What is it that makes life fun? That's suppose to be rhetorical. So try to remember. The impossible happens all the time. This week could go either way. Whatever that means to you, but it sounds open ended enough to convey that nothin' is for sure nothin' is for certain nothin' lasts forever... [...]Sin all depends on what you believing in Faith is what you make it that's the hardest shit since MC Ren Alien can blend right on in wit' yo' kin look again 'cause I swear I spot [...]
It is COLD!!! outside… well at least it is here in Wisconsin. Don't believe me? Then go ahead and ask Raashan Ahmad of the Crown City Rockers, who I finally met up with last Sunday in -35 degrees (wind chill) conditions. Headnodic is Fam, so Raashan is Fam, getting to chat, talk music and friends, and jump on stage with him was a long time coming. I've been a long time fan of Raashan and you'll be seeing and hearing more from that whole family on djnodj for sure. Mad talent, great cat and deserves all the love and support [...]
But with the good comes the flip side of good... the pressure to continue to be good. Some of yall may actually read what i write, and you may have gathered that I'm at times a philosophical if not introspective kid... in some obvious, and sometimes obscure ways. No matter really, I know that often times I ponder on topics that seem obvious, or middle school. And for all those that have everything figured out... cool. But for me, changing how I see things is how I change what I see. How profound huh... or not so much. [...]
It seems we do a lot of things that we don't really want to do... trying to get a little bit of what we do want. That's how it seems at least. Too safe? Too jaded? Are past events going to control all future decisions? Bollocks to that. I'm saying goodbye to the shittiest week of my year. Peace out. Time to have fun... This song is dedicated to the sky. Where you can reach up and rip it open leaving a tear in the lining of the universe, where normalcy ceases and anything, and everything is happening. [...]
A week later, I may still be suffering from post partum turkey depression. Thursday at Nana's house, turkey, ham, mashed, stuffing, bun, green beans, corn, cream cheese stuffed dates wrapped in bacon, Old Style and pumpkin pie…Whooof. Brooklyn born Dana Dane best known for his humor and fashion rhymes got his start way back with Slick Rick in the Kangol Crew. Slick Rick's English accent real, Dane's not so much. He actually put out an album that went Gold in 1987, led by "Cinderfella Dana Dane" but I remember him from the tracks "Nightmares" & "Delancey Street" from [...]
Right... I'm watching the last season of Californication (a guilty pleasure) and David Doucovny's character has just managed to take a girl he met at the bookstore home for some natural recreation, and whilst she is riding him she cocks back one arm and stone cold steve austin's him right in the face giving him a black eye... and damn that shit is hot. OK, so that hit is nothing like Buffetlibre's new mix called 'Hit'. Well, actually, it kinda is... let me break this down. 1. Both were well done and have pretty decent timing. 2. [...]
I think that inside of each and every one of us, is the hope and desire that in our lifetime we will make an impact on something that we care about. That drives us to search for meaning, our meaning, of life. So that our purpose as we define it, our legacy, even if small, is something that we are proud to be recognized for. The man who will use his skill and constructive imagination to see how much he can give for a dollar, instead of how little he can give for a [...]
It happens all over the map and landscape of music, but it has always seemed extremely more prevalent in Hip-Hop…maybe because that's what I listen to. The dreaded "Sophomore Slump". I find myself scratching my head thinking… What in the hell just happened? I find myself scratching my chin thinking… Holy crap! What are they doing? Are they serious?!? I remember a big one for me back in the day… Special Ed. I mean come on 1989, "Youngest In Charge" is for real! So solid!! Classic. 1990 Ed releases "Legal". [...]
You know when your little and you get the idea that you should take your bike off a jump for the first time, so you take all morning to build what you think is a sweet jump, but in actuality is a bunch of scrap wood ramped up to a cinder block. And then you get your mom to come watch you take your first leap into the abyssal sky like the love child of Evil Knievel and Christian Hosoi. So your barreling down on this magical jump and in your head your going to fly a mile, maybe clear [...]
