OK So we had some leftover Rudy's from my dad that he bought for sxsw. Talking Turkey and Brisket. Here's a nice alternate use I came up with for it 1. Make a baked potato in the microwave (7 min) 2. Grill up some white and red onion together 3. Reheat Turkey (option: and Brisket) on a pan 4. Take potato out of microwave....put on butter and a little light brown sugar 5. Put on onions, turkey and brisket 6. Sprinkle green herbs (italian mix) on top 7. optional: BBQ sauce I made [...]

this era of rap reminds me of Matt Schwaush.

keepin in real....thanks KAZI!

Join me, for a journey into the world of vintage music electronics repair and modification... Our subject, the Ensoniq EPS. Don't know it? Sure you do!!! Ever heard Wu-Tang's 36 Chambers? You've heard this keyboard. It was the precursor to the uber-popular ASR-10. It's a very characteristic 13-bit sampler beamed to us from 1988. Low RAM in this one (480k) means you gots to get real creative . Anyway, I was given this keyboard, and immediately dug it. I already had a soft-spot for the ESQ-1, and this is basically like it's sampling brother. The only problem [...]

....Special report from certified-homie Hayden Bagot.... Hayden from Flying Turns here. We caught a DJ performance from Woolfy last year during SXSW that left us throttled. He completely stole the show and then got off the decks to drink and dance with us while his label-mates on DFA records pushed on further into disco-house territory. We woke up the next day in pieces but knew we had to bring back the man who has killed parties, released on popular labels (DFA, Rong, and Permanent Vacation), and performed his records with a touring live [...]

Taken while replacing a broken belt in my Sony TC-K1A Cassette Tape Deck. Amazing machine! My crappy pictures do this thing no justice. Not to mention, built-in RCA cords!

From bleacherreport.com. I love to hate this guy. OK, so I don't know exactly how, but I keep finding these links that are like "the 50 worst NFL coaches" or, this weeks edition "the 50 worst Championship teams in all of sports." The list is exactly what it sound like...some guy going "sure he won the superbowl, but his all time won loss percentage was a paltry .569 . Or something like that (one of the coaches even had a winning record, srsly). It is really absurd. He puts the [...]

Update: The Hakeem interview went well. Aside from some audio fidelity issues (this was a phone interview) and a polite decline of my request for a voicemail drop ("Wassup this is Dream, shake out a message for my all-star friend Dan Gentile") the interview went pretty well. We spoke for 40 minutes (he talks fairly slow). I learned: Despite his website's statement that he has a "private palace" in Jordan it is just a small house. He was upset about this, seems like somebody's gonna get fired. He would also love to have Michael [...]

We interrupt these awesome basketball Dream posts to bring you your quarterly nerd report: Having trouble backing up your Ensoniq EPS Classic ( wiki ) sound disks? I was. I've been using software called Omniflop which basically reads your non-pc formatted disks as raw as possible, then saves that as an 'image' onto a computer...which it can later use to recreate the floppy. I ran into some problems with some EPS disks not wanting to read...hey, the most recent date on any of these 1989, so we can [...]

hey there Blogermanics! or should i say "Legomanics"!! I thought there was no point to smooth jazz music....no environment where it was like "oh yeah, thats the stuff". I am happy to report I am wrong. When looking for video evidence of this: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn /page2/story?id=6037737&sportC at=ncf on youtube (amazing) I came across this: ps howd that hakeem thing go? Everything you dr34med about?

The Dream has agreed to let me interview him. Bloggermaniacs keep your eyes peeled for the full story next week.

So I'm trying to interview Hakeem Olajuwon for my other blog . The reason for this post is to let you know that Hakeem's PR representation casually calls him Dream, as in, "I will speak to Dream today about this matter." Keep your fingers crossed bloggermaniacs.

Also, Hakeem is as serious about fashion as he is basketball.
