teach me, edward james olmos (a mixtape by ham salad)



Let's just get one thing straight. I hate The Dead Poet's Society. I absolutely hate it. On the other side of the coin, I love Stand and Deliver with a passion. As an enthusiast of literature, I feel short changed when it comes to inspirational high school films. Why do math buffs get to feel all warm and fuzzy running numbers while I, on the other hand, have to watch dickbutts stand on their desk and shout, "O captain, my captain?" They get the suave, debonair Edward James Olmos while I'm stuck with Robin "I'm a genie" Williams. This mixtape is devoted to Mr. Olmos and his number one student, Lou Diamond Philips. Remixes galore and the dancy beats that keep the party going are, as usual, present in this one. Take a listen!

miss teen disco 1988 feat. Kelly Hu (a mixtape by ham salad)


Some people don't care too much for beauty pageants. They think it's superficial and shallow. "These competitions don't judge the girls for their inner beauty and their personalities." Well, that just sounds like the ramblings of wet blanket, or a party pooper. I wouldn't call myself a fan, but I will say that I do enjoy the novelty of it all. It's almost like the Olympics for hot women, and if there's one thing in this world I absolutely love, it's the Olympics. This mixtape is a hybrid of new and old, here and there. There's quite a bit of 80s Euro Pop, as well as old school classics from New Edition and Janet Jackson. Remixes galore as well as a tasteful ending, courtesy of the Miss Philippines 2010 fan club.

PS I would have come out with something for the holidays, but with the new fightstick and all the new games, I really haven't been able to sit down and create. Not to mention, Whitney Cup 2k12 is steadily approaching and I have to hone my Tekken skills. New literary works coming soon (perhaps a quick screen play?) as well as a possible video promo for Whitney Cup. Collaboration still in the works, so hold tight.
