Songs of the week

This week I have more of a reminiscent style lineup for my songs of the week. These are songs that brought back memories for me, good ones at that.

Pete Rock ft. Vinia Mojica - "Mind Blowin"
This is hip hop at it's finest. I first picked up this album in 1998, but my fondest memory of this song is back around 2002 when me and my boy Kyle used to make a beach trip every Friday afternoon. He also made me pick out the music for the trip, and this song was one of the songs we always had on repeat. The saxaphone in hook is so addicting you'll keep rewinding for days. Listening to this song on a summer day in California was heaven! Super relaxing.

Stone Temple Pilots - "And So I Know"
I just remember it was summer 1999, 4th of July weekend, at my boy Casey's house. We were bbqing and he threw this song on. When I told him the song was dope and asked who it was, he was hestitant to say, feeling embarrased that it was the Stone Temple Pilots. Haha. You can't front on this song though. Also super relaxing. The guitar solo is wonderful.

Lootpack - "Whenimondamic"
"Check one-two, Check one-two-three!" You can't help but nod your head to this song. My boy Eric aka Panda Puff put me onto Lootpack when we were sophomores in college. He's the one that also got me sparked in djing. (For those of you who play Tony Hawk pro skateboarding, you may recognize this song from there.)

Moby ft. Patti Labelle - "One of These Mornings"
This is one of me and Myron's faves. I was never much of a big Moby fan like LaCalavera was back in '98, but this song has always been pretty cool to me. Pretty chill. After watching the Miami Vice movie and this song being in it, made me like it even more.

Jack Johnson - "Belle"
This is my favorite song from his "In Between Dreams" album. I love the French & bossanova vibe in this song. The story in this song is cool. It's like he's in Europe and sees a girl he likes but doesn't know what language to speak to her in. This song is so short, it leaves you wanting more. I like that. But this song rules, don't anyone tell you different. I'll have to learn this song to sing to my wife someday... I'm already getting lessons from this girl..
