Saudade – Mr. J Medeiros

alteredlines — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 05:52:12 +0000

This is an amazing record!
If you haven’t heard of Mr. J Medeiros
I highly suggest you check him out. This isn’t a vegitarian album, it’s full of meat. Mr. J is one of those artists that once you get a taste, you’ll want to gobble up his whole catalog. I’m still chewing on the album, but once digested I’m sure you’ll see some designs inspired by saudade. You can listen to the whole disc below. Go support! Share it, buy it, shout about it from the rooftops! Whatever works for you, spread the word!

I haven’t highlighted any local artists for awhile. It’s time to get back to that. Doug is an amazing illustrator! Seeing his work everyday is a great inspiration. I wish I had some more pictures to show off his talent, but you can visit Whole Foods Market in Wellesley to see a “gallery” of his current work.

Here’s a few of his pieces that I’ve found inspirational.

Missing!

We got Idols, trifle shifting into idle,
Desires demand we shift to control
Punishing the clutch to hold the situation,
Placed as the judge and the jury,
Surely the X-rays will say
that I’m without broken bones.
I’ve strayed from home,
Posting up posters on poles,
reading that I’m missing the point.
It’s about me, can’t see cuz
I’m rolling on these logs,
Hog the spotlight,
But you flip it, it’s bright
and exposes the picture I’m in,
So take the snapshot,
Why am I gonna blow up the spot,
It’s not about the spare change in my pocket,
Gotta rock it, Take out the Key,
Unlock it,
And actually make some change happen.
Don’t get trapped in imprisoned minds,
Rhymes timed to Roman lines…
Do not conform to the world view,
we gotta see through, TRANSFORM!
Confront the norm view, Renew ya mind,
And change like altered lines.

“Yaa I get it” (Muneshine remix)

Such a good Remix!

Deception

alteredlines — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 17:30:12 +0000

Word junction, what’s your function?
Are you used to build up or destroy?
Are your intentions to tear them down?
And if ripped to the ground is your inclination,
Then what is the motivation?

If I breathed air through lips to grow (that’s inflation)
What would your mental dictation tell you?
Would it be directed towards cessation
Or flow towards regeneration?
Does pushing others buttons ease the depression?
I mean these are just questions and who knows…
They could be internally based,
And often times we find it easier to place
Another person’s face on the one
Staring back at us from the mirror.
So spray some windex on the surface
Or maybe somethin’ with a little abrasion
If slave to the grind is where we been stayin’,
I’m just sayin’ dig deeper and remove the mask,
Cast off the disguise… WHAT GUISE?
Are you surprised that we been lying to ourselves?
