dude, rakin in the dough already has its own 12" that was on polygram. it has the uptown bounce mix and the church ave mix, plus some other junk. holler if you want me to rip those up for you. gina, good looks on the gift idea.. made em "weak" you can't really tell from the picture but this little adventerous shit was sporting thee hardest rat-tail any korean kid has ever rocked [that i've ever seen], this side of the east sea. with all the chaos that was o'hare international during the holidays, this kid kept it pretty casual. shout out to my aunt karen who was actually working that flight to seoul. never would have seen little dude if she hadn't been there the same time i was. what are the odds? cmish, we gotta "build more than them workers on construction sites." i got some ideas up my sleeve so get jay. and sabo, i think you, kiko, and me are all on the same plane about doing that up soon so let's do dat [do dat, doo doo, dat dat dat]. elle, how's that facebook coming along? and ladies, this is not a total "dood blog.." we need more girls at [house] parties that make selections like this when you let them go through some records. where are they at on here? just sayin...

It's funny to see everyone getting all riled up on some flyer shit. At least things aren't like they were back in the day. I used to dj at the club and come back later and there would be 20 book cover sized, UV coated, placemat flyers on my windshield, looking like this...

All wackness aside, winter in NYC is pretty magical. It's pretty brick outside, but it makes all the shit you took for granted in the summertime the best things known to man: hot food, wool socks, laying in bed with your girl, etc. I'm actually loving it right now. Some of these new looks from 10 Deep, might even have your pops wanting to borrow your gear. Also, huge thank you Stereo for the nod to Steve Martin. Personal childhood hero. Suck UK finally looks out for us smokers. Here some ill backpacks for everyday use or for the DJ on the go. Crooks & Castles Lastly, Vestax makes DJ'ing as accessible as ever.

Party flyers are so disposable now. You see the same one over and over again on emails, blogs, sites, sometimes even printed out (even though 90% of the flyers I see are online and aren't for events in my city), until you're seeing the image in your sleep. They're farted out with little effort, drenched in logos that nobody cares about, and can someone please explain the HOSTED BY (INSERT 50 NAMES) phenomenon please? Then once the show is over, you'll never see the flyer again. Compare that to the legendary screenprinted 1967 Fillmore posters or the hand-assembled fantastic romantic disco rapp flyers of the early 1980s. Just like Dust was saying, flyer design used to be a huge priority for me back when I was a starving designer and had no choice. I still like to do them if they're for longtime repeat customers, events I'm throwing or am DJing at, for parties I'm down with in general, for someone I've been really wanting to work with, or if I can come up with an interesting concept. It's still a great feeling to walk down the street and see something you designed posted up in a store window. I'll dig through some stacks of really old ones at home, but here are a few oldies I've found online...

good to hear from flyer guru dust. he brings up some good points about flyer design. but that was also a different era as p-love points out. one of the greatest feelings in the world as a young designer is seeing your shit get printed. so when those flyers came out, my heart would rush, then i would inevitably get so pissed that the orange was too dark or something. i miss those feelings. my last point (who really cares?), is that cause shit isn't getting printed, it's definitely a different game. when you know it's getting printed and someone asks you to design it, you should take it as honor. someone is asking you do something cause they like your work and are willing to put a couple hundo down to get em printed. jpegs... not so much.

