Jeff from Blind Barber was kind enough to host a Rooftop BBQ Party at his apartment building last Monday for Memorial Day and it turned out to be better than we could have ever expected. Shoutouts to NSR, Dash Speaks, & Colin for relieving me of my DJ duties throughout the day. ALSO, KEEP ME AWAY FROM THE MIC UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE CONSTANTLY REMINDED OF THE BEAUTIFUL SUNSET (“Everyone turn around, LETS DANCE to the sunset”)
ALSO, HUGE shoutouts to Blind Barber & VANE NYC (Atif took some great pics & shot the video posted above)
We’ll keep you posted on our next one.

Leaving tomorrow (Wednesday 5/12) to the Land of the Rising Sun. Won’t be back until June 29th (Just in time for #RANDO @ Gallery Bar). I’ll be reporting all my Japanese finds as the come up (Music related, Art, Interesting, Weird).
Btw, Can someone direct me to a Japanese Soundclash?
In the meantime:

I was born in 1986, the year of the rat. [EDIT:Thanks to Abraheme for correcting me...It's actually the year of the TIGER. DOESNT CHANGE THE FACT THAT I'm a PACK RAT!]
For most of my life I have lived the life of a packrat or hoarder; a personality trait inherited from my mother <3. Since I can remember, she has lived through giant tupperware boxes, too afraid to get rid of her “chunchas” (little knickknacks).
My memory as of late has not been up to par, which in turn has sparked an obsession with saving everything (justifying my hoarding hobby); but all of that is going to change in ’09.
I am proud to say that I have successfully thrown out 10 bags worth of useless papers, toys, nonsense, garbage, etc…
my room is looking immaculate.
LESS IS MORE.
Some cuts that made this cleanup possible:
Bonobo – Ketto
Yesterday’s New Quintet – Wanda Vidal

I broke night over the course of a weekend about 2 weeks ago and haven’t slept good since. The following are tunes keeping me from the edge of insanity.
