It has the ability to consume you, all of you, and never let go until everything that you are is consumed by it. I'm in love with love and the things that it does to me. There's no filter, there's no wall, it's just there and it's smacking you in the face telling you to do exactly what you've always dreamed of doing. Everything that we truly are and everything that we ever will be is already inside of us, and it's our own logic and reasoning that keeps us away from our burrowed aspirations. You're supposed to write that play, you're supposed to kiss that girl, you were supposed to follow your heart, and the only thing keeping you away from your happiness is you. Love is what opens<span style="font-size: small;"> us. Love is what shows us that the<span style="font-size: small;">re's so much more to life than what<span style="font-size: small;">'s directly i<span style="font-size: small;">n front of us. The abstract, the min<span style="font-size: small;">iscule, the forgotten<span style="font-size: small;">. T<span style="font-size: small;">h<span style="font-size: small;">ese are the things that we really love. The way she laughs, <span style="font-size: small;">the <span style="font-size: small;">Songbird on the windowsill<span style="font-size: small;">, <span style="font-size: small;">the flowers that still seem to <span style="font-size: small;">grow despite every<span style="font-size: small;">thing that gets in its way. It's fascinatin<span style="font-size: small;">g. <span style="font-size: small;">Everything's just so beautiful and <span style="font-size: small;">f<span style="font-size: small;">as<span style="font-size: small;">cinating<span style="font-size: small;">.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span> <br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> All tangents aside, I really hope you enjoy this mixtape, that is the reason you're here after all.</span><br />

On this very day just one year before, I released my very first public mixtape, and so in honor of this sweet sweet holiday (and my day of birth), I've decided to compile an audio list of 14 of some of my favorite tracks that fit perfectly into this special occasion.</span><br />
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">As you may remember from <a href="http://justnorman.blogspot.com/2011/02/from-laser-with-love-mixtape.html">last year's</a> Valentine's Day, I was somewhat pessimistic about the day to come. Not only did I not have any plans considering it was my birthday (wait, have I told you that tomorrow's </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">my birthday?), but I also didn't have anyone to spend it with, so needless to say I was pretty bummed out. Luckily, things seem to of taken a turn for the better, and for the first time in who knows how long, I'll actually have someone. A real someone. And for this, I'm forever thankful.</span><br />
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I know we've only been dating for like three weeks, but she deserves a mixtape crafted in her honor, so shoutouts to <a href="http://viarachellllle.tumblr.com/">Rachelle</a> for being the lovely face for this playlist, and for being the trillest girl I know.</span><br />

</span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">On behalf of Justnorman.blogspot.com, and all of its affiliate tumblrs, twitterers, and inner city street teams, I'd like to personally welcome you to 2012 AD. *Cues Bone Thugs-N-Harmony 1st of tha Month*</span></span></span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: small;">In honor of this fresh start, I figured what better way to ring in the new year than with an album review? As you may have guessed at this point in your following, I prefer to only associate myself with the best of the best, especially when it comes to music. As a BIG fan of The Weeknd, I absolutely refuse to allow for another day to go by without reviewing at least one of his mixtapes. I mean, all he did was change my entire outlook on both life and R&B, no big deal. Since I couldn't do this one alone, I sought the assistance of two of my very few favorite bloggers, Trent (TrentTrizzy) and Havean (HolaHavito) so without further ado. . Legggo.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: small;">Ohh but wait a second. Before we begin, if you DON'T know who The Weekend is at this point, you should probably just quit at life, or just click <a href="http://soundcloud.com/theweekndxo">HERE</a> before you even begin reading. Things might make a little more sense if you've actually listened to the music of the man that we're referring to. Okay, let's try this again.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">--------------------------------</span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