I don't really like to speak on, nor do I enjoy most of my past work but since two of my flyers may be or def are contributors to this discussion I feel the need to pontificate. That said.. FUCK FLYERS. I used to bleed, sweat and spend HOURS on them. That's because of two reasons.. 1. I was a hungry designer, had something to prove and still do. To this day I still have people tell me that they have such and such flyer on their wall or that it's their favorite shit of mine. Really? WTF.. What about the rest of the non-flyer work I've done over the years? Aside from my record label, there's only two people I'll still do flyer work for. Justine D, and my homie Vin Sol. Why? Because they let me do what I want. Almost.. Case study time! Below is the original verison of the NYE flyer Adrian posted in one of his earlier bloggins.
Justine didn't like the "green goblin" and understandably so felt it didn't represent the vibe of the party. In retrospect she was totally right and I really dig the cleanliness of the final version on some old 50's Paul Rand/Hans Schleger vibe. And no I'm not comparing myself nor were they referenced. Next up is a flyer I did for a party Vin threw this past August. You'll notice I used the same little devil (he is my mascot) and a few of the components but to much greater effect.
The purpose of this post was not to toot my own horn or namedrop, moreso to show a little bit of the process behind my work. Hopefully I've accomplished that. On a sidenote, nuff respect to P-Love and his cross promotion of Josef Muller-Brockmann but that book has been sitting in my library virtually unopened since the day I purchased it. The work in it is too good to be referenced for the completely disposable subject matter at hand. Lastly everybody, sometimes you just gotta fight flyer with flyer ya know? Ba-dum-dum-tschhhh.. PS. I'd like to hear Cody weigh in on this subject. Not only is he a good friend but as we all know an amazing designer and artist. I saw his Drop Bass flyers long before I ever met him. Same for you Mr. 2600 King. Drop it like it's hot. PPS. Roc, I'm dying to hear/see what you come up w/ to shut this whole thread down.

How about some not-so-sneaky cross-promo like "no posting flyers on blogs until you've read some of this". Sure, word of mouth/blog is the best way to draw a crowd, but i think pete may be touching on another issue here: At least change the dimensions, do away with sponsor logos (at least the ones who are only paying for flyer costs), or something. Change one freakin' color. And since Jemz was on some Muppet shit, here's a segué: Michna - power supplies on G3 and G4 towers are the first to go. Holler if you need one. Hopefully it's not the logic board. Merry Everything!

We can't afford to loose one New Era hat wearing, DJ Ayers mix downloading, Fool's Gold blog checking, Hollertronix deity praying, weird Asian porno masterbating, Mark Ronson mocking, Steve Aoki envying, AM biting, Spank Rock bothering, Amanda Blank proposing, Justice remixing, Funk Flex hating, Jazzy Jeff still secretly jocking, Scion driving, no idea how dope Snack N C'mish are, Michna skipping, Egg Foo missing, Elle MySpace stalking, Neil Nice hard selling, Roc sucking off, wondering what Tony's wearing, Staccato wheel squeaking, Sabo style Latin loving, still sleeping on Second Cousins customer.

If you didn't wear yourself out at BANG! last night come by for a special CSSified DANCE CLASS tonight...
Which one of them fucks with dudes? One note about these over-crowded DJ bills: Yeah it sucks but it's never done on purpose. It's like all of a sudden some dude gets involved and than there's 8 million people DJing. I don't know how, but it does. I guess until you see how ridiculous the flyer looks it's just like "the more the merrier." Another note about these over crowded DJ bills: As long as you're not giving up any of your money who cares? I'm not sweating it, I'll spin next week. One note on the Studio at Webster Hall: Yeah Webster Hall sucks but the Studio's the shit. True Rave sound system! In case you missed it, here's some footage of me working the room last week...

If you think Hold On was a hit, wait till you hear the other shit these dudes have been working on. Native New Yorkers, looks to kill, signed to DFA and Alex can sing his ass off. These guys got it all right now. As you can guess their Dj set was full of Disco jewels, but in the interview we talked about Dilla and all their keyboards. By far these guys are two of the brightest starz in the game.
DJ HOFF Keeping in Disco mode B-More to LA transplant DJ Hoff dropped me a mix of some real sleazy Disco perfect for getting your office party crunk. Hoff and I have been working on a Mix CD with Spank Rock called Mobroder which is basically like the trials and tribulations of the Black Moroder, I think it’s gonna be epic, so of course it’s taking forever. Look for it in the beginning of the New Year and in the meantime check for Hoff’s mixes floating around the internet, they’re really good. Don’t forget you can now listen to the show on iTunes... iTunes → Radio → Dance → Turntable Lab LA Radio

Sorry for the shameless self-promo, but this is our biggest project ever and I figured it should get some blog shine time. We just wrapped up an 18-color screenprint by artist David Choe (Vice Guide to Travel, Upper Playground, current cover of Giant Robot), based on a 5 x 6 ft. painting he did. After we printed two different Obama posters for Choe (this one and this one), we decided to do it again like Bill Cosby and Sidney Poitier and print his painting entitled EXODUS FROM THE LAND OF PLAY on the ultra raer hyper limited edition tip.
Once the screenprinting was done, David came to town to sign and number them and he also drew and painted on every single print. Here's some video of Dave in action:

