50. Madlib Invasion, part 1

hard to believe it's been this long and no Madlib has come up yet. not even during LA week. but fear not, there's plenty to go around and for the next week, nothing but the Beat Konducta for you. first is a favorite from the Yesterday's New Quintet family tree, Early Dawn by percussionist Malik Flavors (aka: Madlib).



i love when the drums finally lock in and the song enters. the restlessness becomes a cascading rhythm, and various synths play loosely around a simple structure. it's a sublime chaos, and i often have a difficult time following it when i put it on a mixtape because it stands out so much. but this is Madlib week, so it shouldn't be too tough to find a successor.

so glad you didn't have to deal with your least favorite patient today. it's like the weekend starts early (but you still have to work)! do you know what your Saturday Adventure is going to be yet? may i suggest something involving animals, a zoo perhaps? maybe find a couple beagles, put on a lab coat, punch 'em in the face? the world is your oyster, and you're its pearl.

LRV, b
