I was looking at a former coworkers Facebook pictures, and looking at her domestic life shot a memory into my head.
I was building a crib to get somebody's baby out of my bed. I seem to remember this night coming at the end of a very good day, but I think I'm just meshing completely separate occasions together. For some reason I remember my favorite Savers shopping memory being in the same day as the somebody's baby's first steps and it ending with building that dangerous crib.
As time goes on, stretches of time just become an instant in your head. At some point I'll remember every relationship I've ever had as my 15th birthday.
Haha I fucking love his extreme water drinking face, the plane in the sky, and the gangsta parody verse. The dance goes without saying.

I've finally started decorating myself since losing the weight. Who would've thought a tee shirt could look cool?
Is that not the coolest shirt you've ever seen? C'mon. How obnoxious.
In the past I'd find three shirts I like, and interchange them as sporadically as possible (sometimes in the middle of parties).
I may be all the way up to SEVEN shirts I like.
... I know.
It's fun to wear the most outlandish, socially acceptable pieces of fashoin possible. Nobody should be wearing animal-style shutter shades while ordering some In N' Out.
It's so strange to me when people want to throw some much negativity at something so positive. Say what you want about T-Pain, autotune, or Kanye, or Michael Jackson... but that song is an example of how good a genre of music can be. Kanye himself has an ability to make the least credible sources turn into genius (auto-tune, t pain, post 1999 hip hop, egos, near-fatal car accidents). After bringing in multiple, reputable singers for the hook, T-Pain was the final selection. And don't try to tell me that video isn't one of the most creative things you've ever seen.
That last line was extremely defensive, because when it comes to music you have to be. There is so much negativity geared towards any of your favorite songs - from any artist, album, or era.
Every genre, at its peak, can give you the same feeling. I went through my "yeah country sucks, but at its peak it was the greatest genre of music" phase a few years ago. But when you hear any style of music at its very best, it always seems insurmountable.
I think it's about time we just mush all the genres together.
Bobby Ray had a great performance. In the place of hypemen, he has two soul sisters performing with him. He had a good acoustic track too. I immediately downloaded his mixtape after the show, and it's the best thing I've heard in a long time (that I've immediately liked). His ability to cross through any genre is only overshadowed by his voice. Awesome stuff!
Cudi was spectacular, his light show really augments his performance- a performance that should've been headlining.
It spared us some of Asher atleast. Not a fan. Even the song(s?) I enjoy sounded like shit. The crowd was 99.95% in his favor though, people were dancing on the balcony. Jim and I just stood at the bar trying to laugh at his bad comedy or trying to enjoy the people-distorted songs. I guess on paper a marijuana leaf mascot and an Uncle Sam costume sound good.
The overall mood was good, very different than a venue full of indie scenesters. It was just a bunch of people looking to have fun. College fratboys and tall gangstas were able to unite. With the underground hip hop artists, people come together against the mainstream because they know what they're creating is better music and want it on the radio and in media. With indie scenesters they come together to keep their favorite musicians from being mainstream because that would make them suck. It's inspiring to see creativity that wants to break through, and it's depressing to try to hold on to your bands. It was the reason I stopped going to shows years ago, the people were just frustrating to be around.
At a Campfire Music/Mix and Match show, AND at a Kid Cudi/Asher Roth show, I found a complete respect for Kanye West- a living, current, mainstream producer. That mainstream-indie respect is something you don't find in a certain other musical genre (and it's not like either genre is well represented on the radio, if "represented" at all).
In We Hit & Run's 2008 In Review Part 3, we experience Anthony Saunder's last shows in studio, the second peak of We Hit & Run as a broadcast, Sha's cringe-inducing final confrontation with Anthony, and the ultimate pay-off to Kevin's 9-month set up for the Victory Show.
