entertain me internet friends

so very, very bored. have homework. am avoiding.

So lets play that fun game where you ask for songs and I try to find them. Pick a song (pick lots of songs!) something you've been looking for and can't find, something you think I might have, something you've been meaning to download and haven't yet, whatever. Alternatively, give me a genre/artist that you like and I'll upload some songs that I think you might like. Even better, send me songs! Upload something to yousendit (or your own webspace) anything, I like all sorts of music.

Earlier today was the Bay To Breakers run, I didn't get to go but people dress up crazy and run across the city. On my way back into town this afternoon I got a small glimpse of some of the costumes from checking out the people waiting for busses on 19th avenue. There were guys in drag, and people with giant hats, and men in capes. It was great. Today was intensely foggy, which, in San Francisco terms, officially means summertime is here. I don't think I've ever posted pictures of my apartment. So here are some of the apartment and the view.

My living room, the couches are my roommates, the bookshelf, coffee table, and papasan chair are mine though.

the dining room area.

This is the other side of the living room. Through the doorway are the bedrooms and bathrooms. And to the right of the doorway (not pictured) is the my bookshelf from the 1st picture. The white bookshelf in this picture is my roommate's She reads lots of self help books, evidently.

A view from the living room windows. My apartment is on the 7th floor in the Sunset district of SF. If it were on the other side of the building the picture would be a whole lot cooler because you'd be able to see the ocean. Nevertheless, I love my view. The sun rises over the hill, so the apartment gets great sun during the day.

Both of these pictures were taken, appropriately, at sunset back in March.

The fog was so thick and low today that it's actually surrounding my building. This picture is from today around 4:30pm.

And this one was taken at 7:30pm. It's been foggy all day but it's even thicker now. How would you like to be living at the top of that hill in fog like this?

Thank you so much! Have you listened to "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover?" OMGSOGOOD.

Have I uploaded The Foreign Exchange's "Connected" for you? I don't remember. I've been meaning to share the album with your for a while. I really do think that you'll like it.

The drums on that song are fabulous. It's so good!

I don't think you have, but you've got my interest peaked now.

OK. Here is the Foreign Exchange album: Connected.

I would def say this this is in the Top 5 Albums EVAH cateogory in my mind. TFE consists of Phonte from Little Brother and this producer named Nicolay from the Netherlands. They meet on the OKPlayer messageboard and started trading music through AIM. Fast forward about and year and they've created a fantastic album together and literally never meet face to face once. Nicolay created the beats, Phonte and his people created the rhymes. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

Their offical site is here and MTV's You Hear It First did a segment on them that you can find here.

The cover-art, which is beautiful can be found here.

Let me know what you think. I really hope that you like it, but if you don't that's cool too! :-)

Wow. I really like this. It's amazing that they did this all through the internet. Kinda reminds me of the postal service, they traded beats and vocals throug the mail. Connected is really chill, it'll make great driving music I think. I'm definitely going to play this for a couple of my friends. Thank so much for the rec, this is really really good.
