Tag Bang

Taken from Wooster:
Last week a group of 30 Pixadores stormed the Choque Cultural Gallery in protest against the "marketing, institutionalization and domestication of Street Art" by the galleries and media. Paintings by Gerald Laing, Speto, Titi Freak and others were tagged by the Pixadores.

SDTW thinks:

I don't know how I feel about this one. I mean I sort of applaud the "bum rush" apsect of it, but art is in the eye of the beholder and selling it is by no means "selling out."

I personally enjoy the ephemeral aspect of the graffiti and street art, but if someone offered to pay or sponsor those en devours I wouldn't consider that "selling out."

People who do not participate or are not of the same caliber in said mediums are usually the quickest to open their mouths and scream sell out. Just do you. Let someone else paint whatever the f*ck they want to. That is sort of the point.

BUT....

If you are going to diss someone you may as well go balls deep and bum rush their show and cross them out Sao Paulo style.

San Diego's Most Flaunted

In an effort to be "fair and balanced" I decided to share the internuts best kept secret. Or at least San Diego's best kept secret....

The Women of Bumsville.

Living in what most chicks would consider "squalor" these 3 brave and self-described bitches eat, sleep, and sh*t on the edge between downtown and Logan/Imperial Ave. If you know where that is then you already know you're too much of a p*ssy to even drive there.

I used to live a couple blocks from there spot and it is sketch central. All that being said these 3 ladies hold it down and blog about the goings on which in of itself is refreshing seeing as I only know dudes that blog and it's always about the same stupid stuff. Myself not excluded.

I really won't bother explaining to you how hard this is to do.

My guilty pleasure at the moment is this retarded thing.

Thanks Jordan.

San Diego a.k.a Saint James

Lenox and I just got back from SD the 1904. I wish I had taken more pictures and gotten to see more people, but it is what it is.





Nick loves him some cigarettes and butt scratchin'. Not in that order per say.




Sometimes you gotta give them an eye jammie when they don't cook your eggs right.




Dig deeper Terry.




Better than all the world's restaurants put together.




If they have a sign it must be true.




A rare sighting of a Lenoctapus.




I really wish everyone could have the pleasure of knowing this gentleman. He goes by Chauncy and he has the wondrous ability to appear out of thin air on command. If it were up to me I would own a mansion and give him his own "wing" where he could do whatever he pleased.




Oh you didn't hear playa? Drinking coffee at the bar is where its at son. Do like I do.




The National Organization of Men Against Amazonian Masterhood

= NO MAAM.




The last thing some poor drunk hipster chick sees before blacking out.




The idea is to write your name on something. Scrap can savage.




The most glaring difference between San Diego and Seattle is the mexican food. It depresses me to no end. San Diego = 1 Seattle = 0.




Lenox finds out where chicken mcnuggets come from finally.




Brian and Justin in front of Street Machine. You could see more in one day in front of this shop than an entire year anywhere else.




The Corsican Brothers.





The problem with being accused of being seen at a gay bar is whether it is true or not the sheer accusation alone sort of insinuates guilt. It's also worth noting that Vince was also spotted there too. This picture demonstrates this actual moment better than any other photo I've ever taken.

Gather Round Now Crowd A People

Most folks do not understand dancehall culture or its mainstream popularity in other countries around the world.

Dancehall as a whole is more thoroughly understood and supported in other countries like the U.K, Japan, Italy, France, among others. Where as the U.S has only a few regions nationwide that truly support the scene.

That all being well in good just watch this clip at the 1:20 second clip and peep the crowd at this Mr. Vegas show in Japan.

The U.S never produces crowds of this size for an artist like Vegas.

KO NEE CHI WAAAAHHHHHH GWAN!

SDTW presents "Armagideon" Mix

I was going to sleep last night and suddenly felt compelled to put together a roots/rub a dub mix for whatever reason.

Peep the track list below:



The first half is mostly roots and deejay tunes. It sort of picks up the pace after that with some rub a dub and early dancehall and ends with Gregory doing some niceness.

Put this on while stuck in bloodclot traffic and it should ease things up a bit.

SDTW presents "Big L"

The greatest rapper of all time died on February 15th in 1999. I don't want to hear any arguments about this. Big L was the best PERIOD.

For all you "L" fans I found some rare versions of some tracks and a few harder to come across songs and slapped it together in one download.

"Furious Anger" track with Shyhiem is probably the stand out, but if you already have "Lifestlylez..." and "The Big Picture" there's really no where else to turn for Big L unless you find it on the net.

Again this isn't a "greatest hits" or anything of that sort. These are just tracks and versions that you probably don't have.

Bump it.
