Dance till ya can't Dance till ya can't Dance no more

It seems every coupla months I will find out about some new crazy-ass region specific dance that is just coming out and every time I get my head blown off. You can tell waaay more about a group of people by what they create rather than what a Rand McNally picture atlas could tell you. The newest dance music craze sweeping the internet is from South Africa, it sounds like the soundtrack to the cheaper N64 games like Bust-A-Move or Diddy Kong racing....but sped up to impossible speeds with super mechanical yet polyrythmic drums and a notable lack of low-end. But the way these girls are dancing to it is what gets me, crazy crazy hypnotic....there is no reason to try and describe just let it explain itself. All-in-all it reminds me of something you'd see on Sesame Street or Gullah Gullah Island, it's a feel good vibe and a reminder that Americans are way to stiff and neurotic to have a pure good time compared to some others in the world.

If you don't have any patience for the music the dancing starts a minute in....

This video is admittedly pretty ridiculous, I don't know Im a weird dude those vocals do it for me though

SHANGAAN ELECTRO 6 from outsidemusic on Vimeo.

This last song I actually kind of dig, but you might want to take that with a grain of salt because I've been lately feeling like C+C Music Factory is one of the best bands of the 90's, and I always have room in my heart for a saccharine sweet ode to love.

Daze 2 Cum

According to Wikipedia Bonobos are the only non-human animals to; have sex face-to-face, have sex for pleasure, and perform oral sex. This means that Bonobos are by far the most sexual animals on the planet. It makes since that Bonobo the musician would make equally sexual music. Steamy down-tempo Trip-hop colored with the sounds of the jungle and sultry wood winds, and eastern stringed instruments. This is the album you want to have on when you bring a lady over to your brand new apartment and you wanna show her how sophisticated and on-point you are. At least, that's what I'm gonna do if I ever get on-point. This shit begs for you to burn incense with a name like Love Opium, or Sweaty Lotus or something else equally seductive. But for the majority of us who can't partake in tantric sex next to their fireplace with a Bose soundsystem in the back, this shit'll do just fine for walking around town too high to die.

Start out the summer with the big Cuz upstairs, the one and only...MAC DRE! This was my first introduction Mac Dre and it's still probably my favorite. What you have here are some of his most potent 16 bars mixed into a super summer, ghetto blaster-ready 33-track party starter. Now hold on, I know most people are like, "pfff...Hyphy fag shit, Big L is the truth." or some other similar nonsense. Mac Dre is the real king of flow, slang, energy, swagger. And since this cd is condensed down to the absolute best 16 bars that he has you'll be hanging line-for-line while he delivers the goods.

"the shrooms i consume are making me laugh, im high as an eye on a fucking giraffe"
just a small sampling of his genius, rappers never reveal their influences nowadays, but dudes like Lil Wayne and Cassidy must have been taking cues from Mac Dre, because he is the king of punchlines and storytelling, and left-field analogies.

Been a long time, I shouldn't have left you

School, work, no-work, tour, no internet, moving....there are a lot of reasons why this blog has not been updated in a while but it's mostly just laziness. But summer is here and I don't have a job or school, I moved back in with mom(for the first time in 6 years.....YIKES!), so all I really have at the moment is the internet, guess I gotta do what I can do. And a lot if not all the links from the past are probably usesless....one day I'll try and correct that but it's probably gonna take some outside help.

Moving Forward.
The next coupla posts are gonna be some hardcore summer jamz...git rrready
