Something In The Meantime

Well my new compubox has arrived but fate has seen to it to leave me injured and not in the shape to get things to where they should be and thus I shall leave you with a taste of one of my favorite records of the last year. Enjoy, if you can.

He's Still The Best Mayne

If you've been coming here for a while, you would know that I pretty much can't not post any new Eli material. This is no exception.

And So It Begins (Mixtapes)

I made a promise to get my best of 2010 record list(s) up earlier this year. My hands are kind of tied at the moment as I'm sans computer and thus can't analyze the records of last year. What I do know for sure is that these two mixtapes were the best that dropped last year. There is only gonna be a #1 spot and there are two occupants of said spot. First off is Odd Future and I got introduced to them by a few blogs and I haven't been able to stop listening to them ever since. Young kids doing something new and being relatively ignorant while doing it. All of their other projects have had my interest peaked in the same fashion. When they drop an actual record it is gonna be game over.Next up is J. Cole. I slept on his first mixtape and still have yet to listen to that record. From the first spin of this tape I was hooked, great beats and a chill flow did it. Dude seems a little more real life and relatable so that helps as well. There is a good chance that will change soon as he's fittin to blow up. I don't doubt that his actual debut is going to be mindblowing if this tape is a forecast.The rest of the lists will soon follow as the computer situation is on the mend.

Apple Packercakes

Or something like the title! ha. It was conference championship games this Sunday in the glorious world of the NFL so food and friends were combined to celebrate this occasion. Here is a little more dressed up pic of the aforementioned pancakes, as compared to the one in the link. These are really apple cinnamon ginger pancakes. It was a basic pancake recipe, that served 4 people really well, with two granny smith apples grated into the batter along with about 1/4 teaspoon fresh grated ginger, a teaspoon of cinnamon and some fresh grated nutmeg to taste. They were then topped off with some whipped cream I came across in a local organic food coop that was almond and cashew based and it turned out amazing. Pour a little pancake or maple syrup on there and you are living your life.
After seeing the outcomes of the games, the Super Bowl looks to be an exciting game in which I may or may not need the Packers to show up and win me some cash!

Nostalgia/Hilarity Overload

This was just something I could not pass on posting. I doubt it needs more explanation than just taking the exact time alloted to watch the video.