</span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: small;">What a way to start the end of a mixtape trilogy. The Weeknd’s cover of Michael Jackson’s single, Dirty Diana, is better than the original. I said it; I am prepared for legions of people transfixed on the past to murder me and moonwalk away silently. I’m sacrificing my well-being in order to illustrate what The Weeknd is trying to prove by covering this song: He is here to stay and he’s damned talented.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;">Montreal</span></span> </span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: small;">Montreal is a mid tempo song in which The Weeknd “borrows” lyrics from the French song “Laisse Tomber Les Filles” by France Gall. The lyrics essentially translate to a player’s warning, “stop being a playboy, one day you’ll be the one played and you’ll be hurt.” That is the gist of the track, the narrator is heartbroken, but he’s too prideful and hurt to admit it. The tempo and the background vocals are sensual and evanescent, and are a throwback to early 90’s R&B. Picture The Weeknd in ’93 and the music video for Montreal; a brick filled loft filled with artificial smoke, a sexy girl swirling provocatively in white linen, The Weeknd singing and dancing with a clean high top fade.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

</span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: small;">Sex: The Weeknd’s second favorite topic after drugs, of any kind. Though the song is good, lyrically it’s missing the originality and tongue in cheek lyrics that accompanied songs like “Loft Music, The Zone, and The Knowing.” However, as usual the beat itself helps carry The Weeknd when he falls short lyrically from time to time. The bells and dissonant snare drums are hypnotic and trance like, and aid the storytelling of sex that is so good it puts one under a spell.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

<div id="mailContent"><div class="undoreset clearfix" id="message920799182" role="main" style="overflow: visible; visibility: visible;"><div id="yiv1668395830"><div class="yiv1668395830MsoNormal" style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-size: large;">XO/The Host </span></div><div class="yiv1668395830MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="yiv1668395830MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;">The same way that rappers like Young Jeezy, Pusha T, and Rick Ross find new ways to talk about the same white powdery substance, Able Tesfaye, better known by his stage name The Weeknd, continues to seduce our earbuds with tales of marijuana days and cocaine nights. “XO/The Host” is a beautifully narrated tragedy that tells the story of a young girl addicted to the party life. With lines like “specially when your nose red from that K/ Special Diet Coke/ You need more bread/ Now you got no rent/ You blow that money.” The Weeknd does what he’s best at; Painting pictures of tragic lifestyles that make you want to live them out, even if the outcome isn’t a good one. “The Host” serves as a prelude to “Initiation,” in which Able tells our damsel that she must pass a “test” to get his love. This was a good smooth interlude to get us ready for the craziness that’s ahead.</span></div><div class="yiv1668395830MsoNormal" style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="yiv1668395830MsoNormal" style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Initiation</span></div><div class="yiv1668395830MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="yiv1668395830MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"> This track is hands down the best song on the album in my opinion. Everything about this song, from the eerie instrumental that lurks over the slurred and sporadic pitch of the verses, to lyrics such as, “Roll that weed, blow the fire out/ Taste that lean when you kiss my mouth/ Get so wet when I eat you out” is what attracts people to The Weeknd’s music. He possesses the unique ability to croon the phrases and brash descriptions commonly found in rap music without the slightest hesitation. Women feel sexy singing it, and men still feel at home while listening to it. Win Win.</span></div><div class="yiv1668395830MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="yiv1668395830MsoNormal" style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Same Old Song </span></div><div class="yiv1668395830MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="yiv1668395830MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;">This song could’ve easily been titled “Shot for Me pt 2." Here we find Able reflecting with a woman about how she left him when he needed her most, and now that he’s big, she’s coming around again. We’ve heard this story again and a again, and as much as I appreciate the lyrics and the overall message of this song, the emphasized belting of the hook eventually gets to be a bit much for my ears. Not one of my favorites, but still a decent song.</span><br />

The track reveals itself to be extremely deep, dark, and ominous, which is a common theme for The Weeknd. When listened to on a pair of over-the-ear headphones, the song seems to give off a surround sound effect as if one were being whispered to by a swarm of meth heads at four in the morning. I thought it to be a pretty decent track, but to go along with what Havean has stated previously, it seems to fall short lyrical, but is carried along into the "ohh that's my jam" category due to the oustanding production.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />

</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Next is quite possibly one of my least favorite tracks of the mixtape. I've never been a big fan of the whole gloomy, orchestral piano ballad thing, and despite the fact it's The Weeknd who's singing these lyrics, I still don't think I'll ever be able to appreciate it fully. As usual with this guy, I continue to listen to the entire six minutes due to that wonderfully uncanny voice of his, even after I reach the conclusion that I'm almost completely annoyed by the whole idea of the production. In the end, it was a song that I could probably due without, but he needed nine tracks so. . well, I guess that's that.</span></span></div><div style="color: #990000; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />

