Summer Tunes

My top music picks of this summer. . Santigold, Blue Scholars and Pete Rock


Santigold:
This song brought me to tears and pretty much became the theme song or anthem of my summer. 
Excerpt from Disparate Youth from Master of My Make Believe

A life worth fighting for
Oh-ah, Oh-ah
We know that we want more
Oh-ah, Oh-ah
A life worth fighting for
So let them say we can't do better
Lay out the rules that we can't break
They want to sit and watch it wither
Their legacy's too hard to take
Oh, we said our dreams will carry us
And if they don't fly we will run
Now we push right past to find out
How to win what they all lost
Oh-ah, Oh-ah
We know now we want more



Blue Scholars Cinematropolis 
Excerpts from Anna Karina 

Her mind:'s in the sky, but her feet pretend
when she walks on a beach sparkin a leaf.
but the trees don't ease what she feels within
Sees men who past her, but no matter the way
there:'s no faith like folks who need pastors...

worse case scenario
she'll find herself, in the wrong film
running by all herself. ...
