listening to:


the lost scarves.

any place as good as this




there's a sky light so large the whole sky could fall in
or snow when it's falling
I can hear the young ones yelping
outside in the drifts
fire in the fireplace
cans in the pantry
three cats in a pile snuggling
a place as good as this?
I need some alone time,
but did enough of that on my own time

Jaylib, The message, butter


poison is every where
people wasting they whole life, it's like they just don't care
....

don't push me just cause we close to the end
I'm trying not to lose the skin I'm in

It's not worth it sometimes it makes me wonder if we're all going under X2


Jaylib, The message, butter

foot down, the new del single.

"you better get ready, cause I'm going to hit you three ways, hard, fast and continuously"


The first single from Del's forthcoming album on the DefJux label arrives a little late to the party, seeing as it's been years that we've been waiting for the 11th hour to drop. Oh well, better late then never...

"my temperature is burnin' hot"

The song gets better after a few listens, del is using his old 'go off beat and come back on purpose', combined with some double-timing, and the effort is far from worthless. The beat, produced by del, is a simple yet elegant little bit of bleepy funk that takes a bit of percolation to really enjoy...

"I see Def Jux out there doing their thing, I think we can help each other build new audiences. Im looking forward to working with El-P and Def Jux on future projects as well."

It will be nice to hear some of these future projects, the way del worked wonders over automator's 3030 beats but this time over El-P's blade runner meets bomb squad sound holds promise. Also maybe this will result in some more action for the rest of the hiero crew, most importantly to me that means more PepLove joints available as his oft delayed album collects dust...

It also seems to me that this is DefJux's first foray into signing a west coast artist (aesop's move to san fran. not withstanding), and hopefully both crews's extended families get a little lovelier for it... (yak ballz, cool calm pete, domino, tajai feat. goapple posse cut anyone?)

fun times at work



new distraction at work, socializing with co-workers as if this was a game of survivor, making comments about immunity idols and alliances off-handedly without acknowledging the basis for such comments. Speaking to co-workers about others I refer to with coded nicknames as if they might overhear and be concerned.

ie. "The snitch bird is flying the coop on a west wind."

Talking to some co-workers as if I was making an aside to the camera during the show.

ie. "All I've got are my jokes, these guys over here, they can win an immunity idol, all I've got are my jokes!"

All this stems from a lecture we term testers got yesterday about how there will only be 2 positions left once we finish our current project and how we need to take onwnership and prove we deserve the position, lest we lose our jobs or worse have our internet access cut off.
