Earl Sweatshirt - EARL (Video)

Earl Sweatshirt is just one member of Odd Future, a collective of skateboarding-foul mouthed-rappers. Part Wu-Tang, part Jackass these guys have taken my i-Tunes by storm. Check out the article that swayed me at Mishka's Bloglin. Here's an excerpt;

"These dudes are black skaters rapping about personal issues, how fresh they are and murder over beats that sound a bit like The Neptunes meets El-P meets Madlib. They shout out Waka Flocka flame and Joy Division in the same sentence. They create their own visual identity through in house artwork and videos (viral and traditional). Lastly, they’re distributing their music for free and cultivating their cult (for now) fanbase via the internet. Besides now, when else could this marriage of material and medium exist?"

Ra Ra Riot - Boy (Video)

From most of the reviews I've read I gather not too many people loved Ra Ra Riot's sophomore release "The Orchard". After having a couple of weeks to listen to the album I'd have to disagree. It may be similar to their original album, "The Rhumb Line", but that is what I wanted. Formulaic music doesn't always have to be a bad thing. It's comfortable for a bands listeners to know what they should expect. It also doesn't hurt that they have a sexy cello player. Who hasn't had the sexy cello fantasy?

I am so upset I missed the release of a Darkwing Duck comic book. I am so upset that I am upset about that.

Detail Work

Not only did the people at visim make a shirt that combines two of my current loves, t-shirts with pockets and corduroy, they focused on the details. The closure on the pocket. The two corduroy colours that work so well together. The gorgeous brand-tag on the arm. Everything about this t-shirt seems meticulously planned out. Maybe it's time to do a second wave of back-to-school shopping.

Dear God. I love The Roots.

Beat Connection - In The Water (Video)

Surf's Up! Tempo's Down! Beat Connection ride a wave of mellowed out beach grooves and fast paced rhythm on their EP "Surf Noir". The album, which you can download for free on Bandcamp here, has a haunting yet breezy feel taking elements of many different genres. Tropical drums, bouncy synths, spiraling guitars, house influenced beats are all over this 8-song gem.

Orange Cheese Peaked At Doritos

"Orange with Rare Cheese Flavor" juice is proof of the above theory. What were the good people at Tropicana Japan thinking? Drinkable cheese sounds three parts disgusting and one part inherently good. Not enough to rummage up many sales.

Mikey Rocks (Of The Cool Kids) - Foreign Features (Video)

One half of The Cool Kids, Mikey Rocks, has released some solo content over the summer displaying his smooth flow and athletic wordplay. Putting on a show like that must be tiring. I think that's why he's wearing the Bulls track pants in the video.

Stacey Carosi - Playoff Predictions

As I did last year, I will be writing summer-inspired posts under the title "Stacey Carosi". Daughter of Mr. Leon Carosi, the owner of the Malibu Sands beach resort where the Bayside Bunch were employed that wacky summer of 1991.

As the first and least important round of playoff basketball comes to a close I think it's the appropriate time to make my predictions. A little late, yes. Correct, maybe. Informed, kinda. I'll start today with the Eastern Conference.

The big match-up of Boston and Cleveland in the second round allows Orlando to continue it's smooth ride through the playoffs. The Magic will most likely be playing the Atlanta Hawks who they dominated this season. Orlando was 3-0 in the season series, holding them to 76 points in their first meeting in November. I see Dwight, Carter & Co. crushing them in this series. As for the Cavs-Celts matchup, I think the Cavs might have this one in the bag. Lebron is on a tear right now and has his sight set on the Finals. Sorry Dwight! If you meet the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals I see Lebron on the winning side of it.

Wocka Wocka Wocka Not Waka Flocka Flame

Uh-oh! Watch out Gucci Man! New artist Waka Flocka Flame, don't ask me I'm just as stooped, is coming after your Bart Simpson chain. Waka's chain is modeled in the image of Fozzy Bear of Muppets fame and adorned with green to "match with the yellow watch, green and shit." Hip-hop is nowhere near to being dead but rappers like Waka have kicked it squarely in the groin.

Nerd Gate!

The whole concept of "a balanced breakfast" was thrown out the window with this one. This cereal based on a candy paved the way for Resse's Peanut Butter Puffs and Snickers Oat Crunch. Okay, I make the second one myself but Nerds Cereal still paved the way for it.
