These things are in fact, important components to maintaining ones reputation, especially one who is "reppin Sammamish."  So here is, "Hoodie Halfway."  The song features the &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/quadraticemcees"&gt;Quadratic Emcees&lt;/a&gt; and KAotic.

Fa sho this is the next high school Tunecore exploiter.  No kidding the debut only lasted about a year.  Notice how the "LISTENERS ALSO BOUGHT" section consists of "Jibbs featuring Jibbs," "Ay Bay Bay," and "DJ Jazzy Jeff &amp; The Fresh Prince: Greatest Hits," among others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is only too bad that y'all can't experience the true beauty of "Tha Legacy."  This album was a classic, complete with, "Haters," "Police," Police Pt.II," and my personal favorite, "Thugology."  This album survived a well-rounded three years before it was either recalled by the managers of the Tunecore-iTunes relations, or Vik took it down himself, simply as a gesture that it should remain in exclusiveness.  Either way, the suthenticity is evident.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;tic talk&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2687913365887007912-8872382302484746413?l=tictalking.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tictalking.blogspot.com/feeds/8872382302484746413/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2687913365887007912&amp;postID=8872382302484746413' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2687913365887007912/posts/default/8872382302484746413'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2687913365887007912/posts/default/8872382302484746413'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tictalking.blogspot.com/2008/05/slick-vik.html' title='Slick Vik'/><author><name>tic talk / linus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03551412357666206562</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_kNm4HZfJpiM/SAQ97_UHO9I/AAAAAAAAACA/4xDBTnzFo2w/S220/italy+mountaintop.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687913365887007912.post-8342253126052708780</id><published>2008-05-30T17:06:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-30T18:06:54.094-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hipster rap'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nov Ganon'/><title type='text'>Nov Ganon</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://a272.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/28/l_c99bf4cb7106579d0399206d878dac97.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://a272.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/28/l_c99bf4cb7106579d0399206d878dac97.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://myspace.com/novganon"&gt;Nov Ganon&lt;/a&gt;, aka Kevin Campbell, is an 22 year-old Brooklyn rapper that began his musical career in 1999.  He scorns rappers that have a lot to say but never bring anything to the table and likes pancakes and "champane" together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seriously though, this dude's tight!  He has a really tight song that features Daft Punk.  It is perhaps the newest jittery "Jyeah" 125 BPM dancerap anthem with looped barks in the background. Think "Talk Yo Ish" by Mickey Factz. It's called, "Oh Yea."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then there's, "Dressed to Impress." It samples Biggie's "Dress.. to impress / Spark this bitch's interest" from Hypnotize as well this same aforementioned 90s hip hop anthem's &lt;a href="http://www.jamglue.com/tracks/72019-Herb-Alpert-Rise"&gt;bassline&lt;/a&gt;.

What is it, a down-and-out personalized internet radio service trying to find purpose in the annoying as fuck but monopolistic google ads?  Or maybe a completely unheard of search engine trying to pick up on hopelessly inaccurate and irrelevant keywords of someone's current page?  Yes, you heard me google—irrelevant! I know your all big on "relevance" in your ads but honestly, THERE'S NONE THERE!  Put that in your little &lt;a href="http://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&amp;answer=6519"&gt;honesty box&lt;/a&gt;.  And how the fuck is MIA relevant to Heartsrevolution?!  OK, maybe I do like both of those artists but it's not supposed to be psychic!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey MIA interns, get your shit together!  It's a privilege to work for Maya!  I mean come on! Just because Seth Rogen got 90 seconds of, "All I wanna do is bang bang bang bang" (no not that kind of bang pervert) doesn't mean you need Google Adwords to prove it.  Did &lt;a href="http://www.survivormusic.com/"&gt;Survivor's site&lt;/a&gt; seek Google's employment when that one horrible animated movie improperly imported the motivating spirit of, "Eye of the Tiger"?

