i thought the 100K note was diesel but... "Zimbabwe is to start circulating a new 200,000 Zimbabwe dollar note, in a bid to tackle the country's inflation, the highest in the world. The new note, issued by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe from Wednesday, can buy 1kg (2.2lb) of sugar. The new note is worth US$13 at the official exchange rate or $1 on the black market." what's the black market? is that where you find Indiana Jones?

Home Sweet Home added another speaker, we gave away two boxes of shirts and vinyl, the whole lab family showed up and the crowd was dedicated until past four and had to be ushered out. Huge shout to all those who came(you know who you are!). Superprops to Superfam's vinyl set, don't miss them at 205 Chrystie this Tues. Sabo The "Hahn-erable" Ph residing...

After seeing this shirt I finally feel like it's safe to move back to NYC...
Also finally got our Scion show up and running. The first show was even more out of control than any of my Authentic Shit episodes, with GASLAMP KILLER dropping a guest set and an hour long freestyle rap cipher from BLU, MESTIZO & SUBCON (if you haven't heard my only concern right now is bringing rap back). Check next month for the freestyle session with DJ ASSAULT .

I'm opening for Ghostface all week. It's kind of weird because I don't play any dirty south hip-hop, house, club, 80s or whatever else I'm used to playing, but I've been having fun with real schitt hip-hop and classic soul and reggae. It's pretty awesome getting a room full of backpackers to sing along to Gloria Jones "Tainted Love."
Ghost at Highline Ballroom in NY, photo by Ian Meyer (more pictures here).
Cappadonna kills it with those long breathless verses from Winter Wars and Daytona 500. When he's 48 bars in and still going the crowd just loses it.
Rhythm Roots Allstars unloading from the bus. These dudes kill it live, staying faithful to the original Ghostface instrumentals and freaking shit like Nautilus, No No No and La La Means I Love You. The old guy is our bus driver; he's normally the driver for Good Charlotte.
My bunk on the bus is the size of a coffin but has its own DVD / CD / radio player. Scion puts us up in four star hotels but we don't even sleep there. To get from St Louis to Minneapolis for example we had to leave at like 3 AM so the hotel was just a really expensive place to shower and change clothes after the show.
Mike the 2600 King showed me around Minneapolis and took me to the Burlesque Design studios. Wezz and Mike were printing MF Doom posters.
More tour dates here.

I'm actually rooting for them now. people were reported to be celebrating in the streets etc... good for them... however, some crazy Iraqis had to go ruin the celebration and ignite bombs in the celebrations... over 50 dead, over 150 hurt... i don't normally comment on political issues, but this is RUTHLESS and just fucked in general...

Quite a long weekend. It started Friday night at Studio B with Chromeo... the place was rammed packed and my attention was totally scattered between sweating too much, watching Dave and Pee kill it and waiting 20 mins to get a cocktail... I spaced on taking any picts, sorry. So we left after they were done and dipped to APT to catch up with Egypt. He brought the peripherals this time around, 808, vocoder. Here he is with my man Justin, as PH mentioned, who is setting that schedule board up real nice.
everyone's new favorite superstar came through. Quote of the day "you got to finesse the pinesse" – lloyd The owner of the spot had a little speed boat, and Jen convinced Doug, his wife Amy, Lloyd and myself to get on it. I thought it was gonna be a slow cruise around the Canal. I was mistaken.
We got on, and the captain, who was burning a huge spliff, turned around and told everyone to "hold on."
Of course, everyone fell over when he leaned on the gas... except his kid, who wasn't sweatin a damn thing. Lloyd almost spilt his beer. Swear to god, we all thought we were gonna die. He was racing around the canals like a speeder bike on the Forest Moon of Endor. I nearly went overboard about 6 times and came close to losing my head twice on low overpasses.
We made it out to the harbor where it was mellow...
...and here's an extremely gay pict of Doug and myself.
The Captain was hilarious! Aside from almost killing us, we got stuck in the harbor. He managed to jimmy the engine back on with a little duct tape and pouring some beer into the carborator. Always laughing, he was...
...and the Pulitzer Prize Winning shot of the afternoon.

I had the rare opportunity to see the one and only Prince perform at Minneapolis' First Avenue last night. After playing at Macy's for his perfume release party (file under: get on my level) and then at the Target Center (home of the T'wolves), the purple one headed across the street to the 1600 person capacity venue featured in "Purple Rain" to play a last minute afterparty. It was his first time playing First Avenue in about 20 years and everyone was beyond stoked. People were camped out for a solid day or so waiting for tickets, but here's how I got mine: (phone call #1) (phone call #2) (phone call #3) Got in and waited for one hour while the crew set up on stage. We were 8 rows back. First Ave was getting really uncomfortably packed and it was dumb hot in there, but Prince's DJ was kinda really killin' it. He finally took the stage at 2:45AM and went right into "3121." Sorry for the crappy photos - all I had was my cell phone camera.
So right around 3:30, some guy who looked like the Monopoly guy tugged on Sheila E's sleeve from the side of the stage, which I guess was the cue to stop the show. No "Let's Go Crazy," no "When Doves Cry," no "Erotic City," no "I Wanna Be Your Lover," and no "Purple Rain," but it was still some shit for the history books.

Tokyo is the largest city of the world, yet it works like a Swiss village. It is the city of future with earthquake-proof fancy architecture, yet as soon as you get lost in the small residential streets you see shack-like housing. Tokyo is a fascinating animal. Residential development was largely left to local actors after the war (when Tokyo was flattened by US firebombs). The government focused instead on infrastructure development (roads, rails, water, electricity). As a result Tokyo grew incrementally from being a giant slum to being the hyper-modern city it is today. These are some shots from downtown Tokyo. I love this slum-type architecture which requires constant care and upgrading from the residents. Tokyo is very much an organic city, not a city that was planned from the top-down. And that's what makes it so great. More pictures and text in my blog.
This is the type of things that you cannot find in guides, because to see it you have to get lost. However, if you are in Tokyo for a few days and are looking for an alternative to Lonely Planet, you can check out this guide I made. And if you are interested in seeing some fancy, high-end architecture in Tokyo you can download this architectural guide I complied recently.

so i met luciano at a Times Square bar of all places to watch Argentina v. Columbia. after my 10+ years here, that's the first time I've ever been to a bar in Times Square... for people who visit the city... stay away from Times Square, highly overrated and now it's as ny as Sbarros... as for the game, it was a much better than i expected, with the Lazy Magician (best sports nickname ever?) scoring two goals... afterwards, we checked out his new office, and then I headed home... i decided to walk a little...
i think until the day I die, I'll will always look out for cool skate spots (even tho I don't skate anymore)... the infamous Sparks steakhouse... one of the city's finest, but known in Mob culture as the place where Gambino mafia boss Paul Castellano was gunned down at the orders of John Gotti... only in ny, does a place stay open and thrive after something like that... nothing like hittin greens all the way home...
