this week’s TbTotW. other than this track having a hard as hell beat, the video is unreal. i’ve never seen a hiphop vid like this, and i doubt i will – it’s probably one of my favorite music vids evah evah. what happened to rah digga? female mc’s in general?
i’ve sent off my (late) summer mixtape to sunny hawaii, care of my in4mation brosephs justin and zen. 808s check out the ward or lewers stores to see if they got it in stock! i gave em hella stickers too so ask for a couple! and not to fret yall that are not so lucky to live in hawaii, i’ll sell some here off the site. i just need to cop some more blanks and get to burnin.
been in a mix funk lately, but the past few days i’ve been getting some more ideas. stay tuned. (i was told my mailing list shit on the right side is not functioning.. i’ll also fix that once i get some time – shit i’m hittin up the wordpress from work! multitask like what what)
+ sometime in august a wired writer tried to ‘vanish’ and start a new identity, but challenged readers to find him – obviously he was found, and the ‘how’ is a pretty cool story. but i’m more interested in his notion of vanishing, it’s something i’ve had daydreams of. the whole process of assimilating yourself into a new location – not necessarily to avoid people but to just live a whole different life for a little bit. like, what if you move out to a middle of nowhere spot, like a small rest stop kind of community off the 10 somewhere in arizona or texas, and just find a job working at a gas station there, or a restaurant, or something else? just live off of that and have no other aspiration. i just want to observe that kind of life.
+ from a cupcake news piece on npr, i heard about warren buffet‘s 3 i’s, a pretty universal ethos that i can easily adapt to design. of course after that, you’re left thinking which i you want to live up to, and while many strive to be innovators, i think for the most part there are much more of the latter two, both of which have no real positive connotation. i’m content labeling myself an imitator – the sincerest form of flattery!
+ cool collection of disposable vinyls and other antique vinyl ephemera. the cool part in this video was him explaining the public recording booths that would spit out vinyls, meant to be given as gifts or mailed as messages, dude how cool is that? photo booths are still definitely around but it seems like this idea got scrapped way early, so much so that i’d never heard of it till now. what an awesome concept though.
who doesn’t consider this sir
