Realms Of Awesome

Realms Of Awesome is a website Started by a couple Friends of mine Miguel and Jazz. It was in the works for a long time but due to some hardcore procrastination it wasn't ever put into motion until now and let me tell you these guys are really on point with the direction of their site mostly aimed at Skateboarding/Art with some psychedelic and psychological stuff thrown in too. One could call their site "magicly insane" So if you have a quick second check it out the link is below.

It's Offiicial....

We heard the rumors over and over again some of us believed it and some of us said NO WAY IT'S JUST NOT POSSIBLE!!! Well now it's official Josh Kalis has left Alien Workshop to become a Dirty Ghetto kid. This should stir up some madness...

Macaframa Hip 2 Help Benefit Race Video

Video showing off (and making me feel completely hurt) about the fact I missed this.

Next one is the mission mission. I won't be missing it this time.

Oh and this was for a good cause. It was to raise money for an SF middle school to continue it's art programs.

Like to laugh? Comedy Day this Sunday at Golden Gate Park. There's supposedly going to be over 30 comedians and my homie is selling beer there so roll through!

Buy it? You don't have to cause he made it free!

Anyway you really should cop this while you can. FJ has always been a master of mixing jazzy tracks with modern raps. You can't deny this man's talent and his work should be spread throughout the lands. Also if you didn't notice they used a pic of Dolores Park in the mission district of San Francisco for the album cover.

Oh and further proof of his talent. Watch the whole thing and listen to what he creates.

Fun In the Rain

So me and a buddy participated in the recent Martin photo scavenger hunt (race) and it was really fun.

We were each given a piece of paper with a set of locations on it. The spots were everywhere. A rider could potentially have to ride to ocean beach and take a photo of the golden gate park windmills then loop all the way back to take a photo of pier 30 or even Lusty Ladies. Basically the plan was to hit as many spots in one hour and to take a photo of yourself at each location with yourself in the picture to show you were there. You'd then have to make it back to Azaela's (starting point on Hayes and Gough) before the hour was up. For every 5 minutes you were late you'd lose 1 entire point, which was one location that you hit up.

Mike Martin threw a great race with some awesome prizes and well done mapping of San Francisco. For more info and photos from the event check out Mash's online mag.

Girls Riding Bikes

If you like seeing a girl on a bike wearing little clothing then check out theFiXFiXFiX's recent photo set of girls on bikes.

I'm starting you off on page 10 even though there's like 20+ pages of this stuff. Look through them all if you're feelin' extra pervy.

Mash SF Photo Scavenger Race

Make a music video for Common

For all those would be directors out there look no further for your big break because Common needs a music video done and he's asking random people like yourself.

The above is the promo for this train wreck. Wondering why I called it a train wreck? Well last time something like this came out (speaking directly about mtv's adventure into this "let a fan direct a video for their favorite band thingy") it ended up being terrible. Sure it's possible some second coming of Spielberg might be found amongst the green screen made videos, but how is someone possibly going to make a quality video if they don't even have common in it?

I just really don't think this is a good idea, but I hope i'm wrong. I really do.

For info on the project Check out http://current.com/common

Kid Cudi Interview

Kid Cudi stopped by to speak with DJ Semtex about his album coming out in a few short days.

To be honest this is one of the first interviews I've sat and watched with Kid Cudi in it, and he seems like a pleasant guy. During the interview around 6 minutes he busts a free style to what I think is an instrumental from his album and it's definitely a pretty good showcase of his skills.

And don't worry, no blackberries were present in the making of this freestyle.

Super Makuri VIP 01

With all the hubbub about NJS this or NJS that I thought what better way to show my opposition to it then to share this video of some Japanese dudes having fun on their track bikes to a jammin tune. Sometimes life is more fun when it doesn't make sense.

BTW in relation to the video I've heard news that Tokyo2Osaka won't be released until later next year. :'(
