In honor of opening day let us take a look back at former major league pitcher Dock Ellis. Dock's career spanned the years 1968-1979, he played for 5 teams (including both NY teams), had 138 career victories, won comeback player of the year in 1976 and most impressively threw a no hitter against the Padres on June 12, 1970 while "tripping balls".
docke.gif
Here's what Dock had to say about his LSD induced hitless victory:
"I can only remember bits and pieces of the game. I was psyched. I had a feeling of euphoria. I was zeroed in on the (catcher's) glove, but I didn't hit the glove too much. I remember hitting a couple of batters and the bases were loaded two or three times. The ball was small sometimes, the ball was large sometimes, sometimes I saw the catcher, sometimes I didn't. Sometimes I tried to stare the hitter down and throw while I was looking at him. I chewed my gum until it turned to powder. They say I had about three to four fielding chances. I remember diving out of the way of a ball I thought was a line drive. I jumped, but the ball wasn't hit hard and never reached me."

there's gonna be some crazy special guests that we can't announce
(on top of Santogold, Spank Rock, and DTL)....
for the flyer check previous post.

also,
word on the street is that the TTL room at last night's Wish You Were Here Party was the best thing in WMC thus far... jemz, woodman, llloyd, mike B, and eli going 1 for 1 disco records, then ending the night 95 style with classic hip-hop? Jemz is a jugganaut.

So normally, when I'm not at The Annex, or on the injured reserve bench of life, I'm out sauntering through the city. Today was no different, and guess who I wind up bumping into, shooting for a new Fendi campaign, down on the Old Fulton Street pier?

Freakin' none other than the Daft Punk of the fashion world himself, Karl Lagerfeld. You know, Mr. Chanel, blah blah, mysterious weirdo with the classic white hair, black shades, and OJ gloves.

Anyway, after watching the shoot for about 15 minutes, peeping the official wine-glass-holding assistant, the countless do-nothing "gophers," and Mr. Lagerfeld in all his glory, I couldn't help but to conlude that. . .

"Damn, some people get paid f*ckloads of $$$ for doing absolutely nothing!"

Leave it to your boy Cosmo to come up with the new series to keep you straight in these crazy times of politics, parallel universes, hotdogs and whatnot. He told me and C'mish he was gonna write some shit up, but I had no idea how thorough it would be - so next level! so anyway, without further ado -- here is the debut edition of
cosmo-rmotw.jpg
What's good, people? It's your boy Cosmo Baker coming back to drop a gem on you with this new series called "Role Model Of The Week." You know, this is a wild and crazy world that we all live in, and things sure do seem to get rough and tough out there. It's kind of hard to figure out what the do, where to go, and how to act sometimes, especially for the seeds out there (who are the ones that need our guidance the most - they are the future.) So with the feature I'm just trying to shed some light on human beings, animals and other things that are doing it real big on the tip of the type of shit that you need to be getting your levels up on. Self-empowerment, internal realization, power of refinement, that's what we all should strive for ever day and passing these (and other) lessons off to the seeds is just one of the things that is my life's work. Just ask the dudes at The Lab - I'm always dropping knowledge when I come through on my monthly "enthusiasm workshops." My repertoire isn't limited to push-up reps or having breakdance clinics to Brass Construction.

So anyway let me talk about this week's role model: Dolph "Wrecking Shop" Lundgren.

First of all, I always thought this dude was a German, but he's not, he's Swedish. That's cool with me. Secondly he's a big motherfucker - I mean we all could see that when he played Ivan Drago and went up against Rocky. But on the real, let me get deep on this Dolph Lundgren tip for a second. I always thought that dude was just another big motherfucker that was supposed to be an Arnold clone. I'm gonna put it this way - Arnold may be the Governor of California but I don't think he's that bright. But when I went to do the knowledge on Dolph here I found all sorts of ill things about the boy. First of all, dude is a graduate of the prestigious Royal Institute Of Technology. After dude graduated he went and got a masters degree in chemical engineering from the University Of Sydney, after which he was awarded a motherfucking Fullbright Scholarship to M.I.T. Doing it fucking BIG.

But the thing is, Dolph decided that he had enough schooling and wanted to become an actor - and that decision was the right one because check it, he became one of the biggest and best of his generation. "Universal Soldier," "The Punisher," "Rocky 4" - the list goes on and on. I mean fucking for real, this dude IS HE-MAN.

