Remember last week when I was all smiling about the nice summer we’re having? Well, then this happened…
fuck yeah, hail! (and lightning, too. Lots and lots of lightning)

which led to this…
My car is like a grandmaster flash song: broken glass, everywhere...

Also: looks like a junkie from the alley took a baseball bat to it.

I could be really pissed but getting mad at acts of nature is pretty futile in the grand scheme of things. Still, it gave me a good excuse to play a classic Grandmaster Flash on my show. The Message is probably one of the main reasons I started listening to hip hop [period]. From the moment I heard that song (I might have been 5 or 6 at the time) i was like ‘WHAT is this and WHERE can I hear more?’ I had a little two-knob AM radio and listened all day and all night trying to hear more stuff along those lines. Sadly, AM radio in Ottawa at the time didn’t play a lot of hip hip so I’d have to wait a few more years to get a steady stream of hip hop. Incidentally, the mix from Crime Cut into The Message on this show is just about what I consider to be a perfect mix for these two tracks. My criteria for a perfect mix vary from track to track, and probably the time of day. It doesn’t happen very often and as a DJ, it’s the holy grail. I can’t even put the words together to explain to you why I think it’s so perfect, all I know is that it lasts all of about 600 milliseconds and it just makes me go ‘awww, yeaah.’
Anyways, let’s get to the show, yes?
