Last night I was pissed Melo didn't get the call. Rondo fouled him for sure. But after seeing this screen shot, it seems like maybe they deserved to loose. "HEY I'M OPEN!!!! RIGHT UNDER THE FUCKING BASKET!!!"

Nice vision, Melo pic.twitter.com/oOuAloUM6F

Matt

Rewatched this one. Holds up.

SERAPHIN IS MVP

I LIKE THIS BAND

I haven't seen them play in maybe two years, but I'm in their corner for sure. One time I saw them at the same building I have a studio in. Maybe they practice there too.

CALLING IT

Rookie of the year. It's over.

COPY CATS

I guess it's been going on for years but it just came to my attention that there's a bootleg guitar effects pedal market.

Chinese manufacturers are copying the circuits of popular pedals, rebranding them, and selling them for a fraction the price.

Let's take a look at some examples. The real thing on the left, the Canal Street version on the right.

RECORD REVIEW

Lebron said it all.

FILM REVIEW

'Superstars in Concert' Mostly really cool stuff here. Ike and Tina are probably the best part. There's also some bad stuff, but you can heat up leftovers or check your email during those parts.

It's come out in Japan on laserdisc, bootlegged in Malaysia and used for promotional use, but now it's been uploaded to metacafe with only 3,000 views. VERY RARE. If you got a joint and an hour and a half to spare, you should check it out.

Superstars in Concert - Amazing videos are here

SK8 UPD8

Look at this guy! Look at these Labor Boards!!!



These 5boro decks are cool. Steve Rodriguez was at Rippers the other day. Very polite. Nice guy. Fred Gall came in earlier, same.



TOO EXTREME BONUS!!!

PARTY

BEST BAND

JUST FOUND THESE ON YOUTUBE!!!





Did I post this yet? I can't remember.



I think the audience of this website is familiar with this, but i got to put it in to make the post complete.

'15 VIBES

My boy Eugene introduced me to William Onyeabor the other night. His stuff is pretty wild. And damn these songs are LOOOONNNNGGG!!!



Although he challenges my attention span there's still something to it.

Onyeabor is from Nigeria. He has always avoided interviews and not much is known about him. He even claims to have never played live. He put out 8 records between '77 and '85 and then quit music to spend more time going to church and taking care of business.

His business ventures have done well since his music career. In Enugu, Nigeria he's got his own flour mill, gas station and internet cafe. Our guy is makin' money and lives in a sick mansion!!!

David Byrne recently reissued his records causing the resale of original pressings to sky rocket. One of his records (Body & Soul) goes for $650 online. I hope he kept a couple copies.

UNDER THE RADAR

I was trying to get my blurb on for these Paulette Williams jams but there's no information about her on the Internet.

She's from Jamaica and has some songs on some Trojan Records Comps. That's all I got.

LOLZ

I loved this movie. It has a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Filmed mostly on E11th St.

NEW TO ME

The Lijadu Sisters are identical twins from Nigeria. They were mostly active between 1969 - 1979. They combined Soul, Disco, Psych and whatever wacky African shit they were into. I'm not gonna pretend I know what that stuff is.

In Nigeria at the time most songs were about Allah and folk lore that was even older than the Quran. They messed up peoples shit by writing songs about love, dancing and occasionally about how they didn't like what was going on in their neighborhood... and also just by being female entertainers, which wasn't really a thing there yet.

In 1972 they played the Olympics in Munich. In '76 they got a deal with Decca. One deals where you're set up to owe the label money for the rest of your life. Not too classy for a company that's put out every big British act from The Stones to Morrissey.

In 1984 a compilation of outtakes ironically got them exposure in the US and they moved to, you guessed it, Brooklyn. The New York Times called them "a West African parallel to the Pointer Sisters" which is the most New York Times thing ever. Does this really sound like 'I'm So Excited' to you, you deaf fuck? I'm going to post some Lijadu Sisters and I'll put throw in a Pointer Sisters song too. Lets see if you can tell the difference.

GOOD JOB

Love these new Bucks uniforms. I think I'll be jumping on the bandwagon as soon as it stops by. I 'think' that is. Around this time last year I thought I was gonna be a big Hornets fan. "LANCE IS THE MISSING PIECE."

