Get Galvanized with the Chemical Brothers

Tuesday, February 8th, 2011
One of the tracks that keeps me galvanized is Galvanize by The Chemical Brothers The tune is very cool, I like the beat and it features Q-tip who is one of my favorites (I'm a big A Tribe Called Quest fan). The lyrics are also very motivating. It's basically about pursuing your passion/dream and letting go of fear of what others will think. I would have to say this song is almost like an anthem for my life right now. I actually hear myself saying "push the button" when I'm ready to take a big risk such as a scary phone call I have to make or sending my 'stuff' out to the world. It gives me the extra 'umph' to do things I would rather put off until 'tomorrow.' Here's a video for you to watch. If you can't see it below, click here and see it on YouTube.

Japandroids and I Don’t Want to Worry about Dying

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010
I am currently in the eye of a transformational storm that's running through my life. Just today I wrote in my icreatehabits.com blog about "waking up" and living life versus fearing death. Right after I wrote about it, I heard Young Hearts Spark Fire by Japandroids on XMU. One of the repeating lyrics is "I don't wanna worry about dying I just wanna worry about the sunshine girls".

Rinkrat’s Song of the Week – 8-26-08 – Starz in Their Eyes by Just Jack

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008
Maybe every song is really like a Rorschach test. Just Jack's Starz in Their Eyes makes me think a couple of things. One is, if you want something to happen, you have to make it happen. It won't happen just because you dream about it. Two is, be yourself. Don't try to be what others think you should be. What does it make you think about? Listen to songs on the Just Jack MySpace page. ...or, watch/listen to the YouTube video: itunes logoBuy Just Jack on iTunes Rinkrat is the former owner of Southern California punk rock icon, Zed Records.

Rinkrat’s Song of the Week – 7-22-08 – Anne Braden by Flobots

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008
"There is another America". That's a line from the song that tells the story of Anne Braden. The "other America" knows that oppression and predjudice are wrong. We know it's all about power and control and we know that power violations grow in the dark. This "song" is as much a spoken word piece as it is hip hop. Flobots entertain and mesmerize us as they shed light on the story of a white Civil Rights activist who protested the lynching and slavery of blacks in the South. Their album, Fight with Tools is a rousing piece of lyrical art woven from bits of rock and roll, hip hop and alternative rock. A violin floats in and out drawing memories of American Heritage stories. I hear influences ranging from Rage Against the Machine to Black Eyed Peas to Bauhaus. The lyrics are hauntingly familiar. These are the words that appear in classic books and great songs in every genre since music began. The sound is edgy enough to be cool and Pop enough to be accessible. I can imagine a seven-year-old and her mother rockin' this in an SUV or a 60-year-old hippie smoking a joint and saying "this is the way it used to be." One of their songs might end up being played at halftime during the Super Bowl some day. Even though I'm only posting Anne Braden here, I highly encourage you to go to their MySpace or their website and listen to more. You can read the lyrics on-line if you click on this link.
