spent most of my day off today mowing the lawn, grocery shopping, catching up on lost... etc etc i.e. i didn't allocate much time for tune-age. and of that special time with my midi keyboard: nothing going. thought i had a cool prince sample that i was working on over the last few sessions, but i realize now it's just bleh, and no matter how much you twiddle and fiddle with bleh, it's never going to be great. hey, you can't win every time.
so i had this track sitting around for about two months, and was having trouble sequencing it. that and the more you surf around the net, the more justice-esque "electro-banger" remixes you find, and i was having second thoughts about adding one more pig to the pile. the truth is, it's hard to find something these days that doesn't all sound like a desperate recreation of some track off †. (to be honest though, human after all did it first, which everyone hated until the alive 2006/7 tours)
so embrace the cliche. it is what it is: short, sweet, filter heavy. just because you reach for that candy bar that you know you shouldn't eat because your stomach is already sick from sugar overload doesn't make that snickers taste any less delicious.
Kanye West - Love Lockdown (Hear Mars Typical Electro-Banger Remix)
this track fulfills my "trilogy" obligation, meaning i can join the ranks of peter jackson, george lucas, (soon-to-be) jay-z, meatloaf and the man with no name. james lipton, i will be expecting your phone call.
