Silence of My Mind


"When it gets too crazy and I can't be found
I may be hiding in the silence of my mind
If you're looking for me but I can't be found
I may be hiding in the silence of my mind
Silence of my mind."
- 'Silence of my mind' by Incognito

After months of waiting, I finally got hold of the new Incognito CD, "Tales from the beach."
(Thanks Romey!)
It's a strange wave of relief that sweeps over me....when I'm lost in the groove again.
That sweet, soul music is a balm to the soul.
So don't mind me if I don't hear u talking to me. :)
This new album is a bit too 'dance-y' for me...but the strong, thumping basslines make up for it.
Ha! I remember what Incognito said to their audience in their "Live in Tokyo" album....
"we're all one nation, under the groove!"
So trippy, but so true! haha!

All this talk about funk and soul music is making me excited about Chijazz 2008 (The annual Chijmes Jazz Festival)!! Not sure what the exact date is...but it should be a Sun evening in Oct. Yeah...am looking forward to chilling out on the lawn, under the stars in the company of gd fwens....bring along your wine/beer/picnic baskets etc. So nice! :)

I got my Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller, Victor Wooten concert tix today! Good thing we got it in time...they were selling super fast. If I miss 3 legendary bassists on one stage, I'll kill myself.

I now have John Mayer's Live DVD in my iPod video.....yeah, thanks to my cool cell leader, Morris. Woohoo! I can watch it on the go!! We had a short JM dvd viewing after cell today. Coolness!
