It's Monday and People are Crazy!
Obama secretly wants to destroy America! Black people can't play Monopoly nicely!
Maybe the craziest part? People will totally believe this stuff and this documentary is already on pace to be one of the highest grossing documentaries ever.

A Lil More Music
I can't believe I forgot to mention this album when I did my music post a while ago...
Fresh Espresso - Bossalona: I absolutely love this album. Psmoov is crazy talented and I believe he has had a very large influence on much of the sound of Seattle hip-hop. Speaking of Psmoov this album seems to have quite a number of songs with just him and without Rick Rude (the other half of Fresh Espresso). I believe he recorded a lot of this in his home state of Michigan. This is fun hip-hop without being pretentious. It is also interesting that during the making of this album Psmoov went clean and quite drinking and using drugs. Through his rhymes you can tell which ones were written before going clean and which ones were written after. A pretty powerful song is "Goodbye My Love," a great song about coming clean and stopping the drug use. Now this album also knows how to party, check out the tunes "Benihana" and "Goodnight Sinatra." I'll finish this like I started it...I love this album

Nick's Guest Post: 2009
2009 And Doing Fine: The Climax of TheSShH
2009 was a big year for the TheSShH. They had over 400 postings for the year. That is more than one a day! So cray! The problem with having some posts is trying to find the ones you liked best. As you can it has taken me a while to send Stefan this guest post. Here are my favorites:

This video no longer works, but I remember it perfectly. I know this is one of Stefan’s best friends while growing up, but I couldn’t get my head around how this guy was in the video (and still is, please see the following youtube videos).
Apparently he put Seattle on the map. Interesting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUTnaeBUsq4
And he drives a new whip now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQVYJAlTGg4&feature=relmfu

Music Music...
Time to write something!
I have been meaning to do a little something about music but haven't had the time or the right 'tude to do it. At this point I think the best thing to do is to cover a number of different music stuff and just go with it.
Sol - Yours Truly: This album is absolutely fantastic. Great Seattle hip-hop, he was Macklemore's opening act for his last tour. Kid is a UW student that sounds beyond his years. The beats are also fantastic. Listen to this album and try not to like it. I would compare him to other people but I think that would just diminish his ability and sound.
Bon Iver - iTunes Sessions: A nice little EP of different versions of Bon Iver's tunes. I really wish they had done the song Perth but it is very nice anyways.
Brett Dennen - Loverboy: Brett Dennen really follows his signature sound and doesn't stray much on this. I never listen to Brett Dennen except for in the summer. I am a fan of his catchy single Comeback Kid. Frozen in Slow Motion is also a pretty sweet song.
NaS - Life if Good: NaS is pushing 40 now but still rap rap rapping. He tends to follow the same pattern, rap about the ghetto, drug dealers, cheating women and how great his first album was. You know what though? I don't care, I still like it. I will admit that I think the second half of the album is much better than the first. I think this is a real solid album and it is nice to see that he still sticks to rap and hasn't gone the way of pop rap.
When NaS focuses his writing on a story? Amazing...check out Black Bond.
Frank Ocean - channel Orange: I haven't been into R&B stuff for a while but this has some pretty good songs. Of course this album also comes with all of the drama that he came out right before it was released. This is a great step forward for the all of hip-hop and R&B. This is a good album but I'm not the one to fully appreciate it.
SBTRKT - SBTRKT: This is some interesting electro/house type stuff. I heard about them through my brother and I have rocked out to it a number of times since. I like most of the songs but some of them wear on me a little bit. It is pretty good music for the background.
Who doesn't like to wear a mask every once and a while?
Rick Ross - God Forgives, I Don't: In general I really don't like this style of hip-hop but for some reason I really like Rick Ro$$. His songs always feature that woman in the background going, "Maybach music..." (his record company) and him going "Ruh!" but I think that is just part of the charm. I don't think this album is as good as his last, "Teflon Don" but I can still rock out to it. Seriously, aren't those album names just ridiculous?
Citizen Cope - One Lovely Day: Like Brett Dennen, I only listen to Citizen Cope in the summer. I kind of forgot about him to be honest. Again, like Dennen, I find this album to be pretty average for their ability. Nothing really new in the sound but certainly not any worse. Easy to listen to in the sun.

Nick's Guest Post: 2008
Don’t Hate on 2008
Fav Post: My first blog request. http://thesshh.blogspot.com/2008/07/step-brothers.html

Least Fav Post: http://thesshh.blogspot.com/2008/12/seattle-sports-2008.html
From what I can tell, my first comment on this blog was on the July 3rd, 2008 review of Pineapple Express. While not my favorite of the year, it is worth mentioning.
2008 was not a great year for anyone. Bear Stearns went down in March; WA MU took a poop in September. People were losing their jobs by the hundreds of thousands per month. Let’s move on to 2009. I am sure it will be a lot better.
For our future health, you turkeys!
