#HEATNOHYPE #thasmyflava

in creating an online presence for the Refinery, i figured i should embrace the various media forms that were at my disposal. this approach leaves me very open to try various new sites & services to see whether or not they enhance the efforts, or serve as distractive novelties.

i don't tend to be an early adopter, but it really depends on how interesting the site/service is. some sites i make use of have been around for years now & are no brainers. as a mediavore, YouTube is clearly 1 of the no brainer sites.

interestingly i focused solely on audio while studying media communications at TU. i told self during my 1st stint at TU that this might come back to bite me & it kinda did. what i now do w/video is primarily self taught. as w/all my other production endeavors, i'm working to improve my proficiency & knowledge of how to communicate w/motion visual imagery.

since i do have various means of creating raw video i created the Refinery's I. the Refinery's I is the Refinery's visual media outlet for the moment. i maintain several playlists at the Refinery's I. the ability to use YouTube through Blogger is a nice benefit.

these are 3 of the playlists that are kept public to share musical vibes #thasmyflava :

#certifiedbanga01

hip-hop

#certifiedbanga02

hip-hop

#dflistens2
(will likely end up w/a 01 designation)

funk, soul, & jazz

i'm not big on hype. people gas too much w/hype. that shit builds expectation & there's nothing quite as unpleasant as unmet expectation. this seems even more so unpleasant when the expectation has been created by agents outside of self.

mayhaps that's just me...

either way, i'm on the #HEATNOHYPE flavas. if i say i dig something, it's no hype, just heat. i don't say watidig because i got paid to...udigme?

get at me...

PEACE
...be calm...
