Diplo

I forgot what panel I was watching, off the top of my head I'm gonna guess it was the emc australia one. An audience member asked or someone brought up the topic of playing high quality songs during your set, and Diplo responds with how he didn't care at all, he'd use songs he ripped from youtube in his set and I actually lol'd and decided next time I hear Diplo I'd give him a chance. I've never been a huge Diplo fan for whatever reason. Maybe cause I wasn't huge on the Major Lazer stuff, but I decided to go ahead and give him a watch since they were playing him on tomorrowworld tv on youtube and he's the first artist I've watched from festival streams that made me think, oh shit, this is what I've been missing out on!?! This whole time, this is what I've been missing out on! The second he dropped The Crown which I later found out was gonna be on his new revolution ep, I was sold. The Revolution EP has been on all my playlist since the day it was released 2 weeks ago.

Then I listened to this,


Next step is to actually see Diplo next time I get the chance. He's quickly moving to becoming one of my favorites. I know I'm super late, but better late than never I say.

New Beginnings

So originally I was gonna jump ship to tumblr, but I think I've decided not to. I love the layout I currently have too much. I might even make it my main website and give up on the wix one I’m currently using for jamiecherish.com. It’s been over a year since I've written a real blog entry. I recently moved to the NoHo Arts District two months ago. Since I left West LA after only living there 6 months a few years ago, I’ve wanted to come back to LA badly. I missed it, so when the opportunity came to move in with my brother, I had to take it. Leaving all my best friends, family and work behind was gonna be tough but I love adventures too much not to move. I was kind of bored of the Bay. I’ve decided LA is gonna be the place I turn things around. Especially if since I was giving up so much to do it. I want to focus as much as possible on making music and since I’m in LA, networking. Who knows how long I’ll actually be down here. So far I love it and I’m not sure whether or not I still want to go to Nashville in a year. I may want to extend my stay down here. I’m gonna go with the flow on that one and figure it out in a year. For now I want to sit back and enjoy the good times. Over the next week, I kinda want to recap the amazing time I've had so far down here. From then on, every Sunday I’m gonna try to hammer one of these out and recap the week give or take. If nothing interesting happened, then it will be a short post. Let’s hope that doesn't happen that often. I still want to get my youtube series started on tattoos. That’s gonna be my second project down here, another amazing opportunity only LA can provide. No updates in the love life, well there’s this one girl, I think I’m just really really intrigued by her, I’m gonna have to ask her out to lunch.

P.S. I’m gonna start writing the music that was played while writing this blog. I think 10+ years from now, if I ever look back on this blog, I’d really love to see what music I was listening to at the time.

Redesign

Didn't realize I hadn't updated this thing in almost a year. Kinda sad about it. I completely redid the layout and everything and I'm kinda impressed with myself, not bad for an amateur, I think, lol. Also, completely redid my website JamieCherish. That came out surprisingly well. Now I just have to start updating everything and be on top of my social media. I'll post later this week how my last year went in a nutshell. Things definitely are going in the correct direction with a few pitfalls.
