merry christmas... enjoy... and please, tell me what you think here: laurence@randomcitizen.com

Whilst plaing guitar hero one day, I broke my finger and so I didn't get a chance to record the mix until my hand was proper. What an excuse! I'm a late mofo, but still I delivered and can barely believe it myself. This mix is a one take, wow I can't believe it turned out like this, dookie colored gem. Who really cares what it sounds like?

Oh, lastly, in 4 episodes i've got over 1000 subscribers. Does this mean absolutely anything whatsoever? I have absolutely no idea. If someone out there knows, than please tell someone who gives a fart!

Holy shit - I almost freaked out when I realized I couldn't find this mix...

This is Tim's Mix - a dedication to my homeboy Tim's flavor in Hip Hop. Tim's old ass just turned 29. We all went to dinner this past friday and I kept teasing that I was going to post this. 10 million l's later, here I am - on thursday.

Tim provided most of the tracks in this mix. Tim likes everything from TLC to NKOTB and maybe a little Nas or Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal...
I got some new technology in my home 'bedroom' as it technically doesn't count as a studio due to comments from, un, some girl... whatever. Rockin' some serato and some actual pressings. Man, lately I have been on a online record spree... yeah, i've been to my local record stores too, but how the hell am i going to find Timbalind and Magoo's Indian Flute or some old Blowfly shit? I tell em order and they say 'you aren't famous'.

New technology, new birthdays, mass drunkiness on Friday starting with beer, wine, a tasty as steak i left at an art gallery, more beer, then some shots (first mistake), then some club and then some other club and more drinks... out like a muhfuckah the next day until at least 3 o'clock... nothing cures hangovers like a q-p w/ cheese and fries from mickey d's...

mmm tasty.... enjoy but let's be real with one another:

as my fingers feel less and less feeling, my skills fade... well whatever... this is a little better than last...

Well, well , well... you're back for a third episode... prolly because i invited you to come and all that jazz. This has really taken off for me, only in the matter that I can check out my stats and see that I have well over 200 subscribers... Whoa! I dedicate this mix to spontaneity. Sometimes, a mood just strikes you and you hit record and just try and mix any record that comes to mind... This set is unedited, full of fuck ups (like Dubya's career) but frankly i'm happy about it. All the original pops and clicks and skips from these records are in there. NO edits! NO miscallaneous TB production... This is me hitting a brick wall... frankly I don't give a damn.. Not everything is perfect... actually nothing is perfect except for the creator they tell me. Regardless, this set really captures who I am and what I am attempting to do. I am second guessing whether or not i should even post it so I am just going to say fuck it and do it! Lastly, this set is longer than my usual attempted 30 minute duration... In fact, it well exceeds that by almost 10 minutes... Those of you who know me understand that an attention span of more than 5 minutes is diifcult for me... Regardless, i just wanted to share a piece of this rawness with you.

Tumor boomer - Episode 2 - The Heater Mix...

Hotter than July? This should cool you down, though this mix was created with many sweat filled hours in my 8x7 studio; no AC. Here you'll find more of my favorites that I grew up with and some more flavors in general. The focus on this edition is not so much on 'dj trickery' but more about hip hop (with some cuttin' and scratchin' added for extra flavor) and the art of the mix.

Stay tuned for Episode 3 - a salute to some other aspect of hip hop I have yet to even think about putting together at this point - Please enjoy!