Speaking of Lance and new uniforms, have you seen what the Clippers are doing?



Yikes!

INTERMISSION

I'm gonna post some more Puerto Rico stuff but I got to take a moment to address GMK!!!



Sick vid. 400th post.

MUSICA

I know you're wondering what we were rocking in San Juan.

ANOTHER ANGLE

SAN JUAN Y SAN MATEO

THESE GUYS....

Well, the NBA lottery happened and the Knicks didn't luck out like I hoped they would.

They're out of the running for Karl Towns, who I would've liked to see them draft.

Trying to stay optimistic, I tried to look at who else they might be able to pick.

Well, I really think they should a good defensive center. A guy who can fill the Tyson Chandler role.

You can sign a point guard at 30 years old and they'll still produce. A big guy at 30 usually has some sort of leg injury.  Human bones and tissue aren't really supposed to support 300lbs running full speed every day. You got to get these guys when they're young.

Let me see....

Cauley Stein from what I've been reading here seems to be a great defensive player. He's 7 feet tall with long arms to protect the rim, and he's athletic enough to roll to the rim. Sounds good to me. He's our guy. We can draft him straight up, or even trade down in the draft and maybe pick up a second rounder or two and still pick him up. OH WHAT'S THAT??!?!?!?!

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU FUCKING GUYS FUCKING DOING?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!??!!??!?!?!?!?

GETTING CRITICAL

The realest most raw skating I've seen, 20 seconds in.


So raw. I have a sneak peak of the new Thrasher cover.

HEHEHE

I saw this athletic feat in real life. It was delightful.

I SEE YOU

The Grizzlies have been killing it. The team is good and all, but I'm actually talking about who ever is in charge of entertaining the fans during time outs.

Heard about the Bongo Cam on the Rose Report. Genius.



If you weren't aware the Grizzlies are playing the Blazers in the playoffs right now. What better way to get the crowd fired up, than having your Mascot body slam a fake mascot of the opposing team?

OH VERY NICE!!!

MORE GOLD

Recorded with Eric and Dan from Atlantic Thrills this weekend. Here's a video to set the scene. Definitely a different vibe than the studio from the other week. That's Ty recording vocals in the other room.

GOLD RECORDS

Recorded at a super pro studio in NYU. At first we were upset when we found out we couldn't drink at the studio, then we found out there was over $100k worth of equipment and then realized that was probably a good call. We're trying to do 3 songs here. The process there is much more involved than doing 10 songs in 2 days like we did last time, it might take a couple months to finish them.

NEW 2 ME

French Actress turned musician. She got some good ones.

NOSTALGIA

Let's look back on that magical(by Knicks standards)2010 season


Amare averaged 25 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks a game while somehow hitting over 40% of his 3s.

Then in typical Knicks fashion he broke one of his knees, got surgery, rehabbed, broke his other knee and then punched a fire hydrant and broke his hand during the playoffs.

I am happy to say though, I caught a game with my buds where he scored 41 points (Knicks still lost though. Duh.)
With Amare gone and Carmelo getting knee surgery himself, you know what that means.....



IT'S PABLO'S TEAM NOW!!!!

(And he might get traded by tomorrow)

JAMZ

Who ever wad DJing at the Goodwill on Fulton was killing it.

BIG SHOUT

It dawned on me the other day that Gwen Stefani is kind of the shit.

She might not be the most consistent but she's been at it for over 20 years now and I don't see anything wrong with someone putting out a good chart topper every 2 or 3 years for that long.

I was about to say she's underrated but then I just found out she's worth 80 million dollars... so I guess she's properly rated.
I also liked her 1996 "I got money now so I'm going to the dentist" look.



By the way, this sweat shirt is a thing.



As New York parties seemingly have blown through 10 years of 90's nostalgia in 18 months I'm expecting to hear a lot of early 00's Gwen when I go out in the near future. Can't wait.

LOOK AT THIS SHIRT

SNOW DAY TUNEZ

ANOTHER SONG I LIKE

Pretty late on these two dudes from LA... can't believe I like a band called Foxygen.
If I was in the mix I'd be like let's make it "Foxy Jen"

MISS U

Been a fun 3 years watchin you guys running and jumping.
