SLEEP IS FOR THE...?

So, I was reading this article the other day that said you can hack your brain into only sleeping 2 hours a day. Yeah, that's what I said too. Bullshit. And WHY would anybody wanna do that, anyway? Well, I've noticed a few of my compatriots burn the same midnight lamp I do. So, can we adjust our bodies to a schedule of only REM sleep? Should we? I'll include a link to the article too, because I thought LONG and hard on that one. You can't say it doesn't sound good. Or can you? Comments are open and welcome...

ONE LOVE TOUR

Chicago, I'VE been waiting for this one. Never got to see Capleton live, but I'm going THIS time. Anthony B., Cocoa Tea, Jah Thunda ALL @ the Cubby Bear!!! Hopefully I'll see you there. Bring wraps, I'll have filler...

DRAPETOMANIA

Drapetomaina is what I'm calling these songs that just HAD to get out. Not quite enough for an official EP, but didn't fit the album, either. This is me, produced by Midas Wells... Enjoy...

BIG ASS ART POST #1

("Reach" by EL KITCH TASSO, Germany 2001)
So, all day y'all probably thought I was done posting for a while, eh...? NOT SO!!! Went through a li'l visual art with my bro KREM,
...who got me reminiscing on graffiti as an art form in general. In the 90's, we were both pretty well known for massacring trains, buses, walls, etc. Nacrobats crew (A in a Square) RAN the South Side of Chicago, beginning in 94 or so.

(see the Nacro symbol on the cover?)
We chilled:, laughed:, worked on logo designs:, and decided to give the first of many art shows...

("Temple" by CORAIL, Japan)
As usual around here, gonna share what I appreciate as well as original works. Here's just a li'l taste of why this can be called "ART":


("Style Wars" by Kasino)


("ECH" by ECH and MEDIC, 1993)


("4 Cans" by CRAYOLA)



(Various Train Cars by KWEST)

All these were taken the book "Graffiti World" except the ECH and MEDIC piece. Feedback? Submissions for the next exhibit?
