I was obsessed with the Dave Matthews Band when I was in high school. I would go to the 3 shows in Boston, the 2 in Hartford and the one in Providence, RI. While I would never put on a DMB playlist now, and am pretty glad I didn’t get that #41 tattoo, I feel indebted to that band because I feel like they taught me to love music.

Somehow, I don’t remember specifically how, I discovered The Roots. I was blown away by non-radio hip-hop. From there it lead me down a path of Jurassic 5, to Eyedea, to Atmosphere, to RJD2, the whole Rhymesayers, Def Jux, Stones Throw scene.

Dilla.

In college I think I single handled kept Turntable Lab in business (the amount of $5-$7 illegally sold/burned dj mixes I own is hefty). I would drag my friends to Cut Chemist at the Middle East Downstairs (ie basement) or Diplo at Great Scott (a sh*tty dive bar that has a 240 cap).

Then the internet took off, AOL Spinner will go down as the most underrated blogs in history, in my opinion. My taste became whatever I thought was good / festival culture (although I can feel that dwindling for me personally, as phases do).

Now I’ll randomly get super into music from the past, and deep dive into Dolly Parton, or Nina Simone, or The Residents…who’s knows what’s next?

MAGNETS LYRICS

for those who have been asking..

-

V1

never really felt bad about it

as we drank deep from the lie

cause i felt melting magnets, babe

the second i saw you through half-shut eyes

PRE

smoke and sunset

off mulholland

he was talking

i was wondering ‘bout you

and that girl

is she your girlfriend?

face from heaven

bet the world she don’t know

pretty girls don’t know the things that i know

walk my way, i’ll share the things that she won’t

CHORUS

uh-oh, dancing past the point of no return

let go, we can free ourselves of all we’ve learnt

i love this secret language that we’re speaking

say it to me, let’s embrace the point of no return

let’s embrace the point of no return

let’s embrace the point of no return

V2

never really thought we would make it

we’d be thinking 'bout what could have been

but we’ve had a record summer, can’t turn it down

now i don’t wanna see the end begin

PRE / CHORUS/ OUTRO
