It's hard to believe this has only been out a little over a year.. I've found myself coming back to this song one cause it's the end of summer and this one always felt like a transition, but also for reflection cause a lot has happened within this year.

I wanted to ask the group what this song means to you and what does it make you feel like? I'm interested in getting the most out of this song that I can rn and have actually have some time to reflect on it today.

This happened at Sabino Canyon in Arizona. A 20-year-old cyclist was swept into the current while trying to cross a flooded roadway and was carried through a drainage tunnel beneath it. She was recovered downstream unconscious after spending several minutes underwater. Bystanders performed CPR and managed to revive her.

Rob just confirmed today that he's dropping something soon. I remember seeing a picture of him with Aes a little while ago - gotta be a collab for his new album/EP, right? This is just wishful thinking at this point, Rob hasn't mentioned Aes

Homeboy Sandman dropped his album on July 31, Rob Sonic is soon, then Aes and Blockhead? Hopefully we're gonna be eatin' good late summer/early fall

MIT Professor Lupe Fiasco, Ekkolapto's Addy Cha, and Professor Elan Barenholtz are joined for MIT Rap Club's first Rap Theory salon. Here is an exclusive sneak peak from the full panel!

I have been struggling to get out of my house and experience life. Depression is a bitch. I’ve listened to this album a few times though and nothing spoke to me like when this song came through my earphones like a message from the beyond. So instead of wasting another Sunday in bed moping about my own bullshit, Dobby and I left the house at 6am and didn’t return til my eyes were ready to slam shut around 11pm. I recorded pretty much everything I did and saw to make the lyrics a part of my own experience and feel something real for a change.

If you have the means, I highly recommend taking the time to do what you love, stir up some dust and explore your area. I bet, like me, you’d be surprised at what you find and a little closer to yourself by the end of it.

Definitely one of my top five from Aes! So excited! I finally was able to make this purchase. Now I'm wrestling with the duality of the situation. Do I keep it mint or do I open it and spin it? 🤔

“History is ending because the dominator culture has led the human species into a blind alley, and as the inevitable chaostrophie approaches, people look for metaphors and answers. Every time a culture gets into trouble it casts itself back into the past looking for the last sane moment it ever knew. And the last sane moment we ever knew was on the plains of Africa 15,000 years ago rocked in the cradle of the Great Horned Mushroom Goddess before history, before standing armies, before slavery and property, before warfare and phonetic alphabets and monotheism, before, before, before. And this is where the future is taking us because the secret faith of the twentieth century is not modernism, the secret faith of the twentieth century is nostalgia for the archaic, nostalgia for the paleolithic, and that gives us body piercing, abstract expressionism, surrealism, jazz, rock-n-roll and catastrophe theory. The 20th century mind is nostalgic for the paradise that once existed on the mushroom dotted plains of Africa where the plant-human symbiosis occurred that pulled us out of the animal body and into the tool-using, culture-making, imagination-exploring creature that we are. And why does this matter? It matters because it shows that the way out is back and that the future is a forward escape into the past. This is what the psychedelic experience means. Its a doorway out of history and into the wiring under the board in eternity. And I tell you this because if the community understands what it is that holds it together the community will be better able to streamline itself for flight into hyperspace because what we need is a new myth, what we need is a new true story that tells us where we're going in the universe and that true story is that the ego is a product of pathology, and when psilocybin is regularly part of the human experience the ego is suppressed and the suppression of the ego means the defeat of the dominators, the materialists, the product peddlers. Psychedelics return us to the inner worth of the self, to the importance of the feeling of immediate experience - and nobody can sell that to you and nobody can buy it from you, so the dominator culture is not interested in the felt presence of immediate experience, but that's what holds the community together. And as we break out of the silly myths of science, and the infantile obsessions of the marketplace what we discover through the psychedelic experience is that in the body, IN THE BODY, there are Niagara's of beauty, alien beauty, alien dimensions that are part of the self, the richest part of life. I think of going to the grave without having a psychedelic experience like going to the grave without ever having sex. It means that you never figured out what it is all about. The mystery is in the body and the way the body works itself into nature. What the Archaic Revival means is shamanism, ecstasy, orgiastic sexuality, and the defeat of the three enemies of the people. And the three enemies of the people are hegemony, monogamy and monotony! And if you get them on the run you have the dominators sweating folks, because that means your getting it all reconnected, and getting it all reconnected means putting aside the idea of separateness and self-definition through thing-fetish. Getting it all connected means tapping into the Gaian mind, and the Gaian mind is what we're calling the psychedelic experience. Its an experience of the living fact of the entelechy of the planet. And without that experience we wander in a desert of bogus ideologies. But with that experience the compass of the self can be set, and that's the idea; figuring out how to reset the compass of the self through community, through ecstatic dance, through psychedelics, sexuality, intelligence, INTELLIGENCE. This is what we have to have to make the forward escape into hyperspace.”
