The third full-length album from Minneapolis native P.O.S. falls into the same category as recent releases by El-P and Saul Williams, brilliantly unlistenable.
Let me clarify that by stating how utterly amazing those two releases were by the aforementioned artists, both in production and lyrical content. But you don’t just ride around to The [...]

Husband and wife recently made a visit to Puerto Rico, where Jerri Wilker captured these images… They stayed at a resort in Rio Grande, just a few miles from the only rainforest on U.S. soil, El Yunque National Park, and took time to see the sites in Old San Juan.

For better or worse, the NBA All-Star Weekend came and went before my very eyes, in high-definition. Here’s proof I remember at least a little bit of it before I offer up my regular-season ending predictions…
All-Star Sunday. Wow. From the intro to it’s finale, how much fun was that shit? From watching [...]

As I sit here preparing to write a couple album reviews (not really reviews, just a couple short articles explaining why I like what I like in a charmingly obnoxious manner that infiltrates your brain matter, therefore causing you to deeply respect my opinion and adhere to it’s merits), I feel obligated to [...]
