Friday Favorite : Alice by Pogo

Pogo

I've been waking up in the middle of the night lately.... and usually during these late hours I will catch up on some reading (mostly missed posts on Google Reader) and I stumble. Tonight I stumbled upon this incredible music video - for a song by electronic artist, Pogo. The track is basically made up of sound clips from Alice in Wonderland. It is actually quite beautiful and I instantly fell in love with it. (For anyone that knows me well - noodley, spacey, pretty instrumentals like this will usually hook me pretty easily). After investigating a bit further, I just found out that Mau had posted this same video earlier this week. Makes sense.. and I'm not surprised as he and I see eye to eye on music in general... and anything that represents even a touch of our childhood will instantly be a favorite.

But wow.. the hook on this song is just as addicting as watching Alice in Wonderland. I can't stop listening to it. :)

Friday Favorite : They Live In The Sky

I've been going through a bit of a rough spot the past couple of weeks... after laying low and decompressing... sorting out my head in private - I'm well on my way to feeling centered again.

I fell off balance. Just for a short while...

On my early morning drive into work this morning... I popped in a mixed cd entitled, "Innocence is Wasted on the Young" by one of my nearest and dearest, Jason aka misterjt. Ten minutes into my drive up the 5N, this song came on. And I just broke into tears. I fell apart just when the chorus came in. It was as if my emotions were set to music. I stepped out of my cloudy head and finally felt warmth. I no longer felt lonely... no longer struggling with heavy matter on my own. I was given this cd last year. I'm only really hearing it now. Really hearing it.

I've made many mixtapes and many have been given to me. But most of the time I will let them breathe. I'll give it a listen a few times then they will sit on my shelf... then somehow I will filter through them again months down the road... even years. Special mixtapes will hit me when least expected. Like a dear old friend surprising me with a lovely visit... it may not feel significant at the time it is made.. but it will take one important moment to make it matter and make its mark in my life...

...like a good and important conversation that brings you back.

After a night of cocktails and fun with the bffs - I'm lounging in my room this Saturday morning. Recharging again for the weekend. Post-farmer's market and planning my day... listening to bossa nova. All is lovely in my world. : )

Have a lovely weekend.

Friday Favorite : Voodoo Child by DJ Cam f. Afu-Ra (DJ Premier Remix)

DJ Cam f. Afu-Ra - Voodoo Child (DJ Premier Remix)

Afu-Ra

Hello!

I've been pretty quiet in my vox world. Lots going on and I haven't been diligent in posting my Friday Favorites. My apologies!.. But I'm back (I think)...

DJ Cam is incredible French hip hop / dub / electronic goodness. This song features Afu-Ra and remixed by DJ Premier (one of my favorites) ... all those guys working together = a pretty delicious joint. By "pretty" I mean very.. or a lot.

Ok it's late. This post might not make sense if I continue typing...

Enjoy.
