Past Participle

It has been a while. Our bad. Although speakeasy kind of made up for it. Pssh. Excuses, excuses.

At any rate, if you don't know DJ Format, you better get on that train. He's a whole mess of freshness, having produced two albums and a Fabric Live compilation. A frequent collaborator with Abdominal and D-Sisive, he just put out a new single, a mix-blend, if you will, of a bunch of James Brown tracks.

The moral of this story is that funk is back, in a big way. Or maybe it isn't. Then again, was it ever gone in the first place?

Energy Drinks, Academia and Perversion

It's 5am. I'm alone in the library save for the companionship of some obscure movies and books, many empty cans of energy drinks and an unwritten paper that makes my brain feel like ouchies. Oh! There's also this A Clockwork Orange soundtrack my friend gave me (to keep me on the sane side). Well anyway, all work and no play makes a speakeasy delusional--so delusional that he went and spent the last half hour mashing ghetto tech with various songs on this wonderful soundtrack. Why? I really don't know. I'm soo sorry, world. So yeah...that's my confession, I took a perfectly good song and brought more perversion than Pee Wee Herman's Playhouse. I'll save you the time of finding out if its any good: its horrible. I put about as much effort into it as I have this paper tonight--and yet in my cracked out state, I can't help but laugh at this monstrosity. So here you go...another silly mashup:

Catching up.

It's been a while...sorry. Hope everyone had a good winter. I've been busy failing out of school, bullshitting: watching pretentious movies, smoking endless cigarettes, and getting addicted to lost and the wire. Yes, that's right, I like lost. Yes, it is a good show. No, YOU'RE a loser. Anyway, here's some shit I've been working on over the cold months:

Sympathy for the Devil (spkEz Bmore Glitch Edit)
Goin' Down (spkEz remix)
Kick out the Sweet Child (Guns and Roses vs. Dave Nada)
Rock Steady (Steady Rockin' spkEz edit)
Bongos on the Ground (Rye Rye vs. Zongamin)
Cranque Dat (MSTRKRFT vs. Soulja Boy vs. Frederico Franchi)
Hood Nigga (spkEz rough remix)

And a mixtape I just put together...Winter '08

--Glad that's off my chest.

Love, speakeasy.
