i've started a new project that you can catch a glimpse of tonight at the grand opening of Alive and Well Seattle. if you're in the area make sure to stop by......it should be a "who's who."

for everyone else, i should have something offical in the near future.

i'm soooooooo mysterious.

happy new year all. next up we have a mixtape i did for lamixtape's january series. they asked me for a theme and i figured they were probably tired of hip hop and soul stuff so i thought i'd step outside of the box and drop "music for your lady" on em.'

give it as a gift to that girl you've been crushing, play it in the car when she'd rather listen to dave mathews or katy perry (or whatever crap chicks listen to these days), or even better play it during baby making time. no matter what the situation, having a good lady mix in your arsenal is always a good look.

check it out here.....www.lamixtape.fr (along with 8 other great mixes)

and if you like it download here

and if you like this lamix idea, the post 9 new ones every month!

shit yeah,

lemme drop the backstory first.......

back in feb. 2010, fresh espresso released their entire glamour album in accapellas and your boy jumped all over the opportunity with the intensions of making the perfect remix album for the upcoming summer. i started throwing their verses over old beats i already had and simple soul loops only to have my computer crash weeks into it. thats where the story and project ended.......untiiiillllllllllll NOWWWWW!!!!!!!!!

seriously though, this is the "un-mixed, un-mastered, and un-finished rough draft project I started and forgot about." and i think its a good listen so here it is almost 2 years later in its original form for ya'll to enjoy.

go get it HERE!

Bear drinks 36 cans of favorite beer

BAKER LAKE, Wash. (AP) — Rain-eeeeer .... Bear? When state Fish and Wildlife agents recently found a black bear passed out on the lawn of Baker Lake Resort, there were some clues scattered nearby — dozens of empty cans of Rainier Beer.
The bear apparently got into campers' coolers and used his claws and teeth to puncture the cans. And not just any cans.

"He drank the Rainier and wouldn't drink the Busch beer," said Lisa Broxson, bookkeeper at the campground and cabins resort east of Mount Baker.

Fish and Wildlife enforcement Sgt. Bill Heinck said the bear did try one can of Busch, but ignored the rest.

"He didn't like that (Busch) and consumed, as near as we can tell, about 36 cans of Rainier."

A wildlife agent tried to chase the bear from the campground but the animal just climbed a tree to sleep it off for another four hours. Agents finally herded the bear away, but it returned the next morning.

Agents then used a large, humane trap to capture it for relocation, baiting the trap with the usual: doughnuts, honey and, in this case, two open cans of Rainier. That did the trick.

"This is a new one on me," Heinck said. "I've known them to get into cans, but nothing like this. And it definitely had a preference."

Dennis Hopper: Photographs 1961-1967

"A reluctant icon captures a decade of cultural transformation

During the 1960s, Dennis Hopper carried a camera everywhere—on film sets and locations, at parties, in diners, bars and galleries, driving on freeways and walking on political marches. He photographed movie idols, pop stars, writers, artists, girlfriends, and complete strangers. Along the way he captured some of the most intriguing moments of his generation with a keen and intuitive eye. A reluctant icon at the epicenter of that decade’s cultural upheaval, Hopper documented the likes of Tina Turner in the studio, Andy Warhol at his first West Coast show, Paul Newman on set, and Martin Luther King during the Civil Rights March from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama."

DEAR ANONYMOUS

2011-05-27T15:18:00.000-07:00

really?? seriously???? is this what your bitter life has come to? bashing the "writing" of a blogger that doesnt write?

i leave you with a fragment sentance and a picture of myself.....jumping while making a funny face. silly right? well i like to laugh. i was probably laughing when this picture was taken. what makes you laugh? i suggest you focus more on that and less on how much you hate people with fun blogs. sorry about your life. it obviously sucks.

SOUNDS SO GOOD RIGHT NOW

2011-05-20T13:42:00.000-07:00
