LAS PALMAS

2011-05-24T22:44:00.001-07:00

Hey. How are you? It's been a long while since ive posted something new. You've prolly figured out that i'm done with the blog. I figured it would be in good taste for me to post a formal good- bye. Initially i wasnt sure if i was really done or if i was just taking a break. I'm certain that i've lost interest in LP. I made this blog out of boredom, just for kicks. I never really intended for it to be this nearly two year excursion.

Music is emotion, it's personality. It's an extension of our feelings, our thoughts, our actions. I think i made this blog to kinda-sorta introduce myself to you and all the other folks that have been here. Many of the songs on LP make me happy and inspire me. I shared them cause i figured they might do the same for you.

I got a lot out of Las Palmas. When i think back on it it makes me feel good. I would geek out when i found a song that i couldnt wait to share. Kinda lame but 'eh.

Thanks for everything. I mean it. I'd check the views on the blog and it was awesome to see that LP had 'regulars' all around the world. Big ups for all the support. I really appreciate it. I dont think you'll realize that you allowed me be a part of something worthwhile. So again, thanks.

This is what i'm listening to right now. I've been listening to it since the start of this post. I wasnt planning on posting any music but here it is, the last song.

Take care of yourselves. Have fun. Share music. Smile.

There were a few thoughts i wanted to share with you but i cant remember what they were. I'll tell you about last Saturday. My good friend, Luis got married in Downtown Los. It was a very nice and intimate ceremony. Many of my friends were there and it was wonderful to be apart of such a joyous occasion. Afterward Lamija and i went to eat in Boyle Heights at small Mexican joint called Guisados. It's located on the corner of Cesar Chavez Blvd and St. Louis. You wont recognize anything on their menu unless you're Hispanic. They dont serve the stereotypical food that you find at Taco Bell and Del Taco. It's very unique, authentic Mexican cuisine. If you're ever there make sure you get a cup of the home made Horchata. I swear it has crack in it. Later that night we went to the wedding reception/party. It was super fun. Lots and lots of dancing. A bunch of my friends from high school were there and it's great that 4 years after we graduated there's still no love lost. Super congratulations to Luis And Stefany!!

If you're a regular of LP than you know how i'm a huge fan of BLU. If youve ever listened to any of his tracks than youll know how great of a rapper/producer BLU is. Lately i've been binging on his music. His music isnt the easiest to find so i've put together a compilation of tracks for your listening pleasure. Enjoy.

I've found a lot of great music this week so i'll try do more posts in the next couple of days. i'm thinking of changing the design of the blog again or switching to tumblr. It seems like you can do more on tumblr in terms of design and customization.
Make sure you listen to the mix in TLB.
I hope all of you are well. Have a great weekend.

Pool Party

2011-04-20T23:02:00.000-07:00

This post shouldve been done back in November. Justin, i'm sorry for the lag. Pool Party is a great punk band. A very refreshing break from all the indie and folk rock that's going around now-a-days.

Lately, the hardest part of each post has been finding the right image. I love art and photography so posting the right image is almost as important as posting good music. If you know of any photographers or artists that i should check out leave a comment.
This post is long overdue. i just haven't been in the mood to blog of late. I haven't been listening to much music lately so that might be why.
My spring break is this week. So far it's been good. On Monday night i got to see Hanni El Khatib and Rumspringa for free at the Bootleg. Both sets were awesome. A song and a half into Hanni's set i realized that Rock n' Roll is not dead, it's alive and well. I recorded some of their sets. I'll upload the footage onto the youtube soon. I went to the L.A. Art Walk tonight. As always there was an abundance of gorgeous women in Downtown. Lots of black spandex and heals. Being a guy, there can never be enough women in black spandex and heals. Oh yeah, the exhibits were good too.
If you've never been, the Art Walk takes place on the third Thursday of every month in Downtown Los. The galleries are free. It covers a couple of blocks but Spring St. is where most of the action takes place.
A heads up: The Flyball is this Saturday. There's an old flyer posted in the middle of this page on the right side with the location and contact info. Sunday night is the opening of MOCA's street art exhibit. It's supposed to be a really big event with lots of famous artists involved from around the world. i will definitely be there.
I hope you all are. Have a good weekend.

Today was a great day. The weather was near perfect. With the exception of the wind, it felt like a early June day. Figured i'd take the day off from work and just bike through Los. i ate a bunch of good food (Cantor's Deli on Fairfax & Machos Taco's on Vermont). I swear the only thing better than living in L.A. is actually being from here. I'm very grateful to God for this opportunity and blessing. It's funny though, a few hours back i was sitting on my friend's toilet (thank you Yamaj for letting me crash, again) and i realized that soon enough something'll happen that'll take me off this cloud i'm on and put my feet back down on the ground. I'm fine with that. I figure that in itself is Life. You hold on to the bueno for as long as you can and brace your self for when the sour stuff comes. And then you repeat.