Off screen dude is as ill as he was on screen too. He was in the Swedish equivalent of the Navy SEALS, so he'll fucking do some real damage. He's a black belt in Kyokushin Karate, and he not only was the captain of the Swedish Karate team but he won the European and Australian tournaments, as well as placing high in the world tournament. Dolph also was the Swedish team leader for the Olympic Games in his event, the Modern Pentathalon (which is a sport that he actively still promotes. That shit seems tough.) He gets in shape and does his physical fitness. Also THIS motherfucker speaks English, Swedish, French, German, Spanish, some Japanese and Italian. Illmatic.

PS: Dolph got a strange power over the ladies. It's interesting, don't know what that's about but I won't deny it.

So yeah, Dolph is no joke. Also peep game - dude went out with Grace Jones for a while which is a trip. I mean, you know, who knows, that's a look right there and all. So yeah, DOLPH LUNDGEN is this week's ROLE MODEL OF THE WEEK, which means that he's a dude who's LEVEL YOU WANT TO GET UP ON.

So tune in next week when I bring you the next installment of COSMO BAKER'S ROLE MODEL OF THE WEEK. Until then, stay focused and keep your levels correct. 100,000!

He's a good actor (but you know, USA #1!)

Struggle,

I had the distinct pleasure of eating at The Wiener's Circle when i was in Chicago for a wedding last year. I'm into the toppings, too. And the Chicagoans who took me there were really proud of it.
Gray's Papaya, NY's best in my opinion, is way more derelict. it's good when you're drunk/high/broke/not hanging out with girls.. .and combined with "tropical" fruit juice gives you some crucial gas.

all right peoples, just to clarify the world of encased meets for you. what i was showing you before was a pork sausage (similar to a brat or a polish). it is typically shorter than a hot dog (but props to the commish for the graphic). also i do enjoy an occasional NY dog while out visiting your fine city and don't want to open up a NY vs. CHI hot dog war, but for me it comes down to the toppings and a traditional chicago style hot dog does it every time for me.

and after reading the hooves and lips comment, it got me so hungry that i ran out to Hot Doug's to snag a traditional dog (which ive now nicknamed the trife dog (no relation to phife dawg)) so i could get a photo of it for yall.

doggy_dog.jpg

now a little history...

A Chicago-style hot dog is a steamed or boiled all-beef hot dog on a poppy seed bun, which originated in the U.S. city of Chicago, Illinois. The hot dog is topped with mustard, onion, sweet pickle relish (usually neon green), a dill pickle spear, tomato slices or wedges, sport peppers, and a dash of celery salt; but never ketchup. It is taboo to put ketchup on a Chicago hot dog; some hot dog stands don't even stock the condiment.

Many sources attribute the distinctive collection of toppings on a Chicago-style dog to the "Depression Sandwich" originated by Fluky's on historic Maxwell Street in 1929. Vienna Beef frankfurters, the most common brand served today, were first sold at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago.

Chicago-style hot dogs are boiled or steamed before adding the toppings. Less commonly, they're grilled and referred to as "chardogs." The typical dog weighs 1/8 pound and the most traditional type features a natural casing, providing a distinctive "snap" when bitten.

random03.21-cutcopy.jpg
i also went to check out Cut Copy, but at Mercury Lounge... they were pretty damn good. aside from the traditional instruments, they used one of those akai midi-pads to trigger all their samples. pretty awesome to see them re-create the songs from Bright Like Neon Love. "Zap Zap" was definitely the highlight of the night... that song is wicked live. oh, and the lead singer has one of the hardest head shake moves i've ever seen...

random03.21-sabo.jpg
went boarding with Sabo last week up at Hunter. dude is a major SHREDDER. it was one of the best times i've had snowboarding even though there wasn't much snow. when boarding with this dude, you're forced to push it to the limit. he also has good tang stories...

Buckner2.jpg
been re listening to this album lately, there's only a few cuts I like on there, this being one of them. But, if you are a Richard Buckner fan its worth checking out. There are lots of interesting facts about Buckner which have become somewhat household jokes around my place.
- He's been described as a recluse, a nomad, and a troubador.
- he'll fluctuate in weight and looks. in some pictures he looks like Jesus and some he looks like Cougar Melloncamp.
- Does a lot of touring absolutely solo (just him and his truck) and uses guitar effects very well (ebow, loops, etc) and carries them all in a red toolbox. (my roommate had a framed picture of just the red toolbox)
- If you ever start boxing, most of his songs can be used for training rounds. you punch at 130bpms for about 3 minutes.
- He's so obsessive about making music that he bought a Playstation for self help, to try to learn how to do something else. He never played the playstation.
- He doesn't talk (to the crowd) when he performs, not one word.
- He's notoriously cheap, (we think) when we met him he told us how after being dropped from MCA he records at home (on what sounds like a fostex 8 track) and told us how Merge "doesn't give advances" This is a shame cause I feel if he had access to a Neve board and some Neuman mics he could benefit from it greatly. Merge, give him an advance!
-and if you get the chance to see him solo (without the 6 parts 7)- do it, sometimes in the club everyone sits on the floor.

