Oooops.

Some MIT kids tried to organize a time traveler's convention last year, but nobody showed up. I think they only advertised it by putting fliers in a bunch of classic books in various libraries, which might have been the problem. They probably should have carved invitations in stone slabs and left them all around the world. It was still a cool idea though.

Does anyone know if Joe Beats produced anything on his new album? That dude makes some ILL instrumentals.

yes please mugshot

I've been fucking around with a couple of one-steps and a presto just like those for the past couple of weeks, and I was finding that everything was coming out too light, even with the meter set as dark as it would go (I'm shooting on 779 instead of sx-70). i popped the lens out of a broken pair of sunglasses, and have been shooting through that, which is yielding some really interesting results. Those are really fun cameras.

I love to get drunk. It can be like a channel zero party!

It's an alcoholic drink with a ridiculous name, and I like to drink alcohol and then go write my ridiculous name on walls.

Yeah, much more satisfying that way.

When I graduated from high school, I went up on the stage, took my diploma, and then ran over to the podium and yelled "************ high school football rules!" They tried to not let me graduate, and I heard that about three quarters of the football team wanted to kick my ass 'cuz they thought i was making fun of them. Idiots.

Wow. I AM a vinyl geek, and I will agree that that is a superb find. And those flyers!? That shit is HOT.

If a girl is sexy anyways, I don't think that pregnancy neccesarily makes her less so. And if she's not sexy, getting pregnant will certainly not make her more so. I've definitely seen some pregnant girls that were really hot, and in fact maybe were made somehow hotter by the basketball. But I thought I was just some kind of pervert.

Anyway, sorry for the tangent. Here is my very incomplete list of my favorite funk 45's I've picked up over the years: Isleys- Fight the power, it's your thing Otis and Carla- Tramp William DeVaughn- be thankful for what you got (I guess this is more soul than funk, but what are you gonna do? Wilson Pickett- Hey Jude Shirley Ellis- The Clapping Song, The Nitty Gritty (Gladys Knight and the Pips also have a surprisingly funky version of the Nitty Gritty) Rufus Thomas- Do the funky Penguin Herbie Hancock- chameleon Bad Medicine- Trespasser, parts one and two Edwin Starr- Stop the war Jimmy McGriff- the worm The Soul Searchers- funk to the folks Fabulous Counts- lunar funk Curtis Mayfield- future shock This is gonna sound ridiculous, but Tom Jones- lookin' out my window. Seriously. Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings- this land is your land Alvin Cash- twine time Harrel and Sharon Luckey- Peas Porridge The Bar-Kays- Sang and dance And as for favorites that I don't yet have, but would love to purchase or trade for (hint, hint) Bob Azzam- rain, rain, go away Les Demerle- a day in the life The Honeydrippers- impeach the president Les Baxter- hoggin' machine Sly and The Family Stone- Family Affair

Brainfreeze is definitely in my top five albums of all time. That record is what really put me on to the funk, and doomed me to a life of dusty fingers and getting yelled at by my girl for having stacks of 45s everywhere. Cut and Shadow had another one, Product Placement, which I saw them do live at the Filmore in SF in like 2001... that probably makes my top five live shows of all time as well. For the record, DJ shadow has probably the biggest record collection in the world. I have a friend that used to roll with him in high school, and he said Shadow had pretty much filled his parent's garage with vinyl by that time. In the Product Placement DVD, there's a part where he and Cut Chemist are making a huge trade with some Japanese cats in a hotel room. Cut is trading the "Music Man" 45 (5,000 ever made, and he had two or three of them) that he sampled for Concrete Schoolyard, among lots of others, and he says "this is probably the biggest trade I've ever made." Shadow replies, "Yeah, this is probably the second biggest I've made this year." That's baller.

Sucked?! What are you talking about? That fireworks display after the Mets game was incredible, that surf rock band at the first party was great, and taping that M-80 and a disposable video camera to an old skateboard was the best idea ever. Plus, when ******* put that bottle rocket with the stick broken off in Jay's pocket at the third party, I nearly pissed my pants. That was hysterical. Yeah, it sucked when that one firecracker hit me in the neck and totally fucked up my picture, but that wasn't even a big deal 'cuz when I fell off the dock, I landed in a canoe. Then when the cops came to that fifth party, I just walked out the back door and over to the bar across the street, where it turned out that I had DJed the bartender's wedding and she gave me free whiskey all night. You're crazy, the Fourth of July rocked.

Yeah, my sources indicated that it was a bowling alley. This makes way more sense. I remember seeing this place in that David Spade movie where he kidnaps his hot neighbor's dog. On what is apparently an unrelated note, does anyone know if they finally tore down the Hollywood Star Lanes? It's the alley where they filmed the Big Lebowski. I remember after that movie came out, they had to take down the neon stars from the side of the building 'cuz Dude wannabes kept trying to steal them.

Tonight at 8 pm, the LA philharmonic is performing a set of old Nintendo game theme songs. Seriously. Hollywood bowl, 2301 N. Highland ave, in Hollywood of course. While not quite as cool as drinking caucasians with Gary at Hollywood Star Lanes, it is enough to make me wish I was in LA.

That's funny. When I moved in with my girl, the milk crates full of records were the first thing that had to go. Now my vinyl resides in a massive wall unit that I had to build myself...why doesn't anybody outside of the dairy industry make record storage anymore?

I bet he does... that son of a bitch. *Okay, that pretty much clinches it. I'm going to Hell for that one.

It's wierd reaching that age... I used to like having my shit spread out everywhere, but now I too have gone minimalist. Throwing out all the crap, building shelves for what's left, etc. Moving in with my girl helped a lot. I guess you could say I've acquired a taste for those Ikea cinnamon buns myself.

The time was 2001, the place was some legal wall that already sucked at that point, and the dude was some local toy that then proceeded to blow up and become a hometown hero. *****: Oh, yeah, I've seen your shit on the 12 ounce prophet website. Me: 12 Ounce has a website?!? *****: Yeah, it's awesome. Do you have any caps? I then proceeded to lurk in the yard for about 5 years, until I checked out Ch. 0 and decided I needed to register. *Edit because putting a colon in front of a lower case "o" apparently makes a smiley.

Heavy, you haven't seen my camera have you? I don't think we've met, but it's not that big a state... would you mind taking a look around for me?

Some weird shit... someone told me about this commercial like a week ago, but I hadn't seen it...then, just now, while reading this thread, it came on during Cosby reruns. Crazy. There's an ill break at the beginning of "Things I Used To Do" that I've sampled a couple of times, but everything they've done since the millennium has, in my humble opinion, sucked nuts.

Nah, I'm just kidding. Kuala Lumpur.

Fuck off, rookie.
