Shark homegirl Lizzy Snaps Sullivan “drove to Mansville, New Jersey on January 28th, 2011 to document a Friday night wrestling match with NWS (National Wrestling Superstars) wrestlers. The event was held at a veterans hall.” Click here to see the rest of these beautiful photos.

Lizzy has shot everyone from Kanye West to Dita Von Teese, but she still takes time out to snap photos at Shark events and direct videos for Junk Science. You can see more of her work on her website.

I (Baje) wrote a short story / essay for a very new and very cool art magazine called Glasschord. The piece is called ‘Thoughts While on Hold With The I.R.S.’ and you can read it here.

Check out the rest of issue 2 while you’re there, especially an awesome set of photos from Shark homegirl Lizzy Snaps, who documents a night of amateur wrestling in Mansville, New Jersey.

From “the lost weeks” of Cav’s weekly freestyle series… download coming soon.

This post is about the Gills. Yeah Johnny, my old ass is new jack swingin over here, brushing up my 90′s dance move knowledge and loading up my crates, preparing to DJ with Kool Kear and PQ at Hot Jamz, Brooklyn’s illest 90′s dance party, this Saturday at Southpaw (125 5th Ave,) at 10pm.

But like I said, this post is about Gills. But not the ones that sharks and fish breathe through. Read the rest of this entry »

This song is dedicated to all my public school teachers out there. If you live in the U.S. it’s probably the same in your town as it is here in NYC – it’s cutback time. Hard times means less employed people means less taxes collected means the government has less money means it’s time to start laying off government employees. They say they may have to lay off as many as 10,000 teachers here, and they keep debating in the news which types of teachers should get fired. Union policy says the newest hires lose their jobs. The mayor (Bloomberg) wants schools to be able to decide for themselves.

If the former happens then a large number of talented and energetic people will be plucked out the system. If the latter happens, experienced teachers will be easy targets for firing because they get paid more, so schools will have an extra incentive for firing them. Essentially the schools are in an impossible situation, with the teachers (and not to mention the students) caught in the middle. I have friends and family who are new hires. I have friends and family who are experienced teachers. So no matter what happens, I might have to pull a Pharoahe Monch on Bloomberg.

“We’ll never miss you in the streets / Understanding that you made it hard to eat.”

This is pretty much the coolest thing I could’ve ever got in a google alert – to be featured on the home page of a Florida high school’s community website. The other featured songs on here are from John Mayer and Eminem and Taylor Swift etc… so that being said: Extra special shout-out to the kid who posted our weird rap.

TWOOT!

Shark homie Homeboy Sandman is a super powered rap nerd that you should know about by now. If you were flipping through the radio and you heard this dude going completely buckfooly on this beat, you would hold the station dial steady, which is pretty much what Peter Rosenberg did for you by releasing this song. Cop it on itunes here.

Also! Homebody Sandman will be featured on the new Junk Science / Scott Thorough record, which is 98% completed, and will be out late Spring. More on that soon soon.
