I’ve never seen this lady’s show before, but this interview is hilarious. Watch it. The rubber band man gets it.

Space Invader: Binary Codes Street Art

Brendan Bennett — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 21:44:04 +0000

Space Invader as you may know him, is a street artist out of France, he creates his space invader characters as well as other video game characters in his signature style, constructed of tiles made to look like pixels. His street work can be seen in over 40 different countries and he has now started “Invading” the gallery scene with his indoor works. In this video he explains his new binary code street art. He is stepping up the street art game by incorporating his lo-tech ceramic tile work with high-tech binary code technology. He creates binary codes in black and white ceramic tiles and with an i-phone application called i-matrix (or BeeTag) you can translate the hidden messages in his new works. Check the video for the full break down.

THE Worst

Not only is E-40 the worst rapper ever, he makes songs about the worst things, although kind of funny.

Sexy People is “A celebration of the Perfect Portrait”. It’s a collection of portraits from yesteryear, each one of which is amazing. Have a looksee when you have some time.

G-Dep - Stay Up

G-Dep is straight crack. I love Child of the Ghetto and now I love this new joint. I have actually listened to it about 30 times in the last day. I just really like it. Check it out on Nahright.

Step Your Fade Game Up

Mike over at Hecklewood came across this blasted out joints while calling out Sufu with these old 66LVCs. There are something serious. I think they are more like art than something I’d want to wear. Put them up in a custom wood frame by Matt Jensen and we’re talking.

De La Soul

Ryan Willms — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 08:18:14 +0000

I just sat at my computer and worked on school and the new issue for the last 7 hours. I pretty much forgot to eat dinner, haven’t excersized in days, and really wished I could get a tan from my computer monitor. For some reason I put on De La Soul, starting with Bitties in the BK lounge. For some reason I love that track, and I just kept listening. I went through about 6 hours of De la tonight. It was awesome. I don’t even know why they are good, they aren’t very good rappers and they have a weird sense of humor. The classic ‘back pack’ raps and appearances by Q Tip, Black Sheep, and Jungle Brothers keep things particularly interesting as the easy listening reaches it’s peak. De La is one of those rap groups that it can actually be hard to tell what decade their music is from. What I can tell though is it’s just good for some reason.

Flight Club Drawings

o.p. — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 19:10:33 +0000

Flight Club recently tweaked the welcome page on their website. Instead of just the old boring FC logo, there’s now a collection of amazing illustrations each time the page loads. It’s a series of animal adaptations of famous basketball players. Shown is Kobe in Viper form. Hit the link for LeBron the Lion, Barkley the Rhino, MJ the Panther, Rodman the Hyena and the ironic KG Timberwolf. Big ups to whoever drew them, but where’s the Manute Bol praying mantis? or the Dan Majerle pony?

America Votes 2008

The Republican convention is going on right now and the Democrats wrapped theirs up last week. November’s election is sure to be a doozler just like this poster. Typeface the 20’s and 30’s was amazing was it not? The “Tag-team Shaved Head Match” looks like a beauty. Thank you to whoever made this.

p.s. Sure he’s a better candidate than Geriatric Johnny but can we please get a moratorium on Barack Obama t-shirts.

Vegas Re-Cap from my office

Ryan Willms — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 10:00:14 +0000

Well, we missed out on the Las Vegas festivities this year. Quite upset, but we had to keep it moving from the homeland. I’d say the best highlights were Michael from ACL’s photos of random guys, Supernatural’s freestyle and finding out that sweat bands, bucket hats, and batting gloves are still cool in hip hop.
