Chicago 2016
In memory of
Derrion Albert


My name is Shane, and it's been lengthened to Shanetron by other people throughout my life, so I've co-opted it.

I give Bad Advice and I sometimes day dream about Things We'd Do With A DeLorean, we being my friend Ben and I.

I live in Chicago, and I have formerly attended SAIC.

I'm 22 right now, but I'll be young forever.

I'm interested in the things that give me the LOLZ, giving others the LOLZ, music, remixing music, Drank Beverage, contemporary art, contemporary fashion, graphic design, being fussy, crucial hangs and bedroom moshing.

If you're reading this and it isn't in Futura, my bad.

Jay Electronica - Act I: Eternal Sunshine (The Pledge)



A song, using loops of melodies from the soundtrack of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (written by Jon Brion), rapped over by Jay Electronica, put together in five acts, with audio samples from various films, including the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, linking each act together. The five acts are as follows

01. “Intro”
02. “Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind”
03. “…Because He Broke The Rules”
04. “Voodoo Man”
05. “FYI”

There is something insanely satisfying about FYI. With the composition being nine minutes long, it almost seems unfair to call the last 2 minutes of it a victory lap, but that’s how it feels. Then again, that’s how Jay Electronica raps. A victory lap in humbleness and humility that fills the listener with hope, with mild hip hop braggadocio in the midst of it all.

Jay Electronica might be the artist of the decade you never heard of.
