  1. 1. Let yourself be impressed by things that are truly impressive weather an event, person or thing.

    2. Small minds think small thoughts. Expand. Intelligence is only an insult to feebs.

    3. Being a man has nothing to do with what some rapper told you to do on some bullshit album about

    the code of the streets and snitching.

    4. Read as much as you can.

    5. Let friends get credit for their hard work. You don't always need to knock people down who are doing

    well, nor the people who congradulate them for such.

    6. Secrets should be kept. Just because it's knowable doesn't mean you deserve to know it.

     

     

    Go ahead and hate on me thugs and thieves.

  2. Young people are stupid. No exceptions. They just don't have proper insight and tend to always think they know the answers to whatever they are thinking about. It's a terrible combination. I got dumb ass tattoos when I was younger. They are all in the middle of being lasered off. They're in the way of bigger and better things.

  3. What are the Squirrel Nut Zippers doing these days? They were one of my favorite bands for a while then they just fell off the map. Bernadette Seacreast is amazing too, I haven't heard much from her but she's great.

     

    I do like me some jazz. I'm definitely into jazz funk and fusion, one of the holdovers from my DJing days. The "Blue Break Beats" compilations on Blue Note are a good starting point. Dave Brubeck, Grant Green, Bobbi Humphries, Joe Henderson, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, McCoy Tyner, Django, Stanley Clarke...I can go on forever.

     

    For a couple of years I was really into Swedish jazz. For some reason I can't think of anything specific right now but I was buying whatever I could find (which wasn't much) for a while. Also, I still like library music (commercial and theme music from Europe and the UK) a lot.

     

    SNZ are back together and touring.

  4. I'm a huge Jazz fan. Have been for years. I listen more to the early, early shit. Hotjass, Ragtime, Hot and Sweet Jazz, Early big band/swing, early Tin Pan Alley and novelty music. I'm all about it. I'm hugely into Gypsy Jazz.

     

    Django is the fucking man.

     

    Louis Armstrong, Original Dixieland Band, King Oliver, Bessie Smith, Jelly Roll, Fletcher Henderson,

    Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Art Tatum, Chick Webb, Bix Beiderbecke, Annete Hanshaw, Artie Shaw, Billie Holiday, Chet Baker, Dinah Washington, Dizzie Gillespe, Ella Fitzgerald, Gene Krupa, Glenn Miller, Josephine Baker, Louis Prima, Oscar Peterson, Scott Joplin, Sten Getz, Tommy Dorsey.....

     

     

    I also listen to allot of newer acts that play these styles well.

    Janet Klein, Bernadette Seacrest, Stolen Sweets, Shit, Squirrel Nut Zippers got lumped into that whole swing revival back in the mid nineties, but they are actually closer to Django's gypsy jazz than anything, and they are a truly great band, especially the first three albums.

    Also Leon Redbone, and a huge amonut of Tom Waits catalogue skirts one or more of these styles at the same time.

     

    KOH/Balls deep in old music.