</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">While I wasn't much of a fan of this track either (sorry for bringing down the vibe), it seems to tie in well with the overarching theme of the entire mixtape. Drugs, parties, and the potential for greatness seems to draw the attention of a variety of curious women. While our main protagonist attempts to tell them (or her) that he is offering nothing more than the superficial, they have no choice but to either oblige, or to end up alone, but due to the nature of the situation at hand, they choose both.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Overall I thought this to be was a fairly decent mixtape, and while it wasn't my favorite (House of Ballons for the win), I feel as if it was a nice way to wrap up a series of releases that has recently propelled him to the very top of underground stardom. While The Weeknd still has much more maturing to do before he's able to fully compet<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">e with the higher ends of the music world, there is no doubt in my mind that </span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="st" style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Abel Tesfaye is soon to be in the very forefront of both our minds, and the R&B game as a whole.</span></span></span><br />

I know it may not seem as such, but Norman and punk music have quite the history with one another. Way back when in my band geek days, I went through a fairly heavy ska-punk-psychobilly phase, which has consequently had a major effect upon the types of music that I listen to today. While I may not fancy listening to The Casualties or GBH as much as I used to, I still can't seem to escape from the thrills of a good show, reminding me of all those things I've been missing while I've been away at school.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The show kicked off around five or so featuring around eleven bands in total, but the ones in particular that more or less so caught my attention played much later on the set list, so on time was definitely not mandatory. Now I don't know if I've ever really mention them by name before, but Kelin and Garret, aka my white friends, aka white boy mob, were the two dudes that I went with, and just for future reference, if you ever hear me speaking about a show, these two guys are more than likely the individuals that I rode with. But they weren't the only ones who came with me, oh no, there were more. Not only did I get to see a few old band mates from high school, <a href="https://twitter.com/#%21/ViaRachellllle">Rachelle</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/#%21/theTRUESTstory">Raveen</a> took a few hours out of their "busy" schedule to come chill with your boy, and for that they deserve both the blue link and the mention (V TEVM SVLUTE).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> As usual with these types of functions, I had a trill ass time, despite the fact that Devin and I decided to part ways a few weeks back (slipped that in there real classy like didn't I?). I know it seems like we just got together, but I guess it just wasn't meant to be, so maybe it's best that we just leave it at that for today. On a lighter note, my afro and my mustache is lookin' mad thick these days, and I've even caught the attention of one of the baddest black hipster girls on campus, so hey, I'm doing all right. *proceeds to pop multiple collars* </span><br />

As if my readership wasn't already dwindling down to a halt due to my lack of posting, I'm sure a many of you have already given up on me, but if you're still here and you're actually reading this: thank you. I've been going through a lot lately and I know that that's not much of an excuse, but this is real life and sometimes we have to make sacrifices, and I guess the good ol' blogspot took the L on this one. I even let the tumblr start to fall a bit too, and once you start slackin' on tumblr, it's pretty much a downhill roller coaster from then on out.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Let us play catch up... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I know it might not necessariy seem like it to the outside world, but I'd have to say that the sacrifice was slightly necessary. These last few months I've been interning for an organization on campus know as The Exceptional Men of the Talented Tenth. The process has been going on since September or so, but to make a long story short, I, Norman Clark, am officially a member (TENTH TENTH, HOORAY). Out of the original 16 members who began the process, only 7 of us made it, and honestly, it was worth it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Everything's starting to look up for me which is a nice change of pace. The girl that I've been "talking" to for a little over a year and half finally came around and made it Facebook official with a young pimp. I know I've never really spoken about her, but I usually prefer to keep things under wraps, especially on the internet, but fuck it, we're legit now (her name's Devin by the way). Also, I have friends. YES, REAL LIFE COLLEGE FRIENDS. Ever since Emilio and Christiana left me hangin' Freshman year, I've been on the hunt for some youn<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">g souls to fill the spot that they left in my heart. Well guys, the wait is over and </span>Δ TEΔM (A TEAM) is in full effect. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Now, I don't mean to be such a buzz kill, but I was to some degree slightly lonely before all of this happened. The way is see it is that there's a very thin line between solo dolo and lonely, and I was harking on the latter. Things are just changing so quickly and I'm just hoping that nothing goes wrong, God willing.</span><br />

