Change is good...

Im getting sick of posting these daily reports from my trip, its far too structured so this blog is going to become far more impulsive and spontaneous, no doubt it will still highly cover my travels however i will post an update when i have had a sick day and want to share it with everyone rather than post the boring stuff just for the sake of it.

continuing along that theme there will be a lot more random, shorter posts most likely containing links to youtube videos or album art of music i really like and want to share because quite often i find something and go wow everyone should love this. if you happen to find a new favourite band, track or album then i will be content. i realise that some things may cause certain people to cringe....let them haters hate.

here is an example:

This track was in the poor boyz productions ski movie Revolver and was set to a section of one of my favourite pro skiers- Dane Tudor, skiing one of the places i have to ski before i die- Niseko, Japan. That only made this song even more interesting for me, one of the main reasons is the intelligence and beauty behind it that can easily be overlooked and/or under-appreciated to the un-trained mind and ears. the following lyrics from it may help you to uncover that.
"a society, quote, free to borrow and build upon the past, is culturally richer than a controlled one."

if you think about that and keep it in mind while listening to the track you start to hear that the guitar riff is from another song, so is the bass line so is almost every component other than the drums , and the best part, there are vocals extracted from another source which are used almost as an instrument without altering them in any way other than cutting and pasting sections of them. The oppening lyrics also sum that up.

it sums up one of the main reasons i like hip-hop, the fact that you are free and uncontrolled in how you produce things and you take the good things from something and make them stronger by combining them with other good things. if you get my point :P

anyway i think i have explained myself there, so now the name of this amazing track, it is called once upon a past and is by an amazing artist called wax tailor, he has also made another track using similair techniques which is called Que Sera and i really like that too.

here is the track:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_21-ip0FjNE
