"How To Start a Chillwave Band"

Wed, 28 Jul 2010 12:54:00 -0600

How to Record a Chillwave Track: Think positive thoughts, go to the beach, record a quirky, gently offbeat song, and ensure you use plenty of looping and synth effects. Edit. OK, now play the full song underwater and record at the same time. Discard first beachside recording and keep second underwater version. Upload onto your computer. Add a moody melody and ensure you use an echo effect at times. Now loop something random. Yep. And filter again. You’re done!

“GIVE YOU MORE (remix)” (The XX sample) - Sucka Free CJ, 2010

Sucka Free (middle)

now music music, take me far away from here
take a young man, take him, out the gate from here
now what is music’s recipe?
i’m guessing its the rest of me i’m getting off my chest:
see i aint a black dude but i got many to rap
never been a trap dude but my weight ready to pack
cake ready to batter the latter of notes we sung
finer with a minor than major of things to come
now see i’m tryna find a balance of music and things of life
but habits’ll break balance and use it to flee the light
i’m usually eating right, and new to me is the bright
i’m typically getting drunk and finishing with a blunt…right?
i see the end it’s coming
never been fluent in jumping
so i strap my rocket check my pockets and tell earth its nothing
i’ll make my world of something
thank bach for symphonies
then tell my music i’ll come to it with lyrics like these…please

now if my mind aint kushing then my pen aint gushing
if my rhymes stayed phat it’s typically for the pushing
only space time can rewind my actions
regretting is a weapon the devil is packing
so i keep on shooting
pray my feet are moving
and fuck falling in line i’m tryna be the movement
if i speak one moment
i can hear this music breathing
inhale what i’m believing and to hell with reasons, im singing
(hey oh, hey hey hey oh oh)
wish i coulda given you more than my first name
they say it’s best not to bet, if your wager’s the same, i’m sayin
i see beginnings opening
last lap potential folding
so i straighten my tie push hate aside and grab this mic i’m holding
i guess it’s life i’m molding
music will give two doors
but i board that train get back on track to give this music more…sure

i know its been a while since we’ve spoken a lot
and i aint had the same smile, i aint joking a lot
but still, i’m using letters with a rhetoric end
whether or not, doing better and my medicine’s friends
now i dont see a lot signs, i know youre busy and cool
but if you ever have the time please, visit me too
i know youre planning a lot, and richer than diamond head
but i aint planning to stop, these voices inside my head
wish i coulda give you more than my first name (x4)
it’s day 40 (x4)
she ain’t really put it down for me
but she is living through my veins, in every ounce of me
i know she wanna see her son where all the mountains be
i say the truth will only show what youre allowed to see
i see your spirit shining
never had the best of timing
but if i rock this mic this clock might like my gift of honest rhyming
so count me on it, im in
i’ll work this weather on
i swear this music is the sweetest thing ive ever known…it’s a better home

…right?

BOYCOTT BILL MURRAY FOR A BETTER AMERICA

Mon, 26 Jul 2010 23:52:22 -0600

BOYCOTT BILL MURRAY FOR A BETTER AMERICA:

ChristWire:

America needs to boycott Bill Murray and do it now! Peel back the layers of this aging man: slapstick comedian, jaded movie star, imperious intellectual, notorious bon vivant, restless wanderer in the dark, slick self-promoter… Have you reached the core yet? Is he hollow? Or has Bill Murray come to the grand revelation himself that he is desperately clawing against his own mortality with half-hearted sexual perversion and intellectual degeneracy, wandering drunken through the night, without passion or direction, already lost to the game of life. He is defeat. He has given up making meaningful gestures of faith or righteousness to instead nest in those small moments of self-satisfaction before he slips into the quiet bosom of obscurity. There is no denying that this grotesque and dangerous creature can be described as nothing less than one of the four horsemen of America’s impending Apocalypse.

Guernica, Picasso, 1937

Guernica shows the tragedies of war and the suffering it inflicts upon individuals, particularly innocent civilians. This work has gained a monumental status, becoming a perpetual reminder of the tragedies of war, an anti-war symbol, and an embodiment of peace.

The Afghan War Diary is the most significant archive about the reality of war to have ever been released during the course of a war. The deaths of tens of thousands is normally only a statistic but the archive reveals the locations and the key events behind each most of these deaths. We hope its release will lead to a comprehensive understanding of the war in Afghanistan and provide the raw ingredients necessary to change its course.
