Box wearer.

So just a little insight to my daylight life, I work at a doctor's office so by default I have to confine to the uniformity of medical attire aka scrubs, or as my coworker Adri and I call them: boxes. While biking to work this morning, my ceil blue scrub pant leg got caught in the gears (since they're so darn baggy) and ripped a hole, so I had to go looking online for some new ones. I mean, they have to really try hard to make them look this bad. You can make normal, decent looking clothes without much effort. But these......good Lord, these....
You just naturally fold into the shape of a cardboard box upon slipping them on. And they come in various horribly solid colors, OR! you can make like a nursery wall and get them in "prints."

REALLY. I mean really. And as if things couldn't be anymore unflattering, someone decided it was a great idea to make clogs the official footwear to just finish the piece off.



Ok, ok, ok. That was my vent for the night. On a lighter note, I've graciously been added to the JazzyFatNasty DJ roster and scheduled to spin there the first Friday of every month. And seeing that tomorrow just happens to be included in that series of first Fridays you can catch me there this weekend with Kidragon, who will be blessing the decks with a special tribute set to David Axelrod, whose Timelss perfomance (with opening set by J.Rocc) was unfortunately canceled this weekend (DEVASTATION!). I was suuuuuuper bumbed, especially since I missed the previous Timeless performance by Arthur Verocai, one of the greatest Brazilian musicians ever, when he performed 2 weeks ago thinking Axelrod was the prize. Ah well. Looks like I'm just gonna have to go to Brazil myself. Here's a little clip of what I wish was...

And as an added treat, Niko (the initiator of this all) has brought me to post my first mix on this blog. It's a mix I did for her and my cousin Mikey about 2 years back, since their birthdays were so close together. It's reflective of where we recall most of our childhood memories to have taken place: the den.

Thus, I present to you:

Den Music For the Soul

Planetary Alignment.

Alright, let's just start this post off right.


This is Murphy Valdez, currently residing in San Diego, CA at KD's house. Just tryin' to give him some support seeing that he just underwent major neuterization and has to wear one of those silly head cones. I used to make Max wear a head cone only because he had a chronic addiction to chewing on himself like beef jerkey. It became quite comical though when he'd get stuck in doorways because the front of the cone got caught on the side of the door. He eventually found his way around the cone to once again get his beef jerkey on. Oh Maximus (may you rest in paz <3).

Last weekend my girl Nassirah aka Mixxleema aka my Medinah rider from the Bay came down last weekend with her friend Val. We mutually concluded that planetary alignment occurred that weekend considering the ever so convenient placement of various people and events throughout.

Among them:
1. Consistent parking right out front of my house upon turning the corner on a usually stubborn street.
2. Musical surprise guests show up on stage who are better than the artist we originally came to see.
3. Every store we walked into was playing doper than normal music, ie: Starbucks, Noah's Bagels, Bath & Body Works.
4. Found nose rings for sale for only $1-$5 at a random asian trinket store that smelled of Tiger Balm.
5. Bypassed all wackness for a concentration of funky beats too deep.
6. Nostalgically reflected on the voyage of a lifetime.

Just to name the basics.
