In waiting for my iPod to finish synching, I was stumbling my ass off, at which time I discovered that which is the glorious blog Music Nerdery. I was thus introduced to Cee-Lo Green and his song "Fuck You," which, to say the least, is catchy as fuck, makes ya wanna shake your booty and jump back into the ages of Motown, soul, funk, and R&B. Music Nerdery puts it most eloquently, calling it the "greatest song in the history of the world" that consists of a "combination of the classic Retro Soul, Pop-Infused formula and upfront, harsh, keepin it 100% real witdatass lyrics dedicated to that gold digging bitch you shouldn't have fallen in love with, and her basic, trickin' ways."
Couldn't have said it better myself

August 31
So I think this is going to turn into something of a music blog. I'll talk about things I find online or shows that I see or things that I listen to at record stores or maybe even stuff that I write (yes, I write music on occasion).
Today my dad sent me a link to something that I'm sure has gotten around, but I thought it was so cool I just want to share it. It is the new Justin Bieber song slowed down to 1/8 its original speed and has a sort of post-rock, ethereal Sigur Ròs feel to it. Here is a link to the page that has both the original and slowed down version as well as an article by Max Read.
Also, I am really diggin the Fly Definition hip hop blog. They have lots of free downloads, which I'm always down for.

Well now.
Here I am with a new blog, on Blogspot, rather than Tumblr, out of sheer necessity for something to do. I have been abusing the newly installed internet and exploring the underground dj/hip-hop scene in Santa Cruz and the Bay Area in general. There is some good stuff around. Eliquate has a sound reminiscent of Atmosphere, though not as heavy (Let's be real, pretty hard to be as heavy as Atmosphere). Alexander Spit also has some sweet flows and a good dance party vibe. As far as djs, DJ Toxic Rainbow has some tight mixes. I'm not too far into the mixing scene and don't know the different genres of electronic music, so excuse the lack of description regarding DJ Toxic Rainbow.
I'm hoping to find some djs who go to UCSC that are willing to play free house parties and that sort of thing. I made a new friend down in Santa Barbara who spins and it was really cool to see and hear it.
