Xenophanes by Omar Rodriguez Lopez

Xenophanes by Omar Rodriguez Lopez It’s been awhile since I’ve heard some great guitar albums outside of the realm of Tony MacAlpine, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai and all of the other virtuosos that I’m fond of. At first listen, I thought “this is ...

@Muthawit Well, R. Crumb's The Book of Genesis is a literal illustration. There aren't any drawings of Mr. Natural as God, Cheryl Borck (sp) as Lillith or Flakey Foont as Moses.

I also love the book Crumb did about Kafka's life. What a great event to be at.

I got R. Crumb's Coffee Table Art Book for Christmas actually awhile back. What I admire about R. Crumb is that he stayed true to his art and still broke through.

I completely dig R. Crumb. I was at a "used" bookstore a few years back and picked up a new copy of R. Crumb's Coffee Table Art Book for five bucks. "Fools," I thought. Too bad they only had one copy. It's great that you had the chance to meet an...

15 Years in the Making

Originally from Ghettopunkrocker.com: http://ghettopunkrocker.com/blog/?p=492

To paraphrase the words of the “Don Mega” Ice Cube, October 27th 2009 was a good day. Literally a week before this day, I was checking my Facebook page and I noticed a… Continue

Leila Adu's Dark Joan review

Are You Freaking Serious?!

When I read the Huffington Post's editorial entitled "Hey Michael Steele Don't Forget the Watermelon" by Earl Ofari Hutchinson, all I could think was "ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS?!"

Okay, here's the deal. Due to pre-civil rights "white is right" brainwashing, a lot of black families had to adhere to the social norms at that time. But, thanks to Civil Rights and black empowering movements, those same families embraced there blackness and progressed into a more open mindset. But, at that same time,… Continue

The Obligatory Tirade Against The Vultures and Buzzards Called The Media...

He's a grown man. And he does deal with things differently. I'm sure he'll miss us. I KNOW I'll miss him.

I made my hotel reservations tonight for DC! Yeah! We'll be chillin at the posh Holiday Inn. Lookin forward to meeting you, Sketch. Peace.
