Mayer Hawthorne.

This dude was introduced to me not too long ago. He's got some "golden oldies rivival" theme going on. Mad classic r&b Soul influenced. Whatever your into, homeboy will deff reel you in. Interesting to say the least. His music doesnt stick my ribs tho...is it wrong to think hes a joke?

I will say his beats are bonkers. Bass guitar loaded funk and percussion with boom bap.

His voice tho? Idk if i can handle it for an ENTIRE album. But yo, thats half these acts today.

If nothing else, we might be at least headed in the right direction.

Action!

The cadged bird cried. Fuck a song


So,
I left class early today to return to my new pajamas & favorite cereal bowl. More importantly, to return to my imagination, my soul. I havent nourished it properly in weeks. Ive been having a bit of robot blues. Repetitious actions repeating like clockwork...Always predictable, always scheduled. Always-fuckin-scheduled. I let the norms of society program me, & basically handed them the remote to my mind.

"Robot blues, robot blues functioning like clockwork. Functioning like news..."
Soul.
Its scarce amongst our music, amongst our words, amongst our appt's & dealines, amongst our humanity, & most alarmingly...our ability?
Constructed & calculated time, words, emotions.
Everything plastic.
Give me some water yo, that shit flows & never goes stale. iFlow
