I don't even listen to any of them on most days of the week, although the
Tron: Legacy score was on repeat a lot last week.
For the print compilation of my webcomic, I've been trying to write an article about one of my favorite movies,
Chan Is Missing, and I've been fighting off a bad case of writer's block with the help of some music. There was an episode of
Quantum Leap that mentioned that Sam and Al put on the
Man of La Mancha Broadway cast album while building Project Quantum Leap.
DJ Phatrick's
Asian American Hip-Hop for Dummies, a 2008 compilation of his mixes from the KPFA-FM program
Apex Express, has been my
Man of La Mancha album.
Despite the censored curse words (stay out of my mixtape, profanity censor guy from
Ping Pong Playa!),
Asian American Hip-Hop for Dummies is a fantastic sampler of APA hip-hop. Hey, look, it's a pre-electro-hop-era Far East Movement joint.
DJ Phatrick's mixtape is an effective cure for writer's block. My piece on
Chan Is Missing consisted of only 68 words last week. Then I started bumping the mixtape on my laptop to get myself to add some more words. The article is now up to 2,168 words.
