PLANET PEOPLE

So anyway, I could do the whole, sorry for my absence thing, say I’m going to be around more ect. but I think we’ll just skip it this time.  I will say there is a ripe harvest of blog materials out there in the world right now, and if I wasn’t habitually waking up at 2 in the afternoon, maybe I’d blog more than I have been.  Be the change you want in the world.  Somebody famous said that.  But anyways, I saw this news broadcast on youtube tonight, and I just can’t keep it to myself.  I am not familiar with the case in discussion, and it sounds like a very sad one, but but isn’t this one of the strangest video concepts ever? Reporter in the parking lot holding a cellphone up to a microphone? Whoever came up with that I’d like to shake their hand.  Its dark black comedic genius.

Melissa Huckaby phone interview CBS 5 News about Sandra Cantu

WAIT A SECOND!!! did he trick her?  Is that what this is?  He didn’t tell her she was on speakerphone.  Or am I losing it?  This shit is nuts.

Tonight, come to Verdugo Bar in Eagle Rock where I’ll maxing wax with the Harrington bros for the Bang-Ga-Wrong party.

Still early in my Buenos Aires extravaganza, I’ve seen good things. Dick El Demasiado, the Dutchman, has a strange, and worthy take on Cumbia. ¿Cumbia Villera? ¿Cumbia Experimental?

Today Incase launched the Bang-Ga-Wrong mix I did for their artist colaboration with Steven Harrington. I grabbed a bunch of 45’s from Steven’s collection and put together a mix of early dancehall, dub and roots reggae as a supplement to Steven’s Incase Bag.