If it's any consolation I've been really busy as of late, so the only thing I can really hope for is that the <a href="http://justnorman.blogspot.com/2011/09/dreamtape.html">Dream(tape)</a> I created was dope enough to solidify your belief in me (so basically you're not going anywhere). </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">By now I'm sure that most of you know that I live and die for a Tommy Ton seasonal blog post, and this occasion is no different. It didn't take long for me to realize that I had neither the time nor the desire to keep up with every model, designer, and lookbook that cat-walked across my web browser, so as you can guess, street style started to become my main concern. There's just something about seeing how others wear their own clothes in real life that interest me. One can purchase every label and designer accessory in the world, but if you don't know how to wake up in the morning and put it all together without any help from your onslaught of stylist and fashion hipsters then what's your point in life? Naturality is key here, and I think that's why I've become slightly fascinated with it all. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">You might not exactly be able to tell considering as to how I rarely update my <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/justnorman/">FLICKR</a> page, but one of my favorite things to do is take pictures. I like to capture the moment, the intimacy, that smile when no one's looking, that glare as if you haven't got a care in the world... I love that. Posed photography is cool and all, but candid is where it's at. ALL DAY. ERR DAY.</span><br />

</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><span class="bodybold">-Sigmund Freud</span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: left;"><span class="bodybold">I sat there in astonishment not knowing exactly what I needed to do with myself. I was happy, I was depressed, I was indifferent... every emotion imaginable seemed to of hit me at the exact same time, and it was at this moment that I realized that it was a movie that was making me feel this way. Me, the original alpha male, sitting there alone on the verge of a legitimate breakdown, crying my metaphorical eyes out because of something I'm watching on the fifteen inch screen of my laptop? Yes bro, that just happened, and even though it stings the ego having to recount this story via symbols and keystrokes, I'd much rather it be told over the internet as opposed to someone watching me have an emotional collapse (as if I needed anymore of those).</span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: left;"><span class="bodybold"><br />
The movie in question was in fact a foreign film released not too long ago, conveniently entitled the Science of Sleep (I'll explain the significance in just a second). The feature recounts the story of a man who lives vicariously through his dream state while occasionally combining the realms of sleep and reality, even going as far as to mistake one for the other and vice versa. Eventually a female enters the picture and things seem to take a turn for the better... and then the worst, and then better, and then, well you get what I'm getting at. Things become complicated, and as he traversed between worlds I realized something with the soundtrack: it was perfect. Each song played was directly congruent to the lead characters' emotional state, allowing for the film to be seen as that much more real, that much more honest, that much more satisfying, and I found this to be beautiful.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: left;"><span class="bodybold"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: left;"><span class="bodybold">After I got done wiping away my tears (both literal and metaphorical), I decided to do a bit of research in order to determine whether or not music has the capability to dictate the scenarios of our unconscious mind, and lo and behold, there does seem to be some fact to this. After acknowledging this tid bit of information, I decided to embark upon my very own dream journey by compiling the perfect playlist for the unconscious mind, so I hope you've got your ipods ready. </span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: left;"><span class="bodybold"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: left;"><span class="bodybold">The download is dissected into two different files: the standard itunes ready track by track mixtape, and for the die hard unconscious dreamers, an hour long, uninterrupted audio file, ready for repeated playback as you drift off into your dream state.</span></div><br />

I wish it'd slow down at least just a little bit, I feel like I'm missing way too much around me and I'd rather not forget it all. There's just so many memories I'd like to keep but there's no more room. My mental space is filling up too quickly I think, I should probably just go ahead and stop being so nostalgic and make room for more, but why? I like the ones I have already, why can't I just keep them all? Tough luck I suppose, but enough with the metaphors, we've got bidness to take care of.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> Today marked the first day of the beginning of the school year, and unlike most of the kids my age, I was kind of excited. I laid out my clothes, phoned moms the night before, listened to some hype music... my social life/study habits are about to be on top this year (or at least that's what I keep telling myself). I've only been to two out of my five classes, and everything seems to be okay, but lets not speak too soon, again, it is only day one.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I'm guessing this'd be a good a time as any to humbly apologize for my hiatus, and to offically wave good bye to the summer behind us. It's been real though has it not? Our love affair was wonderful, but school's started baby and Autumn keeps calling my name. Don't worry, I'll be back next year. [End scene]</span><br />

