Well I’ll be damned. “Novakane” hittin’ stores on October 24, 2006 (supposedly). Go support, cause “the choice is yours!”

I don’t know what it was that led me to Kasabian’s webiste just right now, but I was quite awe struck about finding out the change on their site, as well as the press about their new album, Empire. Meanwhile, I also found out that they were about to perform at Letterman in just a few minutes. I was fortunate enough to catch them.
Anyways, make sure to have a listen to this group if you haven’t already. As I’ve said before, “these blokes rock rat-ass!” So what about it eh?! Give ’em a play and I promise you, you’ll hear nothing more than pure exhilaration!
I have to admit, Kanye “did it again” (as Jay‑Z would say). Another one for the record books. A CD that you can actually buy and not stress if its worth the money or not. I had the opportunity to listen to it, and was impressed and amazed. Each track… each track, OMG… its really hard to describe the feeling that you get when you’re listening to this album. The only solution is for you to listen to it on your own. Bottomline, go cop it in-stores tomorrow.
If you are looking for books and ordering through Amazon.com, its $10.99 there… click here to add it to your cart.
Here’s the complete track-listing:
looking back and trying to fix up my old archived entries in this blog, i went down memory lane. it was great to read and think about the days of the past. its just weird that i never knew how much this blog has evolved into a journal of someone who started it off to be a learning place for web design/development.
meanwhile, as the drum* plays to the beat of the second-hand, my days have been spent in a new environment. i’m surprised that i’m still learning a grip of things everyday at the job and about myself over here. its surprising that when you’re in a new “perspective”, you find things all-relative to what you were accustomed before.
to those that know what i’m talking about, let me know… i really can’t explain this phenomenon as its one of those things that you just have to do in order to experience. but maybe an example of some sort… ok, lets say when you’re a kid who never knew/felt fire for the first time; you’re parents/fam member(s) woulda probably said or prohibited you to touch a candle light as its dangerous—and it hella hurts.
but, you still try it; because there’s a little mischief in all of us and we didn’t know better back in the days. so yah, back to square one. its been a great experience so far being some place “somewhat” different. when i say “somewhat”, i mean that “its all relative” (as juan would say it). some examples of this theory:
as you can tell, everything is everything—as lauryn would say. but it is this fact that keeps us (or most of us) to try and do our best in every moment of our lives. so when we look back, whether it be through a blog, an old photo album, a diary, etc… we could at least say: “i remember”.
so, i hope everyone spend their days in both clarity and with fun. learn something new each day, as most people would say; whether it be:
be pro-active, pro-“life”, pro-crastinate…i mean… you know what i mean—do something positive. so peace till the moment is here, you’ll read/hear my words when it gets there. word.
from my mind to yours, “hangin in a chow line, good times.”
Yes yes… one of the best producers alive, as well as someone who brings more to this positive element people call “hip-hop”… Kanye West, has just dropped his “official” debut cd College Dropout. I say “official” because he had another release early december 2003. That “advance” release were re-mastered/re-mixed on his “official” from what I’m hearing.

All-in-all, this album is something different. Made myself listen to it, as well as analyze the damn song (lyrics and beats). I can truly say beats, rhyme, and reason—hands down, one of the best hiphop (solo-artist) debut CD I ever bought and enjoyed in a while (maybe even since wyclef’s Carnival). As he said on MTV, VH1, and BET… go download it wherever/however you can—and if you like it, support…buy it! I guarantee that you will.
