The Ideal of a Virtuoso:
"...a virtuoso was, originally, a highly accomplished musician, but by the nineteenth century the term had become restricted to performers, both vocal and instrumental, whose technical accomplishments were so pronounced as to dazzle the public."
Aiming for something better than a "rapper".

Halfway through the video is were it gets really interesting. Make sure you watch it in HD though. But anyway, this is UNKLE with "Heaven"..

Our first show in NY and it will be unforgettable, I promise!
We are performing at GrungeCake Magazines fundraiser in New York, while simultaneously others will be performing in L.A. We're performing with a few artists we're familiar with already such as Trey-R, Peaceful Money etc. So it's damn near like a "homecoming" event, (especially for me).

GrungeCake Summer Event Dates have been posted. June 26th, July 10th and August 21st. June 26th is the GrungeCake Bake Sale, in which, will debut the official "GrungeCake" and showcase live music. Who are the artists? The best of the interested will be selected. If your song selections are alive and vibrant you will have a longer set. Think wisely. July 10th is the premiere of episode of The GrungeCake Crisis World Magazine and its first film. There will also be live music. I love live music, what can I say? The same will apply and August 21st will be my first world sound design experiment. I plan to get Violet Mic involved. There will be cheap alcoholic drinks and mushrooms on deck (I kid about the mushrooms.) Cheap drinks means you will be escorted off of the premises, if wild enough. Magazines will also be on sale of course. Filming and photographs will be taken. If you are running from the government-heres the hint-Do not show up! I am also looking for new, independent companies to sponsor with products with products I dig. RSVP invite only! If you pre-ordered my second magazine, your admission is free for all events this summer. The events mentioned are fundraisers for my late-uncles and family in Liberia who I have lost this April. If you would like to volunteer, support, cook, bake, bartender, donate, host, help, DJ, photograph, secure, sponsor, (face)paint and give merchandise for gift bags- simply, respond to this text message. PS I have no shame and I love you all. Dont keep this to yourself. Blog it, spread the fortunate word.

Day n Night
I usually don't go to sleep until 5:30-6am. Why? Honestly I have no clue. The irony behind it is that I'm known as a "dreamer", someone who always has goals, passions & dreams. But what's a dream if you never sleep? Lol. But anyway, I'm listening to Kid Cudis' "Day n Night" and the brotha is 100% right when he says "the lonely stoner seems to free his mind at night". Though I'm not a "stoner" nor "lonely", my mind feels "free" at night. Like, the peace and the silence allows me to have clear thoughts...free thoughts...dreams, with minimum influence from others. I often come up with the best ideas around this time as well. So I blog to you at 3am!!!! As I continue to come up with ideas, plans and goals that need fulfillment.

I call this segment..."If you don't know, now you know".
Basically what I'm doing now is helping promote cool/ dope/ innovative music to you all who like, cool/ dope and/ or innovative music. So first up we have "Jon Hopkins". A British Musician, who writes and records his own music. His style is "electronica", and his number one asset is his imagination. His music is like a backdrop for creative thought, in my opinion. But listen to it, love it and spread the word! An open mind is a peaceful mind..
