To keep a long story short, my spring break as a whole was pretty decent. Regardless of Toro y Moi CANCELING their Houston show, and my inability to attend SWSW, I was still able to see a number of other groups play, pass the time with family and friends, and finally get that phone upgrade I've been waiting on [long over due]. It seems like the time passed by so quickly and now, unfortunately, I have to get back to real life. I have two test to study for for Wednesday, and I don't even want to think about those essays. I guess I can officially welcome myself back to the daily grind. I'm a bit tired to go into the details, so: The Niceguys x Blu x J Davey. I feel like an ass because there where a gang of other artist who showed up and played that good music, but I unfortunately can't recall their names or where to find them. My apologies. May I now live in memories.
Fro Update: I can't quite recall if I mentioned it, but I decided to grow my hair out sometime in December. I'm not looking to do anything in particular to it, besides being awesome, so I'm just going to let it grow and let it be for now. Swag.
Also, I've decided to transform my old-semi-brand-new tracks shoes into actual day sneakers. I came home and decided that I was going to use them as strictly running shoes but then I came to the conclusion that I can actually stunt in these. We'll see how it goes.
Okay last thing. My mother says that I never give her any face time on my blog so now, mom, call all your girlfriends 'cause you are now officially swaged out/internet famous. I think Lil B needs to christen her as THE based goddess [she's not going to have a clue what I'm talking about].
I'm done now, hope you enjoyed the music, and the afro, and the sneakers, and the mother. Now go get back to real life. I'm pretty sure we all have some work we need to be doing.
Spring break has finally started and honesty, I NEEDED IT. I've been quite uninspired and fed up lately so hopefully this week off can provide me with the much needed revamping that is required to keep my mind and I up and running. In a perfect world I'd be driving over to Austin for SXSW with a pocket full a money and a couple dimes to keep me company, but unfortunately, I am not. Those ticket prices are INSANE, and I have a feeling it'll be quite some time before I'll ever be able to afford that 600 dollar price tag. There is however an adequate alternative. It's seems as if a number of the bands/rappers that I'm into'll be stopping in Houston a few days before the festival, so thankfully I won't be missing out too much. Tomorrow night is Toro y Moi and as you know, if you've been reading lately, I am definitely a ride or die fan. Speaking of, I think I need to go listen to the album a few more times so I can have all the lyrics memorized [I keeps it real around here]. SWAG SWAG IMAGE DUMP.
Japan. I know this really seems like an after thought but....may God bless us all. Be safe and be easy guys.
I tend to shy away from using Friday's as "post days" but I feel as though I've been neglecting lately so please allow me to try and make up for it. A while back, you may recall my previous post on Toro y Moi, professing my sudden love and infatuation with everything he and chillwave. Oddly enough, it wasn't/isn't just a passing moment, I'm actually really into his music. Today's REMIX REMIX may actually be quite familiar those who downloaded and enjoyed my Valentine's day, From Laser with Love mixtape. I really do dig both versions of the song, and since he's released both and an album and a music video since we've last spoken of him, I figured I'd do all of us a solid and bring him up at least one more time in one of our conversations.
Now I've already given the album a nice and easy run through, but for me that doesn't constitute as a full listen so I can't speak too much about it. What I can say is that this album most definitely expresses a different side of musical production quite unlike what was seen on Causers of This. He seems to breaking away from that "chillwave" label that he's often attributed to and well, quite frankly I don't seem to mind that much. From what I was paying attention to, I love it, and if anybody'll be in Houston on the 14th, please don't hesitate to join me for a dance at the show, YOUR BOY WILL DEFINITELY BE GETTING IT IN.
Abogado Remix I like that good music just as much as you do. Have any suggestions? Well stop being stingy, share with me....I NEED IT.
