I'm listening to Devil's Night right now. Yeh, I mean, it's actually pretty good. I'm not gonna lie about this, Tyler talking about this being one of his favourite albums is definitely the reason why I've revisited it. But dude, this shit is dope. Some of the choruses are a little annoying, but some of them are fucking amazing. A lot of the verses (not including Bizarre, who doesn't really count for much as a rapper) are also fucking great. So yeh, gonna be listening to this and 2001 a bit in the next little while, along with Goblin, and Project Pat. And Ye.

I haven't blogged in a really long time and I don't know that there's anything in particular I'd like to be blogging about right now. I'm been mad cooking at Saege, which has been mostly good. Still really feeling cooking as my default career barring some small miracle in my musical career. I really love the idea of having my own place eventually, that's simple home food, but done really well with quality ingredients. Just a daytime place, cool place to chill. Yeh I fucking love cooking.

The Stephen Hero shows are starting to creep up slowly but surely. I was really hoping that I would've done some live hip hop by now (aside from that New Year's Party) and so I'm a little disappointed, but I'm remaining optimistic. Tomorrow I'm getting together with Willow to start putting together a cohesive set list for the Saint John and Fredericton shows. I guess it's pretty appropriate that my first shows will be Freddy and Durty J, but I wish I'd have gotten some more practice in. I'm doing a pretty good mix of stuff from the last half a year. I have some stuff off Verses From the Working Class, but it's not too heavy on it, I'm also using other rappers beats, some of Al Pal's beats, and a beat TV Cop from Large King Canadians made for a collab in the near future.

Speaking of LKC, I'm doing an EP with their MC, Stagefright, who's a cool dude from Hamilton, ON. I'm thinking it's going to be pretty cool, and pretty good, and pretty weird, so I'm into it. We only have a few jams, but they're pretty stark, cold, simple beats and really offkilter verses (in my personal opinion), so I think we kind of have a thing going.

I'm also supposed to start practicing a bit with Rekkid Bitch Mike, who is a dude I met in the kitchen, who DJ's (with actual vinyl!). I think we're hoping to get some show things happening in the not-too-distant future. I certainly would love to do some hip hop with some scratching going on.

I should be getting my hands on a mac soon, which will make Rolodex come out really fucking quickly, and BITCHES. I'm really having a hard time coming up with a new title for that mixtape album type deal. I know I want a new title but I can't figure out what it should be. I don't know, I think the album is pretty clearly an odd viewpoint of a dude that thinks about girls too much and deals with it angrily and awkwardly. I don't know. It's also pretty swag, this dude can rap. Brad Allen, I think, is gonna send me some album art for that. If I could get both those albums on the nets in the next few months I'd be happy. That and some shows.

final tracklist!!! OMG!!