New music, old music, mainstream, completely unheard of...all of it. It's a mystery to me that I'm even able to concentrate on the simplest of task without having the urge to open up a new tab and listen to so and so's unofficial, unreleased greatest hits playlist. Speaking of tabs, I'm pretty sure I have at least 47 open right now, one of them being the almighty, untouchable, unconquerable itunes collection (yes all of that was necessary, and yes you can't compete). </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Second to my education and my unborn child (chill, no one's pregnant) my choice in music and private assembly of entire albums and accompanying artwork, is something that I'm seemingly proud of, regardless of whether everyone else chooses to agree or not. For me, music is one of those things where everyone gets free rain. No one should be able to make you feel bad for listening to this or nodding your head that. You choose what you want to hear, you can't help what you like right? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">In layman's term, I like to diversify and listen to a lot of different stuff, and as you might of guessed, my metaphorical plate is filled to the max with loads of varying metaphorical foods. As of right now there are about a dozen plus albums that I have yet to give a full listen to, so I figured, "hey, sharing is caring, put it on da blog." </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Oh, also if you're interested (of course you are) I crafted a quick dubstep mix for a close relative of mine. She asked me to do it ages ago, but the important thing is is that the deed is done, so no fuss. I didn't have the time to do it all special like I do my other mixes, but the music is great so why not cop it anyway. </span><br />

I, Justnorman, after years and years of admiration and the occasional laps of momentary astonishment, was finally given the opportunity to bask in the greatness of what is know as The Kid Cudi Experience. Now if anyone is familiar with me, and my taste in music (as by now I'm sure you are), you'll understand that my ears, along with the rest of my auditory system, have very quaint and particular desires in what they like to hear on a regular basis. At times I can come off as a bit pretentious and overly high brow, but if I may say, my itunes collection does however possess the occasional left fielder (Waka Flocka, Gucci Mane, Based God, need I go on?). While what I just stated has almost nothing to do with the topic at hand, my point is that I love music, and if I was unfortunately chosen to choose one man as the #1 rager of all time, Mr. Rager himself would without a doubt be the only man on that list.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The event took place on July 19th, Houston Texas, Reliant Arena. The previous 24 hours were fairly intense for me considering my inability to sleep, eat and control my sweat glands. Luckily enough I was able to arrive at the venue in one piece, "solo dolo" as usual. I was incredibly excited, and as if things couldn't get any better, I was graced with the presence of a lady friend I knew from way back, and as it turns out she was alone as well (swag). We waited in line in anticipation of what was to come, and soon enough there we were, moments away from witnessing one of the greatest shows I was ever to see in my twenty years of existence. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The experience opens up with a Chip tha Ripper set, who I am unfortunately somewhat unfamiliar with, but just enough so that I was able to swag out like it was nobody's business. After an hour or so it was time, time for him, time for him to grace us with his presence, grace us with his greatness. Is it...is that...yes inner female teenager, that, is Kid Cudi. For the next hour and a half or so, the crowd and I raged like there was no such thing as tomorrow. I mean how could you not? Chip was there, Cudi was there and even Cage made an appearance (epic). I don't mean to come off as cliche and star struck, but there were a few moments where I actually thought I was about to cry, it got that real. It's weird how you can feel so connected with someone you've never met before, but I guess that was the whole point right? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The girl I was with actually ended up blacking out for just a second, so I might of missed a song or two taking care of the lady, but that's neither here nor there. Despite the three previous paragraphs crafted before this, words can't explain how great of a time I had that night, and even though I have absolutely no high def photographs to show for it (box office LIED and told me cameras weren't allowed) I had an insane time, and if luck strikes me right, I'll never be able to forget it. Rage on Mr. Rager... Rage on.</span><br />

