hey jemz,
what about classic tony pics?

(via Treasure Fingers)

also I'm at Pacha Friday with Surkin and a bunch of other house dudes, The Rub Saturday with Cosmo & Eleven, and the Giant Step Party Monday with the same, plus Flashing Lights next Friday. http://www.djayres.com

jemz, found some stuff that wasn't dude related

I say more sports posts like this...

-NN

I amended rules #5 & #7 after further consideration. Let's gooooo people!!! I need some energy from this blog!!! Bite the bate!!! Seriously though MATIAS where you at? I can't always be Captain Save A Blog! I should be making music...

This Sunday, I'll be opening up for Kid Koala at le Poisson Rouge. If i happen to be walking funny, it's because wifey and i are doing the 5-boro bike tour earlier that day.

I'm also doing a set with Terence from my side-project band Taxi Taxi, who also happens to be my cousin.

Monday night come chill with some quiet-time action at House of Yes. Bring a sketchbook, lump of clay, or that sweater you've been meaning to finish knitting. Eric can tell you more about it.

Hussein follows my Twitter feed and you should too

Things I twitter about:
Sports
White Girls

If you don't like either of those two, Boy Genius aint down with you.

you only have 2 days left to listen to this show, which sucks cause it was one of the best shows i've done. You'll just have to check back every month if you care. Blogging is boring to me.

NEW LAB RADIO

(click box, duh!)

This month my guests were...

UNEMPLOYED LLOYD

Hands down best DJ ever! He did part 1 of a 3 part Hardy Boyz dj set series covering rare 80's influences on the group.

DE:SIGNER

This is my man JMV's music/art collective? They are based out of LA but really part French, part Chi-towner and more. All the music they've been sending me has been blowing my mind, so much so I'm trying to get him to work on the Hardy Boyz album with us a bit. Check them out at http://lebranche.net/ were art&music make out.

STACCATO

What can I tell you about these girls that they haven't told you already (a million times none the less)? They are the homies and play great music. Their set was minimal, duh!

Don’t forget you can always listen to the show on iTunes...

iTunes → Radio → Dance → Turntable Lab LA Radio

ALSO LAB BLOGGERS!!!! How about a few less pictures of dudes on this blog? Here are examples of photos that are making this blog unreadable...

1. Any picture of any male athlete.
2. Any tour recaps where you're in multiple photos standing with different djs/promoters/homies/etc...
3. Any photos of your homies who are "doing their thing"
4. Any photo that is "gay" (irony is dead)
5. Any photo Super Boy Dorkness posts
6. Party photos where the ratio is clearly male dominated
7. Any photo of yourself if you're a dude (except in the case of Roc, am I gay for thinking he's handsome?).

HARDY BOYZ WILL BE OPENING FOR HARVEY NEXT SATURDAY!

Donovan, Eli, and Romo = Dead

Brian Orakpo.

last weeks party alert

big thanks to everyone who came out to last weeks BK Bailout party at the Brooklyn Masonic Temple

you may recall jemz posted a "Mobroder vs Michna" before the night went down

In my opinion King Britt took the night

the pics i had of him came out mad blurry, but he held down the room which was probably 1000+ people.. (this pic is of Reverend Billy)

when i was loading in, so were the ice guys.

i asked "where do you get the blocks of ice"

they said "we make it, and if you tried to make it, yours would have mad bubbles in it"

i said "oh, but if you use a tub that cycles the water while it freezes you get no bubbles"

ha

guy was jumping rope with a pogo stick dressed in a suit. good times all around. was definetly crazy to see that many people in fort greene.

Side note - Daedelus and Jogger have a new EP out. The concept is you buy the limited Kozyndan t-shirt, and the music comes packaged with it. (6 original tracks + 7 remixes)

The Fader put up my Daedelus remix here for free. Enjoy!

Last night before playing, me and Sabo were geekin out at the bar watching one of those top 100 sports moment shows - you know, like when dumbass gus frerotte's attempts to display his whiteboy strength to a padded mat [haha!].. it made me wonder though out of all the amazing feats they show and baseball bats to the groin, there is no footage of philly brethren bo kimble lacing his left-hand tourney shots! Wtf? That's some of the strongest shit the world of sports has ever seen apart from moss' means to pay for fines homey [which was not shown either!] Espn, holler at me and the BG if you got 2 production manager openings for your next top 100 wrap-ups!

Our number is 222-2222 we got an answering machine that'll talk to you...

