My gosh! Songs like these were just so ahead of their time. I grew up with Aaliyah. I had a little R&B/Hip Hop song that we had written to the Back N Forth Instrumental, and used to perform at Under 18 Parties way back in the days.
Aaliyah would be my age now, and was always a celebrity crush of mine. Today it is 10 years since she was lost to the world. Rest in Peace.
Here are some remixes of her stuff that I think are actually good.
Happy fun times. The might Thundamentals join us for talk and rapping. Plus we play some of our favourite Outkast and Dungeon Family classics and get into some future beats from the future.

I was holding this post till the dubstep remix came out. You know the one with the inappropriate, over the top, brain hemorrhaging bass drops. It seems that any time a big track drops it is followed by a gang of remixes by hungry young music producers looking for attention. Some awesome. Some totally unnecessary. I will let you and your liking abilities be the judge of these two.

Damn! My photoshop skillz are off the chain. I need to start taking design work. So… ah yeah… I do a weekly Sunday party at this fine establishment by the name of Ching-a-lings. It is a nice place for a chilled drink, good music and maybe some light dancing in Sydney. This week it is R&B themed with special guest DJs ANK1A and Wendy Samantha.
When you think this video couldn’t get any more awesome the mummy appears. I think I have a new hero. I love the poses he makes every time he says ‘Tell em what I am’. The one at 1:43 seconds is the best. I think I will spend today just practicing that.

Lanie Lane. If you don’t know, you definitely will soon. Her music is a mix of blues, country, rockabilly, soul and folk, and the few tracks she has available have left me in anticipation of her album being released in October. She swung by the studio for some light conversation and a live performance.

Another day much like the one before, Totoro finds himself at the bus stop with the other Nine to Fivers. They all wait patiently for the Cat Bus to take them to their respective places of employment. On today’s journey, Totoro found himself additively listening to this J Cole song over and over again.
I love the line… “I made Jesus Walks I’m never going to hell”. Ah… sorry Kanye. I’m not a religious man, but I am pretty sure it doesn’t work like that. Make a song about Jesus and then you get a green light from the authorities in heaven to engage in whatever debauchery tickles your fancy.
