Summertime and the living is easy

Post HSC. Leaving for schoolies at Byron in a few hours. Summer is upon us. LIFE IS SWEET. 
Anyway I basically spent all of monday and tuesday in my room trying to meld together a feel-good summer mix with some of my favourite summer anthems. Most of the tracks in the mix are pretty poppy/synthy so if you don't like that kind of music then this mix is probably not for you. Also a big thanks to my brother whom I've stolen a lot of these tracks from (and probably half my itunes library) over the years. Enjoy the first of hopefully a number of summer mixes.

If there is a peace, I continue the serious speech...

Alrighty, so it's been a while since I finished writing my Major Work short story and I thought it was about time I shared it with this here small audience of my blog. Suprisingly, apart from a few painful sections of dialogue, I was actually pretty happy with it. But don't let that stop you from being brutally honest with me; constructive criticism is still appreciated, as I would like to continue writing and making little projects here and there. Well enough pre-game babble, let's get into it-

Opposable Thumbs by Joseph Bautista

Pretty much the same version as I submitted to BOS, typos and all. The only things I added were my name and a bit of a self-satirising intro to go with the coversheet. Hope y'all enjoy it more than my markers have, and if you do read it please tell me what you think in the comments!

Another reflection.

In mourning of Jun Seba's death celebration of his life, the official tribute album has been released.Taking a slight flip on the Modal Soul Classics namesake, the tracks here seem to primarily be by those Nujabes himself influenced, rather than songs and artists that influenced he. Amongst these tracks are covers and personalised tributes, including Five Deez remixing Latitude; one of my favourite beats by Nujabes. A highlight definitely has to be the Reflection Eternal cover by Clammbon - a Japanese group cited as one of Jun's influences in the first Modal Soul Classics (Folklore/Imaginary Folklore) returning to pay back their own respect. Not to mention the eye opener intro track by Pase Rock. Shivers down the spine, man.

Was never sliced bread or the wheel reinvented

Just a couple kids with some dreams tryna kick it

See You Later HSC

Well HSC is over for everyone now so we can all rejoice, kickback and knock back a few cold ones. Plenty of mixes to drop and plenty more good times to be had.

Amen to that

COURAGE MOTHERFUCKING WOLF

SO CLOSE TO END OF HSC!!

 

Holy shit.

 

 Kokayi - Robots & Dinosaurs 

Man, QN5 is killing it. If the QK10 Plan ends up anywhere near fruition, this year will be absolutely ball-shattering. Anyway, I'm not even halfway through this album but I just knew I had to blog it. Completely overshadowed the new Cee-Lo leak I found out about today (Death Is Silent still in heavy rotation, though). 

Oh yeah and I wont be uploading it since I heard the label's going through a rough patch. And you better believe once I get a job I'll be getting that Paleo-Pack. Here's a free download they released already, though.