To continue on with the previous post, it's still hot in Houston and I still don't feel like going outside while the sun's out, but what can I say, gotta live it up while we can right? This previous weekend I attended The Blow x Love Inks show, and in case you're wondering, yes it was worth the money. Now to most, twelve bucks may seem like chump change, worthless, insignificant, but to me, twelve dollars seems like so much more than that. Now I don't mean to sound like such a bum or a penny pincher (which I am), but when you don't have a job and paying for school requires you to sign your life away on a government endorsed payment plan, you start to realize that money actually matters, regardless of how often you tell yourself that it doesn't. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">OBVIOUSLY, I get off task way too easily, but I think you get what I was attempting to get at. Long story short, I had a great time at the show, and both artist did a bang up job. As usual, all photographs were taken by yours truly, and if after listening to a few songs you find yourself sincerely interested, go a step further visit both groups <a href="http://khaelamaricich.com/wordpress/">HERE</a> and <a href="http://www.loveinks.com/">HERE</a>.</span><br />

Image Dump<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">*Looks down at weather channel app* Today? High 97. Tomorrow? High 97. Next day? Well I think you're beginning to get the pattern. It's just too hot to walk, too hot to blog, too hot to do anything, and cold, filtered canteen water just isn't cutting it. Not only is the rest of the coming weeks about to be blistering hot, I have a feeling that it's going to be this way for the next three to five months </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">(go figure). I'm usually not one to complain about the weather considering that I'm the first one to take my shirt off the moment the temperature reaches anything above 76, but come on, highs way north of 90, people dying on their way to work and no beach located within a 20 minute vicinity? This is just complete foolishness and I don't think I can stand for it any longer.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">On a lighter note, we have air conditioning and I've got ample amounts of bad television and foreign novels to keep me company, so no worries. I'm still on the job hunt, and by that I mean I've pretty much lost all hope. In a perfect world I'd be making cash flow blogging or at the very least writing for someone else, but I'm sure we all know how difficult that can be. Damn how hard life is, why must it be that way though?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Well for now I guess that's just the way it is, unless I start making some income, then of course you'll definitely be "in the know" at that point. For now I'll just supply you guys and gals with a quaint selection of my favorite gifs and images, a few of which can be seen gracing the web-space of my <a href="http://youaintgotnolaser.tumblr.com/">TUMBLR</a> page. Oh, and If anyone knows anyone with some job openings, *takes off ray bans, pulls out half empty resume* I'm your man. Till next time</span><br />

The Warm Weather Mixtape<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">So the last time we spoke, I told you that I had a bit of a surprise that was supposed to be posted no later than Wednesday of last week. Well obviously, as usual with my blogging schedule, I'm a bit late on the delivery, but I'm here, so please don't be too upset. I try my best not to make these mixtapes of mine too frequent, but you have absolutely no idea how excited I get about hearing certain songs, or whenever I'm asked that age old question: "so, what kind of music do you like?" They're just so much fun to do, and I love just finding new stuff and "putting people on" if you will, so it's a win win.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I really do have to ask you guys to be careful with this one though, 'cause I'm pretty sure I OD'd on swag like four times while assembling this track list (it's that potent). I tried my best to craft and create the perfect summer mixtape, and while it's not necessarily the type you'll want to bang in your candy red impala, it's definitely beach house and road trip worthy (scout's honor). <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?s8pojarshbghgz2">DOWNLOAD HERE</a>.</span><br />

Of course I've had the occasional outing, bonding time with moms and other such friends and family members, and from time to time the sporadic bike ride that usually ends in me slowly dying in the back of a Starbucks restroom, hoping and praying that the air conditioner never kicks off. I spend most of my days cooking and cleaning, as most of my stay at home mother friends do (what?), and making meager attempts at finishing this book I've been trying to read for who knows how long. As many kids my age with prior work history, I thought I'd have a job lined up before I even got here, spoke to the boss and everything, but at the looks of it, I just might not be working this summer (fingers still crossed). It'd be nice if there were more employers willing to hire me, regardless of my inability to work for more than 10 weeks, but I guess that's just the way life goes... Damn.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">HOWEVER, according to last night, things are beginning to look up, as I've kicked off my series of yo-son-it's-a-bunch-of-bands-playing-lets-go-see-dem list with quite the bang if I may say so. <a href="http://twinsistermusic.com/">TWIN SISTER</a>, along with <a href="http://youngmammals.bandcamp.com/">YOUNG MAMMALS</a> and another band that I can't quite recall the name of were in attendance, and boy am I glad that I didn't stay at home to watch Bad Girls Club reruns. The show was great, the lighting was perfect and every girl in the spot looked like Alexa Chung and that one girl who's the lead singer for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. As usual I was one of four black kids there and it seems as if we all naturally gravitated towards one another (we low key stick together). My only problems were that the the downstairs stage was too small for the crowd that showed up, and my major concern being that I didn't get the chance to spit game at the lead singer. I think she smiled at me, and I'm pretty sure we made love with our eye contact, but I can't quite recall so that's my story and I'm sticking to it. All in all it was a great show, and despite my rambling on for an entire two paragraphs without even mentioning the genres of music or if it's even worth spending your hard earned money on (which I do in fact believe it is), I'll just let the audio and the photographs speak for themselves.</span><br />

