Lorde - Royals (Zander Remix)

Smif N Wessun 'Wreckonize' Rmx definately got me into this song!
Thought this'd be a perfect one for Valentine's Day coming up. This came about after a series of serendipitous events in early december 2013, talking with Ness, The Herbal Hustler about Bill, led to making a mini-bill mix (maybe i'll put that out one day if I expand on it), to watching the documentary "Still Bill" and on the plane ride home, I thought to myself "I'd like Just the Two Of US alot better without Grover's sax" so, I started working on it just for fun. Well, here's how it turned out. Just the Vocal Bill parts chopped, some magic that could only come from the great heart of Bill Withers! 

 Time WIth You is a personal one, lots of heart opening while I was working on it, and what was going on with myself, my wife, my best friend Ness, and her boyfriend. It's about spending one-on-one time with those you love, which is so so important when the relationship is deep. Whether it's a: mother, father, grandma or grandpa, brother or sister, wife or husband, daughter or son, homie, friend, soul mate, or twin soul. Whether renewing an old friendship, or starting a new one, all the words you need to voice how you feel were sung by Bill 30 some years ago.

So, to dedicate, on my travels, I of course interact and sometimes hangout with the Girlfriends & Wives of my Musical Peers. They always tell me the SAME THING. "Gaff, make sure you make the most of your time with your lady when you're at home" So, really, this song is for them, missing their men, and to all my brothers travelling or touring on the road, "make the most of your time with YOUR ladies when you're at home!"

Storytime:
 "A smile from you might make it a nicer day"
 For everyone who DOESN'T have someone this year, as well as those who are in an unfulfilling relationship that's lost it's spark, or never had one in the first place....Valentine's can be a source of pain and heartache for people the world over, whether single OR in relationship.....we all feel lonely at times....In my personal healing practice, when a client comes in wanting to find a meaningful love relationship, I have to find the part of them that is lost and lonely by connecting with that part in myself.......To feel the times I've been lonely and grasping and gasping...It's called empathy....Usually, once we truly feel our loneliness and stop running from it through overwork, drugs, alcohol, non-commital flings, etc.....we come to a point where we have to face it.....whether true friends help us, family, a healer or we do it solo, we come to that place of pain in our hearts. Feeling what's really there, the sadness, we do what needs to be done and eventually find a breakthrough and don't feel so lonely cuz we've come to love ourselves in a new and powerful way, at which point we can truly "find" someone who is meaningful or has real potential......a real "Valentine", whatever time of the year they happen to come..... 
 This song can help you connect with your Loneliness. I connected with my Loneliness and longing while making it, I've been a single father twice over, been isolated missing my lover or favorite friends...Had to learn alot of tough lessons about loneliness...In December, while I was working on this, My wife came down while I was making it on the first day and said "I have to have you right now, I can't take it anymore" ---Split second decision and I took care of her right then and there. This song took her to her loneliness even while making dinner in the kitchen upstairs.
 Tell a friend you love them. You care about them. Whether they are single or in an unsatisfactory relationship. Fuck all that shallow shit. You don't need to be that way. Be a lover and warrior for Love.
 Sometimes we can't be with the people we love the most. Not now, not ever (in this life). That is also a painful realization I've had to be help clients and friends through over and over...You'll find a new love....And then, there's the people who've departed from us in the physical world and "left us behind", and you can only wait to find out the truth when you die......my heart goes out to all of you in this song with Bill, and I've arranged it so that he is You speaking to THAT PERSON, or those people. Echoing what's in your heart. 
 Mark Twain said "the 2 most important days of your life are the day you were born and the day you find out why" I'd like to add a 3rd, it's the day you stop caring what anyone else thinks about you expressing your deepest truth and feelings and you take the leap and do it. Over and over and over again. Peace. 
Gaff, Friday, Feb. 13th, 2015.

SHOUTS: My Wife Sarah's smile is the most amazing thing. She's taken me out of some dark places....My Best Friend's Ness, Nu, and Bastid all have smiles so fucking dope they can take me out of any loneliness while I'm with them... My Son's smile is brighter than the sun. My daughter is a teenager and getting her to smile is A CHORE. Ha...

Smile For Me

Politics of Greed ft. Kromanauts
by Omegaman
FKX131 - Fort Knox Recordings

Out Worldwide Friday August 14th, 2020:
https://orcd.co/politicsofgreed

“Caught with your hands in the cookie jar, and now you wanna go and start a war”. As if 2020 hasn't been challenging enough, all over the globe the Politics of Greed are all too common, on every continent. It's time to stand up to these corrupt politicians whose agendas are dictated by pharmacological and petrochemical corporations, and the military-industrial complex they serve. Enough is enough!

Australian producer Omegaman has teamed up with the Kromanauts of Washington, DC to create a timely protest anthem. The message is delivered via a funky reggae tune built with fat, punchy drums that really set the pace. Omegaman himself laid down a dubby bass-line, which Marty Fabok of Allniters & Ozskas augments nicely with his skankin' guitars. Enter the Kromanauts, and up first is Kush el-Amin who adds more fresh guitar chords and licks. And of course there's Kanjia Kroma aka Juku, who adds his piercing lyrics and smooth flow to round out the track.

Included with the release is a steppin' drum'n'bass remix by Bristol based producer Waggles, and its just perfect! Precise drum programming is joined by booming basslines that roll out for the duration of the track. The uptempo d&b vibes are perfect for Juku's vocals, and the result is a firing ragga jungle tune that will do damage to any dancefloor. Instrumentals of both tracks are also included.

“The time is now to stand up and fight back against the systematic corruption in our governments. To stare down and call out the face of hypocrisy, lies and greed. Once and for all….”
