Kanye West - Monster (feat. Jay-Z, Rick Ross, Bon Iver & Nicki Minaj) [mp3]

Confession: none of the leaked Kanye tracks have really grabbed me.

With that said, the Nicki Minaj verse on this track is NUTZ.  Like, totally out of control and amazing.  I think I skimmed read somewhere that Nicki sometimes raps using alter egos… and I’m pretty sure all of them showed up and are battling for control.

Was anyone going to tell me that that Yacht Rock done by local Vancouver bands party was happening again? Turns out it’s this Friday at The Biltmore… and they’re screening all 12 episodes of Yacht Rock before the bands start! I want to go but this will really test my will power (no more drinks until race day).

In iTunes 10 we’re announcing Ping — it’s a social network for music. It’s like Facebook and Twitter meet iTunes. It’s all about music.

Did anyone else just see this and think, “NOOOOOOOOO!!! Not another time-suck social media-y dashboard to deal with”?

Here it is, the picture of me which sits on the proverbial Venn diagram intersection of awesome and stupid. Hi Internet, I’ve been offline for the last week and it’s been wonderful.  I was on a bit of a trek across BC doing the following: driving endlessly meeting up and hanging out with great friends, in fields, hot tubs, and patios roughing it! with mosquitos! camp fires! and huddling for warmth! mountain biking white water rafting (yeah, I’m surprized at that one too) public speaking public drinking playing with kids… and not being freaked out about it attending a wonderful and intimate wedding quietly dealing with loss (unrelated to any of the above) Anyways, I’m home now.  Summer 2010 has been nuts and/or well lived by me.

Apparently, there are A LOT of 800% slower remixes out there now...

I think my favorite of the bunch is the Tears For Fears one… I actually can actually sorta recognize the piano riff.