you can close another chapter on TURNT(L)ABLE relics.
from this moment on, all our audio samples for vinyl + cds play with our MP3 PLAYER!
... really!
now you can say:
"i've been down with the lab when they had Real Audio samples...."
damn.

this comes to you from the same great site that introduced search function in 2005!
(how many multi-million dollar ecommerce sites do you know that didn't have search for the first 6 years?)

tons more (less obvious) stuff coming.

Today is going to consist primarily of looking at SXSW pictures on the internet.

If, however, you need a distraction from that, my dude Dave over at Grain Edit has put up an exclusive mix and extensive graphic design feature / interview with yours truly.

SXSWORST...

Yo word up, if I never see another wristband, eat another piece of BBQ, go to another showcase, walk another mile in the sun, see another rock groupie, get sucker punched by another reality show star, fly South West or drink another Shiner I’M GOOD!!!

But since my new life-style is “Strictly Positive Irie Vibes!” I’m only gonna focus on the positive sides of Austin.

BLU JEMZ’S TOP 3 SWSW PERFORMANCES

(1) GASLAMP KILLER / OBEY at BARCELONA BAR

gaslamp_sxsw.jpg

There wasn’t a wack moment at this event. Everybody deystroyed it! Pube$, Wes Gully, Nosajthing (crazy!), Free The Robots and Shepard Feary. But when it was time for Gaslamp and Flying Lotus at the end of the night history was made. Yo Willie you gotta post that video!!! Give the world a taste of what Gina Turner calls “the Genius of our time.” Romes, you did it, the beats are bizack!!!

(2) CUT COPY at IHEARTCOMIX / MAD DECENT PARTY

cutcopy_sxsw.JPG

Yo WTF??? Why isn’t Cut Copy blowing up? People really prefer watching Justice barely use a CDJ than a real band like Cut Copy? Hands down my favorite group right now, live set, on a roof at dusk? “Hearts on fire I reach out to you tonight!” You can get the new Joakim remix for that single on their blog.

(3) SPINDRIFT at RED EYE FLY

spindrift_sxsw.jpg

Pube$ put me on to these guys from LA. Amazing shit!!! Couldn’t fit the whole band on the stage…


RUNNERS UP

Santo Gold wherever she played and Motorhead at the Scion show.

For real I wouldn’t have made it thru that shit without these people…

Part One

I almost have an album done. Here's an older snip I made back in Jan. Here.

Here's an older track I did in 2003 that's been sitting on my desktop. Here.

Part Two

How do you feel after having masturbated? How does it change the way you think and feel?

My libido temporarily ceases to exist and I don't care about the hot porn I was fapping to a second ago. Well, that's what happens half the time anyway. Sometimes I'm so horny that I recharge in half a second and I'm fapping again.

peteboxes3-1.jpg
this was a portrait of me drawn but an h'd-out woman. i was sitting on the steps of my nyu dorm, and she came up to us for money (quite regular back then). we had none to give, but she drew a picture of me anyway, and i was so touched i went upstairs and gave her all the food i wasn't eating in my dorm room. little did i know that junkies don't eat food.


peteboxes3-2.jpg
i totally don't remember keeping this. this was the first lab computer. we ran the company on this for almost 2 years. we had an ancient PC laptop to do ups shipping, but this did everything else. no USB (parallel ports, remember those?), floppy drive (iomega zip drives, remember those), 64MB of ram, etc...


peteboxes3-3.jpg
the boxes started taking a personal turn, but what the heck. these are my experimental photo class prints. i was in my "constructivist phase"... what a retard...


peteboxes3-4.jpg
in college, you get obsessed with shit... girls, music, art, whatever... i was obsessed with mowax singles, swiss design dudes that wore black turtle necks, girls with glasses, and things with no intrinsic meaning. like i said... what a retard.


peteboxes3-5.jpg
a box of bills and old paystubs... sweet.


peteboxes3-6.jpg
i was thumbing through, just so i wouldn't miss any randoms that got shuffled in there and i saw a christmas card with the present still in there... 6 large... what i find. i'm goin to sizzla!
