I originally had an article drafted last week on a few interviews I found on the internet by way of the hype machine. But friends of the Consortium, Better Than Yours, put me on to an interesting development — a little blogosphere beef between Heron P. and the writers over on the Complex Blog surrounding an interview Heron did with NYC coolguy A-Ron.
Basically what I drafted last week still applies. Here’s my take on the whole thing:
Just surfing the internet in a daze checking shit out…. came upon a couple of things that I thought were worth posting.
First is this Paul White beat tape over at Dazed Digital. It’s so on point. I’m already on my second listen and it’s quite dope. I’m usually pretty skeptical about things like this but apparently this dude is on the up and up and it’s not hard to see (hear) why.
Next, on a more visual note is a series of pictures taken by Dennis Stock. They’re all from the filming of the Planet of the Apes. It’s great how they capture the spirit of the period and of LA and Hollywood from back in the day. I smell a BAPE tshirt somewhere in the mix.
billy and his new fixed that he put together in tokyo (we were in yoyogi park for a drink and a ride saturday afternoon)
pullin’ some trickster shit in the park
my first fixed gear experience and i’m hooked
i passed by a dude on his fixed gear and we kind of gave each other the “yo, what’s up my fixed-rider” nod – what a sham i am!
a close up of billy’s fixed

not a fixed but just as cool

Fashion’s Next Big Bang
Via US Weekly. M’julie noticed this shot of the ever hip John Mayer and his girl rockin a supreme tee. Looks like he’s wearing that ish to the gym. Are those sweat stains? Better bring a towel son.
a small world is what we all wish the facebook would be, what it used to be when it was exclusive to uni students…

i know it’s culturally insensitive and made all the worse because i don’t speak enough japanese to even put two words together in sequence much less come up with the strange, mystic sayings that are found on everything from t shirts to rubbish bins to massive billboards…but damnit if engrish isn’t one of the best things about japan
seriously, what the fuck
i have no idea…
engrish philosophy
more to come…
I don’t know if anyone’s been through Turntable Lab recently or recieves the emial updates but they’ve added a major new feature to the site that I think is nothing short of changing the music business. They now offer mp3 downloads of all those hard-to-find non-itunes bangers. They’re building their catalogue; not everything is offered yet but what they have is dope. They offer mp3s in high quality 320 kps mp3 or full uncompressed wav files with the idea that people who frequent the lab play the music they buy out. The high quality of the files means that no longer do DJs have to scour bit torrent and other sketchy sites downloading files of dubious origins for the latest music or wait for shipping on traditional 12″s. The files are even totally unprotected so you can play them anywhere, put them on cds, your ipod touch or where ever.
They recently put out Ed Banger Records vol. 1 as a digital only release…. straight fire. One of may favorite new disco/Ed Banger heaters below:
