"...the only thing that makes the Church endurable is that it is somehow the body of Christ and that on this we are fed. It seems to be a fact that you have to suffer as much from the Church as for it but if you believe in the divinity of Christ, you have to cherish the world at the same time that you struggle to endure it.

Thizz iz wut it Izz


Start out the summer with the big Cuz upstairs, the one and only...MAC DRE! This was my first introduction Mac Dre and it's still probably my favorite. What you have here are some of his most potent 16 bars mixed into a super summer, ghetto blaster-ready 33-track party starter. Now hold on, I know most people are like, "pfff...Hyphy fag shit, Big L is the truth." or some other similar nonsense. Mac Dre is the real king of flow, slang, energy, swagger. And since this cd is condensed down to the absolute best 16 bars that he has you'll be hanging line-for-line while he delivers the goods.

"the shrooms i consume are making me laugh, im high as an eye on a fucking giraffe"
just a small sampling of his genius, rappers never reveal their influences nowadays, but dudes like Lil Wayne and Cassidy must have been taking cues from Mac Dre, because he is the king of punchlines and storytelling, and left-field analogies.

Sour Patch Kidz



Bay Area raize up! Fuck yes, I am seriously seriously crushin' on this band baaad. Homeboy Jack from Don't Trip(Rest In Pot my brothers) was bumping this on a recent trip up here. After a spin or two I had to know who the hell this was. Well for the last month or so I have bumping this at least once daily, which is saying a whole damn lot. I don't even eat everyday, or anything. No bull, straight up Pop, with punk tendencies. I refuse to call it pop-punk because it just doesn't do this shit justice. I am a songwriting guy, regardless of the type of music, I just care that their is some thought and effort put into the craft. Perfect pop music sounds instantly familliar. That's all it really takes, and every song hits you like a bad case of Deja Vu. Like that time you smoked salvia and swore up and down that you were married to your friends Grandmother in another life. I swear that happens. Anyways I got a soft spot for this shit for some other reasons too. I am a sucker for literally anything with a female vocalist-From Walls of Jericho to the Wizard of Oz soundtrack. Punk rock romance is also a fun subject to dwell on. Sometimes I get tired of all the vegan potlucks, and bike rides down by the river. But honestly that shit beats bangin' your dick on a chicks tailbone in a drunk, sweaty frenzy at Tonic........sike. Lastly, there is something about the Bay Area punk scene that I just have always had an affinity for. Probably the proximity. Anyways, I relate to this shit faar more than other stuff(call me a regionalist). There you have it. I love this band and this damn cd. Just cuz it's technically a demo I won't call it my favorite release of '09. But 2010 better watch out cuz they are scheduled to drop something proper at the end of the year. Speaking of which, they'll be taking pre-orders soon so get on that, it's seems like a pretty good package with a tote bag and all. Pre-Order Full Length





It seems kind of redundant to upload since it's already up so you can thank these dudes for putting it up!

Stompin' N Da Rompa Room



Just finished this book on Federal Prisons. The Hot House is a doozy for sure, the journalism is a little jaundiced, but that doesn't mean none of this stuff has not happened. Anyways it got me thinking about Mac Dre who spent some time incarcerated in the early 90's. While in jail he recorded raps over the phone and released an album.
A lot of people will talk shit on The Furl but I will save my arguments on his lyrical supremacy for a later post. Right now I just want people to hear some of the shit he was spitting in jail.
