Fisherman’s Blues

 

There are these chance encounters you have that inevitably will alter the course of your entire life. When they happen they aren’t so apparent; just seemingly accidental occurrences in our otherwise unremarkable days. For me, meeting Kyle Palmer was one of these life-altering events, leading to a friendship that would span over twenty years and lead me on some of the wildest, funniest, and sometimes life-threatening experiences I’ve ever had. There is not a single person on this planet that is or was anything like Kyle. You’ve never truly lived unless you’ve rode as his passenger in a vehicle, flying down the freeway at impossible speeds, possibly seeing your existence flash before you like a super-8 movie as part of your soul leaves your body and is now looking down at you.

Music drove so much of my development back then, and I had parallel discoveries with hip hop and punk simultaneously. This is a mixtape of my favorite hip hop tracks from this particular time period.

Top Ten Playlist for 2016
Again another year just skyrocketed by, and I probably went to more live shows this year (without being on a long tour) than ever in my show-going history. I think this was definitely the year for synth for me; also due to the fact that I have been working on an exciting new, yet-to-be-named darkwave project that is set to debut sometime in 2017. There was so much entropy in 2016, from losing dear friends to tragedy and illness, the relative state of political instability back home and abroad… this was a dark year for me and many of my friends. Perhaps a little of that is reflected in this list as well.
