A shit load of states have been suffering from heat advisories all week, and Wisconsin is one of them. The only passable day was yesterday, and it was still in the upper 80s, just not as humid. Thank god for air conditioning and nice, cool, basements. I am not a hot weather creature. I prefer Mid to late spring and early to mid autumn for temperatures. Though, we had some wicked awesome thunderstorms this morning.
So, nothing really new here, except I applied at a local pizza place. Which is disheartening, but you gotta do what you gotta do to get that dough. Cash rules everything around me, which segues into my main point.
I'm not a big hip-hop or rap fan, but there are a few artists and eras I enjoy. Public Enemy, Run-DMC, some Jay-Z (99 Problems), Mobb Deep, Mos Def, fucking WU-TANG, and most of the "underground" scene of Minnesota. I posted a couple of Atmosphere songs in previous posts, Atmosphere being from Minneapolis. Last night, I made an awesome discovery. Doomtree, a collective of MCs from Minneapolis, including POS who has found a relatively widespread fame, recently did a mash-up album. 1st: fucking WU-TANG CLAN! Which, is the greatest rap collective of all time. But, the instrumental choice blew me away. Fugazi. Which is one of my favorite bands of all time. Which is one of the greatest bands that had their height in 1990s. Which has hardcore luminary Ian Mackaye flexing his musical muscles and proving how punk rock can be a legitimate art form. The band that may not have invented post-hardcore, but pushed the musical envelope to its limit. Everyone knows Wu-Tang clan. Add some Fugazi to that, and prepare to shit bricks. Here's an example:
Oh yeah, and i quit cigarettes cold turkey like two weeks ago. Wasn't as hard as other times I've tried. Did slip up twice, bummed drags off of friends, but haven't bought any. So yay on that account. But, I've noticed I've been eating more, which means that I'm moving up my diet to next week. Was hoping to start it after my trip, but whatevs. Starting Monday, my new physical self begins to truly take shape
Stay clutch, homies
That is a nice track, and I am glad there is another Fugazi fan here. That was fucking amazing, Wu-Tang blended nice with Fugazi
ReplyDeleteWell done on the quitting smoking thing. I find that you tend not to decide to quit, you just do it, one day you just never smoke again. Hope you get the pizza place job, it's not glamorous but it is money, and until the commies win, it's necessary. I'm with you on heat, I'd rather be too cold than too hot, and I hit the "too hot" threshold really, really easily.
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain lol it's too damn hot over here in Cali as well!
ReplyDeleteReally nice song man! +1
ReplyDeleteVery nice track mate, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteyours is a very creative and interesting blog, congrats! + followed
ReplyDeleteAfter a wet and cool summer so far we finally had our first hot day here in Oregon today
ReplyDeleteHeat is fucking horrid. We're having a rainy week respite here, it's nice to be able to breathe again.
ReplyDeleteGood work on quitting smoking!
Nice work - both on the cigs front and finding the Wugazi.
ReplyDeleteVery nice indeed.
Dude, Wu-Tang might just be the best of all time out of anything. Not just music. I like Fugazi a lot too. Enjoyed the mash-up. There's a new Cool Kids song that has Ghost on it that I'm feeling right now. If you can do the diet right now then more power to you but just don't smoke. I've gained some weight since I quit abt 7 months ago but it's still totally fucking worth it. Maybe I'm just saying that because I have a long-term girlfriend, but then again if I didn't I probably wouldn't be a fat fuck.
ReplyDeleteWell if you get the pizza place job, from what people have told me, there is no way you will eat pizza at the end of the day, so maybe it will be good for a diet. Anyway I hope you get the job, in the same boat, just need to do something to get money and not be a bum anymore. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteomg i love fugazi, and this is one of the best things i heard in a last few weeks!!! thank you
