over it.

DJ Dara: Smoke from Nu York Nu Skool (Smile Communication, 1997)

Since school has started, my brain is kind of just shit. Having to read The Prince (wait, not that one) for the 19th time since preschool (true story: i did go to a military preschool on base with a bunch of haole kids...from the age of 2, no less), is not good for creativity or keeping up with blogs. Just to keep this thing going though, I figured i'd stoop to lowest common denominator (i am in a physics class, so i got think mathematickally ['k' added for emphasis]) and do the cliche guilty pleasure thing.

Since I don't have the guts to post the real real guilty stuff (read: happy hardcore), some questionable drum and bass moments from the past will have to suffice.

With this undertaking, I figure I am taking care of two things that rather desperately needed to be taken care of: (1) post on here and (2) take myself less seriously and kill the whole 'self-mythology' it seems i am attempting to construct by having this here blog. All my friends know that I really ain't cool. So this here is my admission that I'm just a tightassed nerd.

For the first track in my uncovering, I chose a song that revealed both my unexplainable soft spot for smooth contemporary jazz piano riffs and Super Nintendo RPGs. SNES RPGs? Yeah, cause that sound in this track i SWEAR is from Secret of Mana's ice country. now i really wanna play that damn game. too bad the snes is downstairs and I have to be up here with Niccolo. There are really tacky synthy cymbal hits in the track too that were mixed too high and sound off. yet, i listen.
