After months of having an empty account, FlyLo has gone on an uploading binge posting 13 tracks (including a beat for Elzhi, remixes of Massive Attack/Mr. Oizo/Bjork, a new one from Thundercat's upcoming Flying Lotus produced LP- The Golden Age of the Apocalypse, and many unreleased pieces) to Soundcloud in the past 48 hours.  I'm hoping that he uses the Cloud as a medium for some of his more obscure tracks (streaming is fine!) from here on out.  Anyhow, if you happen to be in NYC next Monday...

Christmas has always been one of those holidays thats enjoyment and worthiness is based on how well your wish list was tended to.  My wishlist was always a collection of extremely wishful desires (sometimes impossible ones), of which only about 40% became realities.  Once I caught on to the fact that my ratio will forever be imbalanced because of my spacey ass imagination, Christmas started to become more like Easter... a holiday I am reluctant to celebrate. Strange enough, I didn'...

Well, I now present you with my first CD.  I did it all using Garageband, an SM-57 microphone + SHURE interface, a shed, and all of my friends' support.  It took me 3 months to complete and in doing so I faced a barrage of challenges pertinent to maintaining balance.  My biggest challenge now and down the road is [going to be] upkeeping my relationship with Crista, and that is a problem I am currently brainstorming a resolution for.  Anyhow, this was my first test, and now I know how much emo...

As if I were sitting on the toilet for minutes on end, I've been sitting at a desk pushing to get this CD finalized and ready for distribution.  I've put so much energy into this piece of art that in doing so I have become a zombie of some sort... anyhow, it'll be ready soon... very soon.  I hope that it spreads, after all it will be 19 more free songs that I'll be giving the world...

Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.  Luck runs out.  Preparation requires organization.  Opportunities can be seized or passed on.  I failed to recognize that when all of these truisms are incorporated into your daily life they can help you be the person you want to be.  

I was presented with the opportunity to give my favorite artist, Flying Lotus, a gift of my appreciation for his musical production abilities.  I failed to follow through with this plan, even after I had been ranting ...

So...the past 2 weeks have been very exciting for me.  Being a lyricist, it's always a struggle to find someone to assist you in making original music.  The past projects I have been working on have been remixes, I've just been grabbing beats from musicians like J Dilla, Mad Lib, Soul Position, RJD2, and Flying Lotus to make music that everybody can listen to.  So anyways, the dudes name is Joe, he is a Filipino, and makes some of the sickest beats I have ever heard.  I feel like him and I ha...