If you spend as much time on the internet as I do, then I'm quite sure that all of your favorite blogs, tumblrs, twitters and hypebeast-esque lifestyle sites have been filled to the brim with information (or the lack thereof) on Lady Gaga and Nicki Minaj's love child. Kreayshawn seems to of created a rather large buzz for herself as of late, no doubt caused by the introduction of her feature track, Gucci Gucci.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">I'll have to admit, the song in itself is extremely catchy, and even long after analyzing the track I could still be found condemning high luxury, swagging heavy, and commenting on how many bad bitches I have in my very large room. God I love what music does to me. Unfortunately, I took it upon myself to go a step further and actually give ear to some of her other, lesser know, audio goodies, and was (as somewhat expected), thoroughly unimpressed. Considering that this is only the beginning, I can't quite forgo Kreayshawn as a whole just yet. I mean, I am a fan of Lil B, so who am I to criticize a girl for a lack of flow and or lyrical content on a particular track (BASED WORLD). Speaking of Lil B, and Odd Future Wolf Gang for that matter, Shawn in know for rubbing shoulders with some of Cali's finest underground hip-hop acts so who knows, maybe it's her time to breakthrough.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">Anyhow, the track is addicting and I love it, so please formulate your own opinions and be sure to let me know how you feel about said white girl.</span><br />

Regardless of the fact that I only own one pair (I'm not made out of diamonds) I've been hooked from day one, and it seems as if it's the combination of low price-high quality frames and their wholehearted belief in bettering our communities that keeps me unquestionably captivated by their business model. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Just recently they partnered up with <a href="http://www.visionspring.org/home/home.php">VisionSpring</a> in order to provide both eyewear and entrepreneurial opportunities for women living in low income countries. Now I don't know about you, but as far as I'm concerned there aren't very many businesses that I can list who's goal is to both make profit AND change the world for the better, and I appreciate that. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">While we're on the topic of Warby Parker, their 2011 collection was released quite recently, and even though I've only owned my frames for just a little under six months, I'm already ready to call it quits and upgrade to a new pair. I'll take two, heavy on the swag please. </span><br />

I don't think I've set foot into a state funded gallery since I was a child, and since I love to make myself seem way more intellectual than I actually am, I figured this'd be a good a time as any to actually turn myself into that cultured young soul that I strive to be (aN pLu$, d@ gUrLz luV 1+). </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Honestly, I wish you were there to see some of these paintings, because I don't think any camera is capable of doing any of these depictions justice. To be able to see the brushstrokes and the color of the paint as it ages due to time is just mind boggling, and to see the size, and how massive some of the works ended up being in real life is just...intense. There were a few times that I actually ended up getting "reprimanded," and I even snagged a few shot of some works that I wasn't supposed to (PRIVATE COLLECTIONS), but it's all in the name of art right? Ironic enough, the final time I get caught doing something I'm not supposed to be doing, just so happens to be the one time a picture is taken with me in the frame and I have no clue what the title of the painting is, it's my favorite. If anyone has any idea, feel free to let me know, I'm dying over here.</span><br />

