My Staff is Larger Than Yours

The RE:UP step-by-step tutorial about achieving true Wizard status:

“I can see your heart beating through your t-shirt”

Don’t you feel just a little bit dumber after watching that? Holy shit, ME TOO!
Is it just me or is today’s youth/culture contributing to the decline of western civilization moreso than any other previous generation? I mean, let’s think about it- the 50’s were greasy, 60’s hippy, 70’s sleazy, 80’s new-wavey, 90’s rave-y, and the […]

“How could I NOT include Soulja Boy?”

Our good old friend Kip from the Dark Side once lived in the 619 but moved back to Pittsburgh to have a house and baby and all that fun stuff. He’s still getting us privy to locale music & folk in his hood, the latest which is a party rocker known as ‘Girl Talk’. Mash-up […]

“Amy’s covered in nicotine patches and eating like a horse,” reveals Winehouse’s father

Thanks, dad. No wonder your daughter is a homeless rock smoker. That quote, from Mitch Winehouse, reminds me of the time my wife and I went to dinner at our favorite restaurant. We both ordered up two big plates of pasta, I blinked and it was like BLAMMO: all her food was gone. My knee […]

Lil Wayne: America’s Hope

The New York Times recently wrote a review on Lil Wayne’s new album Tha Carter III. And a good friend pointed out, “I read the favorable review in today’s Times. By the way, that is some of the silliest shit ever: the Times prints these verbose, academic, overwrought fucking reviews of hip-hop records… Fuck off! […]

The Most Ripped Off Print…

It’s one thing seeing a Nike swoosh or a McDonalds arch–maybe because we’ve become so accustomed to them being everywhere–but a Louis Vuitton bulletin board? In Bangalore, India? We could go off on a social diatribe here, throw around a few loaded words like globalization and homogenization, and quote Thomas L. Friedman. But then, we aren’t […]

Congrats Santogold

Congratulations to Ms. Santi White also known as Santogold (RE:UP 15) for getting her cash-in-on. We heard her track “Creator” last night while watching Memphis run it up on UCLA in this year’s Final Four. “Creator” was the background song for a new Miller Light advertisement, thus proving that America’s finest beverage company intends to […]

WMC Cool Down

My 2008 WMC experience this year was one of last minuteness, sunburn and waaaay too much Armani Exchange and French dance music. Albeit, Surkin definitely gets the hat’s off in my book, not only does he kill an Ableton set, he looked like he was about 17. In fact, no one really came close […]

End of The Wire

So i pretty much had the same experience as the Sports Guy Bill Simmons (go to item #19) in becoming obsessed with this show. Don’t even own a TV and managed to watch all the episodes on demand this final season. Here’s a great interview with creater David Simon
if anyone cares, my favorite 5 characters […]

The Lost Boys 2: Where’s Capello’s Sax?!

After seeing this trailer toThe Lost Boys - The Tribe, we’ve already uncovered 3 unsettling reasons to wait for the DVD:1) Frog returns2) Star does not return3) Sax player, Tim Capello (no relation to Kenneth), was not asked to participate in the theme song:
