So I've been feeling kind of not so great the past day or so. Yet today, when just being, I started listening to the latest album by Pelican. I've heard it before and it was good, but I realized that it is VERY good. Listen to it!

honesty

I've always thought that honesty was important, and I consider myself to be an honest person in many aspects of life. Sometimes maybe I can be too honest. I recently realized that it is important to be honest in art as well. 

Shit, maybe thats obvious, maybe I was the only one that hadn't realized that by now. Well I realized it, I just didn't recognize how important it truly is until now. 

Lately I have been listening to mostly emo music from the early 90s, what gets more honest than that? When you can hear a person in their music, or see them in their art...I think that's really amazing. Some artists that are really honest:

barr

braid

conor oberst

bomb the music industry!

tim kasher

kanye west

The new Kanye West album has been a huge influence on me as an artist, I don't want to go on and praise it forever and ever right now, I think you know what I think of it by now hah.

Maybe the only way for me to make something valuable is to have it be as honest as possible. 

I'm gonna work on doing that.

black thunder and da naughtiez - tingling sensation (2009)

Here is the new EP from comedy-rap trio Black Thunder and Da Naughtiez. This release marks a new direction for the group, Black Thunder has strayed from its old-school style to a more polished sound similar to modern hip-hop from the likes of Kanye West and Lil' Wayne.
