“STEP UP YOUR THOUGHT GAME, LAMES!”

Feb 28th, 2009 | By JC | Category: - MUSIC, -- Features, Featured Articles, –– TimS

By – TimS
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 [...]



“IF THERE’S CRACK IN THE BASEMENT, CRACK HEADS STAND ADJACENT”

Feb 18th, 2009 | By JC | Category: - MUSIC, -- Features, Featured Articles, –– TimS

By – TimS
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 [...]



“DIE TODAY, LIVE FOREVER”

You die one day and you go on to live forever. At least in the hearts and minds of the people you’ve impacted in some form or another during the course of your existence.
That dawned on me last night as I finished browsing the music selections at Park Ave. CDs in Winter Park. [...]



“A MACAFRAMA BIKE RIDE”

Feb 9th, 2009 | By JC | Category: - ART, - MUSIC, -- Video

With the accompanying sounds of “I’m Bound to Pack It Up” by the White Stripes, take a bike ride with San Francisco’s Macaframa…(you’ll need to turn up the audio)

Should I decide to further expand on these thoughts of mine maybe I’ll do so here. Then again maybe not. But here goes in the meantime… (photo by Joel Martinez)

Thought…Am I wrong for complaining about the temperature dropping below the 30-degree mark here in Florida while family and friends suffer far worse conditions elsewhere [...]



“I MADE A SUPER BOWL BET”

Feb 3rd, 2009 | By JC | Category: - SPORTS, -- Football, Featured Articles, –– TimS

By – TimS
I made a bet. Not a bet involving money or humiliating acts of any sort. But a bet I felt, had I won, the reward would outweigh the punishment had I lost. That bet was on the Super Bowl. If the Cardinals pulled off an upset my buddy Joe from the Steel City [...]



“AND THEN THERE WERE FIVE”

Feb 1st, 2009 | By JC | Category: - SPORTS, -- Football, –– J. Charles

Today the Arizona Cardinals become the ninth NFL team all-time to play in their first and only Super Bowl. That appearance concludes a recent 10-year run in which six other first-timers have also qualified for the greatest spectacle in American sports. It’s just another reminder though of the misery that five forgotten franchises [...]
