Amazing album cover from Mickey Moonlight on Ed Banger. SoMe’s art direction is such large reason for the label’s success!

Sat in with Jesse from Apollo Sunshine for his early DJ gig at the Middlesex the othernight… hipped me to a Mickey Moonlight version of Sun Ra’s interplanetary music….

Mickey Moonlight – Interplanetary Music from T.A.M. Corp. on Vimeo.

Jesse learned his way around the turntables from Edan the Humble Magnificent , who coincidentally just got his own radio show for download here. Odd thing about this city, Edan was Wire Magazine’s Hip Hop artist of 2005, but still didn’t have a following here…. Still the only emcee I’ve seen who could juggle two records with one hand and hold the mic & rhyme with the other hand (although I hear J-live can do it).

We bounced out to check the ICA Experiment with Dan Deacon. It was originally going to be outdoors, but the weather didn’t hold out. The video /perfomance by Ultimate Reality was really dope, but technical problems during Deacon’s set turned the show into a great big ball of suck Bostonist has a pretty good review of the soundsystem debacle and why it was ultimately big swindle.

• 
  Matthew Africa is giving away his Best of DJ Quik Mixtape here.
• Got caught up with every album of 2008 by streaminghere. Heads were right about the fleet foxes album being aiiight.
• Future superproducer Natural Curezjust posted some new tracks… Them arrangements need more tension & release!
• The Selvedge Yard picks mid century design classics… Jens Risom’s prefabricated vacation house is a must have.
• Our homie Jamie from Stones Throw records has brought in crazy talent to the summer sunday LA series the Do Over. Great live sets from PBW, Rhettmatic, Dam Funk, Adam12, Neil Armstrong, Nu-Mark , Mike B and Cosmo Baker all catalogued for downloading pleasure.
• Free sticker printing!?
• Hey Berlin, our friend Ivo Gretner has a solo show opening June 19th at PM Galerie.

New work – also the name of a brilliant new line by A-ron – is up at the bodega – a mural by Nick Z whose 08 show with Kai Altoff was in art forum’s top 10 shows…. The mural coincides with Nick Z’s upcoming solo show at our gallery space - fourthwallproject . More on that closer to the opening on June 27th. Josh Falk, who’s flickr photos i pillaged above , just recently took down his solo show at the dope dope corduroy boutique in portland..


both Nick Z and Josh Falk are members of the uber talented crew Project SF which includes sooo many talented heads in the sneaker game.

Also, we made number 6 in the top 10 sneaker shops in the world.
#1 was UNDFTD!!! but I can’t believe they left Limited edition barcelona off the list…

The homeboy who wrote the article is working on an illustrated tribute to Sneaker Culture called “Sole Sketch Exhibition”. Hit him up at thestreetpulse.com with suggestions for models that you’d like to see included in the exhibition.

Also, we somehow ended up in Wale’s video for chillin (ft. lady gaga)…. been getting steady burn on the tele , but I haven’t seen the whole thing yet. Was dope to talk with the director Chris Robinson about how he leveraged his directing work into hyping his robot films clothing line just by dropping logo tees into videos… I’m surprised we don’t see more Violette in Vashtie’s work….but the since I’m seeing it so she doesn’t even need to do that.

stuff i consumed

• Funk flex’s blog has a ton of amazing clips & exclusives onnit. Grabbed DJ Ted Smooth’s blends off wax wednesdays – I think A-trak shouted him out in his recentpitchfork recommendations.
• Jeff Hamada’s insanely thorough documentation of designers & artists makes me think that Australia is popping off hard
• Dan from the crew let me know about villains (LA) dope dope remixing on the come up.
• ,Speaking of LA , our homey Rick Rude’s been on the come up out there!
  Download his knockout mix here. Rick Rude moved out less than a year ago and locked down most of the important residencies out there with a quickness. Much respect .
• 99 edits from Todd Terje for the deep disco heads
• Finally got a copy of All Gone 2008 in the airmail …Bodega made it in this edition with our Adidas ZX!!!
• Major Lazer’s new tour video is massive Jamaica tonight then NYC…..Also -NYC this weekend on Sunday is the Puerto Rican Pride parade – try to spot Mishka Greg & Ease there!
