Sounds From Places: BLACK MAGIC

Hi. Recently, I've noticed that some people I follow on various sites (tumblr, blogs etc.) are writing about music they've been listening to. While reading them, it's inspired me to write about the stuff I've been listening to. I've actually been meaning to post about some kind of music list thing in a while, but I had too many excuses to not do stuff.  That's dumb, so I said screw it.  Here goes.  I've been listening to a lot of things, trying to expand my horizon, and some of the music I'll list below won't be everyone's cup of tea, but if you're feeling lucky, maybe press play on these songs and, like me, find something you never thought you'd enjoy before. Also, look at that, the title of the series changed again, whatever, consistency is for losers. — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — 1.

Here's a new segment I'll try to update regularly for my blog*, which is about the music I listen to knowing full well that none of this is of consequence. *  [hysterical laughing in the background] ah, this blog will (probably) never be updated again, ever. Oh, and the length of this list is arbitrary, sorry about that, I'm just gonna write until I'm satisfied or run of material (probably leaning towards the latter, because it's late and I'm sleep deprived). HERE GOES! 1. Madlib - Steppin' Into Tomorrow Genre: Hip-Hop/Jazz Year: 2003 Album: Shades of Blue For those unaware, Madlib is a hip-hop producer from California whose style is instantly recognizable to nerds those who are, at least, a little bit familiar with hip-hop production. Madlib's  production style is well established -- samples, loads of sampling. Any hip-hop geek worth their salt will instantly recognize a Madlib and proceed to bob their head in reverence.

Man, not being able to sleep is frustrating.  After all, this isn't a "hell yeah, I just passed 9th grade and I'm gonna stay up all night forever" situation, this is more like "I have a test on Monday, paper due Tuesday, and tests throughout the whole week, I forgot I was in college, and I can't sleep, my left ear itches, the newscaster on TV looks like a fun guy to hang out with, I'm thinking 100 thoughts and 0 thoughts, all at the same time." type of deal. Currently it's 3:26 A.M. It's Sunday I'll get through it, I always make it, even if it's only by the skin of my teeth. I guess that's my curse. That's how it was during high school. Anyways, Not being able to talk to the person you like is frustrating. Knowing that she's probably settled into her own rhythm, and I've probably settled into my own, also frustrating. Okay, fine, "knowing" and "probably" are at odds with each other.
