This guy Ta-Ku inspired me last month. He did a song-a-day challenge called “50 Days for Dilla” dedicated to the late great producer / beatmaker Jay Dee / J Dilla. He then went on to do “25 Nights for Nujabes,” and talked about it here on Soundcloud: I felt like emailing him to do an [...]

I wanted to publish this comment a guy named Yunuen wrote after reading a few of my posts, namely this one. Not because he’s being all complimentary, but because I want to put up my response to him as a post. I realized a few things about myself in relation to the things I really [...]

“I’ll whip up some dip if you wanna cut the carrots.” “Good. You got nuts?” “I got mixed nuts.” “Great. And what is this, cheese?” “Yeah. Oh, let’s go get a bottle of something, too.” “Nice, should we get two?” “I don’t know, do we need two? Let’s do one and then another when we’ve [...]
Would be a quote from me if I were addressing a bunch of young artistic types in an auditorium somewhere… But really, that is how I feel. That is what I keep telling myself. I don’t want to limit myself of confuse things by choosing a medium. I started NaNoWriMo basically thinking “I am going to [...]
The first spirit-crushing episode of college: When I was a freshman in college on the west coast, after half a year of not taking my class too seriously, the teacher sat me down in an evaluation and suggested I leave school. My professor, Chuck, asked me “What do you want to do? What are [...]
