We’re jamming to DJ Sincere’s mix “Le Funk,” a funkjazztastic mix of old schools songs that your parents, maybe even your grandparents for some of you really younguns lol, shook their tail feathers too. It’s a great way to ease into the first morning of a busy work week.

Today, meetings, appointments…and the push to Montreal. Prince and Sade are playing at jazz fest, and those are only two of the names I can think of off the top of my head. If you’re looking for a cool summer quick getaway, Montreal is the place to be from June 25-July 3. Maybe we’ll see you there ;-)

For now, 

on the grind-get it, get it!

I almost choked on my bacon, egg, and cheese right now when Patrick fell out of his chair. It was one of those time and gravity-defying moments: a slow, unavoidable fall. He fell like, sideways, plank-wise, into a space between the monster ladder and desk extension. Hahaha. I mean, “are you ok?!” 

Michael Jackson morning! I’m planning my agenda for the day…much to be accomplished. We’re having a meeting, continuing organization & structural improvements, and of course, writing! We met Sophy, our publicist on Sunday. She’s super sharp, and I’m very excited to work with her.

Note: Last week Patrick and Tariq had a spontaneous song moment. OMG. I keep watching the video, it’s crack. I’m going to keep bugging them to make something with it because it is crazy catchy. I’d post it, but the file is huuuuge. 

Over the last few days, I’ve been in my head a lot more…consciously…and what’s come of it is an honest evaluation of what is. What? An examination of reality. In a nutshell: there is time enough for everything a person wants and needs to do, but you have to make the time for whatever those things are…and act…put them on paper and then execute them. La la la. Express truth, recognize reality, act positively…oh snap, the unity of the force and such.

Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday= busy, busy, busy.  Have I said “busy, busy, busy” before? Oh well, forgive me but sometimes it just takes too long to find the perfect phrasing.  Letting it slide, I’ll say that cleaning for the first part of the day, and writing, editing, mixing for the second part has kept everyone productive.  I mean, it’s pretty easy to be productive when you have an ongoing playlist of Michael Jackson and Prince in the background.  Toss in a little Marvin Gaye and you got a recipe for a happily active day.  Nikki and I have been busy editing an important letter…the joys of being a writer and trying to find the perfect ways to express what you want to say.  Aggravation ensues!

See that!  At least what we are writing for a purpose…something we can feel worthy of putting our best efforts into.  The rest of the team’s been doing everything from mixing and editing some tracks to making some sweet espressos.

Scott, Mike, and Buse are continuing their Tom highlights and song edits…it’s all coming together nicely and sounds pretty rad to me. Good news of the day (that I found out): Groundfood was really happy with our video for them!  This all makes us really proud and inspires us to work harder to please all these artists that we admire and respect.  Till tomorrow (or tonight, depending upon my mood) I wish you all a very happy Tuesday evening/night!
