FUNKY FRESH----
as you likely have gathered chali 2na is hands down my fav hip hop artist. today i have had a track in my head all day and now im finally listening to it and im just lovin it. the song is "ghetto diplomat" from the J5 J5 album by chali 2na of course. but yeah the first time i heard it it was catchy and all but not that mind blowing. now as i have had it stuck in my head and have been listening to it lately its simply one of the solid gold tracks that rarely come along. dang the beat is so sick and the lyrics and flow and the way the beat cuts in and out and just smoothly rolls is so sick! anyway give it a few listens and you will love it.
K so because im so behind i need to keep things short as always.
U2. one of my fav bands ever. a track that most dont know is van diemans land i would suggest watching it on the helter skelter dvd that they have on you tube. anyway the how to dimantal an atomic bomb is a great album one of my top 5... maybe. miracle drug awesome song maybe just cuz i used ot listen to it wile i snowboarded.
tom pettys greatest hits. just awesome. he is a suprising consistant artist also if you can catch his barried treasure show its great but i could only find it on my sat radio.
the maytones- brown girl in the ring. that is where J5 got the original from. listen to both.
tanya stephens- great reggae artist chic. pretty good suprised to find that the hole albums typically were good not just specific songs only i cant say it yet cuz i have not listened of all songs. warn dem is a great track.
citizen cope- cool aritst im sure you already know him. call me a fad follower but sons gonna rise is still my fav track.
again i think i already mentioned this slightly stoopid "acoustic live and direct" its and amazing live album you should listen to it maybe it will work its way into my top 5 its awesome. love the guns and roses cover.
rebelution- dont know these guys to well but ordinary girl is a great song its also there most popular.
the roots. great hip hop artists my fav album is game theory but i picked up a few more i have not had much time to listen to but you can get game theory at the OP and 2 other of there albums.
big daddy kane. if you like old school rap this is one of the originals. great stuff really the kind of stuff that got me into hip hop in the first place.
kings of convienince- sorry to do this but havent really listend to them much but pretty cool souunding artist so far check them out
collie buds- i think drew listened to them before he left but they are pretty good. i picked them up cuz i heard a couple of tracks on the kya bamba cds i have (KYA BAMBA A MUST GET-already talked about them) i absolutely love the fusion of reggae and hip hop i think it is so sick hard to find the good end of this though
if you want something just pure gangster listen to "bloods and crips bangin on wax" album. havent listend to it to much cuz im trying to listen to good music but yeah domino is on that album and im having such a hard time getting any of his albums.
lucked out in finding a big "pixar" music package including a bugs life cars monsters inc and toy story and finding nemo and i think thats it. finding nemo soundtrack is solid but the tracks are more specific to the film so they are smaller and not as good independant but still not bad. monsters inc is just a shwanky awesome album i guess its really praised in the music world. kind of dig the jazzy up feeling. but still one of my fav film scores is kung fu panda. its certainly worht getting. cars turned out pretty good. i saw dispicalbe me the other nigh and i need to get that film score it was kind of interesting. good movie.
so as you know i love the song "stop that train" by peter tosh look up the acoustic version on you tube its really amazing.
love kenton
please comment on who you like or dont
and do you like names of artists or specific track titles?
PLEASE COMMENT!!

1 quick song
I have had this song for a long time and just love it never gets old. only song that is not actually from a film that has made it onto my film list.. its a pretty big deal. haha but yeah the song name is "Sipho" it is by hennie bekker i have no idea if you will be able to find this piece but it is truely amazing. I found it on a set of african cd's i have. if you get the chance go to the OP and snag some africa cds- african music is unreal and in my opinion arguable some of the most beautiful music ever (black people were made for music.) any way you cant find this cd/song in the OP but you might on you tube. I got the cd's in a 3 pack from costco with some more other great african stuff when i was like 15.
love kenton