[/sportsnerdpost]

Did you see the comments for Ayers' pic?

I think that was Cosmo.
This might be the biggest in-house beef since Hulk Hogan beefed with Macho King Randy Savage and led to the break up of the Mega Powers!

Tomorrow night people!!! Larry Heard's first appearance in NYC in over 5 years!

Michna Top 7:
Tonight I'm playing all vinyl, Im strickly DITC at the crib right now

Got this in London at Music and Goods Exchange in Notting Hill. The coolest thing at this store is the massive amount of promo stuff you can find, most of which never makes it over to the states. Came across this Solid Groove remix for 2 quid.. Solid, mate.

Sami Koivikko - I tell Spectral what I need on vinyl and they send it to me. yyyeah : ) This track is perfect for a large soundsystem, cause you really get to appreciate the depth of the production.

Etherea Records on avenue A just closed forever, so sad, but.. I copped some really good crate staples at the "everything must go" moment.

I bought this at Etherea when I used to work there. Stuart Walker is a funny guy, on the back of this album is a big picture of a dude on a laptop with a X thru it. Thats cause Stuart is hardcore about doing live shows on his MPC, and kills it every time. This record is a great blend of his brand of Tech and House

How cool would it be to be Andrew Weatherall? You can play Ibiza by Day, then have Warp release your left field productions as Two Lone Swordsmen by night.

When I go to Black Market I open my mind (and hold my temples) and tell the guy behind the counter to "hit me with hot shit". Then I say , more this, more that, less salt, more butter, .. then he hits me with the Michael Ho EP

got this at where else, the Lab. Justin Martin remix - 45RPM whole A side. BIG SOUND!
Oh yeah, so we start at 11pm tonight. APT is in the west village in nyc. its free, and they have a funktion one soundsystem. see ya never

I had this random memory pop into my head the other day. It was of me stoned out of my mind in college watching the Fantastic Four on WB, when I swear I saw Human Torch aka Johnny Blaze grab the mic at a high school prom and bust a rap like Imani from the Pharcyde to a dreamy hip hop instrumental. Guess what? It was real...

Lol...thanks internets.

Hip Hop tributes have pretty much been rubbed to death, but these shirts
by Staple add a stark reality to three of NY's biggest icons. Check out how
young these motherfuckers are here. Even legends were kids once.

OK, funeral shirts are always gonna be pretty dark, but look at that procession.
Truly the mark of a king.

the Staple Pigeon takes flight for the '09.

Loving these hoodies by No Mas too. I am in no way obsessed with sports like ph or b. genius, it's just No Mas has a way of relating it to the rest of the world. Clean, simple and badass...That Tyson Vs. Givens is rich.

El Michels is also killing it with the tributes...

Enter The 37th Chamber (Wu-Tang Covers) LP

Walk On By: A Tribute To Isaac Hayes EP

Uh Oh. Pimp Ink. Does this mean more moms coming into the Annex with lists for Krink? Yes, it does(We I.D.).

Also, I got the official word from Lab's tech afficianado, Minimal Man.
Serato SL3 - Good! Guaranteed more powerful output! Plus it's got a bunch of new features like live sample banks and thangs...

SL 3 - Serato Scratch Live

And if you really wanna say fukket and break free from your box like our man Rainey, here's your ticket to ride...

blast these on your headphones,
Jane's Addiction
Nothing's Shocking LP

set this bad boy up,

have you picked up a bodybuilding mag recently (prob not)? i was at the airport news stand killing time and peeped this madness... shit is so indicative of our extreme-obsessed world... what the hell is next?

check out the porn star stachio - headband - liquid liquid combo... that's what we call "freedom"
hey rainey, if you're reading, post some shit!

another ex-lab employee, Neil Armstrong (he was the first manager of the manhattan store) stopped to drop off his new cd (it'll be on the site tomm), and catch up with his tour stories. currently djing for hova, Neil told us about Jay's invisible wall, djing in Nigeria, his personal tour stylist(!), and more... dude looks the exactly the same since i first met him nearly 10 years ago... must be the philipino pacquaio blood...

lastly got a surprise visit from Phil from crosstalk... crosstalk is one of the biggest indy music distros left... he's put out a ton of records from obscure chicago house to cumbia to downtempo to dubstep... he's definitely an integral part of dj underworld... i've been dealing with him for years, but this is the first time we met in person...

it's been a minute but

How to make a 0-16 team more "Fierce"

I kinda like it....

compared to....

reminds me when the Barclay's English Premier League modernized their logo, but in the EPL's case, i hated it. It took the british elitism out of it. The old one sorta looked like a graphic out of The Legend of Zelda. i guess the new logo still has its english elitism qualities... with the crown, and paw on the ball... cause if that was an American league, the Lion would be snarling with the jaw wide open, and it would be clawing the shit outta the soccer ball (with the crown tilted on the side, obviously)....

