Frustration Aggression is one of the most effective ways at managing a population. By directing a persons rage against selected minorities or outside "enemies", the true cause of an individuals frustration can effectively be diverted. What kind of glorious noise is this? Fingerbanger 1 : Zomblaze - Breathe Deep (feat. RK) (don lowed) -- We are told “no,” we’re unimportant, we’re peripheral. “Get a degree, get a job, get a this, get a that.” And then you’re a player, you don’t want to even [...]

Perhaps one of the most well known criminally slept on albums, Blowout Comb has only somewhat risen out of the shadow of Reachin' in the more recent past. The cooler sounds and addition of live instrumentation made it an overall more sophisticated work than their more upbeat and successful debut... the message was however lost on the general masses, while the hip hop community hardly acknowledged it due to the previous commercial success. Throwback : Digable Planets - Black Ego (don lowed) Throwback : Grant Green - Luanna's Theme (don [...]
Maybe someone has a good argument that proves me wrong, but I tend to have a problem when a new song liberally borrow recognizable parts from an old song IN THE SAME GENRE without credit. Putting different drums behind a liberal sample from a well establish artist's song doesn't mean you get to call it an entirely new song of your own creation. Does it? Dryhump Champion : Mr. G - Black Breds (Original Mix) (don lowed) -- I think I'd have an easier time tracking down the drug smuggling [...]

I might have to quit 'The News' for a while...again. It becomes overwhelming having to dissect agendized narratives, half truths, and outright lies packaged as facts and information just to end up feeling mentally and emotionally defeated on a daily basis. But I refuse to just pick a side because it's easy. Unless that side is burning it all down and starting over . "Of course it’s exhausting, having to reason all the time in a universe which wasn’t meant to be reasonable." — Kurt Vonnegut Fingerbanger 1 : Luna [...]

Lest you didn't know, the Classixx Hanging Gardens album is your go-to summer/fall/winter/spring safe zone, as gardens should be. Don't hate with love, buy it.

Giselle Rosselli - Crave You (don lowed) -- Dryhump Champion : Imaani Brown - The Waters In My Eyes (Original Mix) (don lowed) --

We're nothing but good ol'dais music and things that may or may not have been directly influenced by Malcolm McLaren. I'd say yea. Fingerbanger Bukakke : Leftfield - Not Forgotten (Hard Hands Mix) (don lowed) -- This song has been about 50% of everything I've been listening to for the past week. The other 50% is my inner voice telling me to stop staring at asses in yoga pants. Fingerbanger Bukakke : Blunted Dummies - House For All (Original Mix) (don lowed) [...]

Domino, and Heiro to a point, had a lock on the no worries sound. Moments of nostalgia of time before pubic hair and before I had a care. Throwback : Pep Love & Jay Biz - Sailing (don lowed) -- Throwback : Casual - We Got It Like That (don lowed) -- Throwback : Souls Of Mischief - Make Your Mind Up (Rock On Mix) (don lowed)
Best song name. Dryhump Champion : Man Like Me & Jona Lewie - You'll Always Find Me In The Kitchen At Parties (Eats Everything Dub) (don lowed) -- I hear some shared Avalanche samples up in this shit. Dryhump Champion : TJR - Booty Move (3011 Remake) (don lowed) --

I've said it before but I think it bears repeating that the fact that we're so unaccustomed to and unable to cope with aggression, intolerance, and seemingly random violence, can be attributed to the overwhelming comfort that we regularly live in. It reminds me of the opening to the David Foster Wallace speech to Kenyon College in 2005 which goes: There are these two young fish swimming along and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says "Morning, boys. How's the water?" And the two young fish swim on [...]

Throwback : Mr. Scruff - Get A Move On (don lowed) -- Throwback : Moondog - Lament 1, "Birds Lament" (don lowed) -- It wasn't that Carpal Tunnel Syndrome was bad, it just wasn't complete. And when you have maybe $25 bucks to your name, and you give $15 of it away on a (well packaged) CD... best believe you try to convince yourself it was somehow worth it. I certainly wasn't ebaying a copy of scratchcratchratchatch for a hideous amount of money. But eventually I [...]

Fingerbanger 1 : Amp Live - D.H.E.A. (Instrumental) (don lowed) -- "God runs electromagnetics by wave theory on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and the Devil runs them by quantum theory on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday." - Sir William Bragg Fingerbanger 2 : Tortoise - Taut And Tame (Luke Vibert Remix) (don lowed) -- Fingerbanger 3 : Colman Brothers - The Chief (don lowed) -- You likely missed the criminally slept on Ghetto Pop Life [...]

Some DJ shit that makes me happy. The Z-Trip joint and I had some good times in a rusted out Volkswagen.
