Respect

Saturday, October 10th, 2009

Taiwanese American Students Association had a party go down tonight. It was awesome. Off the chain. Bomb. Happenin’. It was great, and I hope they hold more of these. I’d actually join the club if I didn’t have class every Wednesday from 6-8. I was informed that they needed some music, so I happily packed up my laptop, made a playlist, and lugged my huge ass speakers along.

So I set up in the small corner and everything is going good. I’m playing some Justice to get everyone going while people show up. Some guy shows up with his laptop, and asks me if I’m playing the music. I’m like yeah, what do you wanna hear dude? He tells me he made a playlist, I ask him what’s on it. He says, “Just rap.” Is that what the idea is nowadays? Just pack as much rap into a playlist and it’ll be party music? I ask him, “Define rap. Are we talking Wu-Tang or Soulja Boy shit.” He responds, “I got that new Drake and some Jay-Z.” Okay, that’s fine. I take a look at his iTunes playlist. Rick Ross? Dr. Dre? Are we in the year 2005 again? No lie, I’m not dissing his music tastes, I blast Dr. Dre in the car all the time. But that’s exactly what it’s for. Just cause a song sounds good doesn’t mean it’s for a party. Rap is good, but you need house and Top 40 shit. But hey what do I know, I don’t know what they play in nightclubs.</sarcasm> Okay what am I thinking, I’m not even in this organization who am I to say that. I tell him, “Yeah I got most of this and I’ll play it for you.”

One song later, he comes back saying, “Hey, I got some people who wanna hear the songs I got in my playlist.” Like he spent a lot of time making it. I mean, he obviously really wants to play his music. Okay. I’ll back down, it’s your show. If people wanna hear music, and you made a playlist, why the hell am I even here. I won’t even bring up the obvious fact that the speakers are mine, they’re already here, it’s all yours dude. I pack up my laptop, forget about the music, and just get on with the shenanigans. Everything up to this point isn’t blog worthy. I’m not here to be a huge dick and force everyone to listen to my music if they don’t wanna.

So I’m discussing with my friend Joe about some good house music. Daft Punk, ATB, Aphex Twins. I thought, okay fuck this rap shit. From across the room, I shout, “HEY DJ! Play some techno for me, man! :D” This motherfucker looks me in the eye, says, “Nah man,” and waves me off with his hand. That is the most disrespectful thing anyone has ever done to me. And I’ve been puked on before (shout out to Patrick for getting someone else’s vomit on him for the first time). If you’re gonna be the music guy at a party, at least play something that somebody requests. And I’m not some drunk ass chick asking you to play some Flo Rida. I just wanted one song. Waving me off like that tells me that I have no idea what I’m talking about and you have no time for me. Don’t factor in the fact that I thought I was playing music or I brought my speakers, but could you at least do me a favor, music man to music man? You got a playlist full of fucking rap music. This ain’t a middle school dance. The reason I’m perturbed about this is that if I took over the music from somebody and that person asked me to play one song, I’d happily play it. Maybe he just doesn’t feel that way.

Or maybe I’m just expecting too much. I mean, it was just a party at a small apartment in West Campus. I shouldn’t be expecting high quality DJ shit. I just sit here and think about it, what a fucking dick. I hope you read this you piece of shit. Unless, “Nah man” and a “shoo” with your hand means something I’m not familiar with, that shit is unforgivable.

Maybe I’m the dick. Truthfully, do you think I was expecting too much, or was that just disrespectful?

Here is an example of an excellent song, but not one to play at a party. Well, it’s not rap. This is like… strolling music. Something to listen to while you gaze solemnly into the distance. Anyway, give it a listen.

Keyboard

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

I took piano lessons for a couple weeks when I was in kindergarten. I still remember the room at the old Chinese Community Center. My parents had bought me a Yamaha keyboard. It was fourteen years ago, but I still remember wheeling it out of Best Buy. Pretty sure we got it at Best Buy. Or was it Circuit City…

Either way, it’s been in storage collecting dust this whole time. I took it ouf the garage back in April of last year, but I didn’t have a chance to really play with it because of school and all that. Oh, and the fact that I don’t remember anything from those lessons. I know how to read music, but only from playing the flute in middle school band. Piano is on a different octave. I’ve got a beginner’s learning book, and I’m slowly practicing my way through it. I’m not looking to be awesomely awesome like some of my friends, who have won awards and actual cash moneys, but I just want  to learn for my own experience. I can almost play Friar Jacques! Hopefully I’ll keep up the practicing.

I’ve heard a lot of remixes of T.I.’s “Whatever You Like,” but this one actually sounds correct. The original is already a really good song, I think this remix is a good compliment.

Summer

Sunday, June 14th, 2009

Never having to do anything is great. I’ve got not obligations, no responsibilities. Catching up with old friends is a good deal too. But somehow I want the rest of my life to arrive. That’s the secret to life: you can’t hurry it.

Okay so I’m not a big basketball fan. But I’ve just gotta mention this. Anything to do with a sports team from my hometown is worth mentioning. Congratulations to the Los Angeles Lakers on winning their championship this year. However, I’d like to point out that this makes the Houston Rockets the second best team in the NBA. Keeping my fingers crossed for a healthy 2009-2010 season. And seriously, let’s trade Tracy for Dwyane Wade or something. Even Lebron.

I used to be all hyped up about MGMT and stuff, but that was before they made it onto every 13 year old girl’s iPod. This is a good track, however. I had to personally message them on Myspace to get the link. It’s funky and smooth, and got good replay value.

There were reports on the interwebs that when asked, Santigold said she doesn’t even listen to R&B. In any event, here is a track featuring Young Jeezy.

Remix After All

Sunday, May 17th, 2009

I discovered Daft Punk last fall. Shit is so cash. I’m not sure why I had never really listened to their music. But I’m not here to talk about Daft Punk themselves who are the only reason France has not been smitten off the face of the Earth. Okay, Yelle and Zinedine Zidane, too.

Some music blogs out there (the ones I troll anyway) have collaborated and compiled a remix album of songs. They set the release date for May 20, with a pre-release in low 128 kbit quality on May 19. 

Speaking of May 19, that’s the first day of summer for me. Only thing blocking me right now is this insane engineering computations final tomorrow morning. Not gonna do anything this summer, just relax and enjoy life before the ‘real world.’ Where people actually have to work and stuff in the summer. Weak.

 

These are the blogs that are choosing the remixes for each song. Definitely sounds like a good selection here.

1. Human After All [Disco Demons]
2. The Prime Time Of Your Life [Data Sapiens]
3. Robot Rock [The Cold Cut]
4. Steam Machine [Cream Team]
5. Make Love [Sheena Beaston]
6. The Brainwasher [Danger! Danger!]
7. On/Off [The Lemur Blog]
8. Television Rules The Nation [Noise Porn]
9. Technologic [Pretty Much Amazing]
10. Emotion [Binary]

If you were thinking I was gonna put up some awesome Daft Punk song up, sorry. I’m totally hooked on this song, right now, though. The only other Twelves remix I’ve heard is the Black Kid’s “I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You.” Other than being the longest ass song title ever, it’s a pretty good track.

Oh and not to hype shit up or anything, but the second Transformers movie comes out this summer. Linkin Park’s “What I’ve Done” was on the first one’s soundtrack. Well, guess who’s on the second one. This new single is out on iTunes May 18, be sure to check it out. If you can’t wait that long, there is an instrumental version below.
