Guess who…

Under budget.

Under time.

Over performed.

Great communication skills.

Who am I referring to?

I just finished reading another interesting article from Fast Company about transforming American higher education thanks to my friend and co-worker Adam. I thought I’d share a few random thoughts I had afterwards.

25 Interludes

I’ve been trying to revise my iTunes library lately to get rid of songs I never listen to and to make it more manageable (22,000 tracks is not manageable). To weed out tracks I never listen to, I’ve been searching for keywords like ‘intro’, ‘outro’, and ‘interlude’. It just so happened that after I got done deleting unwanted interlude tracks I had exactly 25 left so I thought I’d list them out to share some of the randomness that is my iTunes library.

  1. Interlude by Memphis Bleek from 534
  2. Pack the Pipe (Interlude) by The Pharcyde from Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde
  3. ‘92 Interlude by Gang Starr from Daily Operation
  4. 4 Better or 4 Worse (Interlude) by The Pharcyde from Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde
  5. b.i.g. interlude by The Notorious B.I.G. from Life After Death
  6. Interlude by My Chemical Romance from Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge
  7. Eric’s Interlude by Modest Mouse from Good News for People Who Love Bad News
  8. Normal Guy (Interlude) by The Lonely Island from Incredibad
  9. Superstar (interlude) by Usher from Confessions
  10. Interlude by (+44) from When Your Heart Stops Beating
  11. Confessions (interlude) by Usher from Confessions
  12. Interlude by Thievery Corporation from The Richest Man in Babylon
  13. Interlude by Jay-Z from The Black Album
  14. Young Money N***a (Interlude) by Lil Wayne from C Squared
  15. Intuition Interlude by Jamie Foxx from Intuition
  16. Already Know (Interlude) by Mario Winans from Hurt No More
  17. Bamboo (Interlude) by OutKast from Speakerboxxx/The Love Below
  18. The Fallen Interlude by Blink 182 from Blink 182
  19. God [Interlude] by Outkast from Speakerboxxx/The Love Below
  20. Boyz N Da Hood Interlude by Boyz N Da Hood from Boyz N Da Hood
  21. U Still Got It (Interlude) by Jamie Foxx from Unpredictable
  22. Public Service Announcement (Interlude) by Jay-Z from The Black Album
  23. game-interlude by VA from DJ Sean Mac - Street Crack
  24. Lovestoned/I Think She Knows Interlude by Justin Timberlake from FutureSex / LoveSounds
  25. What Goes Around…/…Comes Around Interlude by Justin Timberlake from FutureSex / LoveSounds

I thought it was interesting that these ‘interludes’ ranged from being 0:16 to 7:29 in length. That ‘game-interlude’ is an interview with The Game where’s he talks about his mom being a crip, what his teardrop tattoos mean, and who he wants to beat up (kind of funny). I think my favorite has to either be “‘92 Interlude” or “Bamboo (Interlude)” because that little kid is hilarious.
