Nebraska is calling!
Ok, here we go. Once upon a time a girl in her second decade of life got addicted to a social networking website called Facebook. She’d dump hours upon hours of her life into this useless site staring at rarely updated irrelevant personal information of people she barely even knew. It was quite sad and her studies suffered. Not only did her studies suffer, I fear she may have even lost a bit of her creativity and vitality since all of her time was spent hypnotized by an essentially useless and rather underwhelming computer screen. She had ceased to develop and her life was becoming a stale shell as she consistently threw precious hours away to the evils of technology. One day she decided to kill the evil Facebook. So she logged herself out, shut down her computer and threw it ON THE GROUND. She was after all, an adult.

Bombay Beach, Beatin’ the Heat
source: thebottleopener
And you are no longer a river to me
Though your coarsing remains
Eager to acquaint me
And you are no longer a docile stream
Though your patience proves you into ease
And once this spark met kindling
Forgets its gentle ambling
Becoming heat, becoming steam
Becoming luminescent glee
Atoms splinter, sparkling
Alive and nimble symmetry
Blankets we and everything
Shadows dance triumphantly
A wordless whisper sighs and pleas
Little deaths envelope thee
You and I and a flame make three
You and I and a flame make three
You and I and a flame make three
And you are not a glassy bay to me
Though my tired fleet abides in your gentle breeze
And you are now the vast and open sea
And my mind travels you endlessly
And you beckon, toss and swallow me
And you are no longer a river to me
Though your coarsing remain
Eager to acquaint me
And you are no longer a docile stream
though your patience proves you into ease
And once this spark met kindling
Forgets its gentle ambling
Becoming heat, becoming steam
Becoming luminescent glee
Atoms splinter, sparkling
Alive and nimble symmetry
Blankets we and everything
Shadows dance triumphantly
A wordless whisper sighs and pleas
Little deaths envelope thee
You and I and a flame make three
You and I and a flame make three
You and I and a flame make three
I’m filled with an incandescent joy. My bones heated to the core radiating the light that permeates through my skin and out of my eyes.
Summer’s on it’s way and for me it’s going to be all roses not that anything will have changed. Same job, same home, same school, everything’s the same. I suppose it’s that everything looks better in the correct light.
Spring is always associated as being a time of rebirth and summer one of maturity. It’s not like that for me. I always find myself wrestling out of a cocoon of uncertainties and second thoughts: ”Maybe I should make a change.”, “Why am I still at this dirty dead end job?”, “Am I really suited for this major?” And all that tussling in my bed late at night with the pitter-patter of rain drops speeding up the seconds on my wrist watch I find my self resolved as May is sent coming on its way.
Maybe it’s not a good thing that I gain a renewed sense of complacency, but it might not be complacency rather a greater sense of confidence in the path I’ve carved for myself. Like hope; hope that can be destructively regarded as complacency. Hope isn’t stagnant though, it bids progress and ultimately it is the little glimmers of hope that the summer sun sends my way that keeps me on.

Late on the love for Metronomy, but better late than never.

Everyone MUST get as stoked as me about everything that is happening in this remix. Amber Coffman of the Dirty Projectors, Diplo + Switch in Major Lazer, and Flume and Emoh Instead in What So Now. Too much glory packed into a single banger.
This Monday we’re bringing you a remix of the Reggae fusion collaberation of Djs Diplo and Switch that is Major Lazer.
Typically we like to bring you a remix of an Indie group, but figuring that Dubstep and all that Electro which has permeated into the youth’s headphones, it’d be A-O.K. to do…
