The Best Ice Cream I Ever Had... Ever

 
Strawberry ice cream, in the san giovanni district of rome, italy.

Thats all, thanks :)

... Thats Love.

I heard it on abstract innovations a while back, but i just received it promo so i guess that Q-Tips new album 'The Renaissance' is about to get pushed.

Cant wait :)

I Haz Funnies.

Thx

Iv heard about the word.

The bird is the word. Ooh-ma-ma-mow Ma-ma-ooh-ma-ma-mow.

Have you heard, about the word?

I never thought id be saying this....

...but iv made a discovery.

Iv found a classic prog rock (1978) track that i really like. Im fairly into folky stuff and pretty open to hearing different stuff anyway, but im completely shocked and stunned by this one.

I mean, Joni Mitchell is great, and i like some real odd stuff... but i just never thought that id have to say...

Theres this Jethro Tull song i really like. Listen to the flute! It just works!



Sorry everyone, but its true.

A Musical Leafy Lane....

This all started with a friend of mine lining my hand with a repress of a Tom & Jerry 12" from the 90s called 'maximum style'.



ILL, right?

Anyway, later on (a few years) this led directly to me buying a jungle compilation cd (unmixed) simply because it had a tom & jerry track on it called 'air freshner'. Im a huge dnb fan, and an even bigger 4hero fan, so to say i was 'pleased' was a major understatement.

I loved the sample, the break, the whole thing just blew my mind, i remember hearing this as a lad, but it had completely gone from my memory.

Anyway, here it is.



Awesome, im sure you agree. Fast forward a few years, and im sat on youtube searching for music (its quite a nice way of finding new tunes), and i stumbled across this track by Common called Penny For Your Thoughts, from his first album 'can i borrow a dollar?' (click here if you want to hear it, but i couldnt find the edited version on youtube)

Being a huge common fan, it blew my mind.... and it reminded me just how much i needed to find the original break. Took a mental note, and carried on surfing, put in some names of some artists i felt i didnt know much about, next thing i knew, purely by chance... Im listening to it. Id found the original break.

In talking to a guy close to 4hero, both sampled tracks were around at a similar time and it was just a coincidence! Anyway, here it is, Eddie Kendricks - Intimate Friends. I truly love this track!

Im A Neek...

Not only that, im elitist, too. Makes me wonderfully endearing to the average person (as you can imagine). This blog is a place for me to rant, to share my thoughts, etc.

I will make musical posts here as I do from time to time, have musical discoveries and revelations that i feel just need to be shared. I was inspired to finally do this by my good friend (hence iv taken lots of setup cues from his blog), the walking mackination, mack nick from over on musikwelve.blogspot.com, where youll find all sorts of new music that you're not likely to never hear of otherwise.

Im hoping to entice a couple of my like-minded neek friends to participate, but with another blog on the go, it might not happen... but not to worry, i think i have enough bizarre stuff to talk about to keep it going.

Thanks for visiting, please leave a comment! :)
