Just happened to log into MySpace for the first time since forever last night to see this tidbit:

Quan is a short extract from a love letter, an Amateur (from the latin ‘Amator’-‘Lover’, from Amare ‘to love’) ineptly following the natural course of things since forever.

Apparently a photon that begins it’s life in the centre of the sun spends on average about 10 and a half million light years zigzaging to and fro as it slowly works it’s way to the surface, a distance that if traveled in a straight line would take a mere 2.5 seconds. It then takes a further 8.5 minutes to reach the earth.

Furthermore our Sun Converts Five Million tones of Mass (about the equivalent of a million elephants) into pure energy every second.

These factoids remind me of two things: 1. The virtue of patience and 2. That the immolation of a human heart pales in comparison to that of a Star’s. (Or is it the other way round?)

Is this a foundation for Hip Hop? Yes.

Quan Yeomans from Regurgitator finally delivers his 4 year labour of love on again off again requiem to those heady amateur days. Recorded in Sydney, London, Hong Kong, flight lounges, bus stops, doorways… and now making as many music videos as he can. Features The One, Gimme Gimme, And this is what she said…, Year of the Jerk and more. Touring in 2009.

Is this the beat you been looking for?

QUAN THE AMATEUR out now on Valve/MGM. … www.quantheamateur.com

Fuck yes.

The quantheamateur.com domain is currently showing a parked page, but this whois record tends to indicate it’s legit.

UPDATE: Apparently this has been out for weeks.
