Hey kids, I gotta put the blog on pause for a hot second, the computer's getting packed up while i move out to the East Side, but i'll be back soon! Hopefully before this time next month, shouldn't be more than a few weeks. Keep checking back periodically, as i'll try to post if I get a chance, but if not i'll see y'all on the flip side. If you're jonesing for some tasty blog action, i'd recommend: North of the river The Meaning Of Dope The Essential Elements Here's todays minimix from the Empire, featuring beats from around the world. Enjoy, Broke.
It's just another case of the Eclectical Empire minimix collection. This one's comedy based, just a few of my favourite pieces with some sweet instrumentals to back them up. Enjoy kids. Grab that mofo right HERE
Here's the 90's Minimix from the last Eclectical Empire show. BTW, if you're wondering what the hell the title of this post means, since i'm a white boy the word N***a is obviously out of bounds for me, so it's been replaced by the word 'Nilla (short for Vanilla). I'm trying to bring this replacement word into the everyday lexicon, so use it, love it, and get everyone saying it. Let's band together Nilla's, we've been stepped on for too long! Peace
....and I Broke it. Here's minimix 5, i've lost one of these somewhere along the way, and i'll try and re-up it if I can work out which one is missing. Grab a handful of funk right HERE Peace, Broke A.K.A. Baroke Obama. P.S. This is the 50th post here at the Trim. Happy half-century to all, and cheers to everyone who have stopped in to peep my random musings along the way. I mostly do this for me, as it keeps me busy and relatively sober, but to paraphrase Jigga... "I do this for my culture, to let 'em know what a white boy writes like when the keyboard's out the holster". Peace
Man, my bad people. It's been a while since my last post, been trying to detox and sort out a bunch of shit in my life, so blogging has been a secondary concern for the last little while. Anyways, here's the catch-up.
This week on The Empire we'll be rocking out with the worlds best lyricists. There's no way we can hit upon every great lyricist in the measy hour we have, but we'll try to cover most genres, and we'll at leat hit the main contenders for greatness. Speaking of our sweet radio gig, here's part III of the minimix's. This bad boy's pretty rough, as I had major technical issues and had to re-record this about an hour before going to air, but it's still listenable. Grab that mofo right HERE.
In case you're not as huge a fan of The Daily Show as I am, you probably missed Jon Stewart's epic rant against Rick Santelli and CNBC, so here it is. Gawker also posted this a few days ago, but it's well worth re-posting.
Thirdly, it seems the rest of the world is catching up with myself and BigDubbs (northoftheriver.wordpress.com) and proclaiming The Wire as the greatest thing on television since Wildboyz. OK, most wouldn't compare the two, but I will, 'cos that's how I roll. So if you're not up on it yet, crawl out from under your rock and get busy downloading or buying or whatever, just watch it. I'm sick of explaining the brilliance of this show to slack jawed idiots who can't understand how TV can be revolutionary.
Fourthly, my brother in arms PMM is a busy man, being that he actually studies and has a job and all that, so i'm pretty much holding the fort by myself (damn, two military analogies in one sentence, gotta expand my vocabulary). The point being, if anyone cares to join me here in cyberspace and feels that they could bring something to The Trim, then get at me and i'll add you to the Admin. No need to be exceptionally verbose, judging by the majority of my posts as long as you're semi-literate you'll fit right in.
Fifthly (OK, i'm gonna stop that now, they don't really work after thirdly) I love a good birdman rally. Nothing better than idiots hurling themselves off a pier with a pair of cardboard wings attached. And the shonkier the costume, the better. If it's too well constructed, then the fun is taken out of it. Noone watches a Daytona 500 to see cars driving really fast in a circle, they want to see massive stacks. And the same goes for a Birdman Rally, more failure, more enjoyment. Here's some highlights, courtesy of The Age website. Birdman Rally Photo Gallery
And finally, I should weigh in on the Chris Brown/Rihanna debacle. I should, but I can't really do better than the homeboy here.
So here's the minimix from Tuesday's show, I realised after i'd recorded it that apart from the Big L blend, it's pretty much all Classic Rock. Hence the title of this post. CLick right HERE to get your goodies. Enjoy kiddies, Broke.
Hey Kids, so for those that tuned in to the show today, or even for those who didn't, here's the minimix from the end of the show today. Hope y'all enjoyed it, tune in next week for more of the same. Only better. Minimix 1 Peace, Broke
So, Eclectical Empire starts tomorrow, and it's going to be sweeeeeeet. Jackson's been digging up facts and figures for the show... And i've been getting the beats in order..... So remember kids...
When: 2pm - 3pm Where: SYN FM, 90.7 on your FM dial. Why: Because we wanna.....
