I'm not a huge stones throw fan. I think their catalog, with the exception of Koushik and the Now-Again stuff, is vastly overrated. If you dig this video you can order his new album Out My Windows direct from StonesThrow. Be prepared for a trip through modern sample driven psychedelia.

Smiths
YO BLOG READERS
So I went skating with a couple of friends on Friday nothing major just Mililani Skatepark and the Kipapa Elementary courts. Man I can't remember the last trick that I learned, that I've actually landed pretty consistently, but this is one I'll never forget! I remember Dr. Steven telling me to start at the beginning of the rail because "you'll get the feel more." After missing the rail like three or four times I was finally able to lock in and slide just a bit. A few more tries and I was landing on my board, not clean, but on the board! The first time I landed it, i wanted to make sure it wasn't a fluke so I kept at it and sure enough if things lined up correctly I was able to land it. One of the first thoughts that came into my head was the the YouTube Video where Nobody says " there's like a thing you get in your stomach, it's stupid you know, it gets you off, it appeals to your soul," and he goes on to say "nothing feels this good." I remember going into record stores and finding records that made me happy, but now a days I go to three or four record stores and come up with nothing. It's just not the same doing an Ebay search and "finding" a record that way. The only thing in my life that's making me feel truly happy is skating and the joys that I get learning and landing new tricks.

What Happened to "Underground" Rap
Man, I miss fast raps and "abstract" beats
I'm in love with Ahmuse. haha, naw in all seriousness this kind of rap died fast.
Ceschi is still killing it though. Fake Flowers and The Hate Francisco False are two of the finest albums I have on CD.
RAER!!! STAPLEMOUTH + Demune. The world is waiting for your album Staples!
If you're feeling any of the above. This is pretty much the essential compilation put out by the Plague Language label. This CD will never be printed again and a lot of the artists aren't making music anymore. It has drawn comparisons many times to Anticon, but I honestly believe that these guys took where Anticon left off and went into their own world.