Yo word up Sabo, it's ill to hear the teacher still dropping knowledge bombs after all these years. Speaking of knowledge, anyone ever hear of Ron B? Dude put out one single back in 1990 and no one ever heard from him again. I know The Rub guys put his track "Stitch By Stitch" on their history of hip-hop mix awhile back and word has it, the 12" continually sells for anywhere between $500 and $1000 depending on the condition. There's one on the bay right now but don't count on any recession specials and remember to get your bids in early bros.... -NN

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The Rub at the Guggenheim Art After Dark party last Friday was pretty out of control. There was a mental dude jumping up and down as soon as we started, Pinochio was face down in the fountain, and I played Young Jeezy and TI for probably the first time ever to a roomful of cougars in a fine arts setting. Then Southpaw was so wild on Saturday, people were falling on the floor backstage. Our boy Ian Meyer took some great pictures for those who slept. ![]() You know Jemz isn't the only one with a Scion show right? In true nepositic fashion, Rub Radio welcomes Jesse Tittsworth to the show this month, throwing down a set of Baltimore club, rave jams and exclusive remixes, then sitting down for a deep and personal interview about food. Scorpions! Whale meat! Plus Cosmo, Eleven and I play tons of new and classic hip-hop, house, and even some dubstep. Listen at http://www.scion.com/channel2 or iTunes > Radio > Hip-Hop > The Rub on Scion Radio 17 In case you missed it in the daily, 12 Steps - The T&A Remixes EP is for sale right here. Featuring Nina Skye, Pitbull, Federation, Diamond K, Kid Sister and Pase Rock. Remixes by DJ Day, Sammy Bananas, Meterhead, Bird Peterson and Trackademicks. Digi coming soon. I'm back on the road with Bun B next week in the midwest. The shows are free - but you have to RSVP to get in, you can't just show up. I'll be spinning rap videos on Serato VSL. By the way, if you missed it, I put up a live set from the last Bun B tour. Get that, plus my Best of Jeezy mix, and more, at Brooklyn Radio.

can't top woody's "hey jealousy" 12" in terms of quantifiably amazing badness but still want to talk about dumb ass records, sooooooo...here's "female of the species" by space. prob best known from the austin powers soundtrack, but also had a little run on its own as one of the handful of britpop videos you could order on "the box" (it's funny how all those bands were so down with giant fleece sweatshirts, i was always half-waiting for noel gallagher to rock maurice malone or something). only reason i thought about it today is because, lo and behold, swizz beats and lil wayne sampled it (?!?!?) somehow i'm still holding onto the single even though the sleeve has some kind of unidentifiable food stain on it, even though it's fucking GOOFY as shit as a song, even though there's some very questionable scratching on it. now white town "your woman" on the other hand...STILL A SMASH!

I’ve been in Miami almost 10 days now. I was supposed to leave a few days ago, but when I got the snow report I was like “what’s the rush?” Art Basel’s a complete 180º from WMC. If you think it’s hard to get into a DFA party, imagine Grace Jones in a 250 capacity venue. Schnazzle’s not really about the parties though, its all about networking and I guess buying art if you can afford it. Well I didn’t do any networking and I’m not bringing home any Monets, but I did take some crappy pics. For the wild side of the trip check TWITTER or the ARAB PARROT aka FREDDY FERRARI (Don’t watch me…) First off I played myself by not considering the ramifications of wearing this shirt around Scope…
It was the equivalent of wearing a MOOG shirt to NAMM or better yet one of those “I got Bourbon Faced on Shit Street” shirts in New Orleans. I almost turned it inside out.
Pete and Cindy were selling their child photos.
I always like Dalek.
More Naomi, she’s super cool and super humble. Thanks for the Mimosa’s babe!!!
This was in a series of sketches that reinacted YOUTUBE moments. I’m partial to Pandas. Funniest thing the Parrot said all week “I didn’t come down here to look at a bunch of sketches!”
I didn’t like this piece at all. But Lloyd and I both started shaking when we saw it cause it’s exactly what shit looks like when you smoke Salvia. DON’T SMOKE SALVIA!!!
These guys were responsible for shutting down Boston one day. Google “GRL” kind of a big deal I guess.
Lloyd’s best quote of the week “finally someone got it right!” You can’t really see in this picture, but that’s just a black piece of paper inside a frame. It had a red (meaning sold) sticker next to it, people are still falling for that one? Jeez I’m in the wrong business.
This is just a pic I took of some of my favorite yogurt. Best promo item ever!!! HOLLER AT YOUR BOY TWITTER/BLUJEMZ !!! NYC...

