I wanted to start my July right with a little bit of reminiscing. I have to give thanks to all the people that came before me and the people that are here with me. Your being here linked to mine in some unfathomable way but we are connected and an example of that connection is with Nujabes. I first heard Nujabes in like 2005 through a Japanese TV show for which he produced the soundtrack. Instantly I was like this guy knows what's up. A few years later I had the chance to hear some of his other stuff and his music literally changed my life. If you ever want to listen to the definition a soothing album please go find 'Modal Soul'. His music alone introduced me to many other artists and types of musics and moods I had not experienced before. The man was seriously talented but his life came to a rest late last year in 2010. People who were also inspired by his music and decided to release a 'Tribute to Jun' due to the shear amount of artists he connected with around the world during his time on Earth. Its very poignant and I recommend a listen for all. We are inextricably linked but compassion is a little harder to come by now days but we should never forget the connection.
Rest in Power, Seba Jun AKA Nujabes
