I’ve been shit lately w/ keeping up on the So What Have I Been Up To? posts so I finally got a Twitter (Can’t really get into Facebook, I think it’s a generational thing I don’t understand, the Gym Class Heroes of internetting.)

So What Have I Been Up To?

A podcast mix for the fine people at XLR8R. Fool’s Gold galore: Kid Sister dropped her single, we have a new compilation coming out with a free tour to support it, and a slew of other releases to check up on.

Cleaning out bookmarks… this new Redman song sounds like pre-steriod Busta album cuts aka best music ever. Genevan Heathen linking soundtrack heat. Speaking of Less Than Zero Bright Lights Big City, Jay McInerney on the birth of yuppies (not for nothing but NY Mag is the “show you how to do this son” of print-to-web). Somebody made a video for my Cardigans edit. Almost bought this on the Cocaine Blunts eBay auctions (welcome back). This dude has been a favorite since the Out Of Sight trunk music. Got Rich Twice. Radiohead played on computer parts. Going to DJ in Poland next month, hoping to cop some epic posters (full disclosure: found that Google image searching “Short Circuit 2″). Dancefloor Dale.

Like clockwork, they always steal my shit at the airport x-ray line. Osama Bin Laden’s nefarious plot to prevent cavities FOILED ONCE AGAIN.

In happier Brick City news, Cosmo Baker just made a Redman megamix to go along w/ their tour I mentioned last week. Lots of classics and personal favorites, download it here and check the tracklist here.

While we’re rapping, my USB thumb drive is named after Imam Thug. Wale met Seinfeld thanks to our mixtape. Emil started a all-bounce blog and Dre Skull went to New Orleans and made an all-sissy bounce mix. And Weezy won an Oscar.

Come thru on Wednesday, should be fun. Scroll around Nah Right for some video and tunes from the Pac Div kids.

On the untz untz-ier side of things, our new weekly FLASHING LIGHTS party in BK is shaping up to be a real good one. Pics from last Friday here, flyer for next week (and thereafter) here.

Here’s the new Izza Kizza video off our mixtape. Very enjoyable Heltah Skeltah interview. Cosmo is on tour with Redman, I’m jealous. Dre Skull says this is gonna change my life. Neat blog from FADER contrib (tho not an ex co-worker from my tenure as initially thought, I am bad with dates! And names!) Daniel Arnold.

You thought that shirt up top inspired itself?

Eric and I finally finished our long-gestating “ultimate 90s tape.” It’s called Radio Friendly Unit Shifter, and our friends at Mishka were kind enough to put it out.

Download link, mission statement, and tracklist all over there, hope you dig it.

Still Westcoastin, cleanin out the bookmarks.

Star Trak goes medieval. Nice new 80s mix (click “mixtape,” duh) from the homie Sureshot, complete w/ art by James Blagden, who I don’t know but has been a favorite for some time. Very necessary Gremlins 2: The New Batch appreciation. Most excellent design blog from Mike2600, just six posts in but absolutely murderizing. Alchemist’s blog is great too.

Bunch of shows coming up, including an afternoon freebie in SF, my first set at LAX (improbable but true), and a trade show spectacular in Las Vegas. Click me five on the left hand side for more info.

Back at the gold ranch… Nacho Lovers have an acid house mix up for download, we unearthed some lost tour photos, and RCRD LBL leaked a promo mp3 from Treasure Fingers’ excellent new single (which you should buy, natch)

Headed down to DC this weekend to play @ DC9, come on out.

In Fool’s Gold news: we have new records out! Buy them!

In rest of world news: I like Joell Ortiz’s blog. And my boy Drew’s soca outpost. And Bang Gang’s new one. And the latest from my spirit guide in all things wavy.

With carbos!
