Me Digging

So I know I'm a hoarder of music and various things(used to be video games), but note this, it's nothing overly physical that fills up the rooms of my house. Instead it's digitally related. Yes I am a hoarder in internet downloads. My brother has the courtesy to call me the Cut Chemist/DJ Shadow of the internet. (I liked that one alot) sounds like I am...



Jurassic 5 my favorite hip hop crew of all time, I was introduced to their "What's Golden" track from ATV Offroad Fury 2 back in my PS2 days. The crew contained 6 members, which 2 of them are DJs (one being DJ Nu-Mark, the other Cut Chemist) This crew inspired me to become a more appreciating listener to later hip hop tracks that came into mind. Here's an example:



Going back to digging, from my previous trip to Atlanta, Georgia I came back with $130 worth of music, of course I haven't had a chance to listen to all of it (I will in time). Most of those CDs/Vinyls are actually instinctively selected with little or no background information. However CDs/Vinyls such as Zero 7, The OJays, Little Richard are well known names. However I must stress the feeling of buying/paying for something which can be so easily obtained by free downloading certainly has a different feel to it. I guess what they say about the harder the work the sweeter the fruit is true.



From my point of view, digging can be researching before obtaining (so you don't waste your time or energy), or go for something completely new. This applies to music searching and to life, because we are never sure what's gonna happen next. But that's another story.
So here's a random song I want to throw for the readers. Enjoy
