Peep This... "Midget Fight On Springer"

Since we were already laughing at things that we shouldn't....

For The Beat Heads... Room Acoustics (Better Your Mixes)

Fresh out the oven is something from Mau. I have not had a chance to read it yet as I just checked my e-mail real quick before dinner. Considering his track record though it should be a good read.

"A bit technical but a good read - the things to really read (read them and understand them) is the mirror test, bass traps, and speaker positioning. Handle this stuff, you will not need to buy new speakers. I know people than mix on 4 inch KRKs, and 4 inch M-Audio 100.00 speakers - that can get a better mix than people with better equipment. They have all gone to school btw, but it is because of their understanding of room acoustics that they a) save money, b) get a more balanced stereo mix.

The mastering engineer I have been working with told me to read this. The part about sound fooling your brain is trippy, but explains why a lot of people automatically reach for a stereo imager like S1 which in a poorly treated room will translate to a bad mix widening the mix more than it really should.

Peep This/Add 'Em... Hangar 18 - Feet To Feet

I just saw this video 30 minutes ago and I had no idea who these guys are. A quick googly googy and I come up with their Myspace page. They video and song are dope. And the songs on their Myspace page are pretty ill. Keep an eye/ear out for them as I will most definitely be trying to get my hands on some of their material to bless you with on "Listen Up". Peep

SUMMER
Current mood: dorky
Category: Life

Summer is finally here no more school no more teachers and no more drama. Sik about the drama i mean. Summer is supposed to be the time where we cool off have fun and go shopping but it isnt. The shit is just starting girls fighting over which guy to take to the movie the guy wondering which bra will she wear. I dont kno what it is about sunmmer that make girls more of bitches then usual. Its like they have nothing better to do than fight with each other. I liked him first he said he liked me first. They just do it for attention from the guy who by now has moved on to something else. I have these 2 friends that dont even talk anymore over a guy who didnt like either one of them. And have you ever notice how bitchy girls get when they get with someone and ur still single like it was a race and the beat u to the finish line. Even though on their way there they may have picked up the ugliest guy at the race. Then after you stop caring they break up with the guy like ur getting ahead in another race. On the other hand its like having a soap 24 hours. To bad i hate soaps Like girls say ho's before bros Oh wait!!!!!!!! girls dont say that because they are to busy wondering what color lip gloss to buy. Oh and by the way ALL SHADES OF PINK LOOK THE SAME TTYL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Late Pass... "Iron Mic - Eli Porter vs. Envy"

I'm debating on whether or not I should even give this a late pass because it's really not that old. The first clip is a freestyle battle between Eli Porter and Envy. Pretty run of the mill right? WRONG... WRONG!(c) Charlie Murphy. Eli Porter is disabled. Which is where the slippery slope begins.

Do they not allow him to battle simply because he is handicapped?

-No. That's fucked up.

Do they impose some sort of handicap (pun intended) to level the playing field?

-No. How is that better than the first option? This hip hop and the battle is all about skill.

Or do they put it on the Internet for everybody to laugh at?

DING!!!!

Even though this option is the most fucked up thing they can do, it works out in the long run because it just goes to show that just because someone is disabled does not mean that they do not have the same love or desire to do things that me and you can do. It made me respect Eli for

having the courage to do his thing. So take from it what you wish because even though it made me respect Eli, I still laugh every time I watch the clip.

Now the second clip is a video mash up of the battle with a song that was written from the perspective of Eli. This is where the true comedy lies. Peep...
