MOTHRA .:Apr 22 09:.
The other day, coming home from work, I noticed a ginormous moth chillin near my front door:
Dude, this crazy insect was MASSIVE, like almost bigger than a business card!!!
This reminded me of another wild sighting in my patio. At first I thought it was a leaf, but upon closer inspection, I realized it was a....
This freakin' widow on 'roids carried Dr. Curt Connors at least 12 feet up from the ground to the patio roof!
here's some more wildlife near my pad:

PHX Diggs .:Apr 21 09:.
So on my trip to Phoenix I had a few hours to spare to check out some
records shop. Apparently this past Saturday was Vinyl Record Day.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to dig on Saturday but was able to get out
for a few on Sunday. On Saturday I did find a record shop but
unfortunately it closed down:

On
Sunday, I checked out this other spot which was also closed. I peaked
inside and it appeared to be a spot that had a lot of electronic,
house, drum and bass. They had shirts for sale and other things as far
as I could tell.

After
leaving this spot I cruised over to a spot called Zia Records on
University in Tempe right next to ASU. It kind of reminded me of a
smaller version of Rasputin's. They sold vinyl, dvds, cd and other
music related items. Cool spot but the record section wasn't so big.
Apparently they have 6-7 locations in the Phoenix area and they all
carry vinyl. I left a bunch of homegrown blend stickers in the flyer
section and picked up a couple of jazz records.

I
only had time to check out one more spot before catching my flight back
to San Diego. I was planning on going to this spot called Revolver
Records, but as I was cruising down University I spotted this other
record shop and decided to stop:
This place probably had a lot of records all over the place. In fact they had records overflowing outside:
The
store had a really big jazz and blues collection. The hip hop section
was ok and mainly the records were all used. There was punk and rock
stuff and a whole lot more. I could have dug at this spot for a good
part of the day but I was pretty tired and was running out of time. I
picked up a couple of hip hop records and some Irish Celtic record. 

I
also left a stack of HGB stickers on the counter at this store. They
sold old turntables and this place definitely reminded me of a record
collector spot. Some of the guys in the crew are all elitist about
their dig spots and have even gone as far as referring to their spots
as "Secret Spot". Personally, recording digging is become more and
more of a lost art in dj'ing I am happy to share any information I have
about where to pickup vinyl. More and more people are playing serato
"discs" and don't even have real records anymore. Support your local
record shops.

90 Degrees On a Sunday .:Apr 21 09:.
Nam (FlavorInnovator),
myself, Romali, and Jen BBQ'd some dogs, nd a nice tri-tip to celebrate
the hottest day of the year so far. We started getting restless, so we
ended up carving spears out of branches, while taking shots of vodka,
and ended the night cooling off at the pool with a bunch of
Samoans...another day in the burbs. Good times.
Sammie destoying things as usual.





Spear Chuckin' Gang




Ended
up taking pics at the building across the street...for what reason? I
don't know....other than us being faded off our asses. Yes...I am
holding Romali's foot...no homo. Next time we're making slingshots.

For my fans of "Life Goes On" .:Apr 17 09:.
The only known record of Corky's performance of "Fight the Power" from the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance at Hill Valley High School in 1955.
Brew Ha Ha .:Apr 13 09:.
Came across an old live mix from 2005. We used to have a Saturday gig at the La Jolla Brew House, so one night i brought this little mp3 player with a line-in and record feature. This particular night was it me and Gav spinning. Man we had so many fond and not so fond memories from that place.
I remember we had beef with one of the bartenders who thought a brawl would break out just cuz we were playing indy/underground hip hop. He wanted us to stick to a 90's Golden Age format to keep the peace. I mean if fools wanna fight, they are gonna fight--regardless of what record is playing! I wish we recorded the debate between him, Jaba, & I regarding the true meaning of "hip hop" music. Y'all would be laughing...
But I digress. One of the good memories from that spot is we kept on doing what we did best, playing everything from L.O.N.S to Longevity Crew, EPMD to Edan, MC Hammer to MF Doom.
You can't keep HGB in a box, son!!!