The Lions switching their shit up also reminds me of when the Atlanta Falcons switched their shit up, made it more modernized and "fierce", a term sports marketing and PR loves to throw around. Looking back at their old logo, you start to realize that the old bird was quite Nazi....

Speaking of changing a logo to not look so damn Nazi, check out my club's logo re-design history....

Pete isnt the only design nerd in the family.....

Thursday April 23th 2009:

For this one I pulled together the underdogs of NYC. Both Mike and Derek have YEARS of experience in dance music and have both been credited as the kind of DJs other DJs look up to. Topped with a rare nyc Staccato appearance and you're in good hands. Don't forget its free, and this time I'll actually be there!

7 out of 6 experts are now saying Twitter leads to depression. So the next time you're at a party and you Twitter "This sucks" - Guess what, that's YOUR bad...think about how others look at you when you're twittering

ALL DAY

120 MINUTES ALL DAY SON!!! DON'T SLEEP ON THE EXTENDED OUTRO!!!

Btw-if you miss this era of music don't sleep on this series.

NYC is such a Target Rich Environment when the warm weather hits girls are skin out and i feel like a 14 year old again. in honor of my fired upness and being 34 i will only listen to shit i was bumpin back in '89 120 MINUTES/WDRE stylee(Yo Eli- WDRE was the shit for a minute)

Everyone on this blog sounds like "blah, blah, blah."

tonight you decide:

MICHNA VS MOBRODER

http://www.thebrooklynbailout.com/

so after Roc offered such an interesting interview, I switched it up for Eli's interview by asking Roc to pose the questions. i guess these guys know each other pretty well (or Roc is a stalker)... which is interesting cause whenever am hanging out with djs, sometimes I wonder how we'll they really do know each other. you always see djs bro'ing it out at clubs, but do they really know each other?

so by the time you finish reading this, you'll know a lot more about Eli and even Roc... go up to them in the club and ask them to be your bro... (ok maybe not the Roc)...

also remember to pick up the Roc x Eli Money Lotion 12"...
buy 12" at the lab

READ ROC's INTERVIEW

shout out to Porchetta which is a couple shops down from the manhattan store. i love me some bbq, but they might have the best pork sandwich around. porchetta is an italian thing where they wrap the pork loin with the belly... it comes out juicy with crunchy bits... the sandwich comes undressed, minus some oil, but it's sooo good, you don't need to add anything... this and an arsenal victory yesterday made my day...

from the highs to the lows... got the egg salad from the usually reliable B&H, but check out how much egg they put in there. wtf were you thinking?

also, will be posting a real informative interview with Eli tommorrow... i switched it up a bit and asked roc to ask the questions this time...

It's a great time to be in the market for vintage BMX bike's too...

For a small fee of course.

SUPER VIRAL BROTHERS

On Tuesday night we had Sweden’s SUPER VIRAL BROTHERS come by the Scion Radio Party at Plan B here in NYC to play their US debut. Although just a “dj set” they tore the room down with a sound I still can’t describe. They’re almost like Sa-Ra meets Justice, but saying that would be an injustice to their originality. The beats provided by Dadalife’s Olle are on some super electronic, hard shit as are the futuristic vocals from Akron Ohio’s Anthony Mills.

I first got introduced to the duo via this mix they have floating around the Internet called THE FLU SHOT. Right off the bat you get hit with a remake of Aphex’s Window Licker. I know that sounds sacrilegious but it works. Olle said he choose beats that were futuiristic in their own time for Anthony to stream of conscious all over. They also said they wrote, recorded and mixed the entire thing in just one day (definitely not Hardy Time). If you check out their MySpace the individual tracks are also available for download.

I asked the duo a couple questions (ala Michna style) here they are (quite cerebral answers boys!).

Q: What three things would you say have the most influence on your work currently?

A: Things noticed. smell memories. physical indurance.

Q: How do you survive the darkness of the Scandinavian Winter?