First, Journey replaces Steve Perry with cheaper Asian labour in the form of Arnel Pineda: Then Pacman, this past Saturday. Dude was just warming up in the 8th round: What's next? Some Flip from Daly City spearheading the scratch DJ movement?

Alright, reality check. It's the last month of this crazy, crazy year. Although it's easy to lose your head in the flurry of the holi-daze and the state of the economy, I think you'll have to agree that musicians, producers, and DJ's have been working harder than ever to bring fresh sounds to the scene. Thanks to our new pres, change is a word heard throughout the country, but for music, I think it's already here... That said, check out these picks, or miss them when they're gone. Flying Lotus Galaxy Toobin' Gang Lullabies In The Dark Grackle Prime Numbers C.O.M.B.I. Crunch Pete said to me earlier this year, "hip hop is definitely gonna come back," totally feel you. Also, Dr. Suzuki is my hero for putting these out. File this under un-fuck-withable... And this bad boy is just baaaadd. Keep it hot.

Damn. I had to ask Pete for blog access in the hopes of joining in the 12" showdown. Then I saw Hey Jealousy and instantly conceded. The Tomb Raider soundtrack sampler I stumbled upon last week isn't even picture-worthy. Keep it going! Hey Lab fam. It's been a while.

So awesome. If we're going to truly set off this Bad Record Pissing Contest, allow me to lay down 2 rules: 1. No import 12s. As we all know, the Europeans have literally pressed every song on 12", including the first caveman banging 2 rocks together to express his outrage about pterosaurs or whatever. 2. No albums. Singles only. So here we go:
ps- Lloyd I'm pretty sure I gave you at least one of those 3 NES records after we made the Neverending Party Pt 2

What!?!? Do you mean this Wyclef Jean feat THE ROCK "It Doesn't Matter" 12"??? Youre lucky im too lazy to locate my "Perfect Gentleman" promo feat Hope and end this whole shit right now! What, you dont remember that song? Anyway, as far as hip hop hybrids go i cant really fuck with you there. i never really went through a drum and bass phase which is why to this day i have really great taste in music. however, i will invite you to fuck with my N.E.S TRIPLE THREAT! I ain't talking no Nintendo bullshit either.

Thats what the fuck I'm talking about. Was going to keep it in the refugee camp and grab the pic sleeve Wyclef feat THE ROCK "It Doesn't Matter" 12" (w/ Longsy D "This Is Ska" loop) but it looks like I actually did get around to tossing that one on the last collection purge. Instead we have the blue vinyl double LP Blade II soundtrack in all its raptronica awfulness...but...there's an Eve and Fatboy Slim song I...kinda like. Ugh. Save pile.

Oh, i see how it is now. First im blowing my load and now my records are too "good." Ive been down this road before. As soon as i start killing it the rules change and im forced to dumb down. Fine by me. Ive only been dealing with these sort of issues for the last 400 years. GAME ON!

To bring it back to the stacks...Lloyd all those were actually "good" records (a bunch of Woody's were too), I was talking about the puzzling shit you can't bring yourself to get rid of even though there's no reason whatsoever to hold on to it or even own in the first place...

went home to the great state of Maryland for thanksgiving. hit up downtown DC on saturday. this is a picture i took of the white house. i am always amazed that you can get so close to it with that low security fence and barely any security in sight. i could almost throw a football to the porch. i have always been curious to see what would happen if shit went down here. would agents drop pop up from the sidewalk, plain clothes kids in bubble jackets popping out gats? are those windows bulletproof? realistically, you could see some wacko coming up to the fence and firing off a rocket launcher (which i would never do big brother if you are reading).
ps. lloyd you win, keep it flowing...
