Blue Scholars – Coffee and Snow December 31, 2008
Posted by thaswassup in Music, Seattle, Video.3 comments
I got a text hella early in the morning on xmas eve asking if I wanna help film a music video in the neighborhood. Too tired and too sick of the snow to do this shit! LOL but on the serious side it captures a nice snapshot of how crippling the weeklong snowstorm was. I’m just glad it’s all melted away, along with the memories. Good job guys.
Jill vs. Erykah December 22, 2008

I was one of the lucky ones to attend this night in SF last month, and it’s now online!
Devil’s Pie Presents:
Erykah vs. Jill night courtesy of DJ Phatrick (Do D.A.T. on the mic)
What is it, you ask? At SF’s Namu Bar, Phatrick basically mixes the best of Erykah and Jill Scott for a couple hours, and the crowd decides the winner (via reactions, requests, etc.). Namu Bar is lacking in square footage, which made this night hella perfect for dancing with the homies or with the one special homie. The party even spilled out to the sidewalk, where folks kept dancing in the cold-ass weather. So who wins? Listen and find out.
Thanks Phatty!

The neighbors decided to pull a prank on us last night, but I was able to creep up on them from the side of the house, armed with snowballs. Very clever though, guys….maybe i’ll do the opposite and set your front door on fire!!!

Ultimate Breaks & Beats: The Complete Collection USB Flash Drive
Now in convenient USB format – the ultimate spoiler! Street Beat’s immortal Ultimate Breaks & Beats series has been a staple at the Lab and in DJs’ lives for years, and now that the series is seemingly over and done, they’ve gone all out for this collection. This USB flash drive contains EVERY VOLUME (#1-25) that UBB ever released, and each track is remastered and presented in high-quality digital format (AIFF files) with BPM, year of creation and cover art already embedded. Also included on the drive is a 68-page PDF booklet featuring front and back artwork from all 25 jackets in glorious full color, complete track listing, and a short history of the UBB series. Needless to say, this is a huge boon (not to mention a time-saver) for a lot of Serato DJs, but you don’t even need to be a DJ to appreciate this shit: load ‘em on to your iPod and let ‘em rip. I gotta say, for 12 hours of music, this ain’t a bad deal at all. 174 tracks; approx. 8GB of data; 12 hours total.
$89.00 from www.turntablelab.com
My take: UBB is probably the most controversial compilation ever made for DJs, mostly used by DJs who probably won’t admit to using it. Diggers understand/acknowledge/tolerate it, but would rather have the original pressings. This would be dope to own for the history behind it, plus the packaging is pretty dope.
It’s snowing… December 18, 2008

Woke up to snow today. It’s still snowing with no signs of letting up.
Time to catch up on reading, unopened and/or unwatched DVD’s and Lego Star Wars with my wife 
It feels like a Spam fried rice day, too. With scrambled eggs.
Be safe out there…

ILPS HAILS JOURNALIST FOR HURLING SHOES AT BUSH December 15, 2008

Press Statement // 15 December 2008
The International League of Peoples’ Struggle joins the Iraqi and Arab peoples and the peoples of the entire world in hailing the journalist Muntadhar al-Zeidi of Cairo-based Al-Bahgdadia as a hero for hurling his shoes at the US imperialist chieftain and No. 1war criminal and terrorist George W. Bush.
When he hurled his shoes at Bush, Al-Zeidi clearly expressed the pain and suffering as well as the resistance of the Iraqi people when he shouted at Bush, “This is a farewell kiss, you dog. This is from the widows, orphans and those you have killed in Iraq.
Hurling the shoes at Bush expresses the contempt and condemnation of the people for the horrendous crimes of aggression and occupation committed by Bush against Iraq and the Iraqi people. It is a meaningful and courageous act, a powerful symbolic act of protest witnessed by the people of the world through television and other mass media.
The crimes of Bush include the killing and wounding of millions of Iraqi people, the destruction of the social and economic infrastructure of Iraq, US seizure and control of Iraqi oil and other resources and the perpetuation of US military bases and forces through the US security pact with the Iraqi puppet regime.
The International League of Peoples’ Struggle condemns the physical and psychological torture that the hero of the Arab people, Muntadhar al-Zeidi, is being subjected to and demands his immediate release from the clutches of his US and Iraqi puppet interrogators and torturers.
- Prof. Jose Maria Sison, Chairman, International Coordinating Committee, International League of Peoples’ Struggle
THASWASSUP! Featured Post: Holladaze Mixtapes! December 15, 2008

DJ Daps1 presents: Holladaze Mixtapes!
Created in 2004 and 2006, i’m making these available for DL again. Because the December holidays are corporate-sponsored and lacking soul, find your happiness in hanging out with good folks, family, pets and imaginary robot friends. The “remixed” tracks on here (sorry for the lack of tracklistings) were DLed from DJ Z-Trip’s message board (hella long time ago) and were not made by me. The mix isn’t perfect but you won’t notice it if you’re drinking mad amounts of special egg nog and turning this mix up to make those long conversations with distant relatives easier.
