plans(ish):

okay, so i don't really have anything interesting to post today. but i feel like i've been on a bit of a roll, so maybe posting something mostly useless will keep me in the habit of posting things.

i've had a broad plan to do a series of mixtape ep's called jack beats nimble. basically i would steal beats and rap over them (just like most mixtapes). half as just mixtape-style, not very serious songs (like lyrical exercises that aren't necessarily fully formed songs) and then more straight forward songs. on some songs i would reprogram/remix the tracks a little. some i might even make whole new beats using samples from the original instrumental (hopefully helping me learn how to make my own stuff from scratch so i can do real songs). i've been talking about it for a while but haven't done much aside from finding an instrumental here and there and setting them aside.

anyways, the thought was to do a whole series of them with different themes for different ones. like, one would be all doomtree related instrumentals, one would be all top 40 stuff, one would be all rhymesayers, one would be all def jux, one would be indie rock stuff (which i might scrap because every rapper does mixtape songs over indie rock stuff cause it's the easy way to get your hipster/blog love), one would be ridiculous, unexpected stuff (like erasure or depeche mode and rush and three inches of blood, etc.).

the one i probably want to do first would be jack beats nimble: locavore. it would be all songs based off local bands stuff. so, (now that what was supposed to be my short post before going to bed is a rambling thing, here, finally, is the point) here's an early list of tracks i would probably do (with no accompanying explanations).

oh, i guess not
porpoise speed
maury mon and the moonlight gospel
vibranter sound
velour girls/scenester (jmb/apt takeover)
gridlocked
tate's 7th


so, um, hopefully some day i will get to these. i especially look forward to oh, i guess not cause it will involve chopping scott's vocals and making a sweet beat out of them. that'll probably be the first one i do. after i finish the animal remix. and the design work for cory mon. and going to sleep right now (i love parenthetical statements and stalling going to sleep).
