What the title says. A long time ago, as my excuse for now forward links to the new blog (which has been having quite little activity over the past months) is the hecticness of the school year. BUT I'm happy to say that has been wrapper up and now we both shall do our best to create more content. If you enjoyed this blog, I hope you'll keep enjoying it, even despite the changes (which were supposed to be positive)

Roots Garden Records
Okay! Finally!
For some stupid reason I couldn't log into the blog anymore for about a month, but I'm back. Since my main input to this seems to be posting youtube links as if nobody else would know that site, but if nobody minds I would be up for continuing that.
I have a feeling this will be the song of summer for me, from the exquisite Roots Garden label and mixed/produced by Nick Manasseh. Look up those two, I find Roots Garden one of the better reggae labels, who also have the amazing Bob Skeng on their playlist. Enjoy!

Jen Titus - O Death
One of the coolest portrayals of the Four Horsemen I've ever seen was (surprisingly so) in Supernatural's fifth season. The series itself isn't at the top of my list but the subjects it addresses are so incredibly capturing that I can't stop watching it.
Anyway, this track was playing when Death was walking in slow-motion through the steers in one of the episodes. There is something quite haunting about this song, hence its appearance here.

SPAIN'S FLAWLESS VICTORY
I feel like I should almost be sad for Italy... It was so obvious that Spain was going to win, they're simply too awesome.
A definite plus: Torres is still cute, even after all these years... Actually, even more so with his kids!

Roman Holiday
I thought Nicki Minaj had flipped out with all the way-too-colourful appearance but then I took a while to go through Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded and it's actually quite good. It's not one of those albums where each song is mind-blowingly good but it is very dancy and thus suits perfectly the summer of 2012. She's a good and energetic artist, in my opinion, thus she shall have a spot on our blog! ~__^

Gonjasufi - Live in MaZ, Bruges
A couple of days ago I went to see my long time hero Gonjasufi. He played in the Magdalena-zaal (MaZ) in Bruges last Sunday and although I live on the other side of Belgium (okay, not THAT impressively far but still) I just had to go. I read on some sites that his shows are either bad or really good but he played a great set, personally I would dare to put it in my top 2 list of greatest shows I've seen so far. He played a lot of his hits - as far as he's known widely- but then again in my opinion every of his songs is fucking great.
What amazed me just as much however was the extreeeeeeeeeeeemely (I have no vocabulary in any language that could've prevented that much e's) awesome music the DJ's played during the show, when Gonjasufi, real name Sumach Ecks, disappeared into the dark/smoke. In combination with a fair amount of Polish wodka and Dutch smoke for the occasion the music nearly got me in a trance I have rarely had before.
It was kind of uncomfortable when he made a comment on how few people were at the venue, saying he came all the way from the Desert (okay, awesome) and that we would all come just from across the street, and the fact that the crowd, including me, didn't get all of the references to his own underground music scene kind of put a distance between him and the audio. I didn't expect that since he always seemed like a very inspiring and wise person in interviews I read of him.
I fixed the short uncomfortable feeling it brought by dancing harder and telling myself I was one of the cool guys.
It worked. I danced my ass off. All this made me collect all my courage together so I approached the sound engineer and asked him for a job (not just randomly anything, I'm not unqualified). Too bad I didn't get the job but I did go home having had a bro-fist (FUCKING AWESOME), a beer and a smoke with Gonjasufi. The fact that he knew my name (or okay, part of it) made my head spin even more. I do know that artists are just artists and that getting backstage and approaching them is kind of lame but I couldn't help it. Gonjasufi, you're a huge influence and inspiration and I can't wait to see you again. That show was amazing.

P.S.: I will keep asking you until I will tour with your crew. I promise.

This song! So endlessly beautiful!
Childish Gambino and Beck - Silk Pillow
Unexpected collaboration but it seems to work. Childish Gambino & Beck with Silk Pillow. Beck's oddness with Gambino's pop tunes, it's as if they decided to make music between my and Isa's taste. Lol
But now I wonder, where in the world did these two meet?

Eye of the Tiger Supernatural style
Jensen Ackles's epic "performance". I really hate that I've gotten addicted to this show but it has freaking angels in it! Everything with angels will get my attention. Anyway, sweet ending for the episode and an even more sweet smile from Dean. Hah.
