I'm really getting into Chilled Lofi hip hop music!

It's weird because I wouldn't really say I have been a huge fan of rap or hip hop, but this new sub-genre of electronic music referred to as lofi hip hop has really got me hooked!

I am now super interested in this exciting new genre of dusty and scratchy bedroom produced lofi hip hop chill music.

One such video channel that accurately represents the brand of lo-fi hip hop that I am interested in is Chilled Lofi on Youtube.


Check out this two hour mix of chilled lofi hip hop.

Chilled Lofi is a place that producers of original electronic music can submit their lofi tracks to be featured and promoted for free on Youtube. If the music is good and fits the genre an amazing video with fresh vuisuals will be created and posted on the Chilled Lofi Youtube Channel.

The videos on the channel are varied and unique and the visuals are simply stunning.

Enjoy the lofi music! And be sure to let me know what you think!

2019 is great so far!

Wow. It's already April 3 in 2019. So far it has been a pretty good year. Me - I am getting into a lot of things. One of them is a renewed interest in photography and videography. I have an Osmo Pocket which is pretty amazing. I got it a few months ago and am getting familiar with how it works. In general though amazing 4k footage stabilized by it's gimbal system. Very impressive. Not perfect but damn good. well - that's all for now. Just trying to keep this blog alive!

Cool songs from talented jazz artists

Jazz is pretty cool, right? But the specific term "cool jazz" refers to a subset of jazz music.

Jazz is a musical art form which originated in the New Orleans by the year 1920.

1920's jazz is a period of golden era. The year 1920 is also known as the Jazz era as it was in this period of time people starting getting crazy about music.



Many types of music and entertainment started to originate in this epoch of time. Meanwhile many musicians and larger band forms also started establishing themselves. This period is well noted time in the music history as it was in this period people started recognizing the significance of music and jazz was known to be the famous and most loved instrument.

Cool jazz is referred to the music which is much softer and lighter than the usual bop ones.

It evolved first in the New York City. It gives a special kind of soothing effect to the mind of the listener. Cool jazz was one of the modern and latest jazz trends which were popular in the 1950s. Slower notes were being played without any bebops or hard bops. Softer and calm music was played by these that soothe the listeners mind and soul.

Two important names involved in contributors of cool jazz were Miles Davis who was a trumpeter and Gil Evans who was a pianist, bandleader and composer-arranger.

Many other instruments were included in this type of the newest jazz such as flute, baritone sax, flugelhorn and French horn. It was set up by a group of highly trained academic performers and the leader among them was Miles Davis.

The name cool was given by the group due to the modest or restrained feeling of the music created by Miles Davis. They confirmed that cool jazz did not have roughness or thickness for the tone.

Various cool jazz artists are Miles Davis who was the leader, Bill Evans, Gerry Mulligan, Drave Brubeck, Stan Getz, Chico Hamilton, Vince Guaraldi, Shelly Manne, Lester Young, Modern Jazz Quartet and many more.

Listening to cool jazz makes people relaxed and also acts as a treat to listener's ears.

Cool jazz is a special music which might be like a music therapy which is harmonious and very light that makes the listener smooth and totally relaxed.

People would love to hear more of this kind of music as it is such a wonderful tone which makes us hear again and again.

Time Flies! Partying in Laguna!

Time really does fly! I keep forgetting to write here at What is up with that?

I guess I can do a quick summary of things.

I wnet to a neighbors pary last night.

They have a killer house here in Laguna Beach and it made for throwing parties! I live in a nice place - but their house is designed for the flow of partying activity - which is very cool!

They have a multilevel back yard and you walk down to the back which is under the house down some steps. It has a veranda with stoves and stuff and is perfect to have the caterers serving up food and they had a nice buffer.

They had a "one man band" which is not as good as a real band - but he did play the corqwd pleasers most drunk folks like to hear - so i guess it was ok. I'd prefer some real musicians jamming it up at least a little.

They also had a "couple" teach "Tango lessons". That was weird! What is up with that?

Maybe not my slice of pie - but the drunk partyers seems to like it!

Well - that was my day yesterday! At least now I might remember more of it!

Take care!

It's warm here but not too hot!

Wow - time really flies! I just noticed it has been a long time since I last posted here. I feel bad. I am embarrassed. But I am here now so let's make up for all that lost time...

It's May 2010 and I am living in Laguna Becah, California.

I'm really digging it here. The waether is simply awesome! Almost every day is right around 70 degrees. Of course we get some hot days in the upper 80's now and again, but for the most part we are right around 70.

Some people may look at 70 and say "that's too cold", but hey - it almost NEVER feels cold here. That's right - even in the winter when everyone else really is COLD _ I mean REALLY FEELING COLD - we're still right around 70 more than likely.

Sure - every once in a while the nights will drop a few degrees - but since we are on the Pacific Ocean - it never gets REALLY COLD.

So - as far as climate - I thk this is the best place on earth!

I know - some people think the best climate is a HOT and SWEATY one, but I will say that after having lived in the San Fernando Valley - in Sherman Oaks to be exact - it was so hot so often it was NOT COMFORTABLE! It was uncomfortable most of the time. And sure - it did get HOT there a lot - but it also got VERY COLD there a lot. It was inland so both HIGHS and LOWS were more extreme.

I'm not saying it was BAD. I'm not - really. While I lived therre (almost 10 years) I did no t know any better. I accepted the many 90 and 100 degree days and the cold winter nights as being normal. But man - when I discoverd what it is like to lkive on the Southern California coast - my eyes opened to what comfortable really is all about!

Well - enough about the climate. I do dig it here a lot! It's a great place to live here in Laguna Beach. Some say it magical. I agree!
