Writing is A Socially Acceptable Form of Schizophrenia

I hate to admit it, but I've changed my schizophrenic mind about featuring an mp3 blog every week. I've been thinking that it might be more rewarding if I just link you to some of the best mp3s that are available each week. In my experience, most blogs are inconsistent in terms of the number and quality of their posts. Hopefully this route will lead you more directly to the music you want to hear. My suggestion is to jump on these tracks right away if you're interested, as most blogs only host mp3s for a very limited time.

Razorblade Runner posted a chillin' summer jam: "Stay Fly" by Three 6 Mafia feat. Eightball and MJG and Young Buck. I'm not even much of a Mafia fan, but this song is simply bluntastic. The link to Razorblade is to the right.

Ear Fuzz is featuring "Save Their Souls" by Hamilton Bohannon, sampled in Jay-Z's song "Cashmere Thoughts":http://www.earfuzz.com/ Another one of his tracks, "Getting to the Other Side" is also available. If you are interested in learning more about Bohannon, here is a link to one of many websites about him: http://www.discomuseum.com/HamiltonBohannon.html.

Silence Is a Rhythm, Too has a couple of tracks from Missy Elliott's new Cookbook LP: http://siart.blogspot.com/

Before I go, there's one more link I definitely need to post. Lemon Life is another great blog that I visit whenever I have time to do some reading. Ms. Lemon is fantastic---her writing is thought-provoking, intelligent and insightful. I owe her much respect because she's provided me with a great deal of encouragement since I started Souled On. One afternoon I was feeling sort of homicidal towards my blog...I truly contemplated just deleting the whole thing. That same day, Ms. Lemon left me an encouraging comment, assuring me that my blog didn't suck. Indirectly, she saved my little blog's life. Isn't that precious? And absolutely true. So none of us would be here without her! Give her some love: http://lemonlife2005.blogspot.com/.