A: enjoy every precious detail Sweden is overflowing with.

Q: How did you two meet and begin working on music?

A: We met through Photographer Martin Adolfsson.....and actually started by bartering studio time for vocal stylings.

Q: What projects should people be looking for from you in the upcoming year?

A: Super Viral Brothers Wires in Love. Wild Cookie "drugs" EP. Gorilla Milk.

TONIGHT THEY’LL BE DOING A FULL ON LIVE SET @ DANCE CLASS, COME HELP THEM MAKE HISTORY… SHOW TIME 12 MIDNIGHT!!! FREE AS ALWAYS!!!!

so the michna tour finally ended. Here is the post-sxsw summary:

after Austin we headed to New Orleans. It was all our first time being there and we loved it. This is partially the reason why we skipped out on WMC. It kind of feels like paradise down there, especially if you get to chill with the right locals. Jim Russel records had ridiculous selection, and it was like a time warp museum inside. I bought KLF and Craig Mack Cassingles. Also in the dollar cd bin was FungKungFusion, Rabbit in the Moon, DJ Sneak mix cds, and other jewels I snatched. 

If you wanna catch the Ice live these days, you better head South.

I ended up drinking for 40 nights in a row. I didn't want to, but it happened. To prevent from getting sick I ran a steady diet of garlic and diet coke

Then we drove from NoLa to Gainesville, where DJ Coin Laundry made an appearance

Next night was Tampa, these girls got pissed when we took this picture

Tampa is the New Jersey of Florida

but they party regardless in Ybor City

Jacksonville was dope cause the venue was a block away from the beach

After Florida we did a really good run of shows in Alabama and Tennessee. We had these posters for sale and sold all of em

The last show was in Athens GA for the ballers ball.

lots of fly girls out there! real ripe college style.

A few hours later and I'm djing at the brooklyn museum. I had no idea it would be like Ibiza.

Super thanks to everyone who came out

When the smoke cleared I found myself in residential Brooklyn on the set of a Hardy Boys video shoot

I showed up with $8300 in cash in my pocket and Hardy Boys really liked that. (I offered to use it as a prop in the video, to simulate the Money Studies advance money, but we didn't)

Hardy Boys blew most of the video budget on extras, and everyone was amped. What you can't see is that Mike here is wearing speedos underneath.

Could this be the most incredible thing to happen in sports history?

It all started with Chad Johnson playfully placing an "Ocho Cinco" nameplate over "Johnson" in one of his games a couple seasons ago. Then, last year he changed his name legally from 'Chad Johnson' to 'Chad Ocho Cinco', but the NFL refused to acknowledge the change. Now, coming into this season, the league, along with the media, have fully accepted the fully legal name change. This is all old news, but it hasn't really hit me until I saw this on the NFL's official merchandise website....

It kills me everytime a reporter mentions "Ocho Cinco" with a total straight face. Honestly, could this be the craziest thing in sports history?!?

UPDATE:
omg.... i didnt even realize this, but i just read this in John Clayton's mailbag:

Q: Don't you think it would be hilarious for Chad Johnson to go to a team where he could not get the number 85?
-Paul in Norman, Okla.

A: I officially nominate you for e-mailer of the year. I did check and saw that 14 teams don't currently have the No. 85 on their roster. The Eagles do have an opening for a No. 85. If the Eagles could work out a trade, at least he wouldn't have to change his number.

KIKO!!!!!!

To be 17 and be the hero at Old Trafford....
Two weeks in a row!!
(Im sorry Pete, but Hulk aint got shieet on Macheda)

i can feel that warm weather creeping in like the mccrarys...

1. a lot more of this... especially next weekend when it pops off with the lady getter Sabo

2. what'd i say? this weekend was perfect and was even better that i got to chill out streetside and play records at this new storefront

3. i don't grip wood grain - it grips me!

4. pete, i think that monk's dream 7" is the only thing i have missing from the ms collection

We just got word that Baltimore Club Legend DJ Class is going to be doing a show tonight,
4.13.09, at Temporary Spaces in Hollywood.
This is a super intimate venue and a good chance to see Class outside of all the
commercial top 40 love his been receiving lately with his single I'm The Ish.

Also there is going to be a performance by
super secret guest there who's in town for coachella.


