A Physical Fraction

So this damn blog still works! its been gathering dust, and lots of it. I think it must have been like three months since I last posted anything on here. But as you can read, thats kind of how this blog works. One day i post something, then maybe a couple of days later I post something, then all of a sudden, I post something three or four months later.

I think it has something to do with my mood and my state of mind at any given time, because to post something, it doesnt really take that much time. Well maybe the linking of the pictures does. But other than that its pretty fluid. Freestyle writing is what I usually do. Maybe I just never had anything important to share. Or, more realistically, maybe I just didnt give a fuck anymore, and told myself 'fuck it, blog when you blog' or something a long those lines. Yip, its definitely that.

I do have some music to talk about, things I have been listening to in the past couple of weeks. I will try my best (not really, who the fuck am I kidding here) to post some of the artists and albums. But if I dont, then let it be. Up first, Mike Skinner from The Streets. I have been listening to his last album 'Computers & Blues' recently I am loving it to the max. Its very soulful and techy, and features lots of pure funk. Plus, what makes The Streets so potent, is obviously his lyrics. Heres the DL:

Mike Skinner is known by his stage name The Streets and is a rapper from Birmingham. He rose to fame with the release of his Mercury Music Prize-nominated debut album Original Pirate Material.

Mike Skinner's love of music began at a young age, when he started playing keyboards and when he was a teenager, he formed a small recording studio in his bedroom. He made garage and hip-hop music with a group of friends. Since the age of seven, Skinner has suffered from epilepsy.

In 2000, Locked On released 'Has It Come To This'. The label had previously had success with a track by The Artful Dodger, featuring Craig David. 'Has It Come To This?' received a great deal of radio airplay and broke the UK Top 20.

The single was soon followed with the release of the album Original Pirate Material. The album was a huge success both with the public and with music critics. The Streets' second album was entitled A Grand Don't Come For Free. The debut single from the album, 'Fit But You Know It' was released in May 2004 and reached number four in the UK singles chart. The album was a concept album about a man that loses £1,000, starts a relationship, goes on holiday, breaks up the relationship and finds the cash again. The second single, 'Dry Your Eyes' went straight to number one in the UK.