I wanna give a special shout out to my buddy Josemar. Happy Birthday!!! Josemar's an old friend and has been a supporter of LP from the get go. He's a big music head. Today's electonic section is dedicated to him. I've tried my best to post tracks that he'd like.

Also, i'd like to announce that Las Palmas will, in a little while, become a website. I'll give you more details later.

Once again, you're gonna have to copy n' paste the links into the url bar.

Happy Tuesday!!

I dont understand why sometimes, what we want so much, we're so scared to work towards. I once read a quote about inertia. I cant remember it exactly but it had something to do with overcoming inertia: getting started, taking the first steps. It's definitely the hardest part. Dunno why though. I cant tell if it's cause of the fear of failure. I dont think it is. I hate going through the learning process but i dont think that's it either. Laziness? Definitely but there's more to it. I think i have commitment issues. I'm not sure what i want to do with my life so i end up doing nothing. It's like not getting with a girl cause your worried that the next girl you meet will be better looking. The downer is most of the time that next girl doesnt show and by then the last girl's already gone.

Last week Bhaj told me that my blog has turned into "just a bunch of videos" and that i need to start writing again. The reason i stopped writing was cause i wanted this blog to be about the music rather then me or my opinions. Also, i'm not that comfortable talking about myself or projecting my views on others and i felt that i was doing that whenever i wrote. But Bhaj is right, the blog has become very bland and lacks personality. So im gonna start writing again. I'll try and make it an interesting read, at the very least entertaining. Hopefully, this'll give you more to look forward to. Las Palmas will always be a music first blog, everything else is just more candy in the pinata.

I dunno why the comp i'm using doesnt post the proper web link. Again, copy and paste it into the bar. I'll fix it the first chance i get.

It's been a really long time since ive been able to do a post alone or at night. There's something about the night that's so refreshing. My thoughts come out from behind the walls and crawl out from underneath floors of my mind. I've been nocturnal since i was young. Staying up allows me to make some sense of my day. It's easier for me to organize my thoughts and emotions. Kind of like windshield wipers on a rainy day. You swipe everything to the side and just look straight ahead. It's a very lively feeling.

So i was pondering, something that i do every now again, and i came to two realizations. The first was that, in my experiences, a couple of references towards God and people will deem you "religious" and may slightly outcast you yet if you watch TMZ every night and read gossip magazines to keep tabs on celebrities, most people find nothing wrong with that. The second was that many caucasian folks tan or want to get darker yet there's a stigma towards brown and black people within our society. What's interesting is that with in brown and black society, people with a lighter complexion are considered more attractive.

i have no intention of offending anyone or to make any generalizations. I'm just sharing some thoughts. I hope you all are well. Enjoy the rest of your week.

I'm kinda tired so i cant formulate complete thoughts right now. I still havent been able to find something new and worthwhile for TLB and i dont want to but up a bullshit mix so a little more patience will be necessary. Incase you dont know, i run http://djyoshe.com/ so be sure to check it out cause there's a lot of great content, especially videos, on there. That's why i havent done any new video post lately. Anything i would've posted here is there. Lastly, on a much more serious note, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, help the flood victims in Pakistan. I cant begin to tell you how devastated the country is and how desperately people there need help. Go to PAKISTAN NOW's facebook page to find out about the current situation and how you can help.

Outlandish have released a track for those effected by the floods.

Featured Photography: Kenny Suleimanagich

2010-09-07T18:19:00.000-07:00

It's been too long since the last photography post. Ive had a hard time finding photographer's who actually send you their work when they say they will. In case you forgot or are new to this, i like to feature amateur photographers on the blog. Luckily, last week i stumbled upon the work of a former schoolmate, Kenny Suleimanagich. Kenny's also a West L.A. local currently studying up north in San Fran. He's extremely talented with the camera, and each of his photo's tell a different story or capture the mood and feel of a particular time and place.

Ever Ready Records - Onslot - The Ferox

2010-09-04T23:15:00.000-07:00

Ever Ready Records artist, ONSLOT dropped THE FEROX last month. Simply said, it is a MUST listen. The production is amazing, all 6 tracks will have you bobbing your head. What makes THE FEROX a must is it's lyrical content. Onslot's creativity with words and his unique perspective on the life and the world we live in, make for great poetry.

In case you missed it here's a repost of his first single, Now I Understand.

Check out the latest single, Hoping and Wishing as well as the rest of the album at http://onslot.bandcamp.com/. You can download the entire album at http://usershare.net/m7pbt7z4qeuv.

Shout out to everyone at Ever Ready. For more on ERR visit http://www.everreadyrecords.com/.

El Verano de 2010

2010-09-02T00:59:00.002-07:00

This is unfortunate and obvious, but Summer is over. You could say that summer never came and that's not just cause of the semi frosty weather. A lot of folks i know have expressed that their Summer didnt go as they hoped. Dunno why, maybe it was something in the water. Or the economy. I figure it's easier to blame everything on the economy. After talking to my KidSister, i figure doing a post on my summer might be a koolio way to end things.

