ok i don’t know what’s been going on with this blog, but it’s time to do something. i’m bored.
i’m going to try to post shit up here. i started listening to [new-er] music again and i think i’ve got a few posts lined up for this bad boy. might mess around with a few other things on here too.

this post has nothing to do with music. or anything related. it’s about one of the greatest movies of all time. RUDY!!

i remember the first time i ever saw rudy; fucking hated it. i was so pissed at my uncle for renting it and making me watch it that day at my grandma’s house. towards the end i think i was alright with it, but i was still pissed. fast forward to 2007. i had the hots for this girl in chicago named jen. while i was at her house one time i saw she had the dvd and i was all like, RUDY!! trying to get her to watch it with me, so youknow, i could put the moves on her fine ass. naturally, she didn’t really want anything to do with me and said she wouldn’t watch the movie with me. so i kept insisting [demanding] she watch the damn movie with me. eventually i realized she would never fall in love with me so i stole the movie from her house and watched it on my own time. this is when i realized how fucking amazing this movie is. how incredible the power of rudy really was. there’s so many aspects of the movie that make you fall in love. with the movie, with rudy, with anything. oh, did i mention that a [very] young vince vaughn and jon favreau [swingers, made, etc] are in it??

now, i have a lot of favorite movies, and i have to break them down to sub-genres -ie. classics, movies of my time, movies of all time etc- but rudy falls in the top three of movies i just fucking love. right alongside the temptations movie and [movie title]. so yeah. like i said, this post has nothing to do with music and probably should have been posted up on something along the lines of livejournal. but i don’t care. i want the world to know; I LOVE RUDY!!

ok ok, i guess i’ll upload a beat i made a while back that has a rudy sample in it. and yes, i made this song when i was madly in love with that girl. who wanted nothing to do with me. [until a year or two later when we ran in to each other at a bar. but she got fat and i didn't wanna hit it anymore]

if you’re a dj/producer/whatever and you haven’t checked out ccMixter yet, you probably should jump on that. its a creative commons audio site full of royalty free samples from all sorts of musicians. they have contests and lots of cool shit for you to do. i got a bunch of random samples from there a while back and every now and then i throw something in to the mix and see if it works. conveniently the vocal track from Christopher Willits’ song Color Shifting fit my track pretty well and i kept it. i still haven’t listened to the original, but i’m pretty pleased with my remix. soooooo check it out!

ok it’s been a while. a looong while, but fuck it, we’re back and ready to get this shit going. a lot has been going on in our lives and we needed to take some time for ourselves and revamp this site a little. as you can see there’s still a lot that needs to get finished, but i’ll be working on it pretty much every day for the next few weeks.

those mixes to the right over there wont be up for a little while, but i wanted to throw the images up anyway. once those get up we’ll be recording/uploading a new mix every week, (probably on sundays) aaaand the shop should be fully operational by the new year! (i’m shooting for jan.01) we’ve got shirts, stickers, buttons, mixtapes, everything!! all sorts of goodies for hella cheep yadig!! and as usual we’ll be posting about all the crazy music in our lives, and believe me, we’ve been getting in to some shiiiit. so sit tight and bear with us as we get the ball rolling again.

and like always, if you’ve got something we don’t know about or wanna send us something you’re working on, email it to beatkiddss@gmail.com and we’ll check it out. thanks, jon

decent lineup too.
oh, and IT’S 18+
:3 want

first mixtape i ever made.
started recording it a week after i got my turntables, mix of sweet 80s songs with a few extras. there’s only one copy of the original mix left, but i re-recorded it using *gasp* a compuuterrrr! i had to record some of the tracks straight from the original vinyl so yeah, it sounds like it…

anyway, this mix is the shit and it gets loud as fuck. dig it.
