On today's episode of Dart Against Humanity I discuss my fixation/fascination with album sequencing, specifically the difference between classic albums that are sequenced almost perfect vs. classic albums that could be sequenced in a way that make the album flow as well if not better than the original version. I begin with the case studies of Janet Jackson's "Control" & Anita Baker's "Rapture" vs. Phil Collins' "No Jacket Required" & Tears For Fears' "Songs From The Big Chair". Music nerds will love this one...

Dart Against Humanity Ep. 100: Game Oeuvreture 57:44

57:44

The word "oeuvre" refers to the collected works of an artist, author or a painter. An "overture" is either an orchestral piece at the beginning of an opera, suite, play, oratorio, or another extended composition or it can be an introduction to something more substantial. Smash them both together and you have an "oeuvreture". I run down the history of Dart Against Humanity, tell you what I've learned and what the future holds for me. Thank you for listening to Dart Against Humanity for the past 30 months and 5 seasons. I appreciate you all.…

55:04

I tell the full story of how my verified Twitter account with over 20K followers got hacked and while I do want it back, why I'm simultaneously not in a rush to get it back. Report it as hacked so it can't infect other accounts and Twitter finally secures it, but I'm enjoying not arguing with people all day long in the interim. Also, happy 15th anniversary to my last day working a real job at CVS.…

50:56

On today's episode of Dart Against Humanity I had to figure out what to make the episode about since I've been so busy and I wrote a piece during this podcast since I'm on a deadline. I decided to call the episode Blockstun after an FGC term referring to when a video game character is still stuck in their blocking animation after stopping an attack. When you hear the episode, it'll make sense...…

51:24

On today's episode I discuss the real life & career ramifications of keeping it 100 at times and never compromising as a critic/journalist versus when to recognize when there's no need to give your take or insert your opinion when it won't add to the conversation or it isn't warranted. Rest in eternal peace to Chadwick Boseman & John Thompson.…

I explain where I presently am physically, emotionally and mentally 72 hours short of turning 45. I discuss my issues with Rob Markman going back years, why I skipped a mid life crisis and the mindfuck of being able to do things you always wanted to do as a young person but how that still might be enough to fill that void or satiate me.

Tonight I tell the full story behind the rise and fall of my label Producers I Know, how I quit journalism to the become a full time label owner, A&R and creative consultant in August 2015. By November 2016, everything had gone to shit. By January 2017, I was back in Rap journalism writing Knowledge Darts for Mass Appeal. This is a story of triumph, failure and resiliency in the face of adversity. Much like the train in "Snowpiercer" I will never stop moving forward, no matter what happens. Only 10 more left!…

Last episode was called Non Stop, in this episode I decided to discuss what the aftereffects and realities of going nonstop or hustling your ass off are like. I feel that being completely transparent in this space is the only way to avoid making people in this space or field think in order to achieve success they need to do what I do. Do what works for you.…
