Breakfast

I've been listening to pretty much this cycle of tracks every morning for the past week, and we all know breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I've been bumping all of these albums fairly heavily lately, especially the Pete Rock & Slum Village, and I'm quite fond of the new Gorillaz album--it's a funny little album, but somehow the whole Lou Reed/Mos Def hanging out at Koopa Troopa Beach thing manages to come off as refreshing; whimsical and subtle, for an experiment with jungle dub. It's unapologetically silly. Even the cheesy Snoop Dogg track is great. An excellent Madlib beat, some Of Montreal classics, etc. etc. Well balanced; twenty minutes of music is just enough time for a double espresso and a joint before class; good morning.
