“I’m Not Your Lemonade + Heroes ‘N‘ Villains Remix ft. Gucci Mane”
Major Lazer (Diplo & Switch) put this mixtape together for La Roux while working on new material in Jamaica. It features a bunch of JA-inspired blends, special remixes, dubplates and they’re giving it away for free on Diplo’s label, Mad Decent.

My love affair with La Roux began in Copenhagen last August.
I LOVE HER.
This track gets pretty raw at the end, but then again, so do I sometimes. ;)
Banksy, the anonymous British street artist whose distinctive style of mischievous political graffiti adorns walls around the world from London to Palestine to Australia, doesn’t “do” interviews.
The world’s most anonymous public figure has famously remained silent but for the statements he…

Chaos and missed opportunities abound.
The price of a profit, at the steep expense of the sea.

Coherent Rambling - I think it’s just a matter of adjusting and accepting that you’re in a different place from home….all part of the experience if you are expecting this. :)
There is some sort of unspoken law of averages that I am always next to the baby screaming bloody fucking murder on a 13 hour flight. By the 8th hour, he had finally decided he wasn’t getting whatever it was that he wanted or maybe he was just damn too exhausted from screaming that long and finally fell asleep. Thank the (non-screaming) baby jesus (!!!).
I swear. I look at that and think - I’m going to just hand over my ovaries now because I want no part in that shit.
Sitting in the Tokyo airport.
At least it’s quiet now, except that I still feel like I’m moving - which is typical for me on long flights. That part won’t go away till I take three advil PM and knock myself out once I’m finally at the hotel.

Ratatat, “Mandy”
A dear friend who is moving to Seattle this weekend tucked a little piece of her heart into my lunchbox this week and I just found it. Someone had given it to her so long ago and told her to pass it along when the time was right.
It’s a little card written on a typewriter:
“wings.
with purpose they come

in an hour when
FliGHt is

the most.”

I’m so excited to hear about her adventures. So happy she’s following her heart. I’m sad because I won’t see her as often as I’d like. And inspired.
All at the exact. same. time.
