This one's about productivity in art creation.

It's pertinent because...

A dear friend and family member died on Monday. He was 31. Went to sleep. Did not wake up.  Our family is completely shocked over this. The sadness is profound and painful. So, today’s podcast is about The Rule of 1,000, which is correlated to the impermanent nature of existence and why it’s important you make art while you’re here.

Love,

Colin

Here’s what it’s all about... I took short clips from 3 songs… play them… talk about them… and a few personal stories surround them.

SONG ONE

Do you remember Captain Spaulding from The Devil's Rejects?

He's the clown in that movie. Creepy as hell.

Imagine that guy ate 6 hits of acid, a line of that white powder, and started walking out into the desert whilst humming a “rock n’ mantra” for spiritually enlightening the darkness...

… What would the soundtrack to his MIND sound like?

Probably amazingly weird, yeah?

Well, buckle up, kiddo: the first song I reference IS from the desert, and may just fuck with your mind.

M’kay…

SONG TWO

It is the last song on an album which won the 2012 R&B Grammy.

The song is actually a cover, though.

It's a cover of the indisputable instigators of grunge, Nirvana.

Your intellectual chakras may get cleansed out and spin clockwise in full rainbow cover as the result of this tune.

Yeppers…

SONG THREE:

“Mic check, mothaphucking representin’ deez nuts.”

If you've ever wondered what it's like to sell some crack cocaine, pimp big booty hoes, and pack a Glock 19 for your gang warfare in Compton in 1993…

… then this boogielicious groove may shed some insight on your curiosity.

It may also inspire the behavior necessary to build a new criminal enterprise.

Lovely.

In today’s episode, I talked about two things:

A little context about why this podcast exists and what it could deliver for you.
