BLIND I SAYS GO! OCTOBER 2009

I saw the artwork of Alex Andreyev and I thought it fit perfectly! As the Fall begins and we look towards the next few months of brisk temperatures and brown leaves on the ground, we can rock in unison with this month’s Blind I Says Go!, encompassing all of the vibes that I believe go hand-in-hand with the Autumn months – hard work, coming of age, fun, love, elevated mindstates, balance, impulse – all entwined through music! Your tour guides through these matters are names like Mos Def, Ghostface Killah, Big Boi, Bullion, Hudson Mohawke, The Clipse, Curren$y, Donell Jones, John Mayer, KJ, Pharrell, Madonna, Melanie Fiona, N.E.R.D., Mayer Hawthorne, Now On, The Flaming Lips, other newcomers, and even yours truly! This one’s sure to be an enjoyable experience….so without further ado…..GO!

BRAINSTORM REMIXES VOL. 1

What’s up Blind I faithful? I wanted to drop a special project on you guys that I’ve been working on for the past couple of days for your enjoyment. I looked up one day at my iTunes and realized that alot of my favorite joints were remixes I’d compiled in my years of digging, so logically I decided to make up a dope mix of some of the iller tracks. Little did I know how many dope remixes there were, so I’ve decided to make this a Volume 1 of however many more to come. This one is pretty eclectic, but all of the tracks go pretty hard. I tried to eliminate any of the typical remixes that I feel everyone probably already has, and focus on the more obscure, banging ass joints that you know we at Blind I like to bring. So without further ado, partake of the greatness and then check the track listing after the jump!
