busy kid
Lots of stuff going on lately and havent had much time for this. To break the silence is this exceptionally open-ended short film:
Monday
Adam Haynes
stickfort.com- Adam Haynes
The artist behind the recent nike 6.0 efforts. The first one is sweet... harkens back to a time before photography dominated diptychs.
drugs be gone!
IF you're in the need of a good laugh, direct your browser none elsewhere but this link. Question of the day: how can someone be a parent and not think their kid gets blunty as hell
Friday
floordiving
Saw this video over on JustPassingThru. If I can make facial expressions like the guy in this video...sign me the hell up
Saturday
short hiatus
cerebral compost will be going on a(n unfortunately) scheduled hiatus for the next week so that I can accompany my family to the Jersey Shore for a fambly reunion. If anyone would like to find me/get in touch with me go to Beach Haven Nj and look for the lanky kid without gel in his hair and a constant stream of bro-fanity coming out of his mouth. Ciao
Friday
some better bump for the tribe in your trunk
finally feels like summer today, which i'm all about... heres 2 songs to keep your head moving for the weekend
Tuesday
the high line
80 years ago, NYC's West side restoration project lifted dangerous street level New York Central Rail Road freight trains and tucked them safely several stories above ground. In addition to creating a 1.5 mile long unique structure, the High Line also created a similarly shaped swath of nonplussed tenement residents who would have quickly fallen in love with Ambien, had it appeared on the scene several decades to the left. When big oil barons shifted the nation's main mode of transport to interstate trucking (read: moving a stone wall rock-by-rock in favor of a wheelbarrow for the sake of profit), the High Line was abandoned. As the crystal ball did it's yo-yo act on top of One Times Square, mother nature began to have her way with the tracks. Office workers, tenants, and the like would glance out their windows overlooking the archaic rail road tracks and notice it's likeness to a wildflower speckled green caterpillar snaking through the city. Following the path of many a city roof, the former High Line is now being turned into a city park. Read more here. In reference to the Stockholm Subway Stories post below, I can only hope this project goes from being a public spaces reclamation to a public art exhibit...
Monday
yesterday's new quintet
Here's a short piece outlining the impact of YNQ on hip hop. Really worth checking out, and I strongly recommend it if you're one of the buffoons who still believes hip hop is just n bombs and noise

Indian Deli might sound familiar if you've been following the Jiberish team this season:
The 2nd song in that edit is pretty banger too, so why not download it here.
stay tuned for more madlib week
Friday
madlib the bad kid
Check it out.. I hooked it up like the cable guy on this one...
posted this a day or two ago, now you can download it, word.
and here's a new one, if you're like me you will hate this song the first 10 times you hear it, but then you'll be up late at night working on something, or driving and it will come on that 11th time and you'll be in love.
Thursday
madlib week
double track from madlib's experimental jazz project, Yesterday's New Quintet.
and another track from YNQ, good summer time joint:
Wednesday
start of a trend
I have unofficially decided that it's madlib week. For the next week I'm gonna put up my favorite stuff from arguably the most versatile modern musician. ack like ya know
I'll open with one of his more famous cuts from his Lootpack days.
and now to take it to the complete opposite end of the spectrum...I love this song, and the album it's from as well. Madlib was given access to the entire library of Blue Note Records with the explicit instructions to chop, mix, and mingle. The video ain't bad to look at either
Friday
pondering
things just aren't made the same anymore
when things were made the same, were they still not made the same anymore?

insignificant
think redwoods are big? think again. There's a fungus in oregon that covers more than 1500 acres. Of course you can't see this fungus as it is mostly subterranean, but it does send up small called honey mushrooms. The fungus was discovered after Mycologists were sent to the area to investigate an abnormally large number of pine tree deaths. In order to figure out what it was, they sampled the DNA extracted from the honey mushrooms from all over the area affected by the fungi. When the results came back they were astonished to find the dna to be identical, revealing that over six million square meters of pine trees were being killed by a single organism. Armillaria ostoyae kills trees by sending out tendril-like rhizomorphs which enter the roots and vascular system of trees, depriving them of water and nutrients.
Did I mention that it came from a single spore germinated over a thousand years ago?
think about it
