  Crazy that this song came out in 1888!! YouTube description below on Eric Satie:
  
  Alfred Eric Leslie Satie (Honfleur, 17 May 1866 — Paris, 1 July 1925) was a French composer and pianist. Starting with his first composition in 1884, he signed his name as Erik Satie.
  
  Satie was introduced as a “gymnopedist” in 1887, shortly before writing his most famous compositions, the Gymnopédies. Later, he also referred to himself as a “phonometrograph” or “phonometrician” (meaning “someone who measures (and writes down) sounds”) preferring this designation to that of “musician,” after having been called “a clumsy but subtle technician” in a book on contemporary French composers published in 1911.
  
  In addition to his body of music, Satie also left a remarkable set of writings, having contributed work for a range of publications, from the dadaist 391 to the American Vanity Fair. Although in later life he prided himself on always publishing his work under his own name, in the late nineteenth century he appears to have used pseudonyms such as Virginie Lebeau and François de Paule in some of his published writings.
  
  Satie was a colourful figure in the early 20th century Parisian avant-garde. He was a precursor to later artistic movements such as minimalism, repetitive music and the Theatre of the Absurd.
  The Gymnopédies, published in Paris starting in 1888, are three piano compositions written by French composer and pianist, Erik Satie.

  No man is an island,
  Entire of itself.
  Each is a piece of the continent,
  A part of the main.
  If a clod be washed away by the sea,
  Europe is the less.
  As well as if a promontory were.
  As well as if a manor of thine own
  Or of thine friend’s were.
  Each man’s death diminishes me,
  For I am involved in mankind.
  Therefore, send not to know
  For whom the bell tolls,
  It tolls for thee.

- Wale ft. Big Sean - Slight Work. Diplo is producing some good rap beats. Stupid simple: 1) That weird bongo sound from “Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop” 2) A siren he chopped up 3) Two syllable vocal sample 4) A handful of buttons on a drum machine So strong! The whole album is real good.

- Electro DJ Wolfgang Gartner teamed up with Harlem rappers Jim Jones and Cam’ron (2nd verse) for this incredible song “Circus Freaks” which I’ve had on repeat all week. Cam’ron’s verse’s references and randomness is always a joy : ”girl i’m selfish / shellfish lobster / look at you, relish / got on velvet”.

- “Daylight” by Yesterday’s New Quintet. This is from the first album of Yesterday’s New Quintent. This album was released on 9/11/11, the same day that Jay-Z released the Blueprint. The fun thing here is that Yesterday’s New Quintent does not actually exist. There is one hip hop producer, Madlib, who works with MF Doom and Erykah Badu and he is playing every instrument in this jazz quartet. Not only does he make all the music himself, he concocts the officially published but totally invented story of the band, the band members, and the how the band is evolving.

- Sunday morning house music: “My Feelings for You” by Avicii, from Avicii’s awesome Dec 11, 2010 Essential Mix. Even though house music is the best cleaning music, house music was invented by gay black and latino men in the 1980’s and ironically has nothing to do with the house dress, pioneered by suburban housewives in the 1950’s.

- WATCH THE THRONE (contd.) The choruses on WTT from Frank Ocean, an R&B singer who’s part of OFWGKTA are alright, but this is the solo Frank Ocean jam I’ve been playing on repeat. He turned the falsetto up to 11 on this spaced out beat, so awesome.

- If you are a fan of the Diplomats or just NY rap in general, you must download this mixtape. It is a true classic. Max B, who co-wrote Jim Jones’ “We Fly High”, has such a unique flow, like a Harlem version of Bone Thugz. He’s made an incredible amount of mixtape material and he apparently is still releasing music despite currently doing a 75 year sentence for murder.

- One of the best parts of working at home is that when I need a break, I can two step around the apartment listening to this song. Maybe we can get a break room at work, or something…

- Lil’ Wayne offers a few candid thoughts on work/life balance in this skit on The Dedication 3 mixtape. I like to think of this as an edgier rephrasing of Ken Griffin, billionaire hedge fund manager, saying “The money is a byproduct of a passionate endeavor.” Stream the Lil Wayne documentary (recommended), and you get to watch The Best Rapper Alive alienate his friends and family while working and staying intoxicated non-stop. Wayne seems totally non-functional outside of music, but his singular focus on greatness seems to be as a conscious choice. #tradeoffs #IgnoreAtYourPeril
