"The traffic lights they turn blue tomorrow And shine their emptiness down on my bed, The tiny island sags downstream 'Cos the life they'd lived is dead."-JIMI HENDRIX (r.i.p. mitch mitchell)

PLAY LOUDER!!! I get super excited whenever I play drums,!*^%$ I break a lot of sticks, pedals, cymbals,, and pound my way out of time constantly, I tried to play with a click but I play to loud to hear it, I got good ear buds, and now I play 20 to 30 random songs off my ipod every morning to start my day and get my chops up, dont laugh when I fuck up, i'll only play louder to cover up
i cheated and skipped over some songs i didnt feel like playing, but you have to give me credit for powering through "tell it to my heart" by taylor dane, here's the playlist from this morning, (i'm still sitting in my boxers as i write this) Outkast,Ratatat,Blink 182,Timbaland Nelly Furtado,Mickey Avalon,50 cent,Lil Wayne,Peaches,Justin Timberlake,Taylor Dane,Neptunes,Pixies,Run DMC,Dead prez,T.I.,Harold Faltermeyer, cut to 6 years ago, here i am celebrating my solo show in 2003 at 111 minna, in san francisco, i jammed all night with my friends,Ted Shred, Cutsoquick and Goldenchyld from Fingerbangerz, the C'mish and Snackmaster, who knew less than 72 hours later,I'd be in a japanese prison(this was filmed by niem, go here to see more shit from that night)

sometimes people who buy my art, contact me later and ask for my advice on how i think they should frame my art , the answer to this is simple, to accentuate and bring out the best qualities of my art, always frame the art between giant robot toys and handsome asian boys
On the day when the U.S. made history by inaugurating its first African-American president, it was a surreal experience at the Sundance Film Festival to watch Black Dynamite, a movie that gleefully rocks every black stereotype imaginable.
That's the whole point of it. Black Dynamite, which sold for $2 million (U.S.) to Sony Pictures following its huge reception here and which is due in theatres this summer, is in its own perverse way every bit as empowering as Barack Obama's rise to glory. A sequel is already planned.--Peter Howell ,Movie Critic
Art played a bigger role in this presidential election than ever before. WNYC's Siddartha Mitter talked to Shepard Fairey,David Choe, and Ron English and some other Obama image makers, who confessed that victory puts them in a tricky situation.(i was super sick that day i stopped the interview every 5 minutes to hock loogeys, unfortunately all edited out)

here's a letter from joey
Hey David,
I don't want to start fanning out or anything, but Me and my friend have recently started following your Thumbs Up series on VBS.TV and we like it a lot. I don't think I will ever have the guts to stop what I'm doing and go around the country hitch hiking and train hopping for an extended period of time. I do like to travel and recently I went to Memphis with a few of my friends on a road trip. We stopped at the Casablanca Cafe (The restaurant is called Casablanca Grill now) while we were there and got to see the Jag. We talked to Aimer about you and Harry and he said he remembered you guys and he wanted me to show him the video on youtube. He said we were the second group of people to talk to him about the video that week. We got some pictures with him and if you would like I could e-mail you those.
Either way I was just hoping to say hi, tell you about my Memphis trip, and tell you that your show is really awesome. I can't wait to see season 3. I hope to hear back from you soon.
