Tristram is a cool new artist on Monstercat, one of the most agile & aware labels on the internet these days. Excuse the badly transcribed lyrics and look at the warrior standing tall with one hell of a sword. Stand tall my people. You got this and in case you’re not sure, check out the tune below for some inspirational bass.
Some ancient hip hop wisdom for your Monday morning. If you make it to noon without committing grand larceny or arson, you’re halfway to Friday. I promise.
A wordy quote for your day, but one that’s definitely relevant even today. Strawberry Fields on his birthday was wonderful, and I hope you find your own eggman & walrus to hang out with one of these days. (via Old Timey Hedgehog)
Truth for your Wednesday. I’d never heard it put so starkly, but it’s totally what is needed, especially these days, with even our art being commodified as heavily as it has.
I’m kind of surprised I haven’t used this as a quote yet, since it seems to be exactly my opinion on the matter. Good job Billy Shakes!
Someone who managed to use words so freaking well his whole life, I assumed didn’t really have much of a penchant for music. Glad to see I was wrong.
MrSuicideSheep is the best part of YouTube. One of the purely music-based channels, track after track shows up and it is always quality. Whether it’s electro, drum & bass, dubstep, ambient/chillout, experimental, indie rock and even progressive house, it’s good. The gorgeous art used in backgrounds adds to the presentation as well. Really cool person, with a great story & they deserve all the success. Mixes get added from time to time, like the chill-out one I’ve linked below. Glide into your Friday. And show that channel some love.
The Duke himself was able to say so much with so little. Being addressed by him when you were in his band must’ve been fun, unless you sucked of course.
Kid President is one of the best internet sensations you may not have heard of. Just in case you weren’t sure where to get your inspiration from, check with a 9 year old. Like this kid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-gQLqv9f4o You got this, whatever your version of “this” is. “What will be your Space Jam?” (from the video) is going to be my go-to motivational phrase for 2014 I think.
From the “Tart Toter” episode of Adventure Time, the Royal Tart Toter is completely insane. Even for the standards Adventure Time aspires to. Though, there is wisdom in there, if you look closely enough.
