This is a nice summation of the origins of the newest collaboration between Travis Barker and A-Trak. While the idea of live drums over a DJ set is no new idea, it seems like the goal here is to bring this to a newer generation of dance consumers, using two of the most recognized and respected practitioners of their respective fields. This clip takes you from rehearsal to their back-to-back sold out shows at the Roxy featuring guest performances by Lil’ Jon, Kid Cudi, and Kid Sister.

The Steady Machine Show was created by Mestizo of Machina Muerte and Dumbfoundead of Knock Steady with resident in house DJ ZO. The two West Coast MCs realized that Los Angeles contains a myriad of eccentric producers and musicians that needed a proper outlet to be heard. So, they came up with a show on Reserve Radio to expose audiences to these new and unheard forms of music.
Featured on their inaugural show is the one of a kind entity known as the Gaslamp Killer. Below is how they describe him and the mix:
“The Gaslamp Killer was a West Coast dirty drum, neck-break beat phenomenon, but as of lately has become a worldwide house hold name in the mouths of eager nutcases waiting for his return to ears and venues. Gaslamp was kind enough to come down to The Steady Machine Show and start off our tirade with a 35 minute murder mix. If you haven t had the chance to see this man in person, every Wednesday night he s at the world famous Low End Theory Club in Los Angeles. Gaslamp left the tracklist to the listeners imagination, so do your homework on the GLK.”
You can stream the mix HERE.
With disco having a reemergence of sorts in various musical circles, it seems only fitting that this shiny, disco-soaked tune from producer GRUM would have a video with a retro feel and afro-laden antagonist. There are also a bunch of girls consuming food in a way that falls somewhere between sensual and grotesque, the choice is yours though.
In honor of Disney’s recent Alice in Wonderland remake, Mighty Fine Men’s has created a collection of tees to celebrate the film and classic story with a contemporary take on some of the iconic imagery. The shirts really pop in a way that appeals to the newer sensibilities of the Tim Burton visuals, while keeping the playfulness of the older animated version. The shirts retail for around $30 USD and are available at most outlets that carry Disney couture.
Deadmau5 teams up with The Public Record, collaborating directly with fans on a final track that will make his forthcoming album for worldwide release.
So, apparently this is the Zap Sandal by Jimmy Choo. It costs $2,495. It is armed with a five-inch heel that is supposed to light up when you dance. I can only think of about three types of women this might appeal to, but you can be the judge. A part of me just feels like these guys got robbed on the whole deal:
Hello my name is… Chris Marsol
Aka… The Black Mamba….oh wait that’s taken.
I was raised in… Hayward, CA
The reason that you’re reading about me is…You’re bored and want to live vicariously through me?
Right now I’m working on…my muscles…..oh and putting a band together. But mainly my muscles.
But I’d rather be…already buff and veiny
My most prized possessions are…my Les Paul Guitar and my Mesa Boogie Amp.
But I’d give it all away for…Those AVATAR 3-D glasses. Cool!
The first thing I do in the morning is…Yawn and scratch my ass
The last thing I do at night is…Yawn and scratch my ass.
My momma always said…”If you can’t remember, it wasn’t that important”
I love it when people…Sneeze and then shake my hand
I can’t stand when people…merge onto on-coming traffic at like half the speed limit so you can get rear-ended.
The most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen is…A Woman’s orgasm. Seriously J
The ugliest thing I’ve ever seen is…A man’s?
I am what I drive, which is…about 150 yards so far but still workin on my golf game.
If you ever see me walking down the street…Kiss me….but only if you have breasts
My most notable run-in with the law…a drunken night involving multiple bouncers, vomit, 4 girls, a turtle-neck and a wife-beater. Long story
If I had to say sorry it would be because…I try not to do things where I’ll have to apologize ‘cause I hate doing it!
The last time I swore I’d never drink was after a night of…the MTV movie awards in LA. Don’t remember much after Eminem performed….I do remember waking up at 5 the next morning with a massive hangover tho!
As you know the Grammy Award-winning rapper Lil’ Wayne began his 1 year jail sentence in Rikers Island yesterday for his arrest in July 2007. He pleaded guilty to attempted criminal possession of a weapon by admitting he had the loaded .40-caliber semiautomatic gun on his tour bus.
In support of Lil’ Wayne Tradition has provided this Limited Edition “Free Weezy” tee for all true Wayne fans out there! You remember how fast their Tiger Woods tee sold out… You don’t want to miss this! Available today at both Tradition locations. You’re not a true Lil’ Wayne fan if you don’t pick one of these up.
