Tyler wrote up the top eight inventions in his life and it got me thinking–beyond the implications of muppets and porn being on the same list–about the top inventions in my life. Likely this list will radically change in the coming weeks but for now here it stands:
- Books
- Internet
- MP3
- Linux
- Wok
- Razors
- Sunglasses
- Coffee
Those eight items are me in in a nutshell.
Working on some mixes for a friend and I am feeling pretty good about this one, especially since it is likely the first time Hip-Hope has hung out with Folk, Cambodian Psychedelia, Reggae and House.