Pretty heavy on the usual: unnervingly general stories about average struggling couples—he does this she does that he thinks this she thinks that—not very diverse in the spectrum of subject matter.  But, Ant's beats are tight—completely not what I expected judging from the the Strictly Leakage mixtape, yea it was a freebee but it was supposed to show a little of what to come.  Anyway, it's different, regardless of the subject matter.  For example, Guarantees is all acoustic with Slug vocals.  Pretty different.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's one of my favorites, it's about a prostitute that can't get away from "skinny white dick," you know, the usual.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://download.yousendit.com/F1670E3E6406D544"&gt;Atmosphere - Yesterday&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=278120690&amp;s=143441"&gt;Click here&lt;/a&gt; to buy the album.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, on the subject of painting things gold, the following Macbook Air has been coated with an extra layer of 24-karat gold, making it $8,000!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plus, it also has the Classic Apple rainbow logo logo on the back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2008/04/macbookair3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2008/04/macbookair3.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2008/04/macbookair1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2008/04/macbookair1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://gizmodo.com/382448/gold-macbook-air-has-bejeweled-rainbow-apple"&gt;Click here&lt;/a&gt; for bigger pictures and more info.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w209/heartschallenger/heartandoutline.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px;" src="http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w209/heartschallenger/heartandoutline.gif" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, new Heartsrevolution remix by LA Riots!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://this.bigstereo.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/Switchblade%20(LARIOTS%20RMX).mp3"&gt;Heartsrevolution - Switchblade&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;tic talk&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2687913365887007912-5969851232457905017?l=tictalking.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tictalking.blogspot.com/feeds/5969851232457905017/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2687913365887007912&amp;postID=5969851232457905017' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2687913365887007912/posts/default/5969851232457905017'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2687913365887007912/posts/default/5969851232457905017'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tictalking.blogspot.com/2008/04/when-life-gives-you-lemons-you-paint.html' title='WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS, YOU PAINT THAT SHIT GOLD'/><author><name>tic talk / linus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03551412357666206562</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_kNm4HZfJpiM/SAQ97_UHO9I/AAAAAAAAACA/4xDBTnzFo2w/S220/italy+mountaintop.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687913365887007912.post-1568039799670465193</id><published>2008-04-22T19:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-22T21:50:00.258-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bumblebeez'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Heartsrevolution'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Louis La Roché'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Atmosphere Italy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='disco sirens'/><title type='text'>Louis La Roché / Heartsrevolution / Bumblebeez / Atmosphere Italy</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://a655.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/85/l_3bc47645a93ed6b74b45b637558e05b6.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px;" src="http://a655.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/85/l_3bc47645a93ed6b74b45b637558e05b6.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;New dance music!

(That song was not actually on the same volume, but the same series!)  Anyway, I WAS FIRST!!  No not really—I have no idea.  But I'd like to think that I was.  &lt;i&gt;*Sigh*&lt;/i&gt;   But alas, "Hayzee" planted his stake on the mountain first.  Granted the only reason I even found out about this remix is because I delved about 2 pages into a google search entitled, "no $ no toke remix."  Also granted, all I did to the track was poorly beatmatch it to a 120BPM Hot Fuk beat, AND a Big Beat beat, then make some weird edits, and leave it at 1:20, but, all things considered, perhaps I pulled it off..??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, here are the tracks…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?i=215292374&amp;id=215291373&amp;s=143441"&gt;No $ No Toke&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's the Hayzee remix via Appletree podcast (from zShare, damn that took a long time), but also, it's the last song.

(Somehow the person that uploaded the video thought the song was "Biel da Voe" by BBD!)  Anyway, the song was released in 1990 under Geffen.  More recently, Mano has released a remix.  Is it just me, or does &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;every&lt;/span&gt; new remixer (other than me) have at least one song featuring that immediately recognizable beat that sounds like a 120BPM version of Funky Drummer often tagged as "B'More edits" and initiated (I think) by Diplo, as exemplified by remixes as Stronger (Diplo WORK IS NEVER OVER), Santogold - Creator(Scottie B remix)????

