It's all just routine now.

I'm really tired right now, and i cant decide whether i should start this post with "Hey" or "Yo." It doesn't matter now so problem solved. It hasnt been easy finding enough time to put up new music this week, since i've started working again. Work mixed with procrastination/laziness usually takes up my entire day.
Check out these two site's. The first is 'The Creators Project' which is a web series about different artists and the technology they use. It's extremely interesting.
The next site is http://www.vbs.tv/. If KCET (PBS) was adopted by an indie father and hipster mother this is what it would be like.
I also found a couple of good videos:
Eminem on the Jonathan Ross Show - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvaCzeqfw8g
Sasha Vujacic on 'Sport Science' - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFhS5F7ubJs

Birthday shout outs to DK and Shariff! ! ! ! ! Shout out to the L.A.-to-Irvine crew. Shout out to Topacio and Cory.
It's Monday morning, have a great week.

Dont you just love how suddenly everyone loves soccer?

As you all know, the World Cup kicked off yesterday. I cant describe how happy and excited i am. Finally, after 4 years the pinnacle of sports is here. I only wish i could be participating in it but 'ehh, all you can do is dream and make sure you dont miss a second of the action. Obviously, there's gonna be a ton of soccer (call it what you want) stuff all over the internet so here are some of the more interesting things i found.

Here's the entire U.S. World Cup t.v. schedule till June 25th. All time are eastern.

This is a really interesting timeline of Maradona's life. I learned a lot about him.

ESPN's "Outside the Lines" did an amazing feature on soccer league on Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned. It's a MUST - SEE!!!

The latest mix in TLB is by Bachelors of Science. They're a British DnB duo based out of Frisco. They have a unique sound in that they use a lot of trancier samples. For more visit http://www.bachelorsofscience.com/.

Rollin Rockers + Ever Ready

*click to enlarge
So if you dont already know, Rollin Rockers (Plex Rock and Lush One) are about to release their new album, 'Bang! Bang!' on June 16th. You can pre-order it at
The guys over at Ever Ready came with the genius idea of putting the album on pill shaped usb drives. You get the entire album, the "What A Long Trip It's Been" mix, and exclusive Rollin Rockers content such as music videos and pictures. There's even extra space on the drive to upload your own content. The USB drives come in the limited color ways; green, blue, and red.

Here's a behind the scenes look at Rollin Rockers, "Molly Ringwald" music video.



Shout out to Corey, Alex, Gabe, Joey, Nicky, Sully, Andrew, and the rest of the good folks at ERR.

Hey. Hope you've all had a good weekend. This's been a good weekend; finally went to The Low End Theory and saw an amazing show (more on that later), made some money, and kicked it with the fambam (Shout out!). Btw, good luck to everyone who's being oppressed by academic finals.
I got two "things" to share tonight. The first is Nike Stadium, which are several soccer/futbol/football World Cup series working with famous artist from various fields of the art world (director's, visual artist's, interior designer's, painter's). It's very intriguing and entertaining. Defintely watch the 'Heroes of Speed' series. Here's the link to the NS channel.
The next thing i found was 'Heroman', a new anime co-created by the legendary Stan Lee of Marvel fame. It was released in Japan earlier this year and should be coming stateside soon. You can watch the series subtitled in english at:

Leave a message after the beep.

I have two things for you folks today. One's not so bueno and the other's really bueno. I'll start with the not so bueno so that you'll have the bueno to lift your your moods afterwards. Unfortunately, Rafa Benitez has left Liverpool FC. He did wonders for our club and i'm really sad to see him go. Management claims that it was mutual but everyone knows that they had put Rafa between a rock and a hard place. I doubt he'll ever read this but i'd personally like to thank you Mr. Benitez for these past 6 years. I think Maithri of EOTK sums it up best;
"What should be remembered is that nothing has been solved by what has happened at the club today. Yes the club is bigger than Rafa and will move on from him, but it has lost a man who has battled off the pitch with the club’s best interests at heart against the owners looking for a quick buck, the media who wanted a quick story, and most unforgivably, the club’s own fans who wanted a quick trophy."

Now for the bueno.
I'm a DIE-HARD Gundam fan. Die-hard, like i'd marry a Gundam if i could. So you can only imagine how happy i was when i found out that the MS Gundam 00 feature film is coming out this September. And you can only imagine how much happier i was when i found trailers for the film.
Last year in honor of MS Gundam's 30th anniversary an 18 meter tall, mechanical Gundam was put up in a Tokyo park. Before i die i want to see it in person, put and engine in, and pilot it.

Red Vomit

Hey. So another late late night or early early morning (depending on what you consider 3:47 am), another post - i just read this back to myself and i apologize cause this sounds super lame. Anyways, i'm at Maya's house right now. I dont really know how to explain what's going on here but it's a lot of randomness.

Last night i found a documentary on J. Dilla (RIP) by Stussy. Whether you're familiar with his work or not, i really urge you to watch the documentary. He's the greatest producer of the modern era.

Here's some of his music. Check out his last album 'Donuts'. It's utter genius.
