I downloaded this a while ago but only just listened to it today and it is ruling!

All Prince Mix! - One Day Later Radio

David Rodigan is kind of the most awesomest dude ever

2009-04-10T20:42:00.000-07:00

watch these videos and try tell me he's not

in the interests of tidyness I decided not to embed the other videos, click here and here for a couple more shots of pure energy and passion. If I'm anywhere near as awesome as this dude when I'm that age I'll be stoked, sure is some inspiration, even if you're not into reggae or dancehall.

So House right now.....

2009-04-10T20:24:00.000-07:00

Totally feeling these songs right now, got me dancing round my room in my trackpants, hands in the air, yey!

NYC Nights - Blu Jemz edit

The Whitest Boy Alive - Golden Cage (Fred Falke remix)

and and this:

DJ Moma - Satisfy my soul (mix)

sweet soul mix, found it here (tracklisting etc)

also I have to say I am kind of enjoying this cold weather, enjoying wearing shoes and trackpants and slippers and shit. Also for some reason this kind of weather makes me feel like going out into town, I dunno, theres just something fun about going out in a big jacket, haha, yay for jackets!

Another D-Grade mix

2009-02-14T00:45:00.000-08:00

(spur of the moment mix makes messy room)

I made this for my brother Paul for his birthday, he likes dancehall bashment styles heaps so it has alot of that kind of stuff on it. Not recommended for listening to if you are trying to sleep.

Paul's Bashment Birthday Mix

ps. this IS good for listening to if you wanna go to sleep :)

It's just a hobby that I picked up in the lobby

2009-02-13T16:24:00.000-08:00

So, I was driving home from work yesterday listening to Ghostface and as per usual it got me all hyped up and I ending up looking not how a white dude in 1987 Honda Civic should look like (i.e. rapping like a crack baking gangsta). But anyways it made me think "yeaaah Ghostface is def my favourite Wu member" and then I thought "new poll!!!!". So if you look to your left you will see the brand spanking new poll: who is your favourite Wu-Tang Clan member? Like blauow!!

Just to make it a bit simpler, I just used the members that were around for Enter the Wu-Tang, otherwise there would end up being you 40 dudes in the poll.....

So who is it gonna be? (click the name to watch a super awesome video selected by me)

Will it be: Prince Rakeem AKA The RZA? (yeah!!)

or: The GZA the Genius (you don't understand my words, but you must choose)

or: Ason Unique, The ODBBBBBBB (Niggas catchin headaches, what? What? You need aspirin?)

or: The Rebel INS, Inspectah Deck (backpacker rap yeah!)

or: The Chef, Raekwon (they need more videos these days with shitloads of dudes jumping around in the background)

or: Meth-Tical, The Method Man (the bus scenes pretty much kill any kind of "grimey" hip hop video these days)

or: Tony Starks, Ghostface Killah (check the hat! I might gotta take my shirt off)

or: Masta Killa

or: U-God (but really?)

um so yeah, vote that shit!

special bonus video: pretty much the only reason to watch "Coffee and Cigarettes", so good

Some D-Grade mixes

2009-02-12T20:20:00.000-08:00

[boot scoot; hah! perfecto]

hey hey!

So I've done a few spur of the moment mixes over the last year. At first i was only gonna post up mixes that were "well mixed" and stuff, but I thought, ehhhhh whatever! So if you listen to these and think I'm a lame DJ that can't mix well, then you're probably right. But if you have as much fun listening to these as I did making them, then sweet! Just give me a big bear hug when you see me as payment.

[click the link biatch!]

Downstairs mix-up: a random as mix that I made cos I was excited about going down to the snow. I could write up the tracklisting but, nah. Kinda bummed I put the old greg thing at the front cos it's kinda cliched now but ahhh whatever that's prob just me being a dick, it's still funny.

Oh shit, actually thats the only one I've updated lately, hah! Just in case you missed, heres some older ones.

Nihon-no-45's: 45's that I bought in Japan! (Enter the Dragon on 45 biatch!)

Mast Dance Practice: a dancehall mix I made aaaaggges ago. Bashment!

The Niceness: also made aaaaaggges ago, believe it or not I actually made about $50 selling this as a cd-r! hah, yeahya hiphopnz.com forums! I've been tryng to put together a suitably "nice" tracklisting together for the Niceness 2 but I keep getting sidetracked by things like this.

um, so I'm thinking what picture should I put at the top? I'm gonna google "scoot boot" and see what comes up.

What have you been doing lately bro?

2008-07-15T02:14:00.000-07:00

Man I feel like the last 2 months have just gone past in like 2 weeks. What with moving into a new flat, various parties, going out, going to the snow etc.

Way back in April some of us dudes decided to go on a "skate tour" which mostly considered of getting drunk in the campground taking bebo styled pictures and laughing at drunk 17 year olds and slighty gay hand holding skating. You can see all the photos here on the FriendBook.

Oh yeah also in that album are some photos of Splore, which seems aaaaaagggges ago. That was super fun times, Pharoah Monch was awesome, but in my opinion Kora KILLED it.

Oh yeah, Easter was fun too, went to Uretiti, more quasi gayness and drinking, haha, photos also on the friendlybook.

Many weekends were spent having a fun mast time at the Wembley flat, especially enjoyed was "mattropolis".

We made Kava

It was pretty gross

I DJed at Fu bar a couple of times at this party called "Rockers in Session", it was pretty fun, come along to the next one if you havent came already, check out their myspace and facebook

We had a party at my flat for the new flatmates (Me and other new comer Nat) and leaving flatmate (Danielle). It turned out real awesome with plenty of dancing and drink spillage and noise control at 2:30am. More photos than you can handle here.

