Listen to Chester French

Chester French Fall 08 Tour Diary Episode 1 from Chester French on Vimeo.

When the Tomcats had a radio show, I used to go and be like 'Listen to Chester French'. I love them. I used to sing some of the songs when I was on the show and look like a jerk. Well, sound like a jerk. Finally they are coming to my town. Well not Brooklyn but close.

They are gonna be here on Oct 4 with N.E.R.D. and Common.

We in there.

Just watch the end of the video.

Kaws

I became familiar with Kaws when I used to buy a lot of BAPE stuff in '04 '05. I remember I went in the store and they were telling me these new sneakers were coming out designed by the same guy who did some of the clothes. Kaws. (I guess this was pre-Original Fake?) You can see the pic of one of my shirts with the BAPE ape on it. I liked those. I still wear them sometimes. Anyway, I did this paper on street art and KAWS came to mind again. In my 'research' I stumbled upon this old video of him hitting the streets in the olden days.

1997 KAWS!

So that was about 5 months or so ago. Recently I heard he had an exhibit in Miami. I just saw the pictures. Dope. You can see more at Supertouch.

C'est Vrai

That means 'this is true' in french. I Love to listen to Flex on HOT97. He is cool as a DJ but I love the commentary. I love when he figures out clever ways to ask people how much money they and when he tells us about which cars are bad. Here is what he thinks about R. Kelly.

A Put On...

I got put on to Kesh by me lady. I started looking at her Blog a while ago. Apparently she broke her nose recently. Anyway, here is a short video from her fashion show in New York a while ago.

FADER TV: Fashion Week Behind-the-Scenes with Kesh

I wish we could have seen more of the clothes on the show.

I'm going to see Busy P and DJ Mehdi tomorrow. Can't wait!

How To Eat Fried Worms

I just bought 5 used cd's off of Amazon the other day. One of which was music from someone who I have been obsessing over during the last couple of months. Who is it?



Mr. Oizo. Yea, you guessed it. Mr. Oizo's - When Analog Worms Attack. I wanna be on some independent TV channels version of Made where I was an aspiring DJ/Producer and Mr. Oizo was my mentor, then he liked me after the show and then we became cool. I am gonna listen to this a couple of times. I have another one of his cd's coming in the mail. Early.

The Iphone Chronicles....

Hello everyone, I would like to welcome you to my very first segment of a collection of post I will be writing about. The post happen to be about one of the most important possessions I own; my cellular phone. My cell is more than just a phone for me, its like the other half of my brain.

I Purchased the Iphone 3G 2 days after I came out. So I was involved in the excitement of whole wait on line thing at the Apple store on 14h st. I was still on the fence about getting the phone for a couple of reasons: I still had service on T-mobile, and I have been a faithful blackberry user for the past 3 years, so I was very skeptical. But one thing prevailed over everything – the Iphone seemed so damn cool!

So now I have AT&T and a brand new phone. I am still not 100% sure If I have made the right decision. Blackberry is so so business-like, faster and has less defects. I have already went through two software updates with the Iphone and it has been a nightmare both times with me losing data. And although I have gotten a lot better at typing on the screen, its just not the same. Talks of this new Blackberry Thunder is killing me as well. I hear its going to be so dope! Through all this, I still like it. To tell the truth, its niftiness is unmatched… anyway, I am a tech guy, and I've just had the phone for just over a month, so I know that I will pushing this phone to its limits in the times to come. But one thing is for sure- If Big Brother Billy Gates and Stevie Jobs don’t demand an effective Copy & Paste solution soon, I'm gonna FLIP!!!

Till’ next time…

Is...Is that my Car???....

Only in New York Man!!! No, I was not a victim to some chick getting back at me for revenge; I was a recipient of a random act of burglary! To be honest, I would probably feel better if it were a chick who did that to me. At least I would be able to stomach it a little better. But anyway, my wheels were broken into because of my GPS... My Damn GPS. A GPS that someone is going to sell for what..$50 bucks!!! Yea yea, I know they tell you to keep in hidden. I did! Dude went into my glove compartment and took it!!! Its not like I had it out, all I had out was the holder. Besides, I was parked on the better side of Washington Heights, a relatively nice area. My car has been parked in some of the wildest hoods from NYC, NJ and all the way out to (at the time)Killadelphia, and nothing has ever happened. Sucks…

Anyway, a worthless police report, worthless Geico conversation, and $200+ later… the glass is fixed. I wonder if it’s a sign that I should sell my wheels?.?.? Gas is high as hell, and car insurance is like a damn scam. Yet another thing for a young renaissance man-in-training to dwell on….
