music & me

lately i have found a whole heck load of old burnt CD's and i forgot how good music used to be! there are a few local artist and underground writers that have come up with some gooooood stuff, but i remember the days were i loved every song on the radio.. and now im only a fan of maybe 1 or 2...i mean i guess maybe my taste in music has matured and grew away from 'top 40' haha but either way its WEAKKKKKKKKKKKKK.. goooood thing i've got my own guitar now so i can start producing some goood sh*t..

hahahahaha

that girl & slamm

lately i have been really into listening to 'slam poetry'. it is so refreshing and real and i donno but i have been crazy addicted lately, i just can't stop listening..


What is Slam Poetry?

A circus act of hyperbole, a war of words, a magic act of metaphor, a wild ride of wit, wisdom and wonder. Competitive poetry. Raucous, raunchy or raw.


There is a whole bunch out there that is absolutely amazing.. but there is one that i really connected with.. i think it is at least somewhat relate-able for every girl so for all the other girls out there- enjoy...



if you enjoyed this and wanna hear more,
there is a bunch on itunes but also search
'brave new voices' on you-tube and you will
find some amazing stuff..

Here are a few more that i love:

Dear Song: you are cute.


I think that possibly, maybe I'm fallin' for you
Yes, there's a chance that I've fallen quite hard over you
I've seen the paths that your eyes wander down
I wanna come to
I think that possibly, maybe I'm fallin' for you

No one understands me quite like you do
Through all of the shadowy corners of me

I never knew just what it was
About this old coffee shop I love so much
All of the while I never knew
I never knew just what it was
About this old coffee shop I love so much
All of the while I never knew

I think that possibly, maybe I'm fallin' for you
Yes, there's a chance that I've fallen quite hard over you
I've seen the waters that make your eyes shine
Now I'm shinin' too
Because, oh because, I've fallen quite hard over you

If I didn't know you, I'd rather not know
If I couldn't have you, I'd rather be alone

I never knew just what it was
About this old coffee shop I love so much
All of the while I never knew
I never knew just what it was
About this old coffee shop I love so much
All of the while I never knew
All of the while
All of the while
It was you

office in a box.

Both the alternative consumer and employees at Earthfirst think this solar powered office-in-a-box from Louis Vuitton is a monstrosity, the "antithesis of sustainability." I think it is rather neat, and expect to find affordable knock-offs on Canal Street next week. It was made for an unknown customer from China and contains everything you’d need to keep you entertained and energised while away on business or stranded on a desert island.

Inside you’ll find a TV, DVD player and coffee maker, the latter powered by a can of petrol. Electronic gadgets are powered by solar panels.

Looking beyond the Louis Vuitton name, transformer furniture and transportable, foldable designs like this make a lot of sense, and had it come from MUJI they would be eating it up.
And compared to what Louis Vuitton made for Karl Lagerfield....
He turned to Louis Vuitton for a custom-made suitcase able to hold up to forty iPods – lord knows why he needs that many.

It’s worth noting that, when a simple Louis Vuitton passport holder costs £155 ($234/€176), the custom-made Lagerfeld trunk would undoubtedly set you back a pretty penny. Yet it comes with what looks suspiciously like a JBL speaker set - which retails for around £50 ($75/€56). Nice mark-up if you can get it....... A custom case to hold forty iPods. Now that is unTreeHugger

Saturday

Ohh ohhh woww yeaa.

Back off loneliness and hello tenderness,
i've been waiting for your call for so long
and it must been hard just to follow your soul,
to stick to the road that your heart wants you to go
and as you slide through the doorwith your morals on your sleeve
and i think it's time for all those morals to leave
so lets get down and freaky baby, let's get restless baby
come on get crazy with me...
..and i said
when you're loving me, i'm loving you
and i love your prowess and the things that you do
and it's your flawless soul that bleeds my stone
and when you're loving me i'm loving you
and that's when we've got it goin' on oh goin' on
and i was soand i eneded another home a
and you fly in my arms you just fly into my arms.

Wednesday

would you of stopped?

A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold, December morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that thousands of people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.

Three minutes went by and a middle aged man noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to meet his schedule. A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the till and without stopping continued to walk.

A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work.The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother tagged him along, hurried but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on.

In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money but continued to walk their normal pace. He collected $32. When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.

No one knew this but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written with a violin worth 3.5 million dollars. Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theater in Boston and the seats average $100 each.


If noone took the time to stop and notice this, what else in our lives are we letting pass us by?
