One of the things I missed most while living in Sunny San Diego was the rain: It just don’t happen there. And on those rare occasions that it did, the locals would freak out as if The End Times had arrived. {{1}} [[1]]WTF people, even the Beach Boys liked rain! [[1]]

Not only is rain refreshing, it plain sounds cool. And while much has been written on the pitter-patter of rain on the rooftop, my favorite rainsong is invariably tied to my highschool experience:

The rhythm of the wipers going back & forth.
The hum of an engine taking me far away from class & school.
The contemplative silence of some friends.
—And of course—
Some down tempo songs on the stereo.

Nor★Cal for life.

I Got Five On It: DownTempo

Yuko Kondo's rendition of last weekend

This past weekend the Clique & Friends™ trekked over to the Northern Cali’s esteemed Redwoods to get some of that quality time with Mother Nature. And cot damn did I get reacquainted with all she has to offer. Along with the greenest of greens, the serene peace of the woods, coupled with chillaxin by the river mellowed me the fuck out.

Even though I’m a little tired from the excursion, mentally, I’m refreshed and tearin’ up this week’s grind. So with this batch, I’ve hand picked some of my more low-key, down tempo tracks. The tracks kinda picked themselves, in that the overall mood of the 5 tunes match that of our weekend getaway. These things happen. {{1}} [[1]]Confirmation Bias? Fuck that, it’s Serendipity.[[1]]

I gotta say it though. If there was anything wrong about this weekend it’s one thing:


Not enough chips.



Digable Planets – Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat)
Bone Thugs-N-Harmony – Weed Song
Lumininius – I Believe In You
Camp Lo – Sparkle
Outkast – Spottieottie Til Infinity (Locsmif Mix)

If you know anything bout 'Kast, then you know that you do NOT click this at work.

Big Boi (Ft. Andre 3000 & Sleepy Brown) – Lookin For Ya

Damn shame it won’t be on the album. But I guess it ain’t official ‘Kast. Must be for the best though… right?
