You prepared yourself for this back in July.

You saw frustration etched on the face of the Best Pitcher in Baseball.

You saw tears shed by his wife.

Why, you asked over and again, couldn't the team just get it over with and spare him, her and us even more pain and anxiety?

Then last week you sat and thought a lot about the Best Pitcher in Baseball.

You remember a day when you looked into the team's clubhouse to see grown men acting like children. A competition was at hand to see who could throw a rolled up tape ball into the tiny hole at the top of a recycling receptacle from the furthest distance. Boys being boys, money, jokes, insults and loud laughs were being exchanged. In the middle of all of this, sitting quietly on a couch, reading the same pages from the same dog-eared book he read before every one of his games was the Best Pitcher in Baseball. He never once looked up. He never once flinched. In the midst of all this tom-foolery and carrying on, the Best Pitcher in Baseball carried on with his own pregame ritual. You watched in amazement for a few minutes until he finished his chapter, closed the book and got up to walk over to his locker. His deferential teammates quickly stepped aside to clear the way without him having to say a word. You admired his focus.

You remember a day in Florida. The Best Pitcher in Baseball had invited his team's most promising prospects to join him for his pre-dawn workout. You heard later in the morning most struggled to finish it and some threw up from the effort. You smiled knowing this was part of the same routine the Best Pitcher in Baseball followed on almost a daily basis throughout the offseason. You admired his work ethic.

You remember being asked one question after another about the Best Pitcher in Baseball. The one doing the asking was the Flame-Throwing Free Agent. "What's he really like?", he asked as you drove. Hard-working, dedicated, committed, you said thinking that even those words didn't properly suffice. "Does he really get up at 6 every day of the offseason?". No, you replied, he's already begun working out at that hour. "You watch", said the Flame-Throwing Free Agent. "I'm going to be like his shadow". He was true to his word. The two became fast friends, each pushing the other to get better. You watched this last fall as the Flame-Throwing Free Agent enjoyed his greatest success. You knew that success was shaped in large part by time spent with the Best Pitcher in Baseball. You admired his effect on others.

You remember taking pages of media requests to the Best Pitcher in Baseball and being greeted by the same glare that most hitters saw on 3-2 counts. The Best Pitcher in Baseball doesn't like interviews or cover shoots. It's not that he has a problem with reporters or photographers. It's not that he doesn't understand the job they have to do. It's that it interferes with the job he has to do. Every hour of every day between his games is carefully regimented. Everything with a purpose. Everything with a reason. You admired his dedication (even if you were a little intimidated -- OK, a lot intimidated -- by the stare).



You remember seeing the Best Pitcher in Baseball with his beautiful wife and two wonderful sons. Unrelenting on the mound, he offers them unconditional love. You can see their love in return means more to him than any complete game or shutout. You have seen the Best Pitcher in Baseball with sick children. Uncompromising and merciless in competition, he gives of himself with these gravely ill youngsters in a manner that you know isn't just for show. This is no photo op. This isn't a PR stunt. The Best Pitcher in Baseball can't stand photo ops or PR stunts. This is real. This is genuine. This is heart-warming. You admired his humility and humanity.

You think of all of this and suddenly you don't want to think anymore. You don't want it to happen. You don't want to admit it makes sense. You don't want to hear about promise and upside.

You tried to prepare yourself for this back in July.

But now, here in December, you know that you're still not ready.

How, you find yourself quietly asking, could the team take away the best part of summer in the cold dead of winter?

I'll start this off with "Start the Show" the unreleased extended version of one my favorite cuts off Common's 2007 "Finding Forever.
“Strange Fruit” is a leftover from the same album. You can probably tell from the soul sample and drums that Mr. West produced this one.
Whose idea was it to leave this shit on the cutting room floor?

When Sade’s sixth studio album Soldier of Love finally makes it way to release in the early weeks of next year, it’s arrival will mark ten looooong years since the release of the band’s last studio effort.

Now, we’ve come to expect long hiatuses between projects when it comes to this crew (if you recall eight years flew by before they followed up the “No Ordinary Love”-housed Love Deluxe with 2000’s Lovers Rock), but AN ENTIRE DECADE!?!…that just ain’t right.

Though it features a couple modern-ish production elements, longtime fans needn’t worry: “Soldier of Love” doesn’t try to re-write the cool Sade sound too dramatically, managing to perfectly fit side-by-side with the rest of the band’s much-adored nocturnal-soul catalogue.

Look for Soldier of Love to arrive February 8th, 2010.

Keys N Krates (composed of band members Jr Flo, Matisse Francois, and Adam Tune) are an innovative group from our beautiful city Toronto, producing distinct and dynamic sets, mixing hip-hop samples with live instrumentals. Their musical style simultaneously represents the raw soul of live instrumentation (drums, bass, keyboard), manipulation of turntablism and the progressive technology of Electronic Music. The result of this combination is surreal soundscapes and innovative melodies, hard hitting rhythms and an unmatched element of soul.
Keys N Krates have received rave reviews from online publications such as the Virgin blog, Urb Magazine, Killahbeez, and Frank 151 to name a few and have toured globally, and opened for artists such as Kid Cudi.
The self proclaimed “Live Remix” artists are something to be both seen and heard!

Urb Magazine Presents Keys N Krates // Live Re-Mixing 101

"Live Re-Mixing 101 is the the history of hip-hop and dance music getting ripped apart and rebuilt in real time, resulting in one of the most exciting, connective and participatory experiences in live music today.
Comprised of an award-winning DJ, Jr Flo, Matisse on keys and Adam Tune on drums, Keys N Krates have a communal arrangement that allows a manipulative diversity unprecedented in DJ culture.
Showcasing KNK's party-rock performances, Live Re-Mixing 101 includes their signature deconstructed compositions of:
Mos Def's Ms. Fat Booty, Tribe Called Quest favorites, The Fugee's, Fu-Gee-La, Talib's Get By, Dr. Dre's, Next Episode, Simian Mobile Disco's We Are Your Friends and more."

See all i wanna do is be RELEVANT, Just tell me that i ever meant anything MORE, That you could ever see me and you in another light, But its like the dark women indoors in the darkest nights by the wrong man, mostly all of them have made you incapable of a first IMPRESSION, what it do is i channel my aggression with no cable or antenna, Just intentions to impress you. If capable. Hoping that the material possessions can materialise to a BETTER you, Cars, nothing i drive can drive you out of this state of mind, For such an ugly picture and, MONEY, nothing i buy can buy more time for your ears to tell your heart to listen to it, DIAMONDS, a girls best friend is what they say but believe me with the right allegience shorty you gonna SHINE anyways, and everyday that goes by is a couple more lines in her diary, the day before is better than the present, so anyone presented in his presence is doing these life sentences, theres no key for release, no reason to be around, her mind in the clouds, she writes it all down, in her diary.
