Dope! Bag it



I just bought a an InCase bag and now I'm a fan.
Apparently they have made bags for and with John Mayer (cool blog BTW).


And they collab with artists on their products.

A cool company to keep an eye on.

Someday

I want to have a band with like 46 people on stage. We'll be playing like 3 different songs at once, and nobody will be the wiser.

In the meantime, make it past 90 choreographed seconds, and this is pretty nice:

he IS legend



An amazing documentary about a music legend. I really got into hip-hop off of Big Daddy Kane's "Ain't No Half Steppin'".
I have memories of LL rockin' bells and begged my father for Dana Dane's "Nightmares" 12" but it was really the album "It's a Big Daddy Thing" (and later Tribe's ...Instinctive Travels...") that cemented hip-hop as my music of choice.

This is an amazing documentary that really
(and finally) gives the man his due.

Wiki:"Ice-T refers to Kane in his song "Midnight":
"The sound's up loud/ To attract attention/ .../
Bumping Big Daddy/ The nigga was definitely flowing".
It is uncommon in hip hop recordings of that time for
one rapper to display such admiration for another."

RE: Kindle

Kindle product shot

Finally we are getting a little Star-Trekky! And it looks like Amazon is giving Apple a run for it's money on more that just the music front.

little iPod lost (iBlock it!)



As a person who has had his last two iPods stolen (from Waikiki, Hawaii. The locals can tell a Thrifty rental car even without any markings, and they target them. The rental agent confirmed this after the fact, saying it happens often), I think this is a great idea! And I will be installing this on my next iPod (once I lose the sour taste in my mouth from having to pay again!)

And don't expect any help from Apple. Even though you are prompted to register your iPod though iTunes, they don't keep track of your iPod even though the serial number is stored on your computer through iTunes. I can only assume that Apple is happy that you have to buy another.
