No brains, no headaches....

Lately I've been so mentally drained… In the past couple months, I've been across 12 states, left my hometown of 28 years, left my job of 4 years, and decided to brave the wild in the wildest of the west to try to live a better life…. It's a huge opportunity for me, but it still feels strange.  I've been having this huge mental block lately, where I don't know what to say or do, and I can't seem to figure out why. Change? stress? who knows. It's eating me up, though. I just decided that the best way to work through it was to pick fun sounds out and arrange them together in a way that's gotta be so silly that there's no way you can keep a straight face grooving to them. It was some night in some other state, playing to a huge room full of nobody, that I realized that this whole profession can be so tiring if you're not playing to have fun and making yourself smile before trying to be the cool guy.  I'm sick of people taking music so seriously, why the fuck do I wanna be locked up in a room full of dudes scratching their chins waiting to be impressed? I definitely don't. So in the name of good fun, I fired up the old recorder and whipped through some of my favorite funky tunes to groove to, and slapped out this mix. 1 take, a couple fuckups, but the message is clear: I don't give a fuuuuuck.  I'm just out here trying to get my swerve on and have a good motherfuckin' time.  Shut your mind off and tap your foot. No brains, no headaches! So here it is. Wild west intergalactic Turf Swing. I hope space aliens listen to this shit in the hills while they mine for mercury to power their intergalactic low riders, with the license plates rattling like diamondbacks. Most of all, though, I just hope to put a smile on some faces while I try to break this funk. Big ups to outer space, big ups to the desert, and big ups to oakland, for all the inspiration. Much love to you all. cheers. :)
