First of all, a big "no comment" about the Giants in the playoffs this year. Second, I had to put something out there when asked. So, with less than an hour of effort, here's...

Why did they change the photo?

Yeah, yeah, I'm back.

I've been promising to make a new Quickmix all summer long. Between hanging out with my son and showing him how to mix (my young padawan) I decided to drop summer madness to celebrate my birthday, the end of summer, and the memory of a young singer gone too soon. Hope you enjoy!

Download it here.

Summer Madness intro
"A Million Resolutions" - Aaliyah's "We Need A Resolution/Lil Wayne's "A Milli"
"Flashing Cream" - Wu-Tang's "C.R.E.A.M."/Kanye's "Flashing Light"
"What Is Wrong With Me?" - Nas' "It Ain't Hard To Tell"/DJ Jazzy Jeff's "My Soul's Not 4 Sale"
"Check the Baby" - Brandy's "Baby"/ATCQ's "Check the Rhime"
Chase Hawkins Drop (www.swindlr.com)
"Classic 101" - Kanye West's "Better Than I've Ever Been"/G-Unit's "Stunt 101"
"Music's One Thing" - Amerie's "One Thing"/ Erick Sermon's "Music"
"Frontin Haters" interlude
"Sexy, Dangerous Back" - Justin Timberlake's "SexyBack"/Kardinal Offishall's "Dangerous"

I've been in a 90s hip hop mood lately. It's been a cross divide between the early (happier) sound of things like Pete Rock and DJ Premier productions. The other end of the spectrum is that grimey, hide-your-chains-because-the hoods-are-coming-out music (like Onyx, Mobb Deep, and MOP)l So this week I made a "happy chappy" mix (what up Alain!). The hood music (part 2) is coming soon. In the meanwhile, enjoy Timbs Go With Everything, Part 1. If you like it, leave a comment.

The heat might smother you...

172|365 His Dream Lives

I could not fall asleep last night so after I watch the Giants sneak into the Super Bowl I started this little QuickMix in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day. I really wonder what Dr. King would think about the state of today's world. I observed the other day that although his dream has not been fully realized the ball has been dropped in a major way. As a result, today's generation have little to no idea what real struggle is, self-included. For that I'm sad yet hopeful. I'm a master of paradox.

I join many of my online friends daily on Twitter. All day we give updates, crack jokes, and share URLs in tiny formats. Every once in awhile someone will post something poignant that ends up staying with me throughout the day. Today Fave hit me hard:

i believe the worst feeling in the world 4 a man is one of worthlessness.
