Just Another Day on the Row

Thursday May 6th, 2009.
There was blood on the curb today.
Apparently these guys are in charge of cleaning it up.
Gun - shots I think.
Biohazards. Grey pales.
Downtown.

What posture and grace he has with the pale of blood.

I'm pretty sure they're twins.
I'm smelling a new CSI series.

Check out the opposite corner.
Another happy citizen.

Guru - R.I.P. April 19th, 2010

Dear Guru,
I first saw you rock out before Rage Against The Machine in Long Island.
Traveled all the way to Philly to see you once,
even saw you in New York City.
Waited outside a record shop for two hours in the summer sun just to give you daps.
For whatever reasons, you are gone now. Not forgotten.
The first time I played Moment of Truth, or the last time I put a needle to the Guru groove,
you were an inspiration.
Thanks for the memories
Sincerely,
Upperhands

Madlib Moment #2- Flight to Brazil

Number 2 in the Medicine Show Series
Madlib - Flight to Brazil

A combination of Beat Konducta, Shades of Blue,
Medicine Show, and the Mamao : Jackson Conti albums,
Flight to Brazil is a 9 - track mix of
what I call, Brazil's reaction to American music in the
1950's, 60's and 70's.
Madlib uses his intricate sampling skills to blend
samples of old Brazilian music with
Brazilian airline advertisements,
and that patented Madlib style.
Brazilian style Jazz, funk, and soul,
this album will make you reminisce about a long lost love,
while keeping your ass shaking for days.

Actual album cover...
notice the beer bottles on the ground.
Killer!

Compact Disc has a two page illustration by contemporary artists:
by Jeff Jank, Currier and Ives.
