GUCCI MAN SPIT!

Classic Freestyle from our favorite rapper out - gucci is nutty meng'

GUCCI MAN LE FLAIR!!!

EastBound and Down

so about about two years ago I went to see this independent comedy flik "The Foot Fist Way" about an instructor of Taekwondo in a small southern town who has a shitload of issues. Danny R. McBride as Fred Simmons is one of the most classic character's i've ever seen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Foot_Fist_Way). I guess HBO loved the movie too because they adopted the same character and created a new HBO comedy series called EastBound and Down. This show is bonkers!!!

The main dude is Kenny Powers and he is a retired relief pitcher who teaches phys ed in a grammar school but is trying to make a comeback. Trust me folks -- this show is HI-LARIOUS!!! Chief a fatty and enjoy.

Nick Drake - very ill

I just came across the artist Nick Drake. I'm a huge fan of Elliot Smith and apparently this dude has some eery similarities. I'd love to chop up a sample of some nick drake stuff and incorporate it into our music somehow.

Check him out

Charl also hooked us up with his man CMilz who also had some fire -- so we collected 5 or 6 fuego tracks from him.

Lots of writing to do! gotta run

Books I'm reading

These are the last 3 books i've read -- I def recommend all of em --

Under the Volcano (this is an intense read -- but def a must for anyone who drinks as hard as me)

Product Description

Geoffrey Firmin, a former British consul, has come to Quauhnahuac, Mexico. His debilitating malaise is drinking, an activity that has overshadowed his life. On the most fateful day of the consul's life—the Day of the Dead, 1938—his wife, Yvonne, arrives in Quauhnahuac, inspired by a vision of life together away from Mexico and the circumstances that have driven their relationship to the brink of collapse. She is determined to rescue Firmin and their failing marriage, but her mission is further complicated by the presence of Hugh, the consul's half brother, and Jacques, a childhood friend. The events of this one significant day unfold against an unforgettable backdrop of a Mexico at once magical and diabolical.

Under the Volcano remains one of literature's most powerful and lyrical statements on the human condition, and a brilliant portrayal of one man's constant struggle against the elemental forces that threaten to destroy him.
Under the Volcano

World War Z (a must read for any zombie/sci-fi fanatic)
World War Z
Brooks, the author of the determinedly straight-faced parody The Zombie Survival Guide (2003), returns in all seriousness to the zombie theme for his second outing, a future history in the style of Theodore Judson's Fitzpatrick's War. Brooks tells the story of the world's desperate battle against the zombie threat with a series of first-person accounts "as told to the author" by various characters around the world. A Chinese doctor encounters one of the earliest zombie cases at a time when the Chinese government is ruthlessly suppressing any information about the outbreak that will soon spread across the globe. The tale then follows the outbreak via testimony of smugglers, intelligence officials, military personnel and many others who struggle to defeat the zombie menace. Despite its implausible premise and choppy delivery, the novel is surprisingly hard to put down. The subtle, and not so subtle, jabs at various contemporary politicians and policies are an added bonus.

SemioText(e) -- sick collection of sci-fi short stories

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Collection of SF I Own, December 29, 2000
By Rich Gilmour "Reesh" (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
This review is from: Semiotext (E) Sf (Paperback)
What happens when you take the likes of Burroughs, Gibson, Hakim Bey, Robert Anton Wilson and other speculative fiction greats, and invite them to submit their most shocking, break-your-mental-state stories? You get Semiotext(S) SF, a book that invites you to get high with Bigfoot on the side of a lonley highway; a book that let's you watch, in step-by-step medical detail, Jane Fonda's boob job; a book that includes a neat-o flip-book animation of a mechanical male organ interfacing with it's mechanical female counterpart. This collection of stories will make you laugh out loud as well as lead you down the dark allies and blind corners of your psyche where you'll roll your windows up and lock your doors....
