Git @ it here:
http://www.rhythm-incursions.com/2009/11/09/tokimonsta-let-me-trick-u/

It's a dark and heavy tune.. def good for those of you who were into my BF mix several months ago.



PS
The title of my EP is "Cosmic Intoxication." Just thought you might want to know....


PS Numero Dos
I heard something.. about free ***** that will be given away.. in London.. on 25th.. at the Lightbox..

You know rumors.... ;)




BIG EDIT
Not a rumor anymore!!
"RAMP Recordings is set to drop an unfeasibly limited 12” EP of exclusive beats and treats, and will be giving it away 100% free at the Lightbox on the 25th of November! The vinyl features tracks from every act playing on the night, and will be signed by each of the artists. This 12” will only be available at the Lightbox, so get down early to secure your free copy!"

became A.D.D again

got back from my little showcase @ boombox (devonwho, snowman, proh mic kiltit) and dropping off baked goods at the "master overseer" adam's crib. i'm sick and i should be asleep.. or at least workin on music, but no.. i changed the layout for my site and my logo again.


QUESTION
anyone good at making things look clean on photoshop? the lines on my logo bleeds.. i'm not really a big graphic design pro and i have no idea how to use illustrator.

anyone good at css? how do i make my logo link back to the homepage?

i'm kind of a jack of all trades, but a master of none. i know enough to get by, but not really enough to be considered skilled, by any means. maybe this is a good thing. if all i did all day was make beats, design, draw, and bake--when would i have time to drink, hang out with my friends, and go shopping? balance, it's all a balance... or a short attention span.

EDIT:
Thanks to Dennis and Supplice!!! Your help is very much appreciated and is already in use :)



btw
did you guys peep my cupcake on twitter?

"Zucchini Brownie with Cocoa Cream Cheese Frosting w. Toasted Pecans"
(you don't taste the zucchini, it's a moisture content thing)




















I haven't made my green tea muffins for a while, maybe I'll make that next time.



BRAINFEEDER SESSIONS @ the Downtown Independent Theatre

i have design ADD

I just changed my logo and lay out for my myspace, blog, and twitter. Does that make me a loser? I just get bored of looking at the same things all the time, or something.

Anywho, for those of you guys who bootleg my tracks: I'm not dumb. If I look on last.fm and see a bunch of tracks being played I haven't released... I know there's some rar file roaming around the net. I'm a little bit of a geek myself so I know how this works. Regardless, I guess I had it coming since I tend to post up a lot of preview tracks--I guess I'm too trusting. Well, you could at least to me the honor of spelling the track name correctly. "Stigmatising" is not a word, "STIGMATIZING" is a word--the correct word. Just FYI.


Nyquil is awesome btw.

EDIT
i'm NOT giving anyone the green light to try to scope the internet and illegally dL my shit. i clearly DONT want that--they're just poor quality rips. please just wait for the official releases. it's not a money thing, but a quality thing. i can't avoid the spread of music--that's love, but i would like to avoid the spread of low bitrate, poor mixed rips of songs that aren't out yet.

Ive given you guys tons of free downloads and dope free mixes with great tunes. It's not like you guys don't have something to listen to in the meantime, right?

Just imagine if you were in my position and this was your life.

one last show b4 I'm off to the land of "no driving, just walking"

As far as the European "walking" custom goes, when Ras G tells you to bring sneakers, you bring sneakers. On the real, I've walked all over Seoul and Tokyo, but not while carrying 50 lbs of gear and luggage. All I need is a flying saucer, then all my problems would be solved---an added bonus is knowing that even Diddy can't beat an entrance like that. ..probably run into issues with the CIA or something.. or FBI? or the UN? I don't know what I'm talking about anymore, I'm just rambling. Last night, my friends short circuited my brain with an indecent amount of rum hidden in mango nectar.
