can fly through the water like a dolphin! I'm sure that's every water lovers dream. It certainly is a very interesting contraption but is it me or does it not smoke a lot? Not sure how healthy that is for the wearer of the apparatus or for the marine life in general. 

Which one would you guys/gals rather be or try - A Flying squirrel or a Human Dolphin that zips through the water?

I've hit a wall, taller than I’ve ever hit before. It happens every so often, a moment where I realize I’ve reached the end of my current plateau. This plateau is a metaphor, representing a composite platform of my current skills, abilities, methods, approaches, beliefs, philosophies, ideals, and accomplishments. Engaging this wall is always disorienting. It seems like there’s virtually no way to begin scaling this surface. It is void of articulation, seemingly infinite in width & height, and white with a sheen just glossy enough to recognize my own blurred reflection...

Released in 1993, almost 20 years ago, Aphex Twin's "On" exemplifies a tectonic ambient styling which has become very popular in recent techno genres including house, rave, drum & bass, jungle, and more...

From Wikipedia // Richard David James (born 18 August 1971), best known under the pseudonym Aphex Twin, is an electronic musician and composer described as "the most inventive and influential figure in contemporary electronic music".[1] He founded the record label Rephlex Records in 1991 with Grant Wilson-Claridge.

This song always makes me think of the season’s turning. The vibe is very conclusive yet forth-looking; a consistently reoccurring theme in our lives, which reminds us to stop and smell the flowers, but to always keep pushing forward. The further you push, the more pleasurable those flowers become. No good has ever come without hard work and determination. I suggest taking a moment to stop what you are doing, to take a deep breath, and think for a moment about where you are, how you’ve gotten here, where you want to be, and what it will take to get there.

Four Tet adds a mechanically vivid quality to the already ambient-machine vibe of John Hopkins "Vessel"

Swamp Funk (Remix) - Ibunshi & Indidjinous

0 thoughts
This composition demonstrates a very modular style of drumming, where mini-rhythms and phrases are used in new combinations throughout the arrangement to produce a deceptively progressive rhythm. In actuality this piece might consist of only 5 short yet intricate rhythms.

I am a big fan of la roux, not her original stuff but the remixes produced from it. I have found that people love to dub out and mash up her music. I really like 'in for the kill'. There are a couple of good remixes out there, this one is pretty heavy though. It took a couple times hearing it to really like it. This is some serious robot music, it is kind of like a robot orgy in your ear. So play it loud! Enjoy and have a good weekend.

Dark Speed

I'm streaming along, speed is irrelevant, millions of floating fragments assemble into a roadway only moments before my wheels rip across its surface, almost simultaneously the traveled surface fragments and drops away. There's a horizon line. I'm riding towards it in hope that someday that horizon line will fragment and drop away the same way my  traveled road has. Spaceless, Timeless, I will still be gesturing my way across the multiverse.

Solillaquists of Sound

1 thoughts
When it comes to music,I go thru genre phases like it is my job. This week I have been listening quite a bit to Solillaquists of Sound. Their music makes you think.  Unfortunately, one of the reasons why this group has not achieved the success they deserve is because mindless music is what sells nowadays(i.e. kesha, lil wayne, soulja boy etc.) Below is a better description of what their music is all about:
"Fusing brutally honest messages with a multi-dimensional sound, As If We Existed -- built with irrepressible positivity, chest-filling spirit, and body-throbbing rhythm -- is a public service announcement with spit. Launched with "The Pledge of Resonance," a poetic musing that links personal action, sound, and truth, S.O.S. focuses in on specific issues. 
A thinking person's brand of the genre -- imagine Digable Planets or The Fugees with greater dynamics and a bigger chip on their shoulders -- Sol.iLLaquists of Sound look to change the world one listener at a time. Leaving music lovers well-grooved, duly enlightened and -- quite possibly -- inspired, The Sol.iLLaquists are a family based on likeness of mind and because of it are, in many ways, more functional than any unit based on bloodline alone."



More songs after the break.
