I'm a firm believer that for something good to be good, you have to know what shitty is. So every once in a while I'm just going to write a broke ass post or two so you guys aren't spoiled all the time. Music will always be good don't trip. I'll be back later this afternoon to blow your mind.

Crazy how people can communicate through their music. The honorable Jimi Hendrix once said that music would replace weapons one day and that peace would be found through songs. Other bands just come straight out with it.

Death, Taxes and Kevinthekid

One time I was asked if I knew what the two things that are guaranteed in life were. I probably said something like waves and chocolate milk (which in my opinion is a damn good answer.) But they challenged me by arguing that their two really uninteresting dinguses were death and taxes. Blah, blah, blah. Tonight I'm here to add a more optimistic one to the list--it's Sunday nights. I'm going to try my best to negate the other two by putting up some good music for everyone and making Sunday nights something to look forward to. From now on, expect some fine ditties here at kevinthekid on Sunday from here on out.

Over The Big Names in Hip-Hop

These guys just delivered their new mixtape Air Swell today and they will be dropping an album at the end of this summer like in August. I dig their style and appearance and they bring something new and different to the hip-hop scene that has been controlled by pimps and hos for long enough. I don't know about you guys but I could never relate to any of them--like I've never really had a jet plane or a red lambo. Don't get me wrong there are some great hip-hop songs out there but times are changing and there's literally a whole new sphere of music surfacing and it turns out that there's a lot of really good stuff being made.

These guys combine attributes from hip-hop while providing a house/electro back drop ALL FROM SCRATCH. This is what kevinthekid is all about--just straight monumental shit like you know? I hope they stick around for a while and keep their momentum and energy without blowing up too, too fast. Chiddy.

It Is What You Make It

There's this dazzle in the air..... and it's giving me this sensation that there are going to be a lot of young people recklessly pursuing pleasure in all of the different cities out there on the skyline.

You KNOW that there are some people in Sydney and Barcelona and in Sweden and Norway that are just going to be getting it done right tonight; you can guarantee that. It's FRIDAY NIGHT across the world folks! This is one of the two nights of the week that is ABSOLUTELY inappropriate to sell short.

If you take all the people who are going out tonight across the world in to account--tonight is going to be GUSTO. There are only a few songs that can really give you that galactical attitude (the one and only frame of mind) suitable for nights COSI.

Hailing from somewhere in Italy--PHONAT. (curtain rises)

Freedom

This brings to mind the philosophical idea that as humans we are nothing but freedom. Aside from living in peace and progress and many other things we are free to do whatever we want. We were never asked to be put here on earth, we just were and have grown in to and become ourselves. This being said, the hardest part is actually doing things and feeling free afterward. It's so easy to feel that we are being forced in to a daily submission for the sake and satisfaction of others. I have come to understand that this isn't so bad if you find a way to break the daily routine. Sleep, go to school, come home, kick it, party, whatever, fall asleep, wake up and do it all over again. Today's post goes out to being free and doing stupid, crazy, dumb stuff because we just want to feel the freedom that we essentially are. It's quite liberating if you think about it. Every once in a while, break the routine, go do something crazy.

Here's a legit song - run it.

1. French Horn Rebellion - Up All Night

2. Bubble Gum Sci Fi - The Reeling (Passion Pit)

3. Lo Fi Fnk - Want U

Think Galactical

I want to fly but gravity has me stuck to ground. All I know is what I've experienced here on earth. When I look up at the stars it puts everything in to perspective (in its truest form.) We all live on islands surrounded by oceans on a humungous planet that's ripping a few thousand miles per hour through space. Yet we all still keep it close knit without ever straying too far from the norms. I don't know I could go on for a while but I'm on my way out the door--headed home. Ain't that some shit.