"I'm in love with the disco sirens!!" over some fake funky bassline and a quivering bass drum.  Now, anyone mildly affiliated with the 2007-08 dance music scene knows that only one act can pull this off and that is Justice.  Then upon further research, sure enough! Produced by Justice.  But &lt;a href="http://www.midfieldgeneral.com/Flashsite229/indexset.htm"&gt;Midfield&lt;/a&gt; is a DJ, right? So if Justice is producing, and who knows who is doing those exceptionally stressed-out vocals, then what is Midfield General doing?

Then, anxious to here what mastery stemmed off such a remix.  I realized shortly after hearing a little bit of the original it that I actually liked the Culture Prophet remix more.  Strange isn't it?  Anyway, here are both versions.. take your pick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.filefreak.com/pfiles/48291/B.BOY%20Underground.mp3"&gt;Digikid.84 - B.Boy Underground&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://boxstr.com/files/1571687_cfddv/B.BOY%20Underground%20%28Culture%20Prophet%20R.mp3"&gt;Digikid.84 - B.Boy Underground (Culture Prophet remix)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On another note, NEW MICKEY FACTZ SONG!!  WITH &lt;a href="http://www.n-e-r-d.com/"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;N*E*R*D*&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;!!!!  Who would've thought?  Actually, judging from his also unexpected "SUPPOSED" (i secretly suspect its bootleg) collabo with Royksopp, people who downloaded his new mixtape would perhaps think, as alluded to in a previous post.

Especially back in January when I assembled &lt;a href="http://hypem.com/zeitgeist/albums?blog=134"&gt;my contribution to the Hype Machine's zeitgeist&lt;/a&gt;.  Pitiful, isn't it?

From there, it rockets its way up to 375 depending on how lavish you want your VIP suite to become, in this case equating to a seat in the first 10 rows, a "pre-show party," a backstage tour, &lt;u&gt;parking&lt;/u&gt; (???), "crowd-free merchindise shopping," and, my personal favorite, a "Kanye West exclusive gift bag"!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's more, Kanye's gotta ham it up by revealing the ultra extravagant props planned for the shows:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I can't take it anymore. I have 2 show you guys a model of the stage. This is not a regular show. I tell people, hey, this show is gonna be crazy and they say, "I bet it is!", BUT THEY HAVE NO IDEA!  People expect me to come with innovative stuff... I'm sure a lot of people expect some neon, lower east side, post everybody dressing like the 80's stuff or maybe the light up jacket from the Grammies, perhaps the robot girl and light spectacle  they saw on Youtube from the European run.  My friends..... NONE OF THE ABOVE!!!  AN ENTIRELY NEW DESIGNED SET!!!

