TOP TIZZLE
If you ain't knowin, I send out an email newsletter every week or two, called Tha UPdate. I been sending it out to my peoples for tha past 8 or 9 years -- initially, it was a mixture of music events and social activist/protest actions, as I was equally involved in both (actually, more so in activism -- my start as a full-time DJ came through being asked to spin at rallies, fundraisers, protests, etc).
Although I'm a sellout and not as active in tha social justice realm anymore (at least not in direct organizing work), I continue to send out Tha UPdate, which has grown to nearly 10,000 recipients and has provided a platform for me to talk sh*t, promote events, harange haters, and (my favorite of all its uses) shed light on music that sometimes falls under tha radar. As a DJ and a lover of music, it feels really good to spread music, information about musit, and opinions about music. Each edition of Tha UPdate (or, ALMOST each edition) includes a TOP TIZZLE, an often imitated yet never quite duplicated top ten list of music that I'm feeling at that particular moment.
Anyways, there's so much going on this week I didn't have time to put together a TOP TIZZLE so I thought I'd put one up here (rather than annoy people with another email blast =). Enjoy -- and if you wanna get on Tha UPdate email list, shoot me an email at yodel@djsake1.com
Have a great Thanks Taking week....give thanks for what you got, don't sweat what you ain't got (trust me -- you probably don't need it anyway), and remember tha legacy of colonialism and genocide that is hidden beneath tha story of pilgrims and pumpkin pies.
