A good weekend.
Highlights... getting new records and also talking to one of my very best friends whom I had not spoken to in quite some time... We used to be a DJ team in Orlando years ago... Got so much good energy from speaking to him, it was like old times. We talked about what records we have been buying, what labels are doing well, and up and coming producers... He said he wants to come out and mess me up on the decks.. lol... it will be a battle for sure!! We are going to trade mixed CDs back as soon as my newest one is done...
Also hit up a few record shops in LA... kind of a bummer. I expected more, something like Breakbeat Science in NYC, but I guess LA does not have a really sick DNB store... So I am going to order most of the new promos I want from the UK, home of DNB... Its all good. I did manage to find 5 records on my list, so it was not a total loss.. and one store I went to has a BBQ tonight, so I am going to that in a few minutes... TEMPLE OF BOOM....
I also go my pics back from the last time I as in NYC and also Chicago... they are good, but a few are funny... ahhh camera fun..... Gotta get a scanner so I can post them or something... My folks also sent my photo album which I had thought to be lost, so thats great. There is a pic of me at 16 on the tables... dyed red long hair... hahahaha... oh man, I remember being that guy so well. Couldn't match a record to save my life, but I always had fun... I would love to go back in time and give positive words of encouragement to myself because I used to be harsh on myself that I was not as good as I wanted to be on the decks... stupid to be that way.
OK...... I am going to finish my green tea, scratch on the decks for one beat and then motivate out the door to this BBQ deal..........

ooh, I checked out a cd of this band called, "The Postal Service"... its pretty different from what I normally listen to, but its pretty smooth... The friend who recommended it has asked me to program some beats and mail them to him... sort of how TPS does, because I guess they live far away from each other and mail stuff through the postage service, hence their name... Should be interesting, my friend is a crazy good all around musician.
