Reminiscing (Prod UNTITLED)

In this July entry, I’m tending to the maintenance—checking in on how I’ve been moving through life, and making space to adjust the things that no longer fit. Halfway through the year, I’m learning to move with more discernment: being intentional about the energy I carry, the people I keep close, and the goals I choose to chase.

Turning 30 isn’t far off, and that milestone has me thinking about where I’m headed—not with pressure, but with clarity. This episode is a mid-year tune-up. A reminder that consistency is care, that rest is resistance, and that the road ahead is only as smooth as the work you’re willing to put in now.

This is a space for memory-keeping, storytelling, and building a community through audio frequency. Feel free to join the conversation in the comments, share your takeaways, or simply vibe out. Thanks for listening.

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Tonight, we're taking it back to the summer of 2005. You know, the one where the Bush administration butchered the Hurricane Katrina response? I miss 2005, but can't deny that summer was an eye-opener of how bad things were going to get, making it both nostalgic and ominous. Lot of great music and video games though, and it was the summer before I started my homeschool year, so that was a vibe.

Big KRIT - R4 Theme Song (BW99 Chopped & Screwed)

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Tonight, we're headed back to the last four months of 2015 -- we were inching further into trump world, Joe Budden's new podcast was wasting everyone's time, and I was starting to face my first moments of difficulty in keeping up with the times. It was a weird fall, but one I sometimes miss the feeling of, tremendously. There was a lot of great music during that time, as well as some bullshit. I'd go back, even if I can't front that I wasn't in the greatest headspace. But man, look at how things have stagnated. Ay caramba.

Unfortunately, Soundcloud's character limit is kicking in, so you'll have to Shazam shit from here out. Sorry :( I transitioned between Destiny and Kid Cudi, at the end, with a snippet from Filthy Frank's ET 2 video. I loved that shit back in the day lol. Leave a comment if you need me to identify a track. 

Also, I apparently reposted this on FB ten years ago today, if that helps get a sense of how much of a doofus I can be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7CzGAj_gCw.

The Clean Up Hour, Mix 345 (November 21, 2025): an Ode to 2015, Part 3 of 3

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Tonight, we're coming back full circle -- the first ode, made 5 years ago, looked back at 2010, and now, we finish off by reviewing the last four months of that year. I felt like Neo in the Matrix, downloading the world straight into my brain, one .zip and mp3 file at a time. It was an era of unprecedented discovery for me, one I'd relive in a heart beat for that high, at least. Wasn't a perfect time (high school sucks ass, duh), but it's a high I'll never feel again, and that's gotta stand for something. 

If you couldn't tell, tonight's mix is lengthy as hell, so I will just list the tracks for part one. Part 4 is nothing but Charles Hamilton.
