Coffee, Knob Feel and Hipsters

Coffee in your office is not as altruistic as you may have thought

A site dedicated to the feel of knobs on electrical equipment.

I don’t know why I never made this connection before

I left the safety of The Hill to head way the fuck out there.

Tuesday Forecast- New Music Releases

To start it off, Aceyalone drops a new one. Crossing my fingers it’s more All Balls Don’t Bounce/Book of Human language than the sadly mediocre Lightning Strikes but regardless he’s still a top emcee. The individuals in Ugly Heroes (Apollo Brown, Verbal Kent, Red Pill) haven’t been in the game quite as long but they’ve all paid their dues, this should be a great straight up hip hop gem. And did you hear Tricky’s got a new one out? Yep, he does indeed. Also check out some chill instrumental electro-soul from detroit, blues-funk from africa, and some other audio weirdness including lo-fi surf punk from New Zealand via L.A. Cheers.

Stop and Frisk, Roaches and Chicago

Imagine if cops would stop white people with iPods in Manhattan to search for pirated MP3s.

Dammit roaches are evolving much to my dismay.

Isolated tracks of Chicago’s “25 or 6 to 4″.

They hatin' trying to catch me rolling dirty.

You Know a Gay Person

What people need to recognize is within the NFL, NBA, MBL, NCAA, Boy Scouts, your church, your community, your family and your planet is that, it’s not a case of “There are no gay people in (any of the previously mentioned)” it’s that they sadly they can’t be open about it because they have to deal with a bunch of assholes.
