People are like stars. You can see them from far away and they leave an impact for all to see. There are all kinds of stars. Big, Small. Some are known, named. Some are part of groups, galaxies, clusters. Some are solitary, but still shine bright. <br /><br />There are also "heavenly bodies" that we can't see. Some, like planets and moons, may revolve around stars, but for the most part exist with very little fanfare. They can also bring meaning to the stars the revolve around. An audience, following, fans, of sorts. <br /><br />Some individuals are comets, traveling their own paths, not bound to the same immediate order that most other bodies are. They don't come around often, only just enough four you catch a glimpse.<br /><br />Some people are like Meteors. Existing on the fringes, sometimes crashing into other matter for no apparent reason, other than to remind you that they do exist. And sometimes, make you realize how fragile your own existence maybe. <br /><br />Just a rumination...Trackademickshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10253159594593166221noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2332613684231613186.post-20183002049200454452010-12-09T00:07:00.000-08:002010-12-09T00:47:25.941-08:00Production on Polyester's new album<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/trackadeezy/5245565971/" title="poly_cover_web by Trackadeezy, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5283/5245565971_2af5ec5102.jpg" width="400" height="400" alt="poly_cover_web" /></a><br /><br />I'm glad to have had a chance to work with Poly on his new album.

It was off the hook, as you can see. The real reason I'm posting this is because, despite record highs this week, we didn't really have a summer in the Bay. Yes, I'm living vicariously through, well, myself.<br /><br />"Topsidin'" available now on <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/enjoy-what-you-do-topsidin/id303246204">iTunes</a> courtesy of <a href="http://www.foolsgoldrecs.com/blog/">Fools Gold</a>!Trackademickshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10253159594593166221noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2332613684231613186.post-40067899807984834162010-09-30T12:00:00.000-07:002010-09-30T12:00:05.295-07:00Video: Mike Baker- "Food For Thought"<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/15339085" width="400" height="225" frameborder="0"></iframe><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/15339085">Mike Baker the Bike Maker - Food For Thought</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/honorroll">HNRL</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p><br /><br />Off of the Bike Maker's mixtape out now, Body of Work.<br /><br />Download full mix as separated tracks: <a href="http://hnrl.bandcamp.com/">hnrl.bandcamp.com</a><br /><br />Get That.Trackademickshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10253159594593166221noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2332613684231613186.post-13393583266882478452010-09-29T14:45:00.000-07:002010-09-29T15:09:24.394-07:00BackTRACKin': Head Over Heels.<object width="400" ><param name="movie" value="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/video/x1k8w3?additionalInfos=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/video/x1k8w3?additionalInfos=0" width="400" height="400" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed></object><br /><b><a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1k8w3_tears-for-fears-head-over-heels_music">Tears For Fears - Head Over Heels</a></b><br /><i>Uploaded by <a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/manon42">manon42</a>. - <a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/us/channel/music">Explore more music videos.</a></i><br /><br />Both of these songs are equally appealing to me in different ways. True, they're sharing the same post because they share the same name. But you can't deny them. Both songs have strong piano based chord progressions... the thing my dreams are often made up of. There's nothing better than deeeeeeep chords. That emotional shit. So its even better when they infiltrate popular music with force. Its almost a guarantee I'll bring these up again... <br /><br />Not to mention, "Head Over Heels". A feeling I've been struck with a few times... Including now. <br /><br /><object width="400" ><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/kYrmFtR5zAM?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/kYrmFtR5zAM?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="400"></embed></object>Trackademickshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10253159594593166221noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2332613684231613186.post-53531760327108736022010-09-27T21:54:00.000-07:002010-09-27T21:59:03.637-07:00Video: Duck Sauce- "Barbara Streisand"<object width="400" ><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/wWhtcU4-xAM&rel=0&hl=sv_SE&feature=player_embedded&version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wWhtcU4-xAM&rel=0&hl=sv_SE&feature=player_embedded&version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="400" height="400"></embed></object><br /><br />This video is crazy.

One of the most astute musicians I have the pleasure of knowing, he is one of the ones that "gets it". If its not for the vocals, its for the production. If its not for the production, its for the writing. If its not for the writing, its for the drumming. <br /><br />I had a chance to work on "Me & You" as a co-writer. This song is a message to all those apprehensive in love. <br /><br />Our advice? Take a leap of faith. <br /><br />Get on <a href="http://hnrl.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank" >Bandcamp</a><br />Purchase on <a href="http://honorrollcrew.com/2010/09/1-o-a-k-me-you/" target="_blank" >iTunes</a>Trackademickshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10253159594593166221noreply@blogger.com0