It makes me sad... On a more positive note, this summer shall be an epic one. I'm not even out of school yet and I'm already getting hit up to go do fun stuff with the bros [and the ladies as well]. This rarely happens, I'm excited, and if you're one of the people that I plan on spending my time with, then IT IS ABOUT TO GO DOWN.</div><object height="81" width="100%"> <param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F14788553&show_comments=false&auto_play=false&color=000000"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed allowscriptaccess="always" height="81" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F14788553&show_comments=false&auto_play=false&color=000000" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%"></embed> </object> <br />

As usual, I'm doing my daily internet crawl, browsing through dozens of new records and artist, attempting to sift the miracles from the mundane and there was it was, the opening record to his debut album, and also the moment that I gently cried into the arms of my pillow and comforter [it was just...beautiful]. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">If I had to pigeon hole Mr. McMorrow in comparison to other musicians, I'd go ahead and say he's a mixture between James Blake, Mumford & Sons and I've even heard Bon Iver thrown in a few times. He's definitely got that hardcore indie/folk singer vibe going on but also makes use of more traditional instruments such as the banjo and sliding guitar. I seem to enjoy most of the songs included on the record, and honestly I can't wait till August 'cause the is going to be the PERFECT autumn album. I've compiled a list of some of my favorite songs from the album so please enjoy if you're in the mood.</span><br />

Judging by the last few weeks of Texas temperature, I've had reason to believe that perhaps the coming summer won't be such a warm one, but sadly, YOUR BOY WAS AND IS MISTAKEN. It seems as if Huntsville has decided to pull a total 180, forcing me to wear nothing but canvas sneakers, hipster cutoffs, and lightweight dress shirts completely unbuttoned, abs tight and chains gleaming [swag]. As much as I love summer, I'm beginning to miss donning my all time favorite wool hat/trucker jacket combo, but I guess I'll just have to keep it moving and hope to God that I won't get any darker due to all the running I'll be doing [it is hella warm outside]. On that note, allow us to reminisce on our former winter glory. Hot babes, fur coats, herringbone and all.</span><br />

I've been a pretty big fan of Darwin Deez for a while now and I even had the opportunity to go see there show in Houston, but just like my life, something tragic happened and I just wasn't able to make it [damn.] Regardless of my ruined opportunities, I'm still able to live vicariously through the music, so I guess there's some since of positive within it all. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I've spoken to a few of my friends about there opinions of Mr. Deez, and as somewhat expected, many of them didn't seem to be too excited about it all that much. They felt as if he was a bit too indie, too hipster, just too much of "all of that," [or whatever that means] but to me, I actually kind of like it. Yeah the lyrics and melodies can be somewhat simple or even childish [that's a stretch] but simplicity is often times what catches my attention the most and I enjoy it. I actually really dig the album, and like most of the artist I speak of, I'll definitely continue to listen and keep them on my radar for forever and beyond.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">As you'll soon see, I've still been going pretty hardcore for all my 80s synth vibe remixes and musicians and of course, nothing has changed. Besides the lyrics, the remix seems to be the other supporting factor as to why I'm still able to listen to this song over and over.</span><br />

No, I've just been lazy, that's all. As much as I'd like to say that I've been spending this entire time running game on some literature and math equations, I unfortunately am unable to do so, shoot me. If it's any consolation I have been a little bit swamped lately, nothing too gnarly or specific, just your run of the mill onslaught of school, women and your classic case of dorm room boredom.</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I do come bearing gifts however, if you will accept them. If you <a href="http://justnorman.blogspot.com/2011/02/from-laser-with-love-mixtape.html">REMEMBER</a>, sometime in February I made a mixtape for all the lovers and lonely hearts on Valentine's Day. It actually ended up turning out to be a pretty "big" hit with 69, count 'em, 69 downloads [SWAG]. As an attempt to make up for my lack of love for Justnorman I decided to make another mixtape, so please, enjoy.</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />

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 </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">[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.

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]. </span><br />

Be safe and be easy guys.</span>JustNormanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17916617050519825039noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6427959317200907797.post-57051042061667502062011-03-04T16:16:00.000-08:002011-03-04T16:21:29.972-08:00Remix Remix Six<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">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 <a href="http://justnorman.blogspot.com/2010/12/toro-y-moi.html">post</a> 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, <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?822rs8rhwv7xwca">From Laser with Love mixtape</a>. 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.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">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. </span><br />
