Via Summer Seasonal Week
This may get annoying but... WE HAVING A PARTY. Sorry folks, we need a good turnout to pay rent this month, and Via Summer Seasonal sounds slightly more fun than Via Verizon Bill Fundraiser. Anyway, tell your friends and your friends' moms' moms and their moms' moms' moneys to come on out. Friendly no frills dance party plus Captain P's Gumbo Funk EP finally gets a proper release. Charlie put in his hours for this projecto, and it's been chilling for a minute... we're super proud of the dood, and hope you guys smell what he's cooking. As for the new mix we'll be giving out at the party, Mr. Ixley just polished off the recording a few hours ago, and it's shaping up to be quite solid. Straightforward bumping hip-hop, efficient blends, precision scratching... definitely that yellow half emerging. The expected consistency from ixley; kids won't be disappointed.
Aight, back to regularly scheduled linkage:
I'm Lovin' It ...honestly, I sorta just laughed off the straight cornball commercials, especially the ones marketed towards the "urban neo-soul" set (btw...can anyone get me lyrics to some of those songs? I swear on my Arch Deluxe that one of em rhymed McFlurry, no joke), and I even managed to not put my head through a wall when I found the I Am Asian site, but ayoooooo. Plastic decks and trucks don't help anybody.
Japanese commuter warriors read this. How bout the only rule for the NY version is DON'T LET THE HANDICAPPED SEAT SWING UP AND MAKE THAT SMACKING SOUND WHEN YOU LEAVE THE TRAIN. That shiz shaves 5 years off my life every time...
Some visual stimuli:
Aya Kato you are fresh (via Beautiful/Decay).
Polite Winter be a dialogue between James Jean and Kenichi Hoshine and it is uh... really really cool.
