Challenging yourself is easy.

Living up to that challenge is hard.

I told myself last month that
- I'd make electronic/hiphop beats/do something musically creative at least once a day on average aaaand...
-I'd try to finish a room in my basement by the end of the year.

I fell a little short.
Not by too much;
I made 23 songs(and I won't stop until I reach 30).

Forcing yourself to be creative is kind of awesome, and I started thinking about all types of music and what not and I started making dirty south beats with black metal/classical type synth riffs, actually playing guitar instead of sampling it, listening to tons and tons of vinyl that I hated only to pick out awesome things to sample.

Once I get them mp3ed and up,
you will hear the best of my beats from the last month.


...and the basement, is a looming task that is hard to do alone.
I've cleaned, murdered my father's drill, had fun with spray insulation/filler, destroyed a bookcase and file cabinet, and went to town chiseling and hammering brick away.
I'm far from finished.
MEH.

"Y'all don't know my struggle
Y'all can't match my hustle
You can't catch my hustle
You can't fathom my love dude
Lock yourself in a room doin' five beats a day for three summers
That's a different world like Kree Summers
I deserve to do these numbers
The kid that made that deserves that Maybach
So many records in my basement
I'm just waitin' on my spaceship..."


it will be cool to hear your stuff!

I have been meaning to re-learn guitar for the last year or so but continually put it off. Hearing that you wrote 23 songs in the last month makes me feel like a giant lazy-ass, and I consequently vow that I will play tomorrow and every day afterward until I have regained my former level of aptitude.

That's actually a fun activity.

i recently decided to stop taking my mood altering drugs. At least the ones that keep me down. i ran out for a few days and after the cleansing felt much better and more energetic.

my artistic brain is on now and ready to fire. you look so manic in your pics, pretty pretty princess. we should hang until my head bursts.
