Colin’s Blog

so like I just realized I haven’t posted anything here in ages. Partly because I’m just pure lazy and also the fact that I’m now extremely hooked on twitter and would rather post little 145 character or less messages. Anyways not much to say again other then the fact that I’ve really been  getting into hip hop again lately. For awhile there i was nearly loosing interest in it and gradually turning towards electronic music or reggae. This was however when I was just listened to plain old rappers over instrumentals. Recently I have discovered that DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist did a mix project together called the Hard Sell which is a mix of nothing but old random 45 records. I really loved it and now am hooked on turntable music trying to find as much similar recordings as possible. In fact I discovered that Cut himself performed live recently in San Francisco at the dna lounge which broadcasts their shows online so I downloaded that and have been listening to it as well. I must say I love this raw style of hip and the whole beat digging culture which is exactly what real hip hop is about as well as what it was originally before the days of the emcee or rappers.