And just this past weekend me a mean as crew (Stu, Sarah, Nico, Simon, Carl, Chris) went down to the mountain for the first time this season. The weather was real shit on saturday but then real nice on sunday but the snow was REAL icey, but hey it was still fun to be snowboarding again. Me and Nico got toasted on the way down, some intense games of 20 Questions were played (I'm still annoyed at Sarah's "I'm the letter O"!), MANY stinky farts and burps stunk out the cabin, funtimes were had on saturday night, good chinese at Taumaranui.

Also we developed a new form of drumming, it kinda hurts though, heh.

Also - Busta Rhymes fucking rules, still

2008-06-15T02:45:00.000-07:00

man I heard this song and just was like !!!!!!!!!!!!! and then I saw the video and was like !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! with a super massive smile on my face

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeah Bussa Bus!

Fuck Weezer rules. Still.

2008-05-27T01:04:00.000-07:00

possibly one of the only bands that I was into when I was 13 that still puts out decent music (Green Day? meh).

This video PWNS (!!). Weezer are geeks and some am I, and it's awesome.

Stop press!!!!!

2008-05-05T23:56:00.000-07:00

yes thats right, its the moment you've all been waiting for, for the past two months all TEN of you have been watching the votes rise and change and then change again, with more twists and ups and downs than the US presidential primary. It's been pretty damn exciting. But finally voting has closed and I can tell you that the most popular cheese is...........

blue vein!!!!

and now, its time for the next its time for a new poll!!!!! like OMG!!!! WTF!!!!!!!!! but this is gonna be a shorter one this time cos the suspense was killing me on that cheese one. Soooooo, the question is:

How do you like your STEAK cooked??

and in case you didnt know about the varying degrees of cooking steak Wikipedia has you sorted.

Happy

2008-04-30T02:54:00.001-07:00

Also, I just remembered about this video, possibly my favourite youtube video ever. No matter what kind of mood you are in, if you watch it, it will make your mood better. If you are feeling sad or bummed out, I gaurantee by the end of it you'll be smiling, and if you are already in a good mood youll be in a even better one.

Yay!

ps. please dont watch/listen to only a bit of it, for full effect you must watch the whole video :)

Tssssssss BLAUOW!!!!!!!

2008-04-29T02:29:00.000-07:00

I havent put anything up on this for ages, blah, so heres some Wu-Tang Office

you must vote for your favourite cheese in the poll!!! only 6 days left!!!!! ahhhhhh!!!

cartoons

2008-03-09T20:27:00.000-07:00

I quite like cartoons (or are these classed as comics? or comic strips?) anyways, these are some choice as ones that I found online.

This one is just the same dinosaur strip each time but with different words each time, sounds weird (and it is) but its surprisingly funny as

the reason why I found this site is cos the dudes friend used the strip as an excercise for his students who were learning english, he got them to write in what the dinosaurs say and the results are awesome, here This site is only for real hard out awesome geeks, some of the cartoons involve maths, awesome huh? (thanks Rebekah for putting me onto this site)

Also this site is pretty awesome too, I sent Paul a bunch of links to the ones I thought was funny the other day while talking to him on msn and he said "I dont really think those are funny", oh well, I think they are funny, maybe you do too, heh

Garfield minus Garfield
bonus comic-video for people who dont wanna read

if you know any other choice comic/cartoon websites and stuff lemme know! (comments or email or EVEN by talking is acceptable)

ps. you MUST vote now for which is your favorite cheese! Blue Vein has broken out just ahead of Camembert, its the battle of the century! more exciting than Obama vs Hillary! vote now!!!

As you get older....

2008-03-02T17:25:00.001-08:00

you find yourself doing more civilised things like having sit down BBQ dinner parties.......

and then learning to do the Soulja Boy dance.....

wicked.

日本の45's

2008-02-13T18:24:00.000-08:00

(My apartment, Akama, Japan, August 2006)

So, while I was in Japan I bought heaps of records, in particular I bought alot of reggae/dancehall 45's, what i didnt realise until I started thinking about this mix was how many other kinds of 45's i bought there too. So I decided to make this mix with (almost) all of the "other" 45s's I bought (reggae mix to come!!). It ended up pretty random (and even a little emo towards the end) and some of the mixing is a bit dodgy but arrr whatever, at least now I can listen to these 45's on the tape player of my "new" 1989 Honda Civic, hehehe. So anyways, here you are, you can download(!!) it by clicking on this link and then clicking where it says "download original" yay!

ps. in case you were wondering, 45's are those little small "cute" records AKA 7"s, yeup....

First Post/Holy Shit!!!!

2007-11-17T08:15:00.000-08:00

So I'm actually still in Japan but I figured this is more appropriate for this blog than my other one cos I figure this can be my blog (man i suck so much!!!) when I get back to NZ cos my other one is called "Mast in Japan" and I clearly wont be in Japan anymore....

Anyways i just wanted to say, I just added to my my spreadsheet of records in NZ (yes I am THAT geeky, wait it gets geekier) my records i bought in japan, and being the spreasheet master i am I made it so it calculated how much my records are worth and it broke the $10,000 mark!!!! holy fucking shit!!!! This list doesnt even take into account all my old 70s 80s records which are probably worth about $7.14 anyways. Dang, I could buy a REAL NICE car for that much money..........

But oh well I got heaps of awesome records instead so haha shame!