Its free with RSVP. For more info click here

cleaning out my cd collection... came across these..

buying cds back in the day was such an inexact science... i was looking for this cd for a couple months... tower didn't have it, waxie maxies or kemp mill didn't have... i finally found it at wheaton plaza mall in a sam goody... so random... before internets, it was so random what "alternative" music you'd find in the stores... and how'd these type of releases finally appeared is still a mystery to me... as for the CD, this is some gay'd out, cold war new wave... title track is one of the finest new wave moments of stupidity and bliss...

thank god for tower back in the day. the one in dc near GW always had the crazy imports... here some old AFX Analog Bubblebath cds... the one with the bubble wrap cover is awesome...

first year of college is pretty awesome because you discover everybody else's music. i think frogman put me on to the Boogie Monsters... in retrospect, they are just the poor-man's Pharcyde, but we must have played have listened to "Stress" about a hundred times after smoking dirt and shwag nickels (literally, dealers would mix dirt and weed) from washington square park...

yeah, i was one of those nerds that bought all the imports and peel sessions... back then, one of these $20 cds would buy me like 5 meals at roy rodgers or mcdonalds... bye - bye spending money... can you buy me fries? the live versions on Entreat were better than the album! Fire in cairo on peel is wicked.

ok, im not giving props to Love Supreme for the umpteenth time... just giving it up to the digi-pack packaging. i think this was the first digipack cd i got (free from Giant Step party)... it's still one of the best translations of vinyl art to the cd... there's a more photos and a booklet inside too....

not to toot our own weiner, but our first Money Studies release is one of the best mixes ever... we moved a shit ton in tokyo where it became a cult classic... i've recently been listening to it non-stop... anybody got the 7"? about the cover, i randomly ordered a vintage playboy off ebay for the cover... and that's where i found this... lucky first shot.

one of my favorite new wave cds ever... peel sessions of early omd material... sick wizard shit.

gotta love Generation Records by NYU and their selection of "italian" bootlegs... during the Dummy frenzy, i spent a week's spending money on this boot... it featured a live dj set followed by a live performance... tracklistings were always wrong on these things, and recording quality varied... i think this one was ok, i would relisten but i don't want to go back there...

i think i was reading one of those UK music mags (Select?) and its review of this CD.... the awesome thing about this was that there was an unmarked bonus disc hidden under the CD tray... it featured all the remixes of "Blue Room" including one that was like 20 minutes long... yeah man, ambient dub rastafari!

Tonight we throw down. Free at Southpaw. Come and join the jam.

First, on behalf of the LA Store, let us apologize to everyone that came out to the
Asher Roth in store only to have him not show up. We were promised that
he would be here, and we were well into the event before we even got the cancellation.

But a big special thanks to the event sponsors that helped make the party go off
anyway: Red Bull, PBR, and Universal Records. Thanks to all the heads that made
it through also.

Here are some of the pics:

also, Marcos Senna prob one of my favorite players now...

i want this jersey...

even ESPN is up on the Hulk...

speaking of lookalikes, Cmish has been developing his hipster-fu-man-chu look for the last couple months... so much so, that a couple of youngins at the store were geeked, thinking he was Steve Aoki (true story)... too freaking funny.

as some of you might know i've done some damage within the last year on jdate. since jew chicks are rarely a challenge and the shit is like $45 a month now i had to step my game up to
JIHADDATE

yeah i know what y'all are thinking just like grand puba said "never date a girl if the girl got a kid"
but she's not that type of hype, she's into cool shit like paintball, warrior weekends, shuffleboard, MGMT and the color green. now the only problem is explaining our forbidden love to my bubbie and zadie at the passover sedar.

Last week I dj'ed at the Guggenheim Museum's First Friday


The Uptown crowd was a little stiff at first, but once the booze caught, I got them moving.


Here's what got them shaking:

Here's a few more random WMC pics too:

are you watching the champion's league games right now?
halftime in both man u vs port and the villareal vs. arsenal...

best nick name goes to HULK aka Givanildo Vieira de Sousa

in international football they take their nicknames more seriously, replacing real names with nicknames in scorelines, broadcasts, articles, etc...

im following the game online and it's hilarious to see the commentary read
"Rooney, chasing Hulk, concedes a foul."

HULK in action

To add to the Asian ego, my good homies brother Bobby Lee is in the new Eminem video.

Raise your Soju glasses for Koreans becoming the dominant Asians in entertainment.

HAHA HOMIE, YOUR FAVORITE EMCEE MENTIONS THIS BATTLE IN HIS NEW HIT SONG "I'M IN HONG KONG"!!!
EXXXXXXXCLLLLLUUUUUUSSSSSIIIIVVVVVVVEEEE!