Not that you care, but i figure if you've read this far you might. At least, that's what i figure. Ill let you know now that if you're expecting to read about a prolific, epic, muy mucho mas grande-bueno extravaganza, this isnt it. My summer was a far cry from that, though there very some really good days, but i can only remember one of them right now. That's the good part of not remembering exactly, and everything that happened in the recent past. You forget about how bored you were and how much you didnt do. But maybe if it wasnt so dull youd remember more. Shit, i dont know.

The first 2 month's of summer were beyond uneventful. I literally slept anytime between 6-9 am, woke up in the late afternoon and played soccer in the evening. I'd stay up all night doing nothing. Lemme tell you it's amazing how much you can, not do at night. I'm pretty sure i can do less at night, sitting at home, then anyone i know. I'm that talented. Occasionally, i went to work for 8 to 10 hours a week. Try working that much. Seriously, try. You wont have money for diddley squat. I did get my favorite board back (thanks Bakir) and in July i started surfing again so that's been a super plus. I also started working on http://djyoshe.com/. It's going really well so be sure to check it out.

Dunno if you read it, but in the middle of July i came down with a cold. It was a bit of a doozey, especially cause my usual remedy of green tea/oj/3 sweaters and 2 pj's/blanket wrap didnt really work. A couple of people i know caught a cold this summer. Maybe this is cause of the climate issues we're having right now? Btw, make sure you recycle, mama nature really needs our help.

Thankfully, I picked up a second job in the last week of July. It saved my summer. I went from barely working 10 hours to working around 30 a week. I went from having nothing to do to having no time to do anything. I made enough money last month to catch up on half my bills. I'm super happy about this. I feel accomplished. Man-half-way-to-the-moon accomplished.

School's started and im still working both jobs. I really figure i have a lot to look forward to this fall. Didnt do much this summer but i think i learned a whole lot. It's kinda too early to know for sure. Lesson's learned but forgotten down the road dont count, so the verdicts still out. I'm tryna analyze what these past three months taught me but im drawing a blank. Simply, progression and efficiency feel good, even in baby steps. It's not that exciting. More that after too long i'm relieved. Lately i throw up a lot more thumbs up and whisper "bueno bueno" to myself every now and again.

A super shout out to my Mom, Pop, sister, Yamaj, DK, Deuse, Tal, Will, Bakir, Lamija, Stan, Jesse, Shariff, the Appleby's, Siraze and all the boy's from the Masjid. If i forgot to mention anyone dont get all butt hurt. Happy September.

If i ate less i'd have more money.

2010-08-30T21:07:00.000-07:00

I still owe you guys a surprise. Eventually, it'll be on the blog so keep and eye out for it. Summer's done. I hope it was memorable. Mine wasnt anything extraordinary but i cant complain, it was pretty good.

A quick birthday shout out to Omair.

I'm pressed for time so this is it for now. Till next time, have a good week.

I just learned that cleaning your computer screen with Windex is very likely to mess it up. Use a damp paper towel instead. Happy Sunday.

Yo. Had a really/kinda pretty bueno bueno weekend. Easily one of the better weekends this summer. Came up on a whole bunch of stuff that i've been really wanting/needing for years now. The best part of this was that i got it all for free. On Saturday i went on a super epic bike ride from Culver City to Melrose with !Shareef! bhaya. If you havent been on a super-epic bike ride yet, you should really, really, get on it. The sun mixed with the onshore winds make it proper good biking weather. And then yesterday i ended the weekend with some Diddy Reese. Oh my Wowawoowah.

It feels really, really awesome and up lifting when life gives you exactly what you want. It brings about this calm and a sense of perfection. As if you know for sure that you're right where you need to be at that moment i time. Like when you're cold and you drink some hot chocolate and then your taste buds clap while the interior of your stomach gets warm and you feel exactly the way you wanted/needed to.

Gotta give credit where it's due so shout out to Zahra Khala, Uncle Mark, Siraze, DK, Abuela, Yamaj, Bhaji, Shorty, Rezzy, Asaad, Shareef Bhaya, Will, Omair, Zaki, Biggs, Rayan-a and most of all the Man upstairs. A mas grande 'i miss you' to my parents, sister, Bakir and Lamija.

My bad for not posting the links on Scott Bourne yet. Scott has some really interesting perspectives on modern society and life. While i find his opinions intriguing and 'outside the box', they in no way represent my own personal beliefs.

Tonight i came up on an amazing DJ that goes by Emancipator. I havent done an 'artist feature' in awhile but this guy deserves special recognition. He mixes hip hop, jazz, ambient and classical music to create music that i have no idea how to describe. If "serenity" took shape as sound it would sound like Emancipator.
