M.I.A. Paper Planes

When I first heard the M.I.A. album this summer, Paper Planes was my shit, I had to play it for everyone. And everyone was impressed by the Clash sample. Anyway, my roomie told me he seen a preview of it the other night on MTV, and that they fucked up the song, they took the gunshots out and changed the vocals up.

Sometimes I get disappointed when someone I dig comprimises their art, so I looked it up online and seen the video, along with the other things, they censored her hands as she made her gunshot gestures.

Today I was relieved to see that Maya herself is also upset about that video, so I posted the one above, with the original song... the one MTV doesn't want you to see.

RVCA Sale Extended

If you don't mind driving to the OC, RVCA is extending their holiday sale to this weekend. I went last time they had a sale and it was worth the trek from El Aye.

IKE TURNER

Ike Turner passed away. Even though he was rarely looked at in a positve manner, he was part of the very first rock n' roll song ever to be recorded, "Rocket 88."

About a month ago, on the way to Turntable Lab, I was going down Fairfax and I seen a guy that looked like Ike Turner in the car next to me, my friend in the back seat said "it is Ike." I asked how she knew, "His plates say 'IKE TRNR' on them!"

i wish i wasn't sick right now

i wanna go, but i'd cough all over monsieur lacrate.

First Post

So this is the first post in what will soon become the magazine's blog. So basically what this magazine is all about is most importantly music, art, street wear and culture. These are my favorite things.

We'll be posting interviews soon as well as features on this and that.
