In The Clush

If Something Unlucky Can Happen,

It will happen to me.

Today I came back to my apartment after a weekend in the city to find that all of DJ equipment was stolen. To add insult to injury, those were the only things stolen, not the 2 Xboxes, not the giant flat screen TV, not the laptop, not the speaker system. Oh happy day.

A Lesson in SWOC

Flo Rida, I’m so impressed with how you can profit off of Bingo Players’ original creativity and actual musical talent. For those who don’t know, no matter what rights you get to sample songs for new productions, “I Cry” is the cheap radio rip off of “Cry (Just A Little).”

In the end, this just promotes the fact that EDM is the pinnacle of SWOC and all others must seek it’s help.

Quote from a Fraternity invite

“I know y’all are feenin to grind and lets be honest, you can’t grind to no EDM…WHACK.”

Clearly they’ve never heard of moombahton before.

Sahel tunes in to provide updates

I have got to be the most boring and slack-ass member of TCL. I apologize to those of you who are loyal readers and listeners and have grown to love the music, the writing, and the diabolical diatribes. So I return to you all to update you on what we have been doing. 

The summer opened up with some of the typical vacation shenanigans: a lot of eating, a sprinkle of reckless indulgence, and boating. OH! and a completely absurd Call of Duty/drinking challenge which left TA and Chris battered and brutally hung over.

As some of you may know I’m moving away from my beloved PA to pursue a graduate degree, so I will be relocating to NY. The move is bittersweet, while it takes me away from home it does put me closer to TA which means that things are going to be moving and moving quickly for us here at TCL. The promise of the upcoming months is exciting. While it introduces a new set of challenges, it also means that the desire, discipline, and dedication that TA has invested in his music and keeping this project vibrant and relevant is going to start paying off. So please stay tuned and in-touch!

TA himself is presently being a scholar, taking some really rad classes. He’s up at the new apartment (it’s awesome!). So, for those of you who know us personally, please feel free to drop him a line, the poor guy has no cable or AC, and I’m sure a hello will be more than welcome. The kid is a total tank, I was up with him a few weeks ago and he’s been gridding songs and really hammering away at Ableton. The same neurotic dedication and insatiable hunger for perfection that brought you four slamming mixes will,once again, surely deliver you something worth having sex to.

As for me I’ve been really on my scholarly grind, trying to prep for my life as an academic. I’ve also been taking a lot of lengthy trips to the Key Stone state. They have been riddled with sex (yummy, yummy sex), drinking, and the kind of calm that can only be found at home. So between visiting home and studying, my creative juices have been halted (maybe even spoiled because I swear to god I haven’t written anything decent in like 2 months). But I’ve rebooted a few stagnant projects and revisited some old and unfinished pieces. I’ve also started something new (it’s got a new folder on my desktop and everything) inspired by Rudy’s idea for the “Biddie Diaries” a fratire-esq Sahel-tells-all expose of my sex life. I’ve got a few things brewing in there, though only time will tell if any of it will see the back-lit glow of the internet. I’ll let you all know how that goes.

All-in-all, we are keeping it together. Stay Clush.
