It's my birthday, and well, yeah, this is the song I choose.
On a different note, I've been known to do a wicked impression of this, but I'd never actually seen this clip. Talk about a bygone era.

Loading... LA Lakers @ Minnesota 8:30pm
TV: ESPN, My29
a modest win streak has place the Lakers (10) ahead of the slumping Wolves (12) in the West. The Wolves come in with a healthier roster than this time last week, but also have a 5 game losing streak. Speaking of losing streaks, the Lakers have beat the Wolves 19 straight times (and 23 out 24). the roster from the last Wolves win is amazing.

Well, today starts a new month. Yep, we have our WGOM Fitness Month that starts on the 15th, but this other, less popular calendar has a new month starting today, so I thought we'd recap. Continue reading WGOM Fitness: 1 February 2013, An Accounting
Why does time speed up so much as we get older? That's a little unfair, isn't it?

List day!
1. Last week I mentioned the beat I made (back in 1999 or 2000) combining James Brown and Iannis Xenakis. Well, here it is, for your listening and downloading pleasure. The James Brown and funky drumming is obviously from "Funky Drummer", and the strings and horns are from ST-X Ensemble's 1996 recording of "Kraanerg" (which was released on Asphodel).
1b. I believe this was all done in Pro Tools. One of my driving inspirations was trying to break the software.
1c. The version that I rapped Slick Rick's "Children's Story" over is the last 40 seconds or so on loop. I've found on cassette with my distorted vocal take on it. Not sure if or how I'll ever share it. I need to remember to never sing when there are people around me that could hear it.
1d. I do have a few more things that I did back then that I might like to share. Some is on another CD I have yet to find.
2. Off to see Soundgarden at the Orpheum Tomorrow night.
3. Local Group the Bad Bad Hats have a new EP out. I find it quite enjoyable, and the price can't be beat.
4. Earlier this week, Zack had me craving New Kingdom at a point where there was none on my iPod. Fixed that, but that first day was tough.
stop your messin' around.
