Allo, guvnuhs


I have returned



Hey readers, sorry for the like six month absence. I've been pretty busy adjusting to the rigors of college life/ making music/ listening to other people's music/ battling Intergalactic demons named K'trl Kuku Puffs that spit this kind of lava-ish acid that ruins vintage tees. But for whatever it's worth, here's what would be an apology to you cleverly masked in sarcasm and feigned apathy. Like, whatever, dudes.

So here's what's been up, y'all:
1. I've really gotten into hip-hop. Fallen for it, actually. If you'll notice, hip hop utilizes similies, metaphors, enjambment, parataxis, and all of the other literary devices common with real deal poetry. So it seems kind of like a natural progression for someone like me to get into tha rap game. Plus, I love the idea of a beat - something that has to be simple enough to only change once or twice, but paradoxically interesting enough to hold the listener's attention and compliment the rapper's flow. And then there's the vibe factor (that thing that every good rap beat makes my head do, a sort of chin surfing on the rhythm) So look for more hip-hop stuff on the blog. Or don't, I haven't decided yet.

2. I love Balearic Disco/Pop! I think it's the most laid back, chill form of music known to man. When I listen to this style of music, I'm instantly transported to the Virgin Islands where Daiquiris are free from 10 - 2. I recommend them and them and them


You are actually required to dress like this if you want to make Balearic Pop.

3. Sonic Youth are gonna release a new album soon! They're calling it 'The Eternal', possibly inspired by the length of SY's career Hyuk Hyuk Hyuk.
