Some serious sunshine music today from the mighty Sofrito crew (DJs Hugo Mendez and Frankie Francis alongside The Mighty Crime Minister), London's finest purveyors of all things tropical. If you don't know, school up here: "Sofrito has consistently combined the serious vinyl hunter's ear for amazing records with the know-how to throw a great party, rocking dance floors worldwide since their inception in 2005 with a mixture of vintage tropical grooves and exclusive dubplate edits. "From their legendary Tropical Warehouse events in East London to the clubs [...]
Auteur des chansons " Ugly Woman ", "Netty Netty" et "Mary Ann", Raoring Lion est considéré comme l'un des plus grands calypsoniens de tous les temps. Toujours tiré à quatre épingles, Lion était célèbre pour la poignée de sa canne en forme de tête de lion et son panama qui ne le quittaient jamais. Avec son acolyte Attila The Hun , il était reconnu comme un précurseur. Expérimentant de nombreux styles il participa largement à l'évolution du calypso en introduisant notamment le calypso drama , sorte de petite histoire [...]
Good times tonight watching KT play softball and then eating at Canter's for the first time (not including matzoh ball soup take-out). It was good! That's about all I have to say about today. Part of it was good. I haven't posted one of these in a while, so here are the best Google search results of the day which have directed Internet users to Swan Fungus during the last hour: 10. Sinbad re-married his ex-wife 09. Reasons to go for it and date 08. Coolness burger king sex 07. I realize what is my [...]
I hope this week is better than last week. For fuck's sake, could something possibly go right, for a change? Anything? Anyone? Bah. No one's listening. What's more, I thought today was the 21st, and had a mix tape prepared to mark the occasion, but later found out that's not until next week. Good God, man. I need some fucking relaxation. RULES for uninitiated noobs : With roughly 100MB of webspace, I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be deposited on your iPods or Zunes or Kingklangs or whatever the industry is currently pushing [...]
I'm in the middle of a very heated Wii Sports Tennis tournament, waiting to learn the identity of my opponent. My Mii, named Ev. Ev., will be battling either Eat Me Out or Baby Eat for the...uh...championship. Of something. I haven't lost a single game in my two preliminary matches, so I'm pretty sure I'm the favorite to win. I think the current Vegas line on Ev. Ev. vs. Baby Eat is -220, and the line on Ev. Ev. vs. Eat Me Out is -150. After this paragraph, I'll tell you who won... I bet Baby Eat 3-1. [...]
This guy embodies how I feel all the time... If any of you actually pay attention to my self-centered ramblings, you might remember my 105/1001 list, which I post at the beginning of 2008. I'm challenging myself to reach at least 105 goals in 1,001 days. One of the goals I set for myself was to go an entire week without spending a penny. I even considered pitching the idea to some magazines. In times of economic uncertainty, people love to reading about ways to go an entire week without spending a single penny. [...]

I'm exhausted. The nights are getting later and the days ahead are filled with arduous tasks that will demand my full attention. There's no sense in sharing all the gory details. It's quite inconsequential, really. You're just hear for the music anyway. RULES for the uninitiated noobs : With 100MB of webspace, I give birth to a weekly compilation for your iPods or Zunes or Kingklangs or whatever the industry is currently pushing on you. Sometimes there will be themes that link all the songs together, other times I'll just throw songs at a wall (not [...]