Real Quick
just a quick album and song update (sorry im trying to do my math homework)
Peter tosh is an absolutley awesome artist and to be honest when he works with bob marley i like it better when tosh takes the lead of the song and the vocals. Any who they did an album called "wisdom" (2 discs) pretty sure they realeased it but never know with Bob marley, could have been a compilation. Anyway great album (atleast the first disc- thats all i have gotten to) but they do alot of there already realesed songs but they did them so well on this album. Such as keep on moving, and thankyou lord (this one not my fav version tho) stop that train (aslo not my fav version but still great (fav version on catch a fire)) they alos did tracks im not familiar with such as leave my business alone. This song is great has a good ska sound love how they did the vocals. Also a song that really struck me as sick chill and just awesome was "Dreamland". I had never heard this track by bob marley but it was awesome. I hope you can find this version from the wisdom album on youtube.
well back to homework thanks for teh comment carmen!
I swear if you guys comment more i will actuallly feel like people are listening and i will update more!
mahalo

Must be quick
Goodness im behind.
K not goingt to go into detail (this is probably a good thing) but here are some names and such to look into trust me they are all worth it but i dont have time to say why and other random nosnsenses.
Halo soundtrack. done by martain o donell. yes im a halo nerd, but besides that the soundtrack is great
slightly stoopid. Simply blown away with how consistant and legit they are. Not to mention they are so consistant in a genre that is not that defined which is awesome. they are like sublime on without the suckyness and inconsistancy of sublime.
Mono- this is some more trip hop. listen to "silicone" this song not only made it on my acid jazz playlist but also on the music to make love to (this would take place once the playful foreplay has gone down and its go time.)
311. havent given them to much listening but there dont tread on me album lasted in my cd player in my car for like 2 months.
the maytones. got there boat to zion album and im suprised that an old Ska band like that had such a good sound then and was as consistant with that album as they were.
Neil halstead. I have mentioned him before, but listen to baby i grew you a beard. SICK song absolutely love it took me a few times tho. cant find the chords online but the mighty engine song sounds splended on my uke.
jimmy cliff- great artist. think i have already metnioned him but have been listening to him but got a couple of anthologys.
tarrus riley. think i mentioned him to. but yeah got 2 more albums by him (super hard to find (at least outside of itunes)) listen to loves contagious and shes royal. Ablsolutely awesome. took me a few times thru tho.
taj mahal- goodness i think i have already talked about this sticky note of artists on the blog but the best of album is on its way into my top 5
ottis redding- great stuff. lots of good stuff in the genre from that time period. if you like that stuff listen to tom pettys barried treasure show on the "deep tracks" radio station (via satalite, you might be able to find it elsewhere tho- or atleast the track listings.)
J5 quality control- this album blew my mind. easily my favorite effort that j5 has put forth im sure to mention this a little more later on in the blog. they still had both cut chemist and dj numark on the album which meant the beans were so sick and fresh and the raps were the most artistic and flowing and full of style more than any other album i have ever heard. chali 2na was hands down the best i have seen him in his hole career. sad to know j5 is no longer together.
well class is ending ha later

IM BACK!
Hey oh! huge list I have been comprising but neglecting to post because im a university man and life is difficult at times. any who, here we go.
March of the penguins soundtrack "the egg arrives" awesome song. Really like this one.
oh and btw im just going off of a list of tracks i have made so sorry if i go into no detail about them (cuz i know you all just love it so much when i just ramble...)
Jimi Hendrix. As you all know he is a legend and he is pretty rad. Sadly enough i have never really listened to him to much but i have had the album "experience hendrix" super steller album i think its just a best of. Anyway solid album i would look into it if you dont know him well. Also i just barely got valleys of neptune i havent had time to listen to it yet but im stocked to.
Speaking of Jimi's- Jimi cliff. for those of you who have never listened to jamaican "ska"... shame on you. This is absolutely excellent music. I would suggest developing a pretty solid love for regular more modern reggae before you can really trip back to ska. Ska is basically (not entirely..) old school reggae. Jimi cliff is probably one of my favs from this old genre, however there are still tons of names that are great (paragons, skatalites- skatalites have an album at the OP). If you like modern reggae and you truely appreciate reggae for more than just the pop music coming from this genre i would suggest getting the in my opinion worlds greatest ska compilation titled "trojan ska" you can get it at the OP and you can find a lot on you tube (heads up tho its just someone filming a reccord player). Anyway- i think the main reason i like ska is how well the vocals harmonize and work with the music. This music is fun to listen to and sing a long but sing a line of harmony or the melody of like the trumpets or something and it sound really cool and almost bluesie. Keep in mind this music is infact very chill and good feeling once you learn to appreciate it. These songs would be so sick to cover or remake.
Eric clapton- "the sky is cryin"- mmmm yeah.
Jimi cliff- "miss jamaica" (this is on trojan ska) listen to this song a few times thru (you may not like it) and sing the lyrics as you go about your day and just grasp just the way the lyrics sound even on there own.. and you will realize how tight this song is along with all ska
Bob marley- my bob collection got wiped out but im finally done getting it all back (my ipod froze.) Talking about bob marley pisses me off in reality. Im so sick of kids wearing rasta colors and repping bob marley T's and in reality like most of his listeners the know close to nothing about who he really is but most of all they know so little of his music and his real stuff not his latest more pop stuff. I would love to wear a bob marley t but i cant because i would feel like one of the many posers. I put a bob marley sticker on my uke and it was the songs of freedom cover becasue the songs of freedom compilation is easily in my top 5 albums but i feel like any REAL bob fan who saw that would just assume me to be a poser which would just piss me off. Any way- these are the albums i have by him. they are all amazing even if you dont like ti the first time.

