  1. I hit up Captains today. Definitely lots of new wave and classic rock but I picked up a couple cool rare funk re-releases from Tuff City records, one of being The Fabulous Fantoms from here. There was a K-Doe record on the wall callin my name but I couldn't get down with the price :/
  2. Japanese Iced Coffee is my favorite way to do cold
  3. Ah word. Well if you are in New Orleans come to where I roast, French Truck Coffee, and have some of our nitro cold brew!
  4. Id recommend Revelator in Birmingham. They should be roasting on site if I'm not mistaken.
  5. Yeah I'm plannin on going once I get out of work. It's been a few years since my last record raid, when they used to be in the Tulane quad, so I'm excited.
  6. Very sad to see Juan Le Ger close. I only went once but they had a great selection. i havent been to Captains Vinyl in midcity but ive heard good things. Disko Obscura, around the corner (literally) from Jim Russells is also worth checking out if youre into funk/dance etc. The owner has some of the best taste in the genre. I havent been to Bryan Funks new spot but I used to get some gems (OG Thou, Cursed, etc) at Iron Rail when he ran the selection. Now its a pizza place :/
  7. I've been out of the loop the last four or five years with bands popular around here and I can't believe how much stuff I have, had and was too lazy to pick up is going for these days.
  8. Maui is real nice but I havent been there, Honolulu or the big island in probably 14 years. Kaua'i is where its at. A few years ago I visited my friend from college who grew up there and it was one of the best few days of my life.
  9. also, i know the guy photographer that issued the statement with her and i think i know who the girl is. these guys are just old people that are so used to sitting in their photo safe zone for 3 songs. fuck em. mars volta did the same thing at voodoo fest 3 years ago. omar was grabbing cameras and throwing them into the crowd, knocking over lights, getting very physical with the photographers.
  10. i was there, it was way over hyped. odd futures performance was fucking awful though http://www.drivenbyboredom.com/blog/2011/10/31/odd-future-vs-photographers/
  11. var ads = new Array("300x250-1.png","300x250-2.png","300x250-3.png"); var num = Math.floor(Math.random()*ads.length); if(Math.floor(Math.random()*2) == 0) { if(Math.floor(Math.random()*2) == 0) document.write('+':sajdx1t5]'); else document.write('+':sajdx1t5]'); } else { document.write(''); }
  12. i love that kavinsky is the opening song. love me some french house
  13. do you guys have any mixes? i rushed this one out about 20 minutes ago http://soundcloud.com/palemale/late-august-11 also have this http://soundcloud.com/palemale/august11 i made too many mistakes in both but whatever
  14. Are you just spinning vinyl? I have serato and I play house mostly but I have a set of songs that I play right now from 118bpm to 130. good luck
  15. This is funny to watch. The media has created a gigantic over reaction. Can't wait to see the reaction of people forced to leave their cities and jobs and go through serious bullshit when these cities get a half foot of water...if that
  16. Lots of producers play live ie Justice and right now, SBTRKT and AraabMUZIK (http://vimeo.com/25803609). It's retarded to discredit anyone because they make music in logic. Making quality songs on logic is very difficult to begin with and a lot of electronic artists are creating their own sounds and doing very innovative things. I have 2 friends that are getting tons of hype and they're the most talented musicians I've met in a while. One of them in particular can and will produce music that blows away anything that is ever posted on this board. Some of it will be pop music but he is incredibly talented. SBTRKT is also taking a lot of the dubstep influence and turning it into something new and exciting Electro music right now is great for the most part. Punk/Hardcore or whatever I listened to 3-8 years ago has become so mundane and boring. Not to mention the scene is absolutely blowing up. Check out the Mad Decent block party to see how big it's getting.
  17. var ads = new Array("300x250-1.png","300x250-2.png","300x250-3.png"); var num = Math.floor(Math.random()*ads.length); if(Math.floor(Math.random()*2) == 0) { if(Math.floor(Math.random()*2) == 0) document.write('+':1uknh2im]'); else document.write('+':1uknh2im]'); } else { document.write(''); }
  18. I got a bunch of Meters records from a dude in Siberia. I'm so happy.
  19. I just bought a bike from State, only $420. Should be here today or tomorrow http://www.statebicycle.com/
  20. I havent shot anything inside a 200-1000 cap venue in probably 6 years. Totally not worth the effort and I usually end up with the same 5 boring photos, not to mention the lighting is usually god awful. I've only really done festivals since high school and dealing with 50 other photographers who are all shooting the exact same thing is just not appealing to me anymore. Granted, I've walked away with some nice photos over the years. But most bands don't have unique stage performances so every photo is a dude playing guitar/bass with a microphone in their face :/ It's basically like collecting baseball cards. "Oh I shot Janes Addicition, Smashing Pumpkins, Red Hot Chili Peppers"...cool but the photos suck cause I only had 5 minutes to do so. At least when I shot Drake I had the hook up. Also, I've found the older concert photographers (Age 30+) to be really bitter assholes haha.
  21. Ive got a Canon 50D with a 70-200mm/2.8IS, 50mm/1.8 and I just got a 10-22mm/3.5 yesterday. I used nikon for a while but made the switch to canon when I got a 70-200. I'm really glad I made the switch. I took a pretty big hiatus from photos, other than during my travels. I was pretty uninspired to do anything, not to mention really lazy. I also had some resentment towards everyone that has a digital SLR these days but fuck it. Everyone can have those cameras, it'll just make those who are really good with photography stand out all that much more. Although I am pretty much done with concert photography unless I have some sort of exclusive access. I just don't see the point in it anymore. I'm gonna start doing a lot of portrait stuff in the next few weeks/months. I've got a pretty interesting group of people to document down here so I'm pretty excited about that. I shot this with the 50mm the other day when I had some nice natural lighting in my apartment. The lens is totally worth the 100 bucks
  22. I made one for my photography. Basically posting every decent photo I've ever taken http://goingduffy.com/