Yeah, I got Itunes. No I don't have an Ipod, hopefully this Christmas Santa can overlook the whole being naughty thing. Who is he to judge anyway? Just kidding Santa if you're reading this… Anyway, as I browse and dig into the CD piles that seem to magically appear out of nowhere, like… well like jolly old Santa Claus on Christmas day, yeah! With presents, hell maybe even an electric device of some sorts that plays music, maybe it rhymes with "Fry Cod" * Wink-Wink * Maybe I'll wait until my tax returns, either way I'm getting one, ya stingy [...]
I remembers the first time I heard Greyboy . Yep, back to Sexual Chocolate. That video was hot full of esoteric secret handshake knowledge that I'll reference for the rest of my life. Cuts straight made the credits the best part of the video (I love watching credits b/c thats when they throw in all the odd footage, its like the inside joke part of videos). I ran straight to my mom and had her drive me to the nickle spot to buy Greybreaks (vol 1) , Dub Breakbeats (1.0) , and greyboy allstars ( [...]
Thank lord baby Jesus that all this political and election drama is done, or is it? What in the hell is cable TV going do? I'll tell you what they're going to do. They're going to chop, slice, dissect, analyze, and speculate on everything, really EVERYTHING that has happened, may happen or will never happen, but will fill up TV time. Do you care about what kind of puppy Obama is getting for the White House, I don't. This thing got out of control and for good reason. The nation wanted it and when there are impromptu parties in front [...]
In the words of The PromoHo Fuzzy Cogitator, "Free things are the only reason I come to this place, or any place for that matter. Both young and old folks know I'm right when I say, paying for things is for the middle aged." So here is some free stuff courtesy of the Buffetlibre guys. 1 st January is the release date of Rewind Part 2, the 70's, 80's & 90's cover project by Buffetlibre Dj's ( http://www.buffetlibredjs.net ) and will be available for free download in mp3 format.

...and the only thing we care about, is not caring The godfather of Rocksteady, the precursor to Reggae maker of the "Mad Mad" riddim, first recorded by Ellis in 1967 would later be recycled in more than one hundred other songs. The instantly recognizable three-note descending horn line was reinterpreted by Henry "Junjo" Lawes and eventually became known widely as the "Diseases" reggae riddim ( DJNODJ post 28 ). "Diseases" is notably utilized in Yellowman's hit song ""Zungguzungguguzungguzeng", which has in turn has been sampled and reinterpreted by a long list of popular hip hop artists including KRS [...]
I took last week off due to some technical difficulties, namely the fact that the person I was stealing my wireless internet connection from apparently moved… the nerve. Was she not aware of the ramifications of this? Was she aware that my outlet to all of you depended on me stealing from her? She couldn't have, if she did, she probably wouldn't have moved is what I think. I love the interview style of song writing, the earliest I remember it was from Easy-E. The song was slept on because of all the other more high profile tracks [...]

We want trick and we want treats The Foals and Holy Fuck put out one of them vinyl frisbee things where they each cover a song of the others and such and such. This is Holy Fuck's cover of the Foals song called Baloons, no offense to the Foals, but Holy Fuck trickrtreats this song better (IMO). Plus, I like typing Holy Fuck. Holy Fuck Myspace . Fingerbanger 1: Holy Fuck - Baloons (Foals Cover) (download) -- Sometimes I friv out for a while, [...]
Q: What's wrong with the world? A: We are buried beneath the weight of information, which is being confused with knowledge; quantity is being confused with abundance and wealth with happiness. Leona Helmsley's dog made 12 million last year… and Dean McLaine, a farmer in Ohio made $30,000. It's just a gigantic version of the madness that grows in every one of our brains. We are monkeys with money and guns. - from Tom Waits interviews himself. Read it all here. If you took one of the biggest party anthems from [...]
Yesterday morning I had to scrape frost of my car windows…WHAT? Sara Palin doesn't really understand what the Vice President even does…WHAT? The Tampa Bay Rays are in the World Series…WHAT? The stock market…WHAT? Disco is dead…WHAT? Not if you took part in the TUNAWAX 70's disco extravaganza last Saturday!!! Pink: Diana Ross - My Old Piano (download) A certain German I know (but will remain nameless) doesn't eat sour kraut…WHAT? That is what we like to call a "Bad German". Wisconsin football is 0-4 in Big Ten Conference play…WHAT? [...]
