Being creative is pretty hard to do sometimes, so surrounding myself with possible inspiration is a must at all times. This past week I did so on a budget. Quasimoto "The Unseen" album for $7 at F.Y.E. Ummm, this album is the TRUTH! Its old, but oh so good. Quasimoto/Madlib made a 24 track gem with this one, and best of all, it comes with and insturmental CD as well to just zone out to.
Reservoir Dogs in the $5 DVD bin. Quentin Tarantino, Harvey Keitel, Steve Buscemi... the list is deep. The movie is crazy. All in all a very good $12 investment for these two fountains of thought. Check em out if you havent, revisit if you have.
