Willie Colon Y Ruben Blades 'Plastico'

Record diggin' in Old San Juan

Came across this LP and many more of all musical stylings at shop in Old San Juan. Seen these stickers all over NYC not sure what they hell they are but gotta give him/her props for getting up.

Art & Sole

Putting a little pep in your step, glide in your stride...

Captain Sensible "WOT"

One of the many DJ's who played Lit's 9 year anniversary party last week dropped this gem. My boy Brant shazamed it for us, kinda embarrassing for two DJ's but this is the digital age...gotta keep up.

Virtual DJ

http://www.virtualdj.com/

Not sure how I feel about this but at least it's a free download. Looks and acts much like serato. Haven't fucked with it yet but can't seem to figure out how to work it with only one arrow pointer. I'm just not that fast.

Spring Preview

As seen down the block from DQM, spring in full bloom on this mid-February day!

Stretch & Bobbito WKCR 20th

Damn something is off with the settings on my camera, took tons of pics but most are F'd up. Bottom is DJ Premier gettin' crowd hyped. Notables who graced the blunt filled stage: Masta Ace, Buckshot, Raekwon, Clark Kent, Nice & Smooth, Beatnuts, too many others. A fitting tribute/reunion with speeches, videos at WKCR shot in 90's, snaps and laughs all night long.

Denim Launch Party at Adidas Originals Soho

No joke I was at Post Office yesterday shipping Shaun Escoffery's "Days Like This" 2x12" to Daytona Beach and when I got to this party coupla hours later Crazy Legs put it on as I walk in the door. Didn't peep the denim collection, I'm a Levi's die-hard, but saw these kicks among other monstrosities... I don't know who Jeremy Scott is but the shit he does with Adidas is nasty and can't think of a reason for them to be jocking Star Wars, lame.

Latest tech-geek news...

Straight from Copenhagen these are purportedly a DJ's dream. For $199 i'm guessing that's trust-fund DJ's.

TDK Boombox

Ghetto-fab-blaster coming this winter. 3 speaker is going for $499 and there's a 2 speaker with a leather strap for $399.

Adidas Faded Stripe Cardigan

I Wonder if Mr. Rogers would rock this...

Terrace Martin & Murs - Fresh Kicks

Going going gone...sold (out)

This stretch on lower 2nd ave still gritty as ever but will soon be a memory and probably supplanted by some overpriced glass monstrosity. Progress...ain't it a bitch?!

Lou Donaldson "Everything I Do Gonh Be Funky"

From the Lp Everything I Play Is Funky bought at A-1 records yesterday. Sampled by Kurious and US3 among others.

2'12" shoot with Ricky Powell day 2

Day started early with Ricky the first on the scene at Flightclub on Broadway. He did a little shopping and a lot of shit talking and even got in a lay-up drill. Ended up gettin' this pair of Nike SB Blazers. Then it was off to A-1 records shop more of the same, left with Lou Donaldson's "Everything I Play Is Funky". Vegan lunch at Caravan of Dreams and last stop to pay homage to Max Fish.
