Start of a new day…or end of a fantastic one??

Tycho fit the mood well…I’m glad I had my iPod

Miles/Coltrane

So good

Snack time, some tunes, and some lowness

I’m finishing up some tests for my Jr. High kids here at work and snagged a quick snack to keep my energy up. Rum raisin Pino, tuna mayo onigiri, and the coffee that always makes me think of Simba…sorry I’m racist!

Also need something in the ears to keep the momentum going:

And recent pic of Masa’s Cervo for fun:

Oldies

Phil’s post sent me wayyyy back, and so I threw together this playlist of songs that remind me of Jr. High and High School summer breaks. Sitting at home watching Daisy Fuentes on The Grind and just riding the bmx everywhere. Good times.

OG

3LLL

Some of you may have seen Phil’s blog over in my blogroll, but he makes some kick-ass music. Look for a true album soon, but for now you can listen and buy from his Fuzz page! One of my favorite tracks is “Project 28” , give it a listen! Just click play and listen to the mix tape.

back in the day….

just one of those days….rings so true

and some new flavor…Rakim, Nas, and KRS One will always be three of the best on the mic

“When they do make the car you like, your chips ‘aint right…by the time you can afford it the car ‘aint important”….nice. Thanks to Logan over at OG for the find.

Good find!

Was browsing at Tower downtown last night, and ran across Emancipator’s new album….good stuff!

Emancipator – Shook (Mobb Deep/Sigur Ros)

Check out the whole album, it’s all just as good!

Rethinking A Sense of Purpose

A few months ago, I had been really waiting for the new In Flames release A Sense of Purpose. At the time I had been listening to Come Clarity like a madman and when the new album hit I didn’t really dig it. If I can’t listen to an album straight through at least two times, I consider it a dud. Well over the past few months I have had TONS of time to listen to music on my 30-40 minute commute to and from school each day. A few weeks ago I decided to give In Flames another chance to wow me. Long story short, I’m really glad I gave it a spin (and listened to you guys who told me I was in the wrong) because I have really really grown to like this album. Granted it has a different tone/pace than Come Clarity, it has its own sound that I really got into. Attached are two tracks that as of late I like the best (i.e. have the highest play count on my iPod):

Hat trick for Massa in Turkey

Felipe Massa took the pole and held off valiant efforts by Hamilton to take his 3rd Turkish in a row. Again, I had to “watch” the race via Formula1.com’s live timing system. I had high hopes for Heikki who qual’d in 2nd..but nothing is really going his way this year it seems. I glad he is in the car though, after his crash last round. Thanks to a tip by Dom, I hope to be able to actually see these races soon!

Now all I need to do is also find out how to catch next weeks Italian round of the WRC…
