Comic-Con 08 recap

so here's my Comic Con recap. when i wasn't in lines to get my comics signed by Brian Wood and Mark Morales i had the chance to see where all the kool kids hung out at. This years comic con was huge, but as i walked into the show floor i noticed it was kinda dead. all i saw were hipsters and promoters walking around aimlessly with a look of
"what the fuck am i doing here" on their faces. some booths had toki doki and kid robot displays and some had art hanging on little makeshift galleries. i stood there with my bag lunch holding my Girls hand thinking where are all the comic book kids? then it hit me. There was an 2 hour long "Hero's" panel going on so the floor was dead! i took this opportunity to go around a get some flicks of all the toys and what not that we found interesting. As far as comic con went... i wish i had more money

Madvillainy Two. Madlib and MF Doom

Madlib and MF Doom are at it again. Finally Madvillainy 2 was released. The album was released as a digital only release. But Stones Throw did decide to put out a 12" Full Length of the Madvillainy 2 album. It's a two disc pack with all the tracks from the album plus some instrumentals.

So for all the heads that still collect vinyl, we have a few copies at Radio Futura (next door to the GCS). They are also online at http://www.radiofuturamusic.com/

For anyone wondering what the real cover looks like here it is...

Electro Roots

So...
I was checking out the music for this weeks releases (this is Leo from Radio Futura--the music store next to GCS Pomona...YES they are two separate stores) and, well (as most people tend to do) I started following links upon links and came across two CLASSIC DISCO TUNES!!!

The first is "Standing in the Shadows Of Love" By Fever on Fantasy Records! And, the second is "Got Got Money" By Five Letters on Uniwave (the Uniwave pressing is actually a reissue).

"Standing in the shadows..." is a remake of an old Four Tops soul classic on Motown... and many disco fanatics (myself included) believe the Five Letters were/was actually an alias for Cerrone (famous for "Supernature").

In any case, (and in my opinion) songs like these are the source for some of the sounds we hear in the whole current Electro scene. Don't believe me? Check out the DIM remix of the Faint's "The Geeks Were Right" at the end of the post. Oh, and I've got to mention we HAD the Faint track at the store...I'm trying to get more in!

Here they are, 2 classic disco tracks and one new disco (oops.. I mean electro) track..enjoy them!

NORM of MSK. Skull & Sword

The exhibit presented by The Skull & Sword Family and The Seventh Letter, recently opened at Canvas in Los Angeles, bringing with it some of the biggest names in the world of tattooing, graffiti, painting, and graphic design. Curate by San Francisco’s tattoo and graffiti artist NORM, Skull & Sword is a testament to the power and relevance of what many still deem "outsider art".
