Pepsi MAX & Kyrie Irving Present: "Uncle Drew"

We couldn’t wait to see what a young basketball superstar dressed as an old man was going to do once he got on the court with a bunch of “youngbloods.” A reminder of motherly devotion will have your eyes watering. And feeling like you want to strap on cleats and run onto the pitch no matter the weather is invigorating...

Get inked @ Wooster St. New York

There’s been a lot going on with the transition of TV reality shows into every channel on tv and though they all seem to have the same formula with extra hyper weird cast members who may or may not be real (i.e. scripted shows), there is still a lot of interesting stuff out there.

One of the things we have been enjoying recently is the 2nd season of NY ink, a new tattoo adventure led by Ami James (of Miami Ink fame) who has the usual hectic electric panic attacks and clashes between customers and staff (which are more amusing in NY Ink then they were in Miami Ink). And of course lots of cool tattoos flying from the hands of great artists like Tim Hendricks, Megan Massacre, Tommy Montoya and Ami himself.

10 ways to get a proper record deal

With a couple of years of experience on the label side of the music bizz I thought it was worth it to give some insights from a label’s point of view and why certain things don’t work the way people think they should work regarding GETTING A RECORD DEAL.

Every label works differently so below is not a set of rules, but I know some of the mistakes both artist and label make to annoy the fuck out of each other and a little help might do us all some good.

So, here we go…..and yes, this post goes beyond 250 characters

Adam Yauch & The Beastie Boys: Sampling And The Unholy Marriage Of Art And Commerce

Text by George Howard

Source: Tunecore blog

I, like many people, had my life altered by the Beastie Boys. I can still recall pretty much every line from “Hold it Now, Hit it,” and even still have a Cooky Puss vinyl kicking around. My affection for the Beasties never waned over the years: I went through a weird period of flying-induced anxiety that was only allayed by listening to Paul’s Boutique; I delight (much to my wife’s dismay) in dancing around the house with my two young kids to “Shake Your Rump.” So, again, like many people, I was stunned, staggered, and profoundly saddened by the death of Adam Yauch. Far better writers than I have already, and will continue to memorialize Mr. Yauch’s work (as musician, filmmaker, and activist). As but one example, Holly Gleason’s piece in Hits just killed me when she used the phrase “chronic artistic thrust” to describe the Beasties’ later work.

This phrase—“chronic artistic thrust”—so perfectly captures not only the Beasties generally, but Mr. Yauch specifically, that it acts as a signifier of their impact on the industry as a whole.Who else but the Beasties had the chronic artistic thrust, for example, to go from the entertaining/commercially-ingenious, but, by their own admission, and subsequent actions, embarrassingly sophomoric (not to mention misogynistic) License to Ill to what has with a decided lack of irony been referred to as the Sgt. Pepper’s of hip-hop: Paul’s Boutique?

The answer: no one.

The purpose of this article (beyond the less-than-healing catharsis of writing about yet another of my heroes now gone) is to explore the idea of whether or not it is possible that any other artist—requisite chronic artistic thrust, or otherwise—could today make a record like Paul’s Boutique, and, if the answer is “no,” whether or not this is a reasonable reality.

Both License to Ill and Paul’s Boutique are sample-heavy records. However, in terms of sheer quantity of samples, Paul’s Boutique is the winner by a long shot. One of the producers of the album, Dust Brother, Mike Simpson, in the great 33 1/3 book on PB, states that there are between 100 and 300 samples on the record (Le Roy p. 45).

(Here’s a site that lists a lot of the samples.)
