RiotControl

I've been sleepin' on this for a month, and I apologize.

Burt Fox and the RiotControl crew offer up a podcast that specializes in, well, everything. The mix that's up right now goes from The Roots to J Dilla to Aretha Franklin to Dizzee Rascal to Public Enemy... very keen, with loads of familiar cuts and those forgotten gems you need in your life. I also like how dude takes pics of the covers of the albums/singles he spun - really nice touch, really dope dedication as well.

Check out the latest edition, "RiotControl Seven w/ Burt Fox":

The Payback - James Brown
Grown Man's Business - Mos Def
Godfather Theme - The Professionals
Glaciers of Ice - El Michel's Affair
Landmines Instr - Yes You (burt fox and breez evahflowin)
The Jungle - El Juba (con burt)
La Murga - Willie Colon
McNasty Filth - Jaylib
Apollo Kids - Ghostface
Don't Feel Right - The Roots
Soul Food - Frankie Seay and the Soul Riders
Alcohol Pt 1 - Robert Jay
The Weight - Aretha Franklin
Where Is My Mind - Pixies
Workinonit - JDilla
Whatcha Want (Soul Assasins Rmx) - Beastie Boys
Jump Off Instr - Wu Tang Clan
Bring The Noise - Public Enemy
Sirens - Dizzee Rascal
Death Mix 2 beat - Afrika Baambaata
Planet Rock - Breakout
Planet Rock - Afrika Baambaata
Hey Hey Can You Relate - Mink and 2wice

You know you wanna... hit up their MySpace page, and make sure you subscribe to their podcast feed (you should also dig into the archives... loads more to digest). I'm not sure how frequent the shows come (this one is from June 7th of this year), but hopefully this plug will make Burt knock another one out (wink, wink).

Keep it going!

756*

Let me just preface this by saying that I'm not a big baseball fan at all. I haven't watched a game since I went to a minor league game in my hometown with my father-in-law and my mom's boyfriend...

Why do we get pissed at Barry Bonds for breaking Hammerin' Hank Aaron's home-run record over supposed steroid abuse, yet allow him to play? Michael Vick is in boiling water for fighting dogs, and the NFL is like "um, nah nigga, don't even THINK about coming to camp". The MLB is looking at Bonds like "well, we MIGHT put an asterisk next to your stats in the record books, but you also bring $$$ to the sport". Say I'm wrong. And to hear my boy Enigmatik tell it, "they excluded an entire race of people from playing even though every knows that blacks woulda murked 'em on the field"... no truer words have been spoken on this subject.

Why the double standard? Why kick his back in, but allow him to make bread for you? It's not like Barry wasn't/isn't a hall of famer based on the shit he made before he looked like a juiced up Ving Rhames... I mean, OK, he's broken the record now, right? Alex Rodriguez just hit 500 homers the other night... he's SURE to get murk whatever record Barry will retire this year with (if you think neph will be playing any more ball after this season, you're bugged). Why even go on about this, knowing that Barry's shit won't last 30+ years? It just seems like they want to get his shit done and over with quickly... but they sacrifice the stats their baseball cards and sport is built on. Having that * in the books is a bad look, but they did it to themselves...

Remember the times...

LOST: Latest Podcast/"Orchid" orientation film

Did you LOST fans miss my post from this past Friday, alerting you to the new podcast up? If so, I suggest you take 52 minutes out of your day and give this a listen. They take questions from a room full of fans, giving insight on the way the next 3 seasons will be structured (with some word towards the flash forwards), words about Michael's return, and some funny moments. They also made mention towards the end about an event that would be happening... which turned out to be a new orientation film! This time, it was about Station 6, AKA "The Orchid" (Lostpedia has all the info HERE). Check out this vid:



I also found the trailer for the much-hyped LOST video game:


I definitely think it's odd to have a linear game based on the show, but it looks interesting... who knows.

In any case, what do YOU guys think is going to happen this coming season (Feb. 2008 can't get here soon enough)???
