Excluse with... Excluse!

Variety, it's a rather essential facet of life. When it comes to jams, shooters, ladies, or even freedom, switching things up and keeping it fresh shouldn't be completely avoided. But from time to time, as in... all the time, one should master the art of being excluse. What is this "excluse" you ask? Speaking in abreves, exlcuse is short for exclusive, or exclusively. For example, I would be excluse if I was to say, "I exclusively go for married chicks at the bar." or " I exclusively don't jam to music unless it's performed by the daughter of Mr. Ray Cyrus." or even, "I exclusively frequent my blog over other blogs for my blog is not a blog, but a tour journal, therefore giving it thrice the excluseness of your blog." Reaching the highest level of exclusness, known as being "excluse, with... excluse," is comparable to harnessing chi (namaste' bitches!). All though its not completely impossible, it is a difficult level to reach. I'm sure I have been there a number of times, but currently my memory is failing me as to when, due to my excluse relationship with shooters. Exclusively speaking, excluseness is not something any New Jack can just come in and claim. I have been working on getting excluse for a myriad weekends, Tuesday nights, and Holidays I may not be exactly qualified to celebrate but do anyway, because well, I'm excluse. So log in some hours, throw back a shooter (or ten), start shot gunning all your beers and quit spreading yourself so goddamn thin. GET EXCLUSE!!

Layered Power

It's been awhile since I have posted anything on this Journal, but since the shakes are taking over my life one tremor at a time, i figured it be only crucial that I touch on a simple subject as layered music.

Layered music is basically the most FES and awe inspiring music ever! Let me clarify. Have you ever been listening to a terrible song that brings nothing to the table and all of a sudden the chorus hits with all of the members of the band and some other newjacks singing all at once? Of course you have! On the way to the liquor store for shooters you're probably cranking up your def leppard tape to 11 and joining in on the madness! What fellow freedom loving patriot wouldn't? It is such musical geniuses like Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, and Van Halen that have distinguished themselves from the amateurs and run of the mill artists by utilizing there ability to all sing at once and layer on the power if you will. So many songs could have been saved by just adding on a few dudes to the chorus! Think about it, Aerosmith's Love in an Elevator to be honest probably ain't that good, but out of nowhere between shitty lyrics there's a common whooaaa...whooooa yeah! Damn it feels good when your front row hammered drunk and singing along all while punching the air above your head with the fist that isn't pressing the shooter or bottle of your finest Tennesee sour mashed to your face.

I believe it was probably during the year of 84' that this technique was used by all artists who aspired to write such lyrical masterpieces like Pour some Sugar, Living on a Prayer, Running w/ the Devil. You can't possibly sit and listen to those freedom jams without adding your own shitty voice to the chorus or layered segment. I highly suggest to any person who would like to add a little FES to their diet start by doing so with some good ol' fashioned bottle smashin' tunes. Put on unskinny bop and let Bret, Bobby, and CC attempt to sing in unison and inspire you to get off your ass and to the store for some more shooters. Before you know it, you'll feel like a giant and your shoulder will start to swell as you stab the sky with repeated Tyson like blows.

So...take my hand, we'll make it I swear...whooooooooooaaa livin' on a prayer!

Can I say.... Fes?

For the most part, this blog is comprised of random humor that Trash and I come up with out of god knows where, but today is a little different. I realized a blog without music, well, sucks! So that is why I am putting up the newest of the new mix I just finished at like 4:30 am this morning. Different from the usual "grind every girl that walks in the door" Electro mixes I have been making lately, but I'm pretty stoked on it, so I'm giving you the play by play of what's on it cause that seems like the cool ting to do these days when it comes to mixes. First and for most, here is the link for download.

What I Would Do For You ( Right click and save as on "Click here to start download)


1. Slightly Stoopid - I Would Do For You

This is my jam. Probably my flavorite SS song right now. And by the way, how many DJ's start a mix off with Slightly Stoopid jams anyway. Only one I can think of. ;)

2. The Roots - Sacrifice

Had no clue this song featured Nelly Furtado until about 8 seconds ago, but I guess I can deal with that. Out of the 2.3 times I have seen these guys live, the Phrenology show was for sure the best. So much more raw energy than the other ones I have seen. Not sure about their new new shit, but they are the only all black band to be signed to a major, so that's cool.

3. MIA - Paper Planes (DFA Remix)

I could never hear the original of this song again and probably die satisfied. MIA's shtick of shouting incoherent rambles will only last do long. (I give it 6 more months) , but the dudes from DFA gave this a proper remix that makes it fresh once again. And no gunshots, sorry.

4. The Doors - Riders on The Storm (JayCeeOh Edit)

The Doors with drums behind. Need I say more?

5.Belle X1 - Flame (Chicken Lipps remix)

First heard this on the Cut Copy "So Cosmic" Mix a while back and it was for sure the standout track. I have never even heard the OG, and to tell you the truth I don't want to for fear of ruining everything about this song. Supposedly, the band is essentially Juniper minus Damien Rice. Wouldn't call this song tough, but I dig it anyway.

6. Calvin Harris - Merrymaking

Calvin Harris is the man. Scotland STAND UP!! First heard this song through a big room house remix that DeadMau5 did, then heard the original, told the other version to beat it. Track is about casually doing drugs, and cold chillin'. Merrymaking in other words. Can't hate.

7. DJ Day - Gone Bad

I don't think I will ever get tired of this song. Drum breaks, melodious singing, and a brief synth solo. Key elements to a solid track.

8. South Rakkas Crew - Mad Again (Diplo's Club Edit)

Watch out for these dudes in the years to come. Who da thunk that two dudes from Toronto could make such dope DanceHall Riddims. Check their EP on iTunes called the Mix Up EP. Cooler than your Brisk Iced Tea

9. Ghostland Observitory - Dancing on my Grave

Of all people, my brother the Janster turned me onto this band and I can't get enough of em. Two dudes on Fes Keys and drum machines singing about some odd stuff, but jamming none the less.

10. Dragonette - I Get Around (Midnight Juggernauts Remix)

Never even heard the OG to this, but word is it's lame, so thank god the dudes from Midnight Juggernauts made this cool and somewhat danceable.

Hmmm, I feel like I'm forgetting something. Guess not. This ones short but I dig it and so should you so download away. ( If you can't download it for some odd reason, I would be happy to send it to you if you hit me with your address and send me a fistfull of shooters in return!)
