Basement Jaxx, Blue Lines, Key Yemaya Walker, Lights Go Down, Metropole Orkest, New To You Music Sundays

Constant collaborators Metropole Orkest, who have worked with fave Antony and the Johnsons in the past, am with Basement Jaxx to recreate and enhance their work on previous works. The current selection “Lights Go Down,” is transformed into an emotional pouring that would be best suited for an amazing evening with the…lights going down. Enjoy.


The manuscript Blue Lines is the fictional coming of age narrative of a young California woman Key Yemaya Walker, and her 2 year growing journey through school, love, and life period piece, written by Kenneth Suffern, Jr., taking place at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill between the years of 1997 – 1998. Loosely based on true events, and experiences during that time, told through the eyes and voice of the main female protagonist, a freshman first attending the school.

I want to run away with you,
Escape what we know,
Escape from yesterday,
Escape to our future,
For just awhile,
 

I want to escape with you,
A modern day Bonnie and Clyde,
On a plane, nestled against me,
For our temporary while,
 

May I leave with you,
You can dream the destination,
Leaving on our whims,
Alas, you and I for awhile,

Hip-Hop Quotable Wednesdays – Recess (Sene & Blu) – “How do you sleep?” Blu’s verse

Atlanta Braves, Blu, Blue Lines, California, Hip-Hop Quotable Wednesdays, How do you sleep?, I Need Sleep, Key Yemaya Walker, Recess, Sene, Sene & The Clubhouse Are Recess, Sleep

Being that I got no rest last night, this is appropriate.

Blu:
Yeah,
I just dream about another finer beauty, silent minds undiscovered,
Hiding under covers,
Let me climb up in, and sit and wonder,
About a distant lover,
Or about a mother, makes you ponder about creation,
All I am is creative, the monster or the nightmare
Staring darkness in the eyes, until I rise,
Staring at the hands of time as if a button could rewind,
It all,
Have you ever slept and dreamt you were a god,
Will you leave this life the same, or will it actually evolve…

Blue Lines Blog – New Prose – “I Don’t Want To Write Tonight”

25 Monday Jul 2011

Bed, Blue Lines, Distance, Fame, iPad, iPhone, Key Yemaya Walker, Pen, poetry, Prose, text, writing

I’m not complaining, but the title sums up my feeling…I didn’t really feel like writing. I just couldn’t stop. I actually like some parts of this, and for the third time, I’ve easily added a new element. I hope you enjoy…I am thankful that I am having this period of inspiration, because I know the 8-9 years that I could not really write, made me question myself. Well without further adieu:

“I Don’t Want To Write Tonight”
KS 7/25/11
My grip wavered as I took the pen,
Fingers sloppy as I typed,
Eyes weary as I peered at the screen,
I just want to lay with you, I don’t want to write tonight,

Misspelled my words on the iPad,
Distracted by the song playing,
Consumed by the game on,
I just want to be nestled with you, I don’t want to write tonight,

Cognizant of the night turning to day,
Waiting for the alarm to go off,
You curled up in a cold ball,
Why am I here and not with you, I don’t want to write tonight,

New To You Music Sundays – This Should Be In Your Playlist – SBTRKT (posted from iPad)

Aaron Jerome, Basement Jaxx, Blue Lines, Hold On, iPad, ITunes Live Festival, Key Yemaya Walker, Little Dragon, London, N.A.S.A., Sampha, SBTRKT, Wildfire, Young Turks, Yukimi Nagano

Thanks to Little Dragon, and a delayed realization that their single with Yukimi of LD, was in my “Recently Added,” folder, I began to try to listen to their work.

Though, unfair to categorize these artists with N.A.S.A and Basement Jaxx, SBTRKT (Aaron Jerome) employ the same faceless artist concept, however they employ significantly less appearances by other artists. Supported primarily by Sampha on vocals and to a lesser extent relying artists on the affiliated Young Turks label, for support.

I was finally sold after their iTunes Live Festival in London performance, and had to more of their music. Opening the album with “Heatwave,” a wordless starter that cements that as something new and fresh. Followed by the similarly infectious “Hold On,” anchored by:

“…you’re giving me the coldest stare,
Like you don’t even know I’m here…”

It easily pulls you in, however convincing you that they have a distinct sound. Then comes the game changer as the Yukimi Nagano (Little Dragon) powered “Wildfire,” opens the door to the remaining 8 Tracks that follow.

Sampha continues to shine on “Something Goes Right,” and “Trials Of The Past,” giving this electronically album more of an classic (read not today’s sex and pop driven R&B) R&B and downbeat feel.

Highlights: the aforementioned “Hold On,” the Yukimi fueled “Widfire,” “Pharoahs,” and “Heatwave.”
