Sound Experiment

first things first;

accept my apologies for not staying up to date, on this here blog. You know when life catches up to you, prioritization becomes inevitable, and when you have to prioritize some things get the back burner treatment. Not like sharing isnt important to me...but anyway.....for the second time, welcome me back.

I will be adding a new feature to the blog; called World Update. World update will be my oppurtunity to share news items that interest me. I hope I dont loose any friends in the process.

Ok down to business.

Being having crazy thoughts lately, and then I got the new Lil Wayne cd,The Carter III (...told you I listen to everything), its actually quite good. As I listened to the tracks, Comfortable stood out to me. In an almost playful way it mirrored the way i have being felling about a particular special somebody in my life, however a tad bit exaggerated. But at the time i couldn't think of any song that summed up my mind-state, better. At the least, having this song on constant rotation is a way of brushing my shoulders off.

The Carter III, is the thrd installment in a series starting with The Carter released in 2004. The Carter is widely acclaimed as the turning point in Wayne's career, as his flow an delivery showed massive improvements from previous albums.

World Update:

This might be too little too late: Nigeria moves to end oil conflict

A combination of ongoing police brutality, governmental insensitivity, biased media coverage and the racial context in which these phenomena operate has me feeling really angry right now. Sean Bell joins the array of many in this country that have suffered unduly in the hands of the police. I was watching a particular news channels coverage of this story last night and the reporter totally disgusted me, I will stop short of rehashing his comments because they were that painful to digest.

At this moment this record by J Dilla precisely portrays how I feel. I don't now if and which album this song was featured on but it is one of my Dilla gems and it works perfectly right know. Plus, I have learnt that music can be very effective as a conduit to express how I feel and also provide some clarity. Of course I have my opinion about this whole fiasco, but let the music speak.

Peace.

F*#k the police

I hope this empowers someone to take a stand, or sit the f@*k down (taking a stand can be as simple as calling a spade a spade.)
