Mix Plate

Because I am in a Hawaii mood after eating at hukilau in SF and because a check will soon be in my bank account, i decided to go all bananas and make one any kine entry. So here it is, one MP3 mix plate: hawaiian, black album reject, classics, and an instance of sample mastery...let's go:

Track 7 (my bad for not knowing the name) off of the Black Album Rejects 'Bootleg' (courtesy of Lambo)...I didnt put this on here because I really like it. Sure, the chop is effective and the sample is well chosen...but 9th...GIVE US A BREAK! Give fruity loops a rest and beat up an MPC for fun, I promise you'll like it. Ok, "Church" is tight, and you have killed it on occasion. just give us the good shit. NOW! oh, yeah..the main reason i posted is cause when i first heard it, all i could think was "MF DOOM-lite"...which brings me to:

"Coffin Nails" by Sir MF DOOM (all caps) from Special Herbs 4, 5, & 6 (dude has his own page at the lab). I played this beat at a party with a bunch of Asian American/Pilipino American/Pacific Islander Progressives and they all wanted to jump into an Iroc Z and go knock some skulls. Add your own vocals, whatever, I can listen to this nonstop. The breakdown with just that bassline and the tweaking beat? straight shaky. MPCs rule, Acid/Fruity Loops drool.

Jeff Chang posted a Gabby Pahinui entry on Can't Stop Won't Stop, with an accompanying MP3 at Sticker Shock, and i was kinda bummed that somebody repped Gabby before me, but im more glad now cause there is goodly knowledge dropped there. I changed my mind and chose "Pu'uanahulu." It's about lofty cliffs and yellow birds...and of course, hawaii. For me, it is one of those songs that if i let it, could totally leave me bawling my brains out, cause im a sissy like that...actually, no it isn't that: It is a beautiful piece of music.

lastly, and because i heard an Omni Trio track on kalx this morning, i was reminded of the (what i might consider now) cheesy classic london jungle tunes that informed my listening in 4th grade....i forgot that i listened to this stuff along with the sub base madness. In any case "31 Seconds" from Origin Unknown is just cheesy enough. I would have posted Renegade Snares, but it is TOO classic. Both these tracks are on Speed Limit 140 Plus 4. man...Moonshine ran things.
