I was quiet last weekend because I spent basically the whole week listening to podcasts. I thought about posting Jay-Z’s new big one, or digging into the archives and sharing some classics but I didn’t find the time. On a personal note, my whole life is ridiculous! Definitely do check out the new Jay-Z though, if you haven’t already. Jay-Z – Death of Autotune (with awesome clarinet-infused beat production by No I.D.)

This time last year, I was driving all over the place looking for someone to pay me to write code for them. I want to share a record I was playing in my car at the time. It’s called Polaris, by a group called EXXASENS. They’re either from Spain, or some crazy islands off the coast of Australia – I have no idea. The album is sort of instrumental/progressive/post-metal-ish blend, and a few tracks have some vocals in Spanish. It’s free to download and I think you’ll like it, so download EXXASENS – Polaris tonight. This is life-in-transition music! This is sun-hanging-low-in-the-sky, revealing-itself-from-behind-the-trees-in-time-with-the-crescendo music!

I picked up the new album by Maniac this week, so expect some wobbly, wobby, wobbly wobbly wobbly bass next week.
