rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6.....

Never knew there was a video for this.


Missing link between Rakim and Big L and Wu-Tang?

game over

Killing time on the interweb. Jeremy Honore gets worked on 09/09/9
Horrific crash. Look how little of his bike is left. Ughhh.

devil in the details.

"To put it more bluntly, the government is putting itself in the uncomfortable position of subsidizing both the costs of treating Type 2 diabetes and the consumption of high-fructose corn syrup."
Runs the quote from this Mark Pollen NY Times editorial. Worth a read as it highlights the real interconneted nature of health and food policy in a way that is a little more substantial than the "Obama is going to ban your twinkies" that town-hall disrupters are presenting.

A highlight from Shell's piece
"While industry sponsored "pundits" and radio shock jocks rant on and on about "food nannies" limiting our "choices," for millions of low income Americans there is no real choice--they buy what they can afford, and what they can afford is predetermined by a politically driven agricultural and retailing system over which they have very little say or control."

80s Babies




Some primitive corpse paint at work? Classic track. I missed out on a lot of post-punk and English shit cause I thought it was "art-wing rock". Been catching up for years. Thanks to T.Stahle for posting the link on FB

Youtube can be a hell of a thing.

Sublime (even for a solo dork in shades....)




Absurd

another forgotten classic



One dude dead(RIP), one dude in Guns and Roses, the other dude a painter, and the final dude a singer/songwriter. Who would have guessed it. I don't know about the 81 tag on this video(Stink came out in 82 so it's possible), but it is killer none the less.

Another killer. This is what should have been playing on that radio in the boombox scene of that John Cusack movie....
