Interlude: Thanks for Giving!

Yep, that’s a hand turkey.

When you find your eyelids becoming heavy at eleven due to manual labour and not strenuous turkey and beer consumption, bitterness ensues. While I spent my weekend relocating all my worldly possessions, most of you were hopefully indulging in the most extravagant of all North American holiday-related meals. However, just because I was not a participant in Turkey Day festivities, it does not mean I am not thankful. Life is good and free music is abundant! In the tradition of giving I have prepared a small selection for my fellow beat and rhyme lovers. If you like the songs, search them out and support the artist or the project, enjoy!

“All mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated. . .” – Donne

I once told someone close to me that I didn’t think the word “uninspired” should always take on such a negative context. After all, where arts and culture reside at this point in history, if something is made without inspiration isn’t it truly original? She looked at me like it was the most profound thing I had ever said in my life. I thought it was just a stupid linguistic loophole. Thanks to Kirby Ferguson for what looks like a lot of effort and research, and I look forward to upcoming episodes in this miniseries (part two is available on Vimeo, and takes an interesting look at Star Wars).