there are a few more but not of all of them i put into my itunes as much as i listen to bob im still not even close to knowing everything. So next time you see some kid wearing a bob shirt and some rasta bracelets, know that more than likely he is nothing more than a poser. Anyway- in my opinion hands down the best album is songs of freedom disc 1. His old music is so much better than his newer stuff in my opinion but anwya give it a listen.
Kya bamba- just sick. Not sure if i have mentioned them yet i cant imagine i havent but anyway they are so sick great fusion of reggae with hip hop and just sick krunk music. great to listen to while snowboarding
Normon Blake- slow train through Georgia- also, spanish fandaingo ( made it to my "mega chill playlist"
Ottis redding- "shout bannorama" "dreams to remember ( john mayer covered it but ottis did a million times better with the orig)" "You left the water running" you left the water running is an awesome song same with the other two. The vocals in you left the watter running is awesome
Peter tosh- "Stop that train"-one of my favorite songs, and "Go tell it on the mountain" great songs. Tosh was one of marleys best friends from a kid and he is one of the wailers. bob marley is still on the stop this train track. there are a few different releases of stop that train but yeah listen to "equal righs" decent song but i love it when he says father of jesus
Slightly stoopid- these guys are just awesome im sure you have heard them before listen to closer to the sun ablum its on of the few albums in this world that is consistantly good all the way through.
Alright thats it for now. that is about 1/3 of the music i still need to post sorry i will try to find more time. enjoy!

So sorry... but i will make up for it... 9-21
Dear listeners (which i have two of thankyou brady and carmen)
sorry i havent posted in forever. i do school from dusk til dawn so lay off.
Any who. I have a ton of music lined up to be posted unfortunently i have not had the time to.
but to make up for it i shall bless you with a piece that is just an absolute all time favorite of mine. Its a piano piece by Scott Joplin (the king of ragtime.. and for good reasons) titled "saint louis blues" you tube this " Scott Joplin - Saint Louis Blues.wmv " its the first one that shows up. I used to listen to this piece everyday in my car inbetween early morning seminary and first period. this one you need to give a listen to like a good 10 times at least if you dont like it. trust me!! its amazing. It bridged me really well into rag time (the OP (orem pulbic library) has a great ragtime selection) If you dont konw much about ragtime its basically the best thing ever i used to listen to it alot scott joplin is basically the king of all ragtime. but anyway check out the library they have a lot. but ragtime is a great bridge to blues as well. this is strait soul music that i hope you realize is soul music. let it out to this song. Once you find yourself just letting it out to this song especially at the climax and the end and you just feel so into it THAT IS YOUR FIRST CLUE THAT YOUR IN LOVE WITH BLUES MUSIC. please dont let this beautiful opertunity pass you by blues is an ubelieveably awesome genre of music that sounds so weird unless you listen to it right but any way i was supposed to only tell you about one song cuz its late and i have homework and i ended up saying more than i would have if i had just posted all of the new music. but anyway if you like this comment and i will give you some blues and ragtime artists that will bridge you further into these genres.
LOVE KENTON