Son,

Dont ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever mention the words 'battle' and 'Asian' and 'best' without mentioning.....

...or Jin tha Emcee

You know the MESTIZO always likes to get into trouble, so I sent a few of my battle rap homies down there to end Asher's career on camera. I was in SF the whole weekend watching Mike Gao and Lazor Sword kill shows, so I could not partake in what was to be a glorious day for real emcees, but apparently he didn't show up. So FUCK HIM.
Here's one of the homies that showed up, his names DUMBFOUNDEAD and as of now this battle is highly regarded as the best one on one Asian battles of all times.
Enjoy
JJ

Oh figured I'd throw this one in for B.G.

Fuck Asher Roth

Don't buy his garbage.
Save yourself from a free download too.

I have to agree. Fred Falke's remix is great. My introduction to that song is when Smalltown DJ's dropped it at Lollapalooza last year. Here's some footage I took. Good times...

I few weeks back I got to peep the third show of the TIMELESS put on by the Mochilla
and Art Don’t Sleep fam a lam. Hailing from Rio de Janiero, Arthur Verocai took the
stage with Airto Moreira, Ivan Conti, Jose Betrami, Carlos Dafe, and L.A.’s own
Carlos Nino to deliver a night of musical masterpiece.
Verocia was a large part of the Tropicalia movement; a psychedelic conglomerate
of soul, folk, samba, rock, and jazz inspired from Brazilian cultural and musical
richness that is seemingly imbued in the nation. And, much like Verocai, has sustained
time effortlessly.





Even the mans demeanor was very subtle with a much more introverted personality
that is explosive in his music. He has worked with Tim Maia who is one of the most
brilliant cats to ever make funk and soul music (yes I said EVER) and can be
compared to the likes of Jorge Ben (who he did string arrangements for),
Os Mutantes (Seu Jorge/Nasty Ned from City of God), Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil,
and Ivan Lins who he released “Agora” with in 1971. For you Brazilian music fanaticos
he also worked with Evinha, Gal Costa, Jorge Benjor, and Marcos Valle; the list is endless.





The show was definitely dope without all of the frills of a stuffy atmosphere. Come as you
are or were, and appreciate the arts as we hope they will be. Ahem. Madlib and DJ Nuts
also accompanied the ensemble. I can’t front, I wore a scarf, drank wine at the intermission,
and damn near felt grown if it wasn’t for the crown royal I snuck in and the parking lot pimpin’
that ensued shortly there after.


This month was supposed to be this man…





Unfortunately the show has been cancelled for undisclosed reasons.
BUT, if you don’t know who David Axelrod is… I pity the fool.

All the way live from L.A.

-King C-

A great song is a great song and all...

But remixes really don't get any better than this...

THIS SONG NEVER GETS OLD. THANK YOU FRED FALKE.

your boy Roc said FTW and played a Morrissey - Ned's Atomic Dustbin - DP set... scratching et all

this is a shot of frogman, the central brain of this thing (along with Xavier), when he realized that he threw one hella party...

i had to throw this one on here, so Frogman wouldn't make me take the last one down... hey ladiez...

yes, Lil Jon came to our party and blew the roof off... the outside parking lot was a teenage wasteland... and everyone had fun... more picks like this on the GLOB....

eager to hear this new cd from the roc [the-the the roc] and what direction it has taken since the Dominos / I am I be days of Middle School.

this brings me to my next question - roc, do you still have that video from mhz juggling miss fat booty? i don't mean to embarrass but really those were great days.

so last weekend i truly found out what it means to be an american. sunday morning i went to brunch with my friends who do the tight pants. about more than 2 bottles of chammy into some mimosas i was explaining that story about that man who iced a shark with a knife under the sea and my friend ben decided it would be a good idea to go light up the biscuit after our breakfast . we went to their house* where i found a bag of yogurt pretzels and off we went... now picture 3 american apparel clad dudes with 2 white chicks blasting melons and jugs of water while eating yogurt pretzels. that's the america i forgot existed.

*notice the eclectic collection displayed on the wall - ha'mazing mate

nitrous tanks, excessive amounts of drugs n alchohol, girls, lots of rooms with beds, permanent clouds of blunt smoke, homemade lasagna, a flatscreen with its always sunny in philly, etc etc.

shitpiles lurking
