This past weekend my son and I played at the Grand Re-Opening of Exile on Main Street records and Dandelion vintage clothing shop. I asked him to pick a cover for us to play and he chose this one. Here are the Femmes live (from the early 90's). Enjoy.

I walked into my local record store on Friday (shouts out to Exile on Main Street) and the first thing I saw was a bootleg dubplate from Chris Macro - King Tubby vs. Wu Tang. Sold. The New Zealand selector has a string of uber-cool mash ups on his site and this one is a no brainer. Dig the video for Brooklyn Battleaxe and go cop that shit.

I didn't pick up a basketball until 8th grade. I was terrible. No fundamentals. No common sense. After the season my folks thought I was through - considering that I spent most of my time on the bench - even during B Team games. That summer I sought out my future Freshman coach and asked him what I should work on. He said, "Free throws and layups". So everyday that summer (and I do mean every day) I would hit the courts armed with my boombox and License to Ill. I put together a shooting routine that would span the length of the album. So, during the summer of 1987, every workout started with "Rhymin and Stealin". I started that year as a Freshman.

This Saturday at our local independent record store, Exile on Main Street, myself and DJ Belly will be spinning all Beasties all day. Starting at the top.

Tomorrow is Record Store Day - a celebration of independent record stores around the world. Hip labels will be offering up exclusive releases just for the day. Most locations will feature in-store performances (including our own Exile on Main Street). I'll be playing and so will many of my talented pals. Here's a peek at an RSD exclusive by Zara McFarlane. Dig.

I'm back!  Surgery was successful - I'm recovering nicely.  It's Friday!  I'm taking my son to meet Talib Kweli tonight.  He'll being doing a meet-and-greet at Exile On Main Street at 6pm.  Don't sleep.