What's more, two scatily-clad women body-painted with gold seem to also have something to do with it, as exemplified by a classically overblown photo featuring the Kanye sandwiched in between the two aforementioned nymphs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.kanyeuniversecity.com/client_images/kanyewest/thumb_3164_7fcdb79131ca04d957c02edcfb72ac2c.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://www.kanyeuniversecity.com/client_images/kanyewest/thumb_3164_7fcdb79131ca04d957c02edcfb72ac2c.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;tic talk&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2687913365887007912-4956890000338169138?l=tictalking.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tictalking.blogspot.com/feeds/4956890000338169138/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2687913365887007912&amp;postID=4956890000338169138' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2687913365887007912/posts/default/4956890000338169138'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2687913365887007912/posts/default/4956890000338169138'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tictalking.blogspot.com/2008/04/new-nerd-remix.html' title='&quot;new&quot; NERD remix'/><author><name>tic talk / linus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03551412357666206562</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_kNm4HZfJpiM/SAQ97_UHO9I/AAAAAAAAACA/4xDBTnzFo2w/S220/italy+mountaintop.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687913365887007912.post-1506477430311970916</id><published>2008-04-03T22:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-04T01:22:15.995-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mickey factz'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='izza kizza'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hipster rap'/><title type='text'>new hipster rap</title><content type='html'>I'm not sure if this term is… derogatory, pretentious, or just ultra-trendy, but it encompasses some really good music (i.e., the Cool Kids, Mickey Factz, Santogold, Izza Kizza).  Anyway, it's a pretty new phenomenon, so who knows.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the subject of &lt;a href="http://myspace.com/IzzaKizzamusic"&gt;Izza Kizza &lt;/a&gt;, is it just me, or is this dude extremely underrated? I searched on Hype Machine and there were only like 4 posts about him.  "I'm the pinch hitter, o-opposite sitter / I'm a lot of things but I'm not a qui-quitter this is baaaddddaaaaasss."  Well, at least that's what it sounds like.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://a787.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/96/l_b30ef55bf864ae28949ed1025bc6e3aa.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://a787.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/96/l_b30ef55bf864ae28949ed1025bc6e3aa.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's a bunch of his songs:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.thesweetfix.com/files/izza_kizza_im_the_izza_kizza.mp3"&gt;I'm the Izza Kizza&lt;/a&gt; (probably one you haven't heard as much—watch me piggy back from "The Sweet Fix")&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="340" width="300"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://media.imeem.com/pl/qAsKF4NnDG/aus=false/pv=2/"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://media.imeem.com/pl/qAsKF4NnDG/aus=false/pv=2/" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" height="340" width="300"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, under hipster rap is  &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/itzmickey"&gt;Mickey Factz&lt;/a&gt;—damn that dude has a lot to say.  I just downloaded "Heaven's Fallout, his huge-ass, extremely, &lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;extremely&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt; DOPE ASS mixtape. "Now, who did I misplease / This is the soundtrack for 2016" over Robot Rock.  Kinda speaks for itself huh? Is misplease even a word? Whats more, according to Panda Toes, apparently &lt;a href="http://www.zshare.net/audio/7617549cb8a4c2/"&gt;another version of this track&lt;/a&gt; features the two and only: Uffie and Feadz!! But its not the one featured in the mixtape that has a bit of Robot Rock in it, which is produced by Machine Drum.  Even worse, throughout the entire song, &lt;a href="http://musicisart.ws/music/sept/uffie.mp3"&gt;Uffie's disarming vocals&lt;/a&gt; are nowhere to be found!!  Also, is it an impending trend to purposefully pronounce "shit" backwards, as in "Talk Your Ish"?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here some more snippets&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.zshare.net/audio/100292489fbb73f7/"&gt;Mickey's adaption of SMACKMOBITCHUP&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, &lt;a href="http://www.zshare.net/audio/10029376fce541e2/"&gt;A POSSIBLY BOOTLEG MASHUP WITH ROYKSOPP&lt;/a&gt;??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Click below to download the whole thing&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.gfcny.com/gfc_hf/MICKEY_FACTZ_HEAVENS_FALLOUT.zip"&gt;&lt;img alt="Heaven's Fallout" src="http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u22/sneakerhova/hf_rs.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;tic talk&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2687913365887007912-1506477430311970916?l=tictalking.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tictalking.blogspot.com/feeds/1506477430311970916/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2687913365887007912&amp;postID=1506477430311970916' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2687913365887007912/posts/default/1506477430311970916'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2687913365887007912/posts/default/1506477430311970916'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tictalking.blogspot.com/2008/04/new-hipster-rap.html' title='new hipster rap'/><author><name>tic talk / linus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03551412357666206562</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_kNm4HZfJpiM/SAQ97_UHO9I/AAAAAAAAACA/4xDBTnzFo2w/S220/italy+mountaintop.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687913365887007912.post-8777559672206696505</id><published>2008-01-01T12:51:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-05-31T15:51:24.530-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Aesop Rock'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Modeselektor'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='edIT'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Blockhead'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sage Francis'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='M.I.A.'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lupe Fiasco'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lifesavas'/><title type='text'>2007</title><content type='html'>&lt;u&gt;Favorite Albums&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;MIA -
