Y’all gotta cigarette?
Please forgive me for yesterday’s transgression… Here is proof of my repentance.
The full song has been uploaded here on YT and here on Soundcloud.
The original clip is mesmerizing because it’s totally believable…. Of course, a little digging never hurts when something looks too perfect. Here’s an explanation behind the original Vine that started it: “Y’all Got A Cigarette?” Vine | What’s Trending Now

Music Lesson
Classic
I’m in the middle of editing a particularly confusing English translation of an academic paper for publication. I usually decline work like this, but the client agreed to a generous hourly wage (it makes more sense than charging per page), so here I am, slogging it out all weekend. I hate doing work like this when the kids are home, because all I want to do is play with them and there are constant distractions.
Anyway, I had a sudden need to hear Mariah’s first album in all its Vision of Lovingestlyish glory, so I fired up the music transmogrifier and the tunes instantly flowed from my PC’s speakers… Took me back to listening to the Carpenters in my dad’s VW beetle decades ago, and I realized that there is a similar gap between musical generations – Mariah’s first album was released 24 years ago!!! Holy shit, I am old.
And now, back to the grindstone.
UPDATE #1: Let me be very specific. I keep playing one specific loop from a single song, to chase the bad English away. This one: http://youtu.be/I3_cOYvvjog?t=4m05s
UPDATE #2: Note to self – Future mashup:
“All In Your Technicolor, Blurring the Mind” by White Carey
Tracks:

UPDATE #3: Now I got myself stuck listening to Astrocreep 2000 while editing bad English and it’s not going so well..
Falling down I am a psychoholic
Erratic and sure I cannot fail
Replay slow smooth and automatic
Go easy riding danger
Yeah – two guns west I ride an instamatic
Polaroid rat crucifixion nail
Antenna down cruising in the deep red
Mouth of a demon angelGET IT ON!
GET IT ON!
GET IT ON!
GET IT ON!
Couple of music links
Just kinda testing again after all the problems I’ve been having here:
Sun Ra – Historic master tapes, stampers, and mothers auction on ebay
Somebody needs seed money for a microdot startup! “Which might or might not be Sun Ra’s. ” Classic.
Cry Baby: The Pedal That Rocks The World
One of the best street performers I ever saw in Japan used an electric shamisen and a Cry Baby; that was the day I had to sell my Groovebox.
Traditional Cambodian Music: Land Mine Victim Band
A video I took amongst Khmer ruins on a hot, hot day.
Kutiman cuts up Tokyo
This is the dope shit for real:
Sarakham Music
Taro came over a few weeks ago, and we stopped by a recently-opened music shop while the kids were at Tae Kwon Do. It’s the largest music store in Sarakham with possibly legit big brand stock, and also has 5 studio rooms in the back. The owner is super-friendly and let Taro try out the gaudiest German electric I’ve ever seen.

Sony hates you.
“Last Friday, Sony Music sent Gummy Soul a cease and desist order for Amerigo Gazaway’s “Bizarre Tribe: A Quest To The Pharcyde”.”
Sony just doesn’t get it:
They don’t know how to make good products anymore.
They don’t understand “fair use.”
They don’t know how to get back all the loyal customers they chased away over the years…
It seems they only want to make a last few bucks before Samsung and Apple and all the other companies who do get it (a little better, at least) collectively piss on their grave.
Die, Sony, die.
By the way, the album mentioned above is simply sublime.
