'twasn't nothin' mayne. i'm not new to it, just hadn't been crossing paths on there for some reason. it IS cool hanging out with the gang.

speaking of mistamonotone beats...i DO believe i'm working with something over here! can't wait to let y'all hear it.

9th's didn't resonate with me yet. i'll try again. and contrary to what i've seen here a few times, Erykah's vocals ARE on beat on that remix. the drum beat probably throws y'all off because the snare doesn't hit on the 2 and 4, but on the upbeats.

i have a hard time getting into sports PERIOD when my teams aren't involved. fortunately, this is possibly the greatest few weeks of overall Detroit sports i have EVER seen. Lions are on FIRE (thank you, Jesus!!), the Tigers have the opportunity to knock those damb Yankees off, the Spartans won last week, the Red Wings won an exhibition game, etc., etc. shit is incredible. i'm not NEARLY getting enough sleep though. if *I* am this exhausted, i can't imagine how the players must feel.
