Cause I’m a hustla, baby. September 10, 2009

 
Not sure how to finish a story I can’t find the words for, so back, back, back to writing about music. If you really want me to finish why I took a 5-month break that changed my life, email me, otherwise, hope you enjoy.
My brother tells me this is Cameroon’s spring jam of 2009. This is [...]

Made entirely of. September 4, 2009

Was going to finish my story, but decided instead to give y’all my favorite tracks from two up-and-coming Nashville artists.
The first, a girl, Madi Diaz, whose voice has the most killer electric curves and is fully brimmed with mid-20’s anticipation. I guess you could call hers a smiling sound, wet from when we weren’t [...]

How-To. September 2, 2009

There are some experiences that put you firmly in “before it happened” and “after it happened” territory. Experiences that define how you look at the world. And they always seem to be experiences that you never saw coming. That was the five-month break I took from You, Me & Everyone and these are the journal [...]

Broke and Break-Free. September 1, 2009

Shook and Shaked. August 31, 2009

There are some experiences that put you firmly in “before it happened” and “after it happened” territory. Experiences that define how you look at the world. And they always seem to be experiences that you never saw coming. That was the five-month break I took from You, Me & Everyone and these are the journal entries.

Bananas. March 20, 2009

I’m writing these words in the middle of a meeting at 2:55 in the afternoon, because writing, like other intimate pursuits, often occurs at random times. As I type each word, I come to care about how it will be read — about you, there, reading it, even if I’m pretending to listen to what’s [...]

Oranges. March 19, 2009

So, I’m sitting at work, right, and it’s 2:00 and I’m noticing that I’m starting to get hungry because I eat every two-three hours. I start thinking about food, and I hear my co-worker say “Mandarin Oranges!” Not weird or anything, but then, I see her hand poke out and then the rest of her, [...]

Hotness. March 18, 2009

So, after a week of no e-mail and a lost phone (which I use to check e-mail), I literally opened my inbox today with a broom. This lead to many e-mails getting swept up into snowy piles, but I promise that if you sent me a release or a request for a listen, I’ll make [...]

Tomorrow. March 17, 2009

New post up tomorrow when I get a chance to get through a week’s worth of e-mail and “work” off a hangover. At my desk. Literally. Also, what’s up with Hype Machine? Is it broken?
