A couple more days of lazy bloggery, and I swear I'll be back to my regular hustle around here...
Traffic tends to reach its lowest point towards the end of the year, so it seems logical...maybe even excusable...to momentarily pause the rotation.
Meanwhile, meditate on the sound of trees falling in an empty forest, bitches...

*Respect to all of the DJs and producers who've sent me copies of their AG remixes. I'll be listening to all of them in the coming weeks. As a whole, Small Professor's Crooklyn Gangster has been one of my favorites so far, but that's still just scratching the surface. I haven't heard most of the mixes in my inbox yet, not to mention the ones that are steadily circulating around the internets.
Keep hittin' me up...

*"Unsaintly acts seamlessly intertwined with a sincerity and conviction reserved only for the most righteous of melodies." That's what I wrote down about this song the first time I listened to it.
Dude... what the fuck did I mean by that?

Word From Your Moms:
I've known rivers:
I've known rivers ancient as the world and older than the flow of human blood in human veins.
My soul has grown deep like the rivers.

Scholar,
How's it going man? Not dropped a comment around here for a while. Really feeling that Jay Z remix - nice one.
Hope all is well with you and that 2008 proves to be a year of fun and frolics.
Peace,
Dan
Scholar! Been a while ... I'm liking that Jay-Z remix too, much more than the original even. And the keyboard on Young-Holt tune might be my new favorite thing.

A long overdue message from a Scholar fan: Thanks for what you do.
Okay Scholar.
You've had your "lazy bloggery" days.
Where you at?
I'm a little...delayed...with these replies. Sorry, fam.
Happy New Year, Dan Love! If 2007 is any indication, FDB is set to blow the fuck up in '08. Seriously, cousin...you've become a force to be reckoned with...
Adam---It has been a while. Glad to know you're still in the building.
Stay on your hustle in '08. Let's do a collabo on a covers post...something that will make other bloggers cry.
Graz---The Italian Stallion. Glad you appreciated the joints, man.
Marty---Happy New Year, my friend. Haven't forgotten about writing something for you. My New Year's resolution needs to be finishing all the guest posts I owe my beloved friends and family...
hawkes---Cheese sandwiches for breakfast, lunch and dinner, bitches!
Commish---Dude, you have an amazing ability to retain lyrics. I need to be letting you write Word From Your Moms, the MC edition.
All the best to you in '08...
Anon---Well, even if you hadn't told me about this, I still might have guessed that this was you. Thank God someone understands me...
Anon---See the post above? All I need is a paycheck and I can get real prolific with it.
