Bush vows to be a "cock block"
Ed* On Congress that is. Unless they get a 2/3 majority vote which would be like the political version of a "hail mary"

Wal Mart to put in 400 health clinics soon
Ed* Are they serious? Will Mountain Dew and Slim Jims be the doctor "approved" low carb items?

Double-Ed* I think I just heard one of the Four Horse Men of The Apocalypse ride by my window

Return to The Yard!!!

I haven't posted up some tunes in a minute so I thought I'd post some goodness up for you before I go to bed because work has been brutal this week to say the least and it's been hard to post of late.

Enjoy!



Yellowman and Fat Head "Donkey Want Water"

Simple rub a dub style beat, pretty sure this one was done by Junjo but I could be wrong. The track is taken from their album "Divorced! (For Your Eyes Only).

Ed* Also worth mentioning best reggae album cover EVER!


Also I found this dead podcast site that had some banging podcasts up of roots, rub-a-dub, and more yardcore stuff.

Download the Sleepy Dub Styleeee of Horace Andy in dub, vicious!

Ed* Fun fact Brazilian S.W.A.T teams have more close quaters combat experience then any other unit in the world.

Oh I also forgot it's 420 or at least it will be by the time most people read this so I found this:



It's completly worthless, but so is the idea of celebrating a holiday about weed. As if you really need some sort of exscuse to get all spliffed out in your van.

Bomb It: The Movie

Last year I had set-up a book signing tour for the West Coast release of
T-Kid 170's The Nasty.

T-Kid had a signing at Crewest that afternoon, but before the signing we planned on painting at Frame's big LA jam. The list of writers painting was pretty impressive Persue, Mear, Retna, Rime, Argue, Neon, Apex, Jase, King 157, among others.

During the jam we met up with the crew from Bomb It: The Movie. Tracy and crew said they wanted to film later that night and get some bombing footage.

To make a long story short I ended up painting with T and Augor CBS on the 10 Freeway. What I didn't know is that the scene would make the final cut and the film would be premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival later this month.

Peep the trailer on their Myspace page HERE

You can also view Charlie's work all throughout New York seeing as he is one of the few people on the planet that can paint ads 10 stories tall on the side of a building for companies like Dewar's, Kodak, H&M, Rockstar Games, and more.

Picked up a copy of Bad Brains "Black Dots" finally.

Extremely worth it for anyone fond of Bad Brains.

A lot of the songs on "Black Dots" are also on the self titled ROHR album, and yet they are performed in a such a unique way that it is like hearing the song for the first time.

Download them and see for yourself.

Bad Brains "Banned in D.C" from Black Dots

Bad Brains "Pay To Cum" from Black Dots

Bad Brains "Don't Bother Me" from Black Dots
Ed* In my opinion the most over looked song by Bad Brains

La Musica Post

I decided to do many of you a favor and skim through the crème de la crème of my music blog bookmarks and unearth the "best" the internerd has to offer this week.

If you don't download music from mp3 blogs yet I would strongly suggest getting with the program. Let the sonically obsessed, shut-in, record Nazis, musicanistas do all the work for you so you can go along and be productive cogs in the machine for Amerikkka.

Enjoy...

Ralph Bakshi

Above: Sketches from "Street Fight"

In the last few years I've become somewhat of an animation nerd. Every chance I see some bugged out looking 70's animation movie I usually rent it or buy it straight away. Most of these films come from the mind of one man, Ralph Bakshi.

Bakshi was responsible for bringing R. Crumb's "Fritz the Cat" to the big screen and coincidently the film became the first x-rated cartoon in history.

R. Crumb was never for the "exploitation" of Fritz and he later killed the character off in one of his comic strips after years of being disgusted by fans inquiring about Fritz.

After years of making cartoons Bakshi will have a book published cataloguing all of his works.

Check out the link below.

So Yahoo loads up and you'd think that the news bullets would have something new to report on perhaps the never ending "war" on terror or even today's count of dead U.S soliders, but instead they had pictures from the World Beard Championships from Germany.

Back for another Monday post. This weekend was long and boring. I did go to the Sonics game on Friday with my cousin and the Sups beat the T'Wolves suprisingly. Other then that all energies are being spent on a big project almost 8 months in the making. You'll see it soon hopefully.

Keep it real.
