on repeat: Le Motel- 45°34°50°

been a while since I got really excited having suddenly discovered (thank you 'ndsttrct) these kinda sounds by someone I'd never heard of befo. and ish is a free download on the futurenow of music known as bandcamp. ting has everything I look for in dance music both sound and rhythm wise. shit is beautiful.

[edit: I am pretty damn sure I did not publish this post. how it ended up up here and why now is a complete mystery to me, I'm also sure I looked at the blog yesterday so surely I would have spotted it?? and I am also also sure i didn't look that far back into dem damn drafts on the day. this life of glitch is becoming a little ridiculous.. and why is it this one that decided to self publish? there are quite a few among dem drafts I'd prefer to surface instead like the mo kolours one or at least one of the alex hawkins ones? jus saying jus in case. who knows. maybe I have split personality. also if I wanted to publish it I would have rewritten it completely innit which I now have done a bit. made me listen to it again which I'm quite happy about. how queer]

weekly suggestion: stop overtinking tings ft Sampha and Corey Mwamba/Joshua Blackmore/Dave Kane



this week's suggestion is a suggestion for myself. autosuggestion? I would never suggest to think less to anyone that I don't already know thinks too much in case they don't or do think enough. thinking is good mk, a lot of people should probably think more and a lot should probably think way more. but you can overdo good tings too. overthinking is what I do. full time like. not only ain't nobody paying for that, which has admittedly always en- rather than discouraged me from doing tings, but it really is counterproductive. it's debilitating, you can always think more about something before acting on what you've already got. thinking up new things also replaces acting. new ideas take the time that should be reserved for implementing the ideas that are already there. I go act. no I don't coz it's now too late and I have to leave the house. I have ovethought a perfectly good day again. damn.
it be good if people like me came in pairs one'd be thinking the other one'd be acting. or better still both would do both so it be happening at double speed and there'd still be good balance of both. it would also solve another problem I often have and am having right now: having to be in two places at the same time. anyways anyways



tried to find that post where I wax lyrical about this album and Corey Mwamba and it's not there... [sad sad face] I overthought that one too... need to trawl thru dem damn drafts at some point... I bought the album though and so should you.

weekly suggestion: Salute a Sick Drummer

[50s of annoying rambling you wanna skip then] next level sicko sicko shit. my brain hyperventilates when I watch this dude do his tings to them drums ... every time man. all them big words.



on a side rambling linguistic anecdote that will probably be lost on you if you are not where I'm from (you been warned) I still sometimes pronounce dude's name as kłaki (kwah-kee) never ceases to amuse me. kłaki. hee hee hee hee.

LIP.
