DJ Falco

Recently I have been getting into a new hobby: Dj-ing; It is such a blast! I have only done 2 "shows" so far but each one i can feel myself understanding the flow of the music and just getting better at the trade. I love the feeling I get when you just play the right song and people light up and start moving. Technically, John Kurtz and I are a DJ team known as DJ's Starfox and Falco but since we are living in different places it makes it hard to collaborate for different music projects. Another part of my Djing experience is mashing songs together. The first songs I ever mashed were Justin Timberlake's "Sexyback" and Daft Punks "Cresendolls" a song that i like to call "Sexydolls". I have been trying to convince John that we should make an album of Mashups. I feel like we would need a different Artist name for out mashups though. If any of you have any suggestions I would be more than happy to hear them. Comment section boom. lets go!

Summer time

Hey there Grant here,

I am back by popular demand! Actually the real reason for this update is that some friends are just now getting into the whole blog thing, make sure to check out my good friend Brady Anderson's blog, and that drew me back in.

So I figure since summer started for me less than a week ago I should lay out a little preview for what it might hold. I am excited for this summer because all of my friends are going to be home from their first year of college with lots of sweet stories. It will be great to get back into the old swing of things (monopoly, risk, disc golf) but also experience some new stuff (wiffleball league, roller hockey, longboarding). As far as work goes I recently starting working at my Mom's restaurant making sandwiches and such and I am excited to see myself progress in that area. Also, I plan on running a firework tent in the middle of Illinois for 2 weeks so that should be interesting.

I plan on taking this summer as it comes. Who knows what will end up happening! Summer '10 Expect the unexpected........

Here is a list of songs you might hear blasting out of my car speakers this summer.

Discotech- YoungLove

Faded- Soul Descion

Summergirl- LFO

Ha

Ha! Remember the last time I actually wrote on this thing? Yeah i don't either. Well not anymore, I am back and better than ever. I don't have much to say right now but I will give you a short "Grant's Current Playlist" update.

Ryan Adams- His music is dope. He has a wonderful rock/country thing going on that blends with his voice like a delicious musical smoothie. Top that off with lyrics that just make the world make more sense.

My Top Songs- Dear Chicago, My winding wheel, and so alive

Ray La Montagne- This is your everyday normal guy turned incredible musician. He has a big raspy voice that really flows well with his accompaniment. On his latest album the use of horns and more instrumentation.

My Top Songs- Trouble, You are the best thing, Crazy

High School is over!

My last day of high school was yesterday friday May 15th. It is so weird to think I will not be attending Shawnee Mission East next year, it has gone by so fast it didnt seem like 4 years at all. I really don't know what to think right now because I do believe that my high school years have been the best of my young life so far. I can honestly say my school and my class helped shape me into who I am today. If you went back to middle school and asked me if I was going to nominated for homecoming king I would have laughed in your face, I was the biggest loser ever at Mission Valley.

Looking back I think the thing that started me out on the right foot in high school was running for stuco. I have always been an outgoing person and giving a speech infront of 500 kids of course didn't phase me. I shouldnl't have been up on that stage. I had NO idea what I was doing, I wrote my speech the night before but because of my best friend Brady Anderson and a few other specially placed helpers I won by over 200 votes. I was told it was the biggest margin of victory in a long time.

Overall I will miss high school dearly but I am ready for the next step. I think each of our

 lives is like a sculpture in the works. Every life experience is like God chipping little bits off of our

 stone and sculpting us into who we are suppose to be. I like to think I got a lot of chipping in high school. I would like to say thank you to eveyone who has helped me make it through. I couldn't have done it with out you!

I think this sums up all of my feelings

Song of right now

Song of right now for me: Wavin' Flag- K'naan

To me this song is just an inspiration. chorus just gets me fired up everytime.

"When I get older, I will be stronger,

They'll call me freedom, just like a wavin flag."

The best part about it is actually the artist himself. He has always been clean even while touring with the Marleys. Never touched alcohol and he says he has never smoked anything. He says that he gets a natural high from his music which I can totally relate to. He is also a Simolian rapper which makes him more legit because he had to grow up while there was a war going on around him.

"All Somalis know that gangsterism isn't to brag about. The kids that I was growing up with [in Rexdale] would wear baggy [track] suit pants, and a little jacket from Zellers or something, and they'd walk into school, and all the cool kids would be like, 'Ah, man, look at these Somalis. Yo, you're a punk!' And the other kid won't say nothing, but that kid, probably, has killed fifteen people." - K'naan
