Finally, a day off. Things have been stretched thin at the Giving a F*ck Factory lately - stock is in short supply. But, despite it being a tough gig your boss pitied you and let you have the day off.
"Go to the beach or somethin kid, get some sun" Sure, no problem. You're a normal guy and that sounds like something someone normal would do.
Posted up on your Sublime beach towel, you prepare to get some rays. A waterproof "doob toob" hangs as a point of pride and (hopefully) point of conversation.
Just when the warmth of the sun began to plumb the depths of your over worked nervous system, you hear
[Buzzin 0:00-1:00]
Technicolor synths splash off the shoreline into the sky and down your ear pipes. The harmonic ribbons lift you off your ass and you wade through the dune space like a hypnotized bovine toward the silky sounds.
"I'm buzzin, chillin' wit my cousin" Following the vibration you make your way around a few over sized umbrellas, some guy with one of those metal detector things, and almost trip over a crab using an old tin can as a shell you stumble upon the scene of the vibes.
There's a small gathering of hip individuals, aura gently emitting like pastel water colors. The vibe is up and you surrender to the moment. One guy in a jersey that says "Earoh" calmly controls the boombox device while "Dewey Bryan" (You noticed his knuckle tattoos stating such) deals cards to himself while smoking a canon and rapping the outcomes:
"Black A Class
smokin black jack
way back with the Ajax
I'm Pat Sajak
Playin black jack
im raisin' a stack.....
I'm buzzin"
He passed you the woods and you inhale deep - day off and all that.
[Two-A-Days - 0:00 -25]
Earoh loads another tape in the boombox. The machine throbs to life in solid state glory - the bassline tap dances between cavernous rim shots. He pulls out some type of Teenage Engineering looking gizmo and lays some glossy keys over top of the medley.
[Dewey Bryan]
"Im doin two-a-days
I can do two in a day
New babes
got the blueberry bouquet...
cute name that's a touché
call me Bublé"
He seems amused by the effortlessness of his elocution, and the flocking shorties appear to certainly be enamored.
The entire beach has started to feel a bit like a discotheque. The next MC decides to leave his ode to his main thing:
[Blu 0:47]
"I remember in my youthful day
doin two-a-day
now i choose to stay faithful
cuz i got one in the cradle
it's crazy how a baby can change you,
and to the lady that made you,
I would like to say thank you"
With the sun going down and the mood at a collective high, you wonder what this shoreline conglomerate has to offer next.
[Chateau - Dewey Bryan - 0:30]
The sunset shimmers across the beach as the stars put on their make up.
Dewey burnin' down another of his seemingly infinite smoking tools rhymes with his whole chest:
"Type to slide thru wit a bad thing
I never had things
but white rice and black beans
Burn a rubber while the blunts burn the sun"
[Chateau - Kam Dela - 1:47]
"Just got back from the east coast
I was tourin out in Germany
Turnin down free coke
Olympic figure skaters doin lines in the bathroom
I figured eight, I was on a flight to get me back soon"
It seems like this moment has lasted forever and always will. Inhaling off the jazz cigarette, with warmth in your heart you look to past it to the next man....
????
Echoes of sparkling electric keys seem to return to the firmament.
You look left, right, but nobody is there. In fact, no proof of anything even closely resembling a jam except for a smoldering fire and a boombox running on the last few moments of a cassette.

It pops open and you pull it out to look at the label..... "Beach Burners...?"
