so whats goin on with minusbaby on the great evening of monday, november 6th, 2000?
well, my father's yelling in his sleep.."stupid kid...fukkin kid...YO KID MOVE!!!!!" damn
are you dancing? whats goin down?
dancing? nahhhhh
are you dancing?
oh yeah always :-) hows the designin been?
pretty good, that's what has me yawning. i've been up working on judyclifford.com and that new metempsy redesign, mr eel sent me all he's done so far...its my turn now....my throat is blowing up from too many cigarettes
i'm designing some polyps
whats that?
david lee roth style
haha van halen
benign tumors that form in yr throat from yelling too much
oh no =-O
i havent been yelling so i must have so bonafied toomuhz roght now
oh shit, i'm SORRY!
what am I going to do?
huh? i would say, 'fuk up' but it looks like yr already doing that...
<):'Þ
heheh well its hard for me to break character.. so whats up with the musica señor? mind if I ax u some specifics on my fav trax?
nah, go ahead...
hey, r u gonna vote tomorrow?
let me turn off xen cuts do I can be listenin as I ask for a better understanding both ways ;-)
no I dont think so u?
slick. i'm listening to ladysmith black mambazo
of course, man
whos the man
david chapelle, but what does that have to do with voting? <):'P
I have no idea heheh ok so la casita por la esquina... I really like the stereo dynamics and overall feel but what really attracts me is the samples, why did u use those specific ones on the track? is that a personal statement?
lets run away lets escape lets seperate
i wrote that one after feeling a bit sorry for the people in my neighboorhood with shitty, dead-end jobs...i just think people really need to get up and do something to break away from drab conformity. something simple like walking down a block they usually don't visit...or a museum. we need to separate from alazy habits, for real
that's a malcolm x sample...
I need to see that movie eh
malcolm x? nah, look for his speeches at the library and read his autobiography...
then check it out
that sample's the real deal, spike-lee-free
ahhhh silly me :-P yeah I'm out of touch with too much (but I can rhyme. Im a rapper) de naturum baculum: tripped beats with the solid melody and intriguing atmosphere... I esp. dig the rapid fire bass drum kicks
sweet, thanks. that tune is based on some lamps my friend, tamara, made..i can dig up a link to them...wanna see?
yeah thats fun
k...one sec. it translates from the latin to 'on the nature of sticks' <)X'J
here you go... (lost link)
they're made of sticks and dress patterns
sweet. ok librium! Im just gonna fire off alla the trax I play over and over if thats ok with you
these lamps are new skool stylin
are they all over town?
librium..yea. i wrote that after my father went into the hospital after a spell with alcohol withdrawal...damn, i seem a bit morbid. ha
she wishes, shit, if u know anyone who wants to buy some tell me, QUICK! <):'D
nah just real, you have real stories in your music and I like to hear them in the music and from you is a great added bonus.
heheh ok
mi piace
do u know what librium is?
used for a preparation of chlordiazepoxide
oh.ha...google?
www.m-w.com :-)
my online brain
is used to treat anxiety, especially when withdrawing from alcohol. its like sweet n low for diabetics
hah yea man. m-w is dope
oh, mi piace...
yeah science for sure.
Anna, who's at the beginning of the track, named it.its italian for 'i like'
and you are Rich right?
yea
I thought so!
and she digs empanadas
<):'[)
yummy yum! ok>neue yairs
oh, that was my new years tune...finished it exactly @ midnight EST 01.01.00 let's see..i sampled an australian radio show for that one since they were the first big country to experience 2000...that's matthew modine at the end. i found him saying happy new years as a fluke...i forget how
no veu na sol
it was a really experience.racing agianst the clock, fukkinUp...
heheh and then you sign online ;-)
I find that funny
oh, i was online the entire time..sampling realPlayer streams and shit...
droppin the science eh
hahaha nice
sorry Im getting ahead of myself, no veu na sol is nxt up if thats ok..
is that you???
any of those creatures?
I like the rhe-rhe-rheee... sunumabonyannn
oh, i can't listen to that tune anyomore. i made it for a cd shellbear was putting together...there was a pretty good chance neotropic would hear it so i threw the loudest, most insane tune i could make onto the dis. dunno if she heard
its a blast
why cant you hear it
those are chants to..damn, i forget...a diety..i'll try to remember
dunno, its just too much for me. i'm not at that speed anymore, you know? i'm a bit slower and more subtle now
the baby namboos are my speed right now
yeah.. so tell me about your latest, Unagi-san...ne?
eerie keen
sounds like you lit a welding torch at the start even heheh
yea...i dig that one and so does luke, so i'm glad...its a response to the difference between dance music and shit you just sit down and listen to.
definately mind candy.. and the chords keep it real
let's see, we pla music at work.whoever akes it to the stereo first is allowed to play a cd..i ended up playing autechre, plaid, and other pretty heady stuff. people reacted with zzz's or anxiety. the minute i switched to something danceable, like lee perry or bogdan raczynski, even, things were cool
yeah people need basic music... sometime they are used to.. ok time for a switch up! RUMPY! heheh play that at work!
haah yea, that's some funny shit
percussion aminal
i think that was the first tune i made with my laptop, ~february '99
what did you use before that? and what softs?
i messed around with an 8 track, a casio keyboard, a busted mic, a dumbek (sp.) and whatever was around. ahh, and my friend's groovebox. damn, do people still use them?
yeah.. Im all sopht though :-) fun to dink with at the store
i'd also head over to my friend jerry's place and mess with his guitar bass and drum machine. i'd run it thru 6 fx pedals at once...that was sweet
crazy
base (minusbaby 6 train remix)
oh, i just wantd to make a booty-bass-rollin-down-the-blvd version of that tune. i feel it turned out well, its smooooooooooov
yeah it is
where do you keep your 6 trains?
it runs down lexington avenue...well, from the bronx down third to lexington once it hits manhattan. the last stop is city hall
oh yeah?
i grew up on that train <):')
:-)
sterile pillow: spilllllllow

minusbabæ tell me about trading my 12s 4 4
that was for albery murray and ralph ellison. dunno them, ralph died, but i love their work. "trading twelves' is a book of correspondance between the two during the early 50's - the late '60s///my timeframe is probably off but yea, ts a charming book
