While they may be out of season come time for our wedding, the bride will probably have to have some beautiful calla lilies imported in order to match elegance with the unique beauty which she radiates.
Hey Stones Throw.
You won’t have another applicant who traveled Bhutan for a month as a diplomat, or who can ramble off a stupid-long list of the digits of Pi. I can also grow a beard so thick I could donate it to locks-for-love.
Interview with the NHM
The National Hellenic Museum thought this project to be important enough to interview me for, and I’m not telling them how foolish they are! Nevertheless, I’ve below are my responses. If you haven’t done so yet, go check out the museum page here. Homer, tell us your inspiration behind the ‘Hip Hop Odyssey’. What made […]

Like A Mighty Stream
But let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream… (Amos 5:21-24.)

Check them here: Comments […]
Thought for the day
Inspiration may be a form of super-consciousness, or perhaps of subconsciousness – I wouldn’t know. But I am sure it is the antithesis of self-consciousness. Aaron Copland
Carl Lewis
The newest jazz to make it to mp3 form here in the past few days.
Diachronic Mix
Shout outs to two mic and a kit, mudkids, yannick aka Jazzmen and others who have had nice things to say recently. Freshly mastered by soliq. It sounds pristine. Leave a message if you want a custom stamped and printed CD mailed to your doorstep. Full Time Funk #8: Diachronic Mix
Some goodness
I’ll be posting more often due to my recent decision to cut off ties with the Friendly Networking Monolith known as Facebook – I had been more active in posting things I liked there. I’ve been cooped up in the lab for a few days not feeling well and letting my body cleanse itself out. […]
I’ve got to hit the streets…
I’ve been without proper cans or any monitors for over two months now and am pulling out my hair. I heard some John Berry a few days ago and was hypnotized…below is an attempt to balance and put out a track using some janky computer speakers. If you want to balance it proper, let me […]
Two more for you
One is sweet One is spicy
Work is coming to a close
I’m almost done with the first semester, and just finished writing on Europe’s “discontents”, her problems, and the ethical response found within Social Teachings of my beloved RCC. Two weeks ago I was neither writing music (because I had papers to write) nor writing papers (because all I wanted to do was write music), and […]
Talib Kweli – Rock On & On – Part Time Monk remix
You may have seen this Moloko video. It bangs pretty hard. I thought I could do better. You see, Talib Kweli is one of the easiest artists to remix from a production standpoint because he is so articulate and true to the rhythm. One of my other favorites – Ghostface – is nearly impossible for […]

Tonight (is the night) ft. Bill Cosby
It’s been a very pleasant (awesome) few days, despite the various housing problems, the extreme shortage of money, the upcoming finals, and the impending big decisions I have to make about school. I had the pleasure of stumbling around Rome with a pretty lady who tolerated my musings, bad jokes and inclination for really dudeish […]
Spinnin’ Around
Submission for the Beat Competition in St. Louis Tonight. Hope it goes well. I’ve got a running credit there now…
Time to think
There has been a lot of pressure coming in on me from different sides- scholastic obligations and friends and collaborators who are quickly improving their technique, giving me a run for my money and challenging me to step up on the plate. I won’t have a lot of time for this sort of thing, I […]
Like a nip tuck / specialize in deep cuts / Free chocolate!
Hello y’all, I’ve been back in Italy for about two weeks now, trying to get all the papers straight and the monastery technological department running smoothly. I’m moving to Rome and living with Evan and his little slice of heaven any day. The internet often dies at 8:00, leaving me unable to work and able […]
Kingpin
From Joni Mitchell’s Hissing of Summer Lawns comes an attempt to be a shadow of soul of what Joni brings to the table. She’s one of my inspirations, one of the greatest gifts from my mother, and one of the most talented singers to tread from the green days of the age of aquarius into […]
