loved to death.

so my friends at loved to death make shit... like the best shit... like ever. they do taxidermy work... jewelry, hair pieces, curio's, etc.
everything is made with care and then some... nothing is ever killed to be used... all made from recycled and salvaged parts, and all are made in memorial to the animal that has passed.

the loved to death shop is also the home of articulated gallery... which has been home to some absurdly amazing art show's over the past year... they're having an anniversary show on august 6th featuring the photography work of tommy ferguson.
there will be booze and darkness, with myself and nako providing musix. come hang k?

those kids obsess on musix like i do... so these two trax are fer them... they fer y'all too so feel free to grab 'em.
chelsea wolfe... insanely beautiful as always... (on tour with liturgy this month... and playin 120 minutes in sept)... and nike7up coming through 120 minutes in august.

isaiah the toothtaker.

my homie serge runs a sick blog called beer and rap... and i been buggin' him to spit some shit up in here fer awhile now... he's more than delivered...
this is an interview he did for us with one of my favorite rappers doin' it right now, isaiah the toothtaker. covers every thing from where his name comes from to what happens when you hit a man in the face with a black jack. this shit is fuck-ing real.

it's a long interview... but more than worth the read...
here's a sample (click to hear audio).
" One of them I split his face in half and like his eyeball popped out. He had to have surgery to put his eyeball back in and that’s self defense still. II used a black jack that time but it was like yo, it was versus seven dudes so what if I had a black jack. I could have stabbed each of them in the face and it would have been self defense.

 They got me for fucking assault with a deadly weapon, temporary disfigurement, and another like high up assault charge. It was like yo that’s obviously self defense. And like all those motherfuckers even corroborated to say that it was self defense. They all kind of said they tried to jump me, but yet they hemmed me up. I got indited for that shit, caught a felony for it. And the same shit, just cause the cops fuck up police reports and write what ever the fuck they want, doesn’t matter if it’s somebodies life on the line."

his stories are sick, his music is sick.

read the whole interview after the jump. (seriously it's fucking uh-mazing)

TEARIST.

a week ago today i was high as fuck on sizzurp and drunk as hell on whiskey and tequila trying to hold shit together and dj... it was an amazing night... nako and oOoOO both killed (as usual), rezound was in from new york and he totally fuckin' brought it... but tearist (pronounced tear, as in to rip, ist) may well have kept me alive.



go pick up tearist's record here.

i'm in love with chelsea wolfe...

i hope that statement doesn't creep her out. i'm kind of prone to hyperbole... but i'm not sure if that's what's at issue here. the girl is seriously fucking uh-mazing... intelligent, well spoken, and sweet as all hell... then she gets on stage and fucking destroys me. she does what any good performer should. she becomes what she presents.

i talked to her for a bit and got some footage from her performance at noise pop... if y'all missed that shit... don't worry... i'm bringing them back for 120 MINUTES this summer.




showed her this video, and this was her response.
"out of space and time; bottomless and boundless floods.. something died inside me last night, normally that might sound like a bad thing but i think actually it cleared out a fog in my head.. my memory is bringing me all sorts of sounds and colors and days that i could never remember before..."
seriously... fuck-ing love.


go buy her album, the grime and the glow, from pendu right now... fer realz.
